Huffaker Bros, who have been en-
gagged in the cattle business on the
Wilcox ranch for the past three
years skipped out several weeks ago
with 154 head of cattle belonging to
Mr.. West. They shipped the cattle
from Brownell week ago last Mon
day and had them billed to Kansas

nut and sold to three commission

they liked out for new fields to ply

to this kind of Il trick as they each
had several thousand dollars in their

the temptation was too great and,
thinking they could get away with
several thousand apiece more, took
the law into their own hands and are
now at large. The Pinkertons have

with a steam engine. 'Twont do to let
the water get too low. and you've got to

That just as sure as Mack got into the

would become foreclosed at auction, the
right of way given over to foreign ma
tions and the inhabitants Of the terri
tory along the route would become pau
pers.
But,
Four years have passed away and the
old engine Is still doing biz. They've
heightened out her boiler some and hitch
ed on several new coaches. The eagle
still sits on the cowcatcher and has both
eyes peeled for distractions. There was
a foreign critter got on the track once,
but the eagle screeched and Mack, he
turned on fifty million dollars Of extra
steam. They didn't hold any post-mor-
TEN because the foreigner was so cut up
and scattered they couldn't find the re-

eigner, however, did undertake to cross
the track, there have been several impor-
tant branches added to the road.

BRYAN'S LITTLE BOY
ASKS SOME QUESTIONS.
A ColIoquy that Ended in Talk About
the "GOblius."

Mr.. Bryan, the handsome Democratic
candidate, was on the Lincoln train to-
day. A bright little boy. his son George,
sat by the candidate and was asking
childish questions.
Papa" he said, what did the Hun
garian miners out in Colorado mean
when they shook flags marked 16 to l
in Roosevelt's face?"
''Why, my son." said Bryan, as he
beamed on his boy with loving smile,
why, the miners meant that they want
ed our money to be 16 to l. That is,
they wanted it so that 16 ounces Of sill
yer would be one ounce of gold"
But, papa, 16 ounces of our coined
silver will buy one ounce of gold now,
won't It'll" asked George, opening his
eyes wide.
Eyes, my son. Congress did pass a
law making that ratio. Sixteen ounces
of our coined silver will buy one ounce
Of coined gold now"
Then, papa" said George thoughtful
ly, 'if gold and silver are now 16 to /
by act Of Congress, what more do they
want? What do they keep yelling for
'16 to l. forT'
well. my son." said Bryan thought
fully, "16 to L is all right for the farm
er, mechanic and business man, but the
miner wants more for his silver. He
wants to sell his 16 ounces of uncoined
silver, which is really worth in the mar

Walking around in idleness.
Wherever the flags assailed;
Meeting the foe with an idle might
That never yet has failed.

Capron--the list is long
Went to their death In "idleness."
And their "idleness" was wrong.
Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
Why should we call the roll?
They idled away In the idle fight
In fights that tried the soul.
"Walking around in idleness"-
Drawing the leaden bail;
What OF the glow Of q nations pridef
Is that but an idle talef
walking around 10 idieness."
Over the Pekin road:
Scorched and worn by the CALLING sun,
Lugging an idle load.
Fighting with idle energy.
Cheering with idle breath
Thinking, with idle love, Of home,
And dying an idle death.

Gone to home above;
And idle tears mark the idle woe
And the idle mothers love.

hustling around for job, you'd rather
get one if you could, on farm, in a

be more likely to pan out, to be a steady
