OUR WAR WITH SPAIN.

Yes, brother we have lately had
A little affair with Spain
To help the struggling Cubans
And to avenge the sunken Maine.
First, we captured the Philippine Islands
Then took Porto Rico, too,
Then the outlook for the Spaniards
Became most intensely blue.
Then we tackled him off the Cuban coast
And we sunk all of his little toys,
We bombarded, we routed him,
And we made fearful noise.
We chased him DER Cuban tobacco fields,
Till finally we uptripped him,
Then Uncle Sammy jumped him,
And, my gracious, how he whipped
him.
Yes, he wolloped him around in the dust,
And he rolled him in the sand,
Then helped him up and brushed him off
Then he took him by the hand.
We hired ships and conveyed him home,
To his own beloved Spain,
With warning not to try it
With his Uncle Sam again.
Then, i'll a spirit of generosity,
AS recompense for his licking
Thrust twenty millions in his pocket
To prevent his future kicking.
Thus to even things up all around
The honors all came to us,
While the profits came the Spaniard's
way
III this insignificant little muss.

AN ESSAY ON DIARIES.
Little Johnny Tells What He Knows

or Them.
A diary is a note book in which PEG.
pie write down things they're sorry
for few years afterward. The only
persons | ever knew to keep diaries a
whole year were the stationers, who
got stuck on them.
Schoolgirls are great on keeping
diaries. [ got hold of sisters one day
when she wasn't looking and | don't
know which made me sicker-the
stuff she wrote or the licking she gave
me for reading it, There wasn't much
in it, anyhow, except an account of the
weather and the number of times the
young man who calls on her kissed
her. George asked her one night to
lethimseeher diary, but she wouldn't,
because the first part of it was all about
Charley, the Teller what used to call
on her.
Ma used to keep a diary until dad
got hold of it and tore it up. III never
forget the row there was in the house
that time. Dad said ma made mis-
take in writing down the number of
nights he came home drunk. But ma
proved it and then dad went and took
the pledge. He kept it about as long
as ma kept the diary.-N. Y. World.

Good Winter Butter.

When the milk has been strained
heat it till it crinkles on top, then
place where it is cool, but will not
freeze. When enough for churning
skim it and place the cream pot bv
the stove or other warm place to
ripen. Churn with q temperature of
81 degrees. If the quantity of milk
is small, it is better to churn all the
milk than to keep il over three days,
as the butter and buttermiIk will be-
bitter If the milk is too old. That the
butter is good is shown by the fact
that our customers take it in prefer
euce to creamery butter at the same
price. These suggestions are given
for those farmers wives who do not
have scientific appliances.

The rilnor Tel Per Says Things
Around Harriet, are Far from
Right teous.
The following extracts taken from
'the Minor Teller Indicates that there
ID a bad state of a fairs near the town
Harlem in sa' gent county. This
matter is all entir ply new to the Re-
publican. We h i've never heard of
anything wrong II that particular To-
cality. V the officials of that county
have any bets they should get in
their action These 5hings look bad
when tried ih6be newspapers in gen.
eral terms. E4the matter come into
court aud be held, The Teller says
referring to thSdeath of G. E.
Smedes of Harle. who recently
committed suieide: u
"There is little doubtin the minds
of those who have been fgmiliar with
Mr. Smedes' euvironmentA that he
was cruelty bounded to death by un-
scrupulous edemies of Harlan and
vicinity, theyi having become sdeh by
reason of his refusal to overlook or
cover up certain acts of rottenasss.
which have oe oecurred in that lonely
burg of late, years. We have no
wish to be sensational or to do any
one an injustice, but the knocking
out of the foundation of the elevator
of which Mr.. Smedes was agent, the
writing of letters derogatory to his
good name, and other acts we're all
part of persistent course of perse<
cution. He was unfortunately man
of sensitive disposition. and the re
suit was he took his own life in ajmo-
ment of frenzy"
The Teller; further says:
Recently . petition was received
! by the board;of county commisai Jon
ers from Harlem township, contafX
ing the names of true and worthy
citizens. asking that certain offenders
be prosecuted. We do not publish
their names, having been asked not
to do so, as it seems that an honest
man in that township is in danger OF
having his life taken. 1t seems
strange, however, that there should
be single precinct in the county
where skullduggery and crime reigns
paramount. We have consistently y
maintained that the laws are made tc
be enforced and that the rules OF
morality and common decency
should be observed. We understand
/. that Knute Intelhouse, county com
missioner for the Third district, re-
r Gently visited Harlem, and was
threatened with disaster if he per-
sisted in exposing crime"
The Teller also has an editorial on
the sabject in which it gives publicity
to the following:
''We are aware that it is dangerous
to incur the enmity of bad men, the
Teller man has even been threatened
with dire calamity, but to those who
threaten we say; proceed with you1
crucifying. We will try to be or
hand when the bear is killed. In the
: meantime LET all men sign a petition
for grand jury. In order that al
who run may read and that there be
no injustice ip the matter or misun'
derstanding in the premises we de
sire to add that this is not criticism
of Harlem township. That township
as we'll as sneighboring townships
contain many worthy and esteemed
citizens, but there appear to be few
bullies in that vicinity who terrorize
all who allow themselves to be ter
rorized, and ,;law and order fails
There should be stop put to such
terrorizing."

SAYS IL SHOT oHENEYs.
A Crank Naaaed George Dard's Causes Any
Amount Is Excitement in Racine.


Racine had its regular daily sensa-
ton yesterday morning when man
named George Dardis walked into
Snyder's saloon and in the presence of
large number of people declared that
he was the man who attempted to kill
the Cheneys last Wednesday. The
police were at once called and the
fellow was hurried to the county jail.
He is still icing held pending an in
vestigation. Dardis claims to be a
Roman Catholic and says that he shot
the Rev. cheney on account of the
fact that ne was the most influential
member. oil the A. P. A. in the state.
While the voluntary confession of
Dardis has caused a great deal of ex-
element in Racine the officers this
morning state that there is no truth in
the story told by the fellow.
They regard him as a crank who is
trying to break into Jail for the winter.
Dardis is about 80 years of age but he
does not in any way answer the des-
cription of the man who entered the
Cheney home. He claims to pc a resi-
dent of Racine but he is not known to
any of the police officers. The officers
are investigating the case and the man
will be held.
