The Register mau interviewed some
voters last week, aud they would not
talk anything to him but wheat
That is not strange, for the men he
talked with doubtless thought that,
as the Register is edited by the re,
publican state central committee at
Topeka, it was not reasonable to sup
pose its local representative or IMAM
Friday could talk politics intelli-
gently, and 80 turned the converse
ton to the subject of wheat The
DEMOCRAT editor has talked with
many men, of all political beliefs.
The democrats and populists generally
say that "our vote will be as good or
better than it was in 1885," that there
are men who did not vote in 1897,
who now see the folly of their 'stay-
ing at home," and will be at the polls
on November 9Th to cast their ballots
for the candidates of the people.
Some republicans, of course, "claim
the earth"-they have always done so
whether they had any foundation for
doing 30 or not-for their ticket.
Other republicans. however, realize
that we are all friends and neigbors,
regardless of our political disappoint-
ments, admit that the outlook ia a
gloomy one for Barton county re-
publicans, and that they do not see
much show for their party in the state.
In addition, there are other republi
cans-and you can't count them on a
whole deck full of "hands"-who are
not at all backward in saying that
Jerry Simpson will beat the wind out
of Chester Long. and they are not
sorry for it either.

In the accounts given in tfsse col

in yesterdays clifton, he offered the
only excuse that has been publicly
made in behalf of the distinguished at

which they would not care to repeat

GAVE HERsEIF AWAY

-
The woman mentioned in this little
story, says the Omaha World Herald.
may be called MRS. Naughty, but she
g known in almost every conlmun'it v
by other names. She is inclined to do
all she can to make other people be-
HeVeTShe is somebody, and that she is
fitted for x higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circumstances
TO live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Haughty CALL
ed ON neighbor and accepted an invi-
tation to stay to supper. Mush and
milk was the principal supper dish, and
Mrs. Naughty declared with sundry
calculations that She had never eaten
chat delightful compound. The steam M
Ing platter Of muSh was set i'm the CEN
ter of the table and a bowl of milk
nla ced before MRS. Haughty.
Just help yourself, Mrs. lHaughty,''
replied the hostess.
Really. do not know how to begin y
said Mrs. Naughty, as she picked up
her spoon.
Mrs. Naughty made a move. and one
of the children leaned over to her m TIL
er and whispered:
She said she never ate mush and
milk. but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped 1t into the
muSh."
That little movement gave Mrs.
Haughty away, for every lover of mush
and milk knows that the spoon is first
dipped into the milk 50 the mush will
not stick to it.
