IN MEMORY OF TIE BIG HUNT.
BY ''rHE OWL

BY "THE OWL"
Twas in December, 'ss,
This eventful hunt took place,
A score and moro of boys went out
Wild game to kiIl and chase.
Through briars and brush that gloomy
day,
Each wandered with bis gun
Till late at eve-some had success
And some went home with nom
OF all the reckless, careless shooting
That day would beat them all,
And one young chap, 30 he claims,
Took a white man for an owl.
Behind 3 hedge-his story goes
This cunning owl he spied;
He took q shot, but missed his mark,
And swiftly of did glide.
But there's q mystery we can't see
When coming back to taw,
But this young man would like to be
This boot owls brother-in-law.
We seek no claim on this young man
With the "Christmas turkey snout,"
Bat cur gratitude we owe to pa
For settin' that hedge fence out.
And this Il the sequel to our tale
As sure - the owl can boot,
When you are without your gun
Be careful how you shoot.

THERE is q difference between i'm
perialism and progress. Along this
line the Linneus (Mo.) Bulletin, one
Of Missouri's strongest and most loyal
Democratic papers, says:
There Is no question that the great
domain lying west of the Mississippi,
acquired under Democratic auspices,
lie in far better condition than It would
have been IL left in the hands Of alien
powers. And we believe that ten
years at most win show similar results
in our new colonies If they are prop
erly taken care of with their welfare,
as well as oIfs, In view.
No Democrat wants this country to
adopt q policy Of imperialism, but we
believe all Democrats are favorable
10 progression. Since colonies have
come TO us In a perfectly natural and
legitimate manner, the United States,
under Providence, should o that
they are justly governed. By no
means should they be flung back
into the lap Of despots OF into a state
Of helpless anarchy. II the consent
of the governed must be had-and II
should be had-we have now the con-
sent OF the people Of Porto Rico and
of Cuba, and the Elipinos are rapidly
coming into line. As far rs Hawaii ID
concerned, her consent has been
evident for years.

ch,ld,s Health

depends almost wholly on the moth.
er's, not only before its birth but af-
forwards. A sick mother can't prep
erly cart for her child's health. A
sick mother sometimes bears 8 healthy
child, but ii isn't to be expected.
Maybe the baby will possess the APP
pearance OF health, but win lack
stamina. Maybe innate weakness
win develop In after years. Every
woman should be particularly careful
Of her health during the period Of
gestatlon-when the child is really a
part of herself. During all this tine,
she should keep her body strong and
pure and she should take proper pre-
cautions against her time Of labor.
For this purpose DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is prescribed. II has
been used in thousands of cases with
the most gratifying results. 1t is g
tonic to the whole body, but particu-
larry to the organs distinctly feminine.

"rhe voters have about made up

aThere must be no quibbling about
