a liar.

THAT the American people are
full of patriotic devotion to their
country, is shown by the perfect
upanimity with which they, re-
gardless of party lines and
party affiliations, are supporting
the administration IN the present
crisis that has come upon the
couDtry; and this, too, in the face
of the fact that the administration
has been, in its aims and in much
that it has done inimical, as o vast
number of the people believe, to
the tIuest and best interest of the
country, and has been conducted
largely in the interests of the
money power of this country and
Europe, But, evils as great as
those placed upon the American
by tho Vicious legislation of the
past thirty years in the interest of
wealth and against the laboring
and producing classes of the coun-
try, as well as all other evils of
lesser Importance, are all laid
aside for the time being, and the
grand patriotism of the American
people asserts itself, and they
step forward, shoulder to shoulder,
in defense Of their country, when
it Is assailed and its flag insulted.
And after the present crisis is past,
and peace is restored, it is fair to
presume, after the great display of
war power and skill made by our
country in the present war, that
the nations of the earth, great and
small, civilized and semi.civilized,
will hesitate long, and consider
possible results with great care,
before inviting the United States
into the field Of combat.

Walter Ferrall and ]. J. De
Vose, two men who have beee pros

The puzzled look on the face OF a

something wrong, but with an attempt

WHY HE DIDN'T BID UP.
The Plight of = Man Who Had Weak

The Plight of . Man Who Had a Weak
q ness for Auction Sales.
There was a red nag out in front OF
a farm house up in the Swift River
region in Oxford the other day when
Burns was driving past the place. He
can never get by an auction sale. There
is something about bargain at vendue
that strikes him just where he lives
so Burns hitched his horse and stopped
on the outskirts of the crowd. He re-
membered that at the last auction he
attended, he bought two pod augers
and an OK yoke, and this time he steel
ed himself lest he might commit sim
liar egregiousness. In fact he conclud-
ed that he would't bid at all
But when the crowd got well walked
up over Jersey heifer, Burns Clipped in
bid or two, and finally got to going
hard against red whiskered man who
carried whip in his left hand and eX-
perforated violently after every bid.
AS the contest waxed somewhat en-
ergetic, Burns reached for his pocket
book. His fingers ran down and down
into his trousers pocket until they slid
into good big hole. The pocketbook
was gone. You, who have found holes
In your pockets where wallets ought to
be, can. in some measure, appreciate
Burns's feelings.
He stopped bidcing, and while the
red-whiskered man, still expectorating,
was paying down al installment on the
heifer, Burns pushad forward through
the crowd and got the auctioneer's ear.
That functionary listened intently.
Then he arose erect once more, and
in his professional drone commenced:
"This gentleman informs me that he
has lost a pockethook containing the
sum Of $780, He offers the sum Of $40
for its return. Now"
"Ill give twenty" broke in voice
in the corner.
Thirty" cried another.
"Thirty-five," came in determined
tones from the administered man.

ford" says Burns, land SO l came away

AN lNCONvENlENT BIRD.
Mis,isssippi Housewives Experience
With n FamIshed Guest.


In the days before the war" fam
lily of hard-working people lived in a
border county of Mississippi. They did
not keep tavern, but they often fed
the wayfarer.
One Saturday the housewife roasted
a large turkey, baked batch Of bread
and made number of pies. She was
re~dy for her Sunday dinner.
That Saturday afternoon a single
horseman appeared. He asked for his
dinner and fed his horse in the ample
stable of the farmer. The housekeep-
er was busy and the man in haste, so
she set the turkey before him, thinking
that he would not make much of an i'm
preston upon it.
The stranger sat down in front Of
the turkey and set to work. He cut
into the breast of one side and ate it
all. His appetite was only whetted.
He demolished the wing and then cut
off the leg. The drumstick disappeared
and the upper joint was stripped. The
woman stood aghas.. She pattered out
to the back porch, where her pies were
cooling, and, selecting a tempting ap-
pie pie, set 1t before her guest. He put
1t to one side and turned the TN
touched side of the turkey toward him.
He cut off the wing and the leg. The
woman saw her Sunday dinner disap-
pear before her eyes.
At length, having exposed all the
bones of the large fowl, he attacked the
pie and left not erumb.
The woman sank in a chair near by.
She was too much overcome for mo-
ment to speak. Then she said:
You seem to have enjoyed the tur-
key. There is not 50 much left as ex-
pected."
The man pushed back his chair, took
out his quill too.hpick, crossed his
knees and sighed with satisfaction.
Then he spoke:
well, madam" said he, "a turkey
is very inconvenient bird"
The woman waited for him to ex-
plain, but he was silent. Then she
said:
why is the turkey inconvenient? 2"

for one and not quite enough for two,"
