He Got the Mustard.

meal of beef that had been corned by q
bath in salt horse barrel. 1t was quite
a treat. They all thought so until one
of the party remarked, ga little mus

quarter of an hour later he returned

said: "Oh, yes. Here's that mustard. {"
Where did you get it?' said the
others in chorus.

you remember, sounded as we were

DR.. BAGGS, a South County
weather celebrity, and it seems that
the south part of the state produces
quite number of such characters,
predicts as follows for September {:
/" Light rains on or near the Ist, 9TH,
18th, 22d, and 29th. The chief
wind disturbances will occur be-
tween the 10Th and 23d. The tenn
perature through the month will not
be excessively hot or cold. A light
frost may occur about the 29th or
goth" The learned doctor may
know a great deal about the matter,
but his guesses show that he means
to keep on the safe side. He has
scattered his gentle showers along
about a week apart, making them
dodge the agricultural fairs as much
as possible. Naturally, he expects
wind disturbances about the time of
the Equinoctial storm, and likewise
was shrewd in putting down frost for
the end Of the month. On the whole,
DR.. Baggs' predictions remind us of
those found in the "Old Farmers
Almanac" For example, we read in
that we'll known yellow covered litera-
ture: . June 20. Expect showers about
this time. October S. Light frosts. "
The doctor cannot expect to rival
Darius Allen unless he is bolder IN
his guesses. Mr.. Allen made his
reputation on one storm, and lost 1t
on one that did not materlalize. "A
weather gueSser cannot expect to be
a popular hero for long, any more
than base ball player can expect
to ''renew his youth like the eagles. ="

A JOKE ON THE TEAMSTER.
He Roughly Ordered General Sherman to
Brush His Mules.

A good story is told of one of General
Sherman s Missouri teamsters. He had
just joined the service, a raw recruit,
and was assigned the task Of driving a
six mule team. When the army halted
for the first night, he was wearily un-
harnessing his team.
"Hello there" said the wag of the
company in passing. "What do you
mean by taking care of those mules
yourself? Why don't you have the
hostler do it?''
"Why, thought every man had to
take care of his own team," said the
bewildered teamsteE.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got a
hostler for that. There's his tent righ.
over there. He's lazy, contrary old
cuss, and he may not want to do it, but
you swear at him and he'll move off at
double quick"
The Missourian strobe over to the
tent indicated, which happened to be
General Sherman S headquarters.
"Here, you son O., 8 gun," he roared
fercely, "get out OF here and brush
those mules.
Needless to say, the teamster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was as
signed TO the duty Of teaming, probably
by mistake. The roads were muddy,
and the rest of the teamsters were lit
orally bombarding their charges with
Oaths. 1t was against the old mans S
principles TO swear, and he held his
peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last
one of the hind mules balked and re-
fused TO advance a step. The old man
used every endeavor to urge the beast
along, but to no purpose. At last he
roared in a loud and solemn voice:
"Oh, Lord, you know where this mule
ought to be as we'll as anybody. ThiT
whole army knows where he ought to
be this minute. He knows where he
ought to be. I know where he ought to
be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn't move in
a minute I intend to say so, by gum. 1"

EXPORT OF MACHINERY. The United
State consul at Edinburgh, says in
report to the Department Of State:
American made agricultural ma
chinery is widely used on the farms of
Scotland. Most kinds of machinery
for farm purposes, manufactured in
the United States, have long been pre-
ferred by farmers here, on account of
price, quality and design" The man
who twenty years ago would have
predicted that we should be selling
large quantities of farming nipple
nents in any portion of the British
Empire, would have been considered
fit subject for the lunatic asylum.
There is no telling to VIII extent our
trade will grow in tbs next twenty
years, if the wise policy, which has
been feature of tn Republican ma
tional administration shall lie contin-
ued without interruption. Nothing
is likely to stop the expansion of our
foreign commerce in every direction,
owing to the improbability that the
Democrats will be in a position to
saddle any more disastrous tariff ex-
periments on the country for a long
time.

ANSWERING OBJECTIONS. President
Mckinley finds it difficult to repress
smile when some prominent caller
begins to tell him the reasons the
same old reasons that he has heard
thousand times why the United
States should not take the Philip
pines. The President never contra
diets them. On the contrary, he ex-
presses the heartiest agreement with
number Of these reasons. After his
anti expansion callers have exhausted
their reasons and arguments, the Pres
ident usually says something like
this: "Some of your reasons are ex-
cellent, but there is one glazing weak
ness in your position; you do not pro-
vide satisfactory way in which the
Philippines may be disposed of.
Everybody admits that we could not.
with justice, not mention humanity,
turn the islands over to SPAN again;
the natives are in no condition to
maintain an independent government.
Now, if the United States doesn't
take control of them, please give me
your opinion of what ought to be done
with them, bearing in mind that to at
tempt to transfer them to any
European nation, other than Spain,
which is out Of the question, would
almost certainly precipitate great
war" Up to this time none Of the
antiexpansionists have suggested
satisfactory way for US to escape the
responsibility Of Philippine control
and only few of them have made
the at empt.

Washington, Nov, %, 1898.

THE MESSAGE President Mckinley
has about finished his annual mes
sage to Congress- except that portion
dealing with the treaty of peace.
Spain has accepted our terms, and it
is expected that the treaty will be
signed in time to enable the Presi-
dent to get as many of its details as
is deemed expedient to make public
in his message.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1898-12-03

RATIFIoATIoN.- There is no uneasi-
ness in administration circles about
the ratification OF the treaty of peace
by the Senate, although several Re-
publican senators and a number OF
Democratic senators are talking
against ratification. The only thing
that the opposition can do is to delay
ratification by preventing a vote at
the coming session. 1t would be bet
ter, of course, that the treaty should
be promptly ratified. but inasmuch
as we shall have everything in our
own hands, and as there is no inten
ton to govern the newly acquired ter
ritory in any other way than by mill,
tary rule, for at least year, the delay
will make no material difference, even
if it extends to the end of the coming
session of of Congress. The Presi-
dent can easily call an extra session
of the Senate, which will be strongly
republican after the fourth of next
March, to ratify the treaty, and eau
be sure that it will be speedily done.
