Sorghum keg AHegoTy.
An Old Heirloom From
Thomas Jefferson.
THE PEOPLES HoGsHEAo
From the Peoples Advocate.

From the Peoples Advocate.
In the year of our Lord, 1892,
Thomas Jefferson built a sorghum
keg, He made it of the straightest
grained white oak and bound 1t with
the best of white oak hoops. 1t was
built after the latest improved pat
terms and the workmanship was good,
Altogether it was a model key for
that day and generation, of which
Mr.. Jefferson and the democratic
family were justly proud. This keg
was handed down from generation
to generation as a sort Of family
heirloom in the Jeffersonian family,
and jealously was it guarded from
the ravages Of time, but old Father
lime could not be defeated. Grad
ually the old sorghum key yielded
to decay, and it was repaired some
times with white elm head, some
times knotty scrub oak stave. or
dogwood hoop until it had been
wholly made over, and presented
quite distorted appearance; but it
was still the same old "Jeffersonian
democratic sorghum keg.n In the
year 1928 the Jeffersonian demo-
cratic family thought it best to over
haul the old keg as it was leaking
badly, 50 they frightened it ell UP
and bound it with new hoops made
from the very best Of sold Hickory"
found in the state Of Tennessee at,
ter which the old key presented
quite respectable appearance. The
Jeffersonian democratic family final
ly became too aesthetic to use sor-
ghum any longer, 50 they turned
the old sorghum keg into a bourbon
whiskey keg, but still it was the same
old Jeffersonian key, although it had
been made over several times since
Thomas Jefferson's time, and did
not contain single spl inter OF the
original white oak.
In 1893 Grover Cleveland and
John G. Carlisle, who claimed to be
lineal descendants of Thomas Jeffer-
son were afraid the old bourbon key
would fall to slaves, SO they knocked
the bung out, drank all the bourbon,
got o. big drunk and kicked the
old keg out behind the house where
it was used as a receptacle for rub
bish. One day a servant mtied some
hot ashes into the old keg and it
took fire and every splinter Of it was
burned up. Nothing was left of the
old relic, save and except the bung-
hole. Great indeed was the anguish
of the democrats when they learned
that the old Jeffersonian keg was
destroyed, but they were somewhat
consoled to know that the bunghole
had been saved, fer if they had not
all drunk from the bunghole, they
all expected to. The democrats rev
erently gathered the old bunghole
up and wrapped it in napkin.
The peoples party have built q
new hogshead after the latest i'm
proved pattern, of the very best ma
terial to be had, strong aud ample
large enough to hold more than th'
democratic keg and the republican
'barrel" combined; bound together
with the hoops of honesty and filIec
with the nectar of good government
of which all are invited to partake
The democrats are now trying to in
sert their old Jeffersonlan bunghol'
Ito the peoples party hogshead; Blu
gentlemen, we DON'T want your an
tiquated hunghole, as a populis
plug will not fit it and all our goot
government nectar would be wasted

the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from q lack Of
lime in the system. Persons who hab-

may enjoy immunity from certain Of

others perhaps quite as much to be
