as he had come to the conclusion to do
the work himself, a tramp came around
and wanted his breakfast. Sam asked
him how he would like TO work little,
and the tramp replied that he was ready

There is a class of fool republicans who
will in spite of everything refuse to adj
nit that there is any possibility Of times
getting better. They of course lay all

They are much like those democrats who
when crops fail by reason of drouth or
grub worms want the people to believe
that the republican party should be
driven from power so as to make better
times. Every one knows that there is
no sense in the recent fright and alarm
Of capital by reason Of which it went
into hiding, and II will remain in hiding
until the senseless fright which caused
the lack of confidence is over with. Hap

every year there is a July or August
drought that about ruins one or more
garden crops and some times gardeners
will make provisions to meet such emer-
gencies by storing water or pumping
it. A few hundred barrels of water put
on garden at a critical time OF a
drought would doubly repay It's cost
where the ground is properly situated.
Where a stream could be damned or
a lake utilized power pump could be
made to do the rest and such an
