MR. EDIroR: The raring association has
suspended operations. But only for n little
while Ii is not defunct. Oh! no, its sleep is
the sumber OF IA sly old opossum. Do not
be deceived old Israel, the 9varicious Philis-
tines will soon be arrayed against you again.
Their leaders have had little chat with
some Of our politicians, and the Philistin"s
have two of the greatest corporations in the
country at their backs, the P, W. 4 B. and
the T. & o. Railroad Companies. And as
money makes the mare 20, you see that the
fleet-iooted jades will soon get move on
again. That is If old Israel doesn't take
advantage Of this feigned sleep which the
foxy Philistines have tumbled into
| But what is the cause of this little doze
into which the Phiistines have gone for a
| little season? Now, see, the two grand old
parties are about to hold their preliminary to
he general election. The politicians havo
advised them to call off the hell until after
the primaries and conventions are held.
Then, said they, we won't have half the
opposition, for they the Israeltes will
think you are really defunct and will relax
their vigilance. Then we will wipe them out.
l tell you the Phistines are not asleep,
neither do they slumber in regard to their
No matter if Samson did knock Il few hun
dred out some time ago with that insisnh-
cant weapon the jaw bone of an ass. And
beside We have no Samson these days OF
racing bells, neither is that particular weapon
much in evidence today for the Philistines
don't run the kind of ''critter" they did in
| former days. OF course the politicians warned
| them to be around on primary day to help
overthrow Israel. And we will get cur !egis-
lative ticket safely in the field. then you wake
, up from this pretended lethargy into which
they think you have fallen and run ont your
season with glorious prospect of an inden-
mite racing hell right here in our midst.
| Now come up to the help OF the Lord and
| old Israel will surely win, and the DEVILS
band Of -iif-ralf ag-tag and bob-tail will be
routed horse-foot aud Dragons. And old
Israel will be left in peace and happiness to
| enjoy the land which is hers 10y right with
out this terrible element to hinder the build

| home And the beautiful orb of day will
! continue to come up in the East and make
her glorious course to the West and there
sink away when the victorious Israelites will
peacefully dream Of the things Of God.
Neither will the four v inds OF Heaven refuse
to ply with the pretty vane yonder on the
dome Of our temple of justice. Now if there
is but one Pharisee vote iound in the box in
| favor Of Israel that ballot will have been east

occasion
That is why five small boys and g. small
girl had more fun than you ca imagine
unless you saw the performance.
The lawn hose was running full tilt, and
one of the boys stood where stray drops
struck his bare feet Suddenly q great
idea dawned upon him He rushed frantic
ally into the house and donned the oldest
waist and the Oldest pair OF '.knickers"
he could find. Then he rushed out and
stood where the stream from the ose
struck him squarely in the breast.
-Four boys and a small girl saw him, and
then there was a rummaging of closets,
hurried consultations with mammas, and
