Naturally of course it amt my

it ain right for one sorry man like julie

in now for scotchin the procession is
that he can't got 40 wagor~= team to
move with. That is the news that come
to me last night and I am now on my
way to the hill country. When I get
there julie Majors he will move and tho
procession will proceed" And Blew he
driv on.
1t "as after supper that night when
Blew come thunderin by on his return
back from the hill country, but l helt
him up and got the latest news.
"By gatiins, Rufe, 1 moved him and
the procession can now proceed in re-
lar ORDER" says Blew. Julie made out
like he want ready and tried his bland
est to turn me back. He took the studs
and bucked and kicked and snorted and
cavorted. But I told him it want no
use, / had come over to move him, and
he had to move. I couldn't make that
long trip with a four-mule team for
nothin, and dadburn him, I moved him.
I know it a my funeral, and you
mought maybe say 1 took up d blame
fool notion, but it had to be did, Rufe-
it just simply had to be did"
l will leave it for you to say as to
whether Blew was right or wrong in
takin the job to move julie Nabcrs. And
l will say that he was dead right about
one thing. 1t was my private opinion
that he had went and took up a blanc

school with a youngster by the name of
Bunch Marlowe. 1t was a fair fight
with nothin but the weapons which
mother nature had give them, and the
way they fit and scratched and chawed
and bit was a plum sight to see. The
performance wen on fast and furious
till finally at last Bunch bit a plug out
of Andy's arm, and Andy no bit a three
cornered slice out of the other boys left
ear.
"Dadblame him, 1 put a clean, smooth
underbit in his left ear" said Andy, as

The Chicago Platform.


1t would nave been very difficult for
the makers of the Chicago platform more
completely to have combined the worst
elements of monetary disturbance and
wildcat currency than are contained in
their free coinage of silver and Jack.
sonian paper money declarations. The
principle of non-legal tender bank note
curreny, held subject to daily coin re-
demption, which Jackson overthrow, In
his distraction of tho Bank of the United
States, and which the Chicago platform
deDounces, Is the vital principle in sound
banking the world over. 1t is this princi-
pie that makes the Bank OF England, the
Bank of Scotland aad the Bank of Canada
so pre-emjnenily superior to the rationa
banks OF this country. Ii Is this pripci-
pie which enables the farmers of Manitoba
to get the same money accommodations
and at substantially the same rates of iu-
terest as the manufacturers and merchants
in the commercial centres. 1t is, in
short, the only principle which gives
elasticity with safety in paper currency
anywhere. Yet through their prejudice
against capital and consequent hatred of
bankers and successful business men
generally, these semi-socialistic fanatics
have denounced the fiscal principle which
is the very soul OF sound BANGING, and
the cheap, elastic and safe currency
which the South aud West so greatly
need, and have declared In favor of Gov
ernment legal tender nat paper currency,
the very worst kind of money the world
ever saw.
