jim AND WINNIE
Had Fence That Caused this Quarre
Most Intense,


Most Intense.
Jim Douglas lived in Tennessee"
upon the western boundaries of fair To-
peka, south of west that only colored
folks infest.
Jim had a sister, Winnie Smith, whom
he had had some trouble with. Be that
a truth or just another, both of them pos
sessed a mother they handled by the
name of Easter, and Winnie said that
Jim had fleeced her out of many a hard
earned eplunk" sfrom out her boarded
pension chunk" Don't let her name be
blamed, beg, that she had Matched SO
bad an egg.
Now jim and Win were neIghbors,
see? But never very neigh borly.
Perhaps it was a week ago, that Jim
averred that he would show his sister
Win. that she could not peek longer into
his back lot. He'd build a highboard
alright fence and make her gaze away
from thence.
And so he started out to do it. But she
came home to make him rue it.
He had the postholes excavated and
half the fence up-felt elated, when
Winnie came and spoiled it all with an
eighteen donkey power bawl.
Down on the line herself she threw
and Jim go: rattled-so would you.
Down on the posthoIe Winnie cropped
and this she cried as down che Hoped:
ST told you this partition fence
Should ne'er our lot divide;
Hear this hole; thy shoves near;
Jim Douglas, thou TT defied.''
Jim didn't see what ele to do but to
take his fist and send it through the air
until it did alight where it put Winnie
out of sight.
So Winnie had Jim thrown in Jail and
made him hustle round for bail. The
case was tried fore Justice Guy, today,
and as he wiped his eye with agony, his
heart strings stirred at testimony he had
heard. he said:
"Jim's free. This case was spite and
I am going 10 set it right. Jim's six
foot fence should be six higher, sur
mounted we'll with close -barbed wire.
The costs the plaintiff has to pay or lie
in Jail full many a day"
And that's how Winnie came to be
hustling "twenty- two fifty"

AS Banker Albert, of Salem, is not
inclined to divulge his views as to
what financial legislation should be
had, it would not be out of place for
the Salem silver club at its next meet
ing TO invite him to lay his views be-
fore the members of that organization.
AS Mr.. Bryan has said, instead OF talk
ing mysteriously about Sound
Money" and an "Honest Dollar" 1T is
new in order for the advocates of the
gold standard to elaborate their tinan-
cial system. Mr. Albert will find the
members of the silver club Of Salem
composed of intelligent persons, men
and who own property, pay taxes, sup
port the government, and are quite
welll-informed, if the Statesman and
Oregonian do call them hard names.
Mr.. Albert could present his facts and
arguments to the club. They could
be taken down and then examined to
see if they were true, and, if not, they
could reply. That would be more
reasonable and intelligent than call
ing names, Mr.. Albert has said there
should be financial legislation and
now he should say what that should
be. If the Silver club would invite
Banker Albert to address them they
would hear an interesting and profit
able discourse.
