There is man in our town,
His name is DR.. Morrow:
And if he can't cure all your ills,
Your chances they are narrow.
My wife was sick for many years,
Her life was one OF sorrow;
But 10, the change from woe to Joy,
When she employed DR.. Morrow.
She said she had something
Alive in her stomach but the
Doctors said it was fake;
DR.. Morrow said it was LIZARD or a
snake.
And so he gave her medicine:
1t was very strong you see,
And from her stomach he did take
A black lizard it proved to be.
And now her life it is renewed,
And filled with joy instead of sorrow.
So now she sings from morn till night
The praise of DR.. Morrow

YELLOW JOURNALISM
REBUKED

Yellow journalism received black
eye IN Chicago yesterday when two
of the employees of W. r. Hearst's
Chicago American were sentenced to
imprisonment for contempt of court
Their offence consisted in carlo n
on one OF the judges OF the supreme
court of the state of Illinois. 1t held
the learned judge up to unseemly and
uncalled for ridicule which would
cause his decisions to be received with
contempt.
1t has always been held as matter
of law that person could hold any
opinion Of a Judge, but when their
opinion is made up into an offensive
cartoon then it becomes contempt of
court.
Next time the yellow writer's of Chi
cago FITCH into a man they will con-
slider what office they hold. 1t was
the publication Of just suc1 cartoons
that is thought to be responsible in a
measure for the death OF Pre- sident
Mckinley.

and became so popular that Mr.. Stuart
thought to try his talent in composing

day the following message was sent to
