An old man who makes a visit to Pros

and began to chlrp. Pretty soon no

had a feast. This thing has been going
on ever since
When first saw him he had only been

The republicans have called a
m 'eting for Monday night to take
action with reference to the COM
ing city election. We have no
means Of knowing what action is
in contemplation, but if the repub-
licans propose to run o straight
party ticket, and to draw party
lines, the Daily Chieftain is ready
to announce that if the city is to be
controlled exclusively by either
political party the democratic party
is preferable, and we believe the
town is safely democratic.

JOHN HELPED HIM OUT.
But He Had to Get Beyond Earshot
So John Could Turn Him
self Loose.

Some 50years ago there lived in north
ern Virginia a spirited old gentleman
by the name of Col. Carter, whose ha-
bitual profanity made him notorious
throughout the neighborhood. Plead
ings and expostulations were equally
vain to break him, and his friends at
last hopelessly gave him up as one to
whom swearing had become a second
nature. In the course Of time, however.
the Methodists held a revival in the
neighborhood, and much to the surprise
OF everyone, Col. Carter became con
verted of his sin, and made profession
of religion.
The next morning. in the woodshed,
he interviewed his negro teamster TO
the effect that there was to be no more
swearing, not even at the horses. The
teamster, who. was about as much ad-
dicted to the habit as his master. was at
first incredulous and thought the mat
ter huge joke, but finding the colonel
10 be in earnest, he promised TO 90 his

\ week later the colonel and his team
ster started out for Alexandria with an |
extra heavy load Of wheat. The team
ster guided the horses over the rough |
and hilly road while the colonel rode
alongside on horseback. All went along
smoothly at first, and the colonel had
begun 10 eloquently expound the
beauty Of chaste language when they
struck a steep hill and the horses
stalled.

the colonel; ''just speak TO them gen

But the team refused TO bulge. Coax

Chas. Curtis has defeated Bailey
Cy Leland's candidate for the con-
gressional nomination in the first
Kansas district. Curtis was res
cued from oblivion by getting an
Indian Territory bill christened
for him, when in reality it was
drawn BY Judge Springer and the
Dawes commission. The Curtis
bill is not a document to be proud
Of. however, as it contains more
incongruelies and absurdities than
perhaps any other measure passed
BY congress within a decade. The
strongest and best feature in the
Curtis Law is that il is impossible
Of enforcement.
