THE BALD-HEADED MAN.

One would think to read the papers discours-
ing on the fly,
The grounds for his creation and the various
reasons why,
That the underlying motive, the real objective
plan,
Was to get another Whack at
The bald-headed man.
Now the fly is no respecter of persons or of
he lights wherever fancy or the scent of game
dictates;
His object is to suck up all the juices that he
And he is no Nemesis of
The bald-headed man.
The fly has been created for q scientific use,
And there is no use Of hunting up a thinly-clsd
excuse;
He was made to give reporters, ever since the
world began,
Another chance to ridicule
The bald headed man
You may talk Of sticky paper and lay trains of
dynamite,
But the fly will live and flourish, as he always
has, in spite,
And the paragraphing punsters from Beer
sheba to Dan
VIII keep up their persecution Of
The bald-headed man.
But let them all remember there was once
prophet old
To whom the sportive urchins, IN wickedness
made bold,
Remarked: $50 up thou bald-headP' when
out the big bears ran
And swallowed up the scoffers Of
The bald-headed man.

Jean Th!ery, a rich merchant and ship
owner in the Rhine provinces, died in
1916, leaving a fortune Of $1,000 Louis
dor in Paris nn1 100000 .halers in the
Venice mint. His heirs for some un-
known reason did not draw tie money
from the depository in Venice, so at the
end of the last century Napoleon found
it still untouched and appropriated it 20
the use of his army. For the last thirty
years the descendants of Thiesy have
been trying to find a way of recovering
the 800, 900 thalers with interest. Re
Gently they all met in Cologne, and r..
solved to send their lawyers TO Paris to
move the French government to pay
over an indemnity. II was said that the

their claims and advised the government

Jess. yap,c,' Mainland.

"Jesse James, the Missouri bandit,
possessed many manly qualities" feel
ingly exclaimed Uncle Dick Henderson
at the Brunswick hotel. II knew him
well. He was turned into a Nemesis
after the Pinkertons threw that bomb
through the window of the Samuels resi-
dence and blew off the arm of Jesse's
mother. Ever after that occurrence
both Frank and Jesse declared war to
the knife on the Pinkerton men. The
killing of Jesse James by Bob Ford was
the cowardly act of treacherous, uu-
grateful fiend. Bob wasn't eating reg
ular' when Jesse took him to his home,
gave him shelter and food and treated
him well. One day, when Jesse was
dustiug off n picture and had his back
turned, Bob shot him from behind. OF
course you know that but very few peo-
pie ever learned what picture Jesse was
dusting off when he got his death wound.
1t was the large picture of his dear old,
white haired mother, whom he loved
dearly.
In one robbery at Blue Cut, when
the James gang went through train,
Jesse led the way and relieved the pas
sengers of their valuables. Ee came to
one woman in black. who was sobbing
bitterly. Jesse stopped and inquired the
cause of her sorrow. As she handed
him $40 in greenbacks she cried out con-
vulsively: It's all have in the world.
My husbands corpse is in the baggage
car Tears came TO the eye of the train
roSber. Going into his pocket he re-
turned the $40 and added two crisp $lOO
bills TO it, which he forced the widow to
accept. He never would rob cripple,
o. an old gray haired woman, either.
He once took an overcoat off his own
back in the streets Of Liberty, Mo-, and
gave it i, poor. sSivering old man that
had been turned out ;uto the cold by an
ungrateful san-in-law. | could name

A WORD TO CANDIDATES.

There is no doubt how Hand county
will go on the state ticket, as republicans
will vote her straight 1t is a good ticket
and deserves the party vote. So also is
the county ticket, with the two excep-
tions noted elsewhere. The rest Of the
candidates are good men. and the PRESS
hopes they will 'not try TO bolster up
Strickling and Burton, and sndanger
themselves. These two mon deserve and
are doomed to defeat Let them alone
and work for yourselves. You are not
responsible for their acts, and will not be
30 considered by good men Of all parties
unless you try to defend their crooked
ness. We feel confident that the result
will prove our position correct.
The PRESS is fighting for right, and we
want the credit for dong it openly and
honestly. weare practicing no deceit.
