Oh, Mr. Schey OH Mr.. Schley
The battles you have fit
Don't somehow jbe with history
AS it was lately writ
So we have called court to sit,
And maybe, bye and bye,
Well coax our history to fit
Your battles, Mr.. Schley.
Oh Mr.. Schley oh, Mr.. Schleyi
We've lately heard it said
That when the air shuddering
And guns were belching red;
That in the battle strenuous
In some way it befell

So somehow Mr.. Sampson
And Mr.. Maclay, he
Thinks if you'd acted more polite
Like you were out to tea
Results had been some better
And things would have been right;
If you had not, to catch the zoe,
Turned round in catf fight
You should have sent messenger
Past Santiago's jaws
And asked the Spanish seados
To please come out "Becausel
And should, perhaps, have worded W
Oh, come out to tea -
Come out come out OH please come ""
Come out and play with mel
Then all would have been diheremi
There'd been no blood to spill
And the battles evolutions
Would have moved like quadiihe
If you'd said please permit me
To send you where it's hot
And not been such registering

GLOBE SIGHTS

IFrom the Atchison Globe.1
People in Atchison are hearing His
Side. and Her Side.
Some men are so low that they are
a nuisance even in jail.
The meals are always as good at a
certain AtchisOn home as if they ex-
pected the preacher.
The trouble with hearing both sides
of a story is that 1t involves a double
amount Of gossip
We wish we were rich, 50 that we
could AFFORD to carry a potato around
for our rheumatism
A woman in love is more or less fool
ish, but she never finds it out so long
as the man is good to her.
When a hostess puts her finger be-
tween the pages of her book, and keeps
it there, don't stay longer than i've
minutes.
Our idea Of real recklessness is the
spirit that seems to control the driver
of a grocery delivery wagon on a
Saturday night.
We give up: an Atchison county
farmers wife. who does all her own
work, always puts three or four spoons
at every plate.
We have always heard of ability to
paint a word picture" but never saw
it except in a child that was screaming
under a fogging.
Encourage an worthy people; dis
courage all unworthy ones: this is a.
part of your duty about which there
can be no question
Occasionally you meet a smart fellow
who is making a mistake. and you feel
like saying, 20, well. 80 ahead, and find

north this summer, w. A Jackson

1T is the observation Of an Atchison
woman that when a woman chases a
young boy or an old man, he is liable
to be caught; it is the man with all
his faculties about him who gets away.
An Atchison widow sends in the fol-
lowing cards of thanks- Il wish to
thank my many friends who have been
telling me that it was time I left off
my mourning. I have waited for this
courtesy for some time, and owe it to
their urging that I can now wear

MIL HOLD OYER.
Mort Albaugh's Opinion About coun-
~ Committees.


The question raised by the county
committee OF Graham county as to
whether county committees hold over
another year IS expected to settle itself.
Party leaders are inclined to let the
old committees hold over and that viii
probably be done unless in places
where some local graft is to be worked.
When asked today what would be the
effect of the biennial election law upon
the present county organizations, Chair
man Albaugh OF the Republican state
committee said. that as far as he was
advised, in all counties where no coun-
ty printer or members of the board OF
high school trustees were to be chosen.
that the present county committees
would remain as they are.
He said further That there is no
law, governing party organization in
Kansas. It has been the rule to choose
ward and precinct mitteemen at
the primaries held to select delegates to
the county convention that dominates
the county ticket. There being no coun-
ty tickets to nominate this year, very
naturally no such primaries viii be
held and the old organizations will hold
over OF course, If a county committee
should issue a call for the election OF
precinct committeeman at a stated time
and such an election should occur a
created, but as the present organiza-
uonts are in good working condition and
in almost all the counties in the state,
no election is to be held, except for
commissioner and township officers,
such a. course would not seem to be adj
visable. Where a county primary con-
vention must be held the committee
is no more advisable than in the other
instances -

NO CAUSE FOR UNEAsrNEss.

TFrom Clews' Financial Review1
The country has passed through the
shock Of President McKfnley's assassi-
nation with a wonderful degree of com
posure- In both political and business
circles the blow has been met with an
exhibition of fortitude that reflects the
highest credit upon the American peo-
pie. We are so accustomed to out
bursts Of feeling and passion on occa-
sions of much less seriousness than the
atrocious murder of our late beloved
president that could the event have
been even partially expected the dire
predictions Of panic mongers might
easily have been realized. But in poll
tics and in business the assassin 3
crime caused only a ripple.
While the nation has been profound
~ stirred with horror at the awful
deed with grief at the loss Of a de-
voted president. and with sympathy for
his invalid wife, still the machinery OF
government commerce and industry
almost instantly recovered from the
terrible shock and quietly continued on
its usual course. Sad as the event has
been. President Mckinley's martyrdOnl
has proved and strengthened the sOli-
uarity OF the American people 1t has
reused and brought together the con-
servative forces of the country which
too often lie dormant in time of public
dangers it has softened political ami
mositiess and II has shown the folly OF
that weak liberation which permits the
unlimited abuse of liberty. These are
only a few of the lessons which our
calamity has taught; but they are Of
great value and should strengthen con-
fidence in the future of the American
nation. as well as the capacity of our
people for elf-gOvernment nOtwith-
standing our eccentricities of temper
When deeply stirred we generally
come TO sound conclusions. Tt is in
times OF ease and prosperity that we
are most Indifferent to danger. Per-
haps nothing has contributed more
towards the preservation of confidence
than President Roosevelt's frank and
positive statement that he would faith
fully continue the policy of Mr.. McKin-
ley This was rare good sense. Our
new president has been before the pub
lie gaze for the last few years almost
as prominently as Mr.. Mckinley HIM
self His strong and weak points were
we'll known 70 everyone No one doubt
ed his great courage and integrity; and
no one can now doubt that he fully re-
allies his grave responsibilities There
IS every reason to believe that Presi-
dent Roosevelt viii satisfactorily fill
his great office. and that the admins
tratiOn viii work with him on the same
high plane as under his nlustriOus pre-
decessor.

BOY IS SCALPED.
Frightful Elevator Accident to
Samuel FaIley.

In an elevator accident at the new
Parkhurst-Davis wholesale store at
First and Kansas avenue Tuesday at
2 o'clock, Samuel F'alley, aged 16 years,
sustained almost fatal injuries His
scalp was cut distance Of over II
inches and was drawn back over his
head, laying the skull bare.
Falley was standing on the first floor
of the building when the accident oc-
CURED. He wanted to call some one
in the basement and climbed on the
gate of the elevator shaft, to lean over,
the better to speak to the man in the
basement. The gate is picket gate
and the boys head rested between two
pickets. Ell was unaware that the
elevator was descending and before he
could be appraised of the fact he was
caught. The sharp edge of the bottom
of the elevator caught him on the right
side of his head and above the ear 1t
cut a cash nearly 13 inches long around
his head. ripping off the scalp.
0. J. Kautz. foreman of the tinWare
department on the third floor of the
building, happened to be looking down
the shaft at about the time the elevator
reached the boy and reached for the
ropes to reverse the elevator. He was too
late to avert the accident, but if the ele-
vator had not been reversed and start
ed upward again, the boys death would
have been certain. The elevator is I'M
usually large and powerful and would
have dragged his head from his body,
or pulled him entirely overheard.
The boy was taken TO DR.. J. p. Lewis
Office where about forty stitches We're
taken in his scalp The time required
was nearly two hours and a half
The boy nearly died from exhaustion
caused from loss of blood before he
could reach the doctors Office.
His home is in the country but he is
living with his brother-in-law, Jesse
CoWell, in ShOrey.
