There is a SOW in Sunfower CT

about in this wise: An old cow had
pigs on the side of slough, but
from some cause or other the pigs
gradually died off, leaving the old
sow to herself, who returned to her
wallow daily, and possibly hourly,
when some one discovered that
when she lay down close to the wa
ter's edge and give grunt. the bull
frogs would jump from the bottom
of the deep and commence sucking
the old SOW, who seemed to be fond
of her adopted children. This may
be frog story, bat we give il for
what it is worth.-Tunica indie

Ny son, follow not the footsteps
of the loafer, make no pattern of
the example of him who is born
tired, for verify / say unto you, bis
business is overstocked and the
seats on the corner are all taRen,
and the whiting places are all full.
1t is better to saw wood at tw o bits
cord than to whittle IN a loafing
match and cuss the government.
My son, while tbou hast yet left in
thy skull the sense OF a jay bird,
break away from the cigarette hab-

a store dummy. Yea, thou art a

No partisan can afford to threat

defeated. The letter FROM Idaho
now going the rounds of the press,
demanding "free silver or blood"
is a most unwise communication, il
