old man lobe went on, waxin warm and

NFOggY I'm tho Creek.O

Now then. The primary election cotne
to pass as usual one day last week. The
weather was clear as a bell on election
day, but as the returns came in and be-
fore the sun went down it was lookin
tremendous foggy up the creek for old
man lobe. And when finally at last
they swung down under the wire it was
plain to a man OF the grand stand that
the candidate from Panther Creek was
the hindmost horse in the race.
Old man lobe he got left. He likewise
also got foamin mad. But the other fell
low got the votes.
The very neNl day old mar lobe lit
out for the Panther Creek settlement.
He wouldn't take g meal of v~ictuals nor
hit a lick of sleep till he rued the trade
and got holt of his farm and farmin fix

give up his town house and return back
to the old liclalog, where he belongs.
Il am p1undstkatisfed with the way in
which the denpecrats run, and | am more
than willin to quit the game as it now
stands" says old man lobe to me right
after the storm. But it really hurts
me, Rufe, when / think about how many
of my horny-handed fellow citizens are
silver-tongued liars. Dad blame 'em,
the woods are full of emf"
And that's what makes me say to my
self, says I:

Hand outstretched for the moon;

Needing not roses Of June.

Soothing when shadows they prove;
flushed in the arms of its mother,
Soothed by caresses Of love.
Laughing and cooling and crying,
Sweet as the heart of a rose;
Trembling all over with mischief,
From its head to its chubby wee toes;
Filling hearts with new sunshine,
Cheering u wearitome way;
Teaching us that the dark shadows
Conceal the suns beautiful ray.
Blessing of Heaven, the dearest,
Our hearts by thy smile made glad;
The touch of thy soft, dimpled fingers
Has made US forget to be sad.
In thy smile we are basking in sunshine.
Thy prattle all gloom has beguiled;
There's nothing that's nearer to Heaven
Than the innocent heart of a child.

may be accomplished by never vary
::ng devotion to a sangle purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For Is years they have simply been

forty manufacturers in this line, it is
safe to say that the Mccormick

MATRIMONIAL JAR.
The Painful Tale Of a Husband
Who Had Twenty-Eight Hats.

1t might have remained there a long
time, Picket's new hat, if Mrs. Picket
did not repeat every time her eyes fell
upon it:
.Ehat in the world possessed you to
buy another new hat, when you leave
it there for weeks without ever opening
the box i came IMP"
"But," said Picket, II have not worn
1t, because you keep telling me tina:
my old nj looks all right"
"Yes, and you already have 81 hats
that you have quit wearing, and you
leave them in your closet covered with
dust. What in the world do you keep
them for? Why don't you throw them
away"
"Throw them away! And yet you
know very well that you never throw
anything away. You would not throw
away a match that had been already
lighted. You're so fond of saying: Tt
might come in handy"
"Well," sad Mrs. Picket, at is true
that I never throw away things that
might come in handy, but how can old
hats come in handy? What is
there in piling up old hats which are of
no use to anyone, when there are SO
many poor creatures who walk the
streets b~arefooted?"
But" said Picket, "they could not
wear my hats on their bare feet"
Il don't see anything funny in that"
said Mrs. Picket, Jelly. "You know
what l mean. You needn't that
you don't understand me. Why don't
you send for an old clothes man and
sell him your hats?"

I'D like to know what you do think

hut do as you Please. Buy new hats,
wear them, don't wear them. It's your
own affair."" Mrs Picket concluded
with saying: "You make me tired" and
she retired from the room, slamming
the door with a violence which made
the chandelier rattle.
Such is married life" said the stupe-
fed Picket, gazing after his wife.

when you never wear it? and the first
day that I put it on to 60 out she will be
sure to say: What are you wearing
your new hat for when the other one is

Some days afterwards Picket said to
his wife: II am going out"
Indeed" said Mrs. Picket, "where

remarked Picket. YES, that is lust

well, why don't you throw your old
one in the closet with the others?"
With rising rage, Picket took up the

hurled the venerable hat with much |

him. When the party reached the po-
lice station, the proprietor of the res
taurant made his complaint to tho
sergeant there.
That's the man." said he. "For the
last two weeks some scoundrel has
been coming to my restaurant, and
whenever he goes out somebody misses
a hat. We have been watching for him.
Now we've got him. There he is. This
is the thief. We caught him in the very
act"
"But I was simply mistaken in tho
hat" cried Picket. IF I were stealing
a hat l would have two here, but /
haven't. This is not mine, but you will
find mine hanging on the hook"
"Yes," said the restaurant man. II
know. Ordinarily you were in the habit
of carrying a gripsack in which you
put the other hat. This time $, came
without it."
But | am an honest man, persisted
the unfortunate Picket. II am well
known. Let the officer 60 to my house,
and he will see" He gave his name and
his address, and the sergeant, wavering
in the face of his protestations, sent an
officer to accompany him to the address
given. In about half an hourthe officer
returned bearing an enormous pile of
hats.
"Here, sergeant" said the latter,
'see what / found in the fellows house.
His wife had gone out, and it was the
servant who let me in"
"Well," said the sergeant, severely,
looking at the accused person, "do You
still deny that you are a hat thief?"
gazing at the gigantic pile of hats.
Il deny it. deny it in toto," said tho
unfortunate Picket. II bought these
hats. / don't wear them, but l bought
them"
"You don't wear them? What in the
world can you do with % hats?"
SWELL, you see my wife has always
told me to sell them to an old-clothes
man. I think of it, I am so for
getful. Why, to-day I even forgot my
umbrella l never had any head"
"YouSlave no head? What do you
want with 20 hats, them"
But at this moment a weeping woman
entered the police station. It was Mrs.
Picket. She had heard from the servant
Of the plight in which her luckless hus.
band was placed, and came and told thl
police sergeant who he was and that tins
hats were really his. But was Picket
grateful to her? Hardly. He wished
a thousand times that she had not heard
about his misadventure and that he had
succeeded in going through all the pains
and horrors of a police court far rather
than that she should find him there |

her superior judgment staring him in

with breakfast, lunch and dinner. He
had it with his soup. He had it with his

can soak his steer, cause he amt got
nothin else, and every man is free and
equal in this great country. That would
be a big thing for Dunk, you under
stand, but if we start the soakin bust
ness with the governmentnobody knows
certain where it would stop. AS for
US, we couldn't soak our corr and cot
and seed potatoes if we had done
l'een and run heels over appetite in
debt, and so long as we don't wv moth
in we can keep the stuff here at home,
sell it and put the money away in the
chist.
Consequentially, says l to myself, if
1t ever comes to that pass where we can't
make tongue and buckle meet without
soakin somethin with the government,
then | will move that we go and put our
blame fool head in soak.
