The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-05-13

A Louisville man, Prof. Felix Ker-
rick, boasts that he predicted the vol
cauo that destroyed st. Pierre would
erupt within twenty-four hours, and it
did it inside of four. Now will the
professor please explain how he hap
pened to make such mistake; The
volcano erupted exactly twenty hours
before 1t should have done it, And il
the Professor knows so much about
what is going to happen, he ought to
be set up as an oracle and consulted
regularly on all important subjects.
As he evidently knows everything
that is going, the government could
we'll afford to pay him an enormous
salary to simply tell what he knows in
advance. Prof. Kerrick is surely q

Among those who deserve to rank
with Abou Ben Adhem are the peo-
pie who uncomplainingly give up
their yards and pavements to the
Elks for a carnival. 1t makes it
quite inconvenient FOR some Of them,
but the fact that they give up their
own comfort for that OF the people in
general proves that they are good cit
liens.

THE ARGONAUTS-
In the ancient Grecian legends
Is a WOndrOus story told,
How u band of gallant heroes
Went to seek the fleece of gold.
How, upon the good ship Argo.
Half hundred staunch hearts sailed
rearing neither storms nor dangers
mat on sea and land prevailed.
How their leader, brave young Jason;
w it'll fearless heart and arm of might
Obtained at last the golden treasure
His true heritage and right
IT'S a tale the ancient poets
Love to celebrate in song.
lg 5i-llt now, py ton and courage
Long. long ages since have vanished.
But the world viii ne er forget
The lesson drawn from ceaseless striving;
Constant hope is with us yet.
For cen now there is a treasure,
Neither to be bought or sold
Which is, Solomon has told US.
More to be desired than gold.
This. the colder. gift of knowledge.
IS to each a heritage
Who will strive to read the secrets
Written on her ample page"
And so dear friends. in mind and fancy
We have travelled distant lands,
searching hidden gems of wisdom
Ihat Tell on Old Times golden sands.
To classic Heuas first we journeyed
Then sunny France came to our view;
Next, MerTie England's shores we traVersed
And fair ltalia's skies Of blue.
But now has come the summer season.
r ne time to recreate and rest;
10 lay aside all books and studies,
Nor let single care modest.
But ere these pleasant ties are severed,
In some cool, shady. woodland dell,
Mid gentle breeze and waving grasses,
we meet to bid fond farewell
No not farewell The parting words
Should be instead "Auf wiederse hen"
The good old simple German fashion
OI saying TIL we meet again
When summer fades away and autumn
comes with her yellow rtpened gram
All happiness and peace be with US,
BE with us till we meet again.

FARMER QUITS DEMOCRATS.
Lifelong Party-WOrker liz Illinois
Joins the Republicans and
Gives Reasons.

w. L. Bucks, of Galatia, ILL.,, a farmer
and lifelong democrat, and for num-
Der of years prominent as a worker in
the party in Saline county, has severed
his connection with the party and will
hereafter affiliate with the republic
ans. In explanation of this move, says
a special dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, Mr.. Bucks says:
"My reason for severing my connec-
ton with the democratic party is be-
cause as farmer I have noted the diff
ference in prices between democratic
and republican administrations, which.
it seems to me, would convince any
farmer that the republican administra-
ton is far better for him. So long as
the republicans run this government as
they now are, I am with them, first,
last and always.
"There are some of my democratic
friends who will say that the scarcity
of crops the past year raised the price.
This is true as far as it goes, but had it
not been for the republican protective
tariff law the foreign countries would
have supplied this shortage at low
price, and as a matter of fact we would
have had to sell our farm products at
the same figure, no matter how scarce
our crops, and as a consequence we
would have starved. But the tariff law
shuts out foreign competition, and
when our crops are short the prices
rise sufficiently to carry the farmer
over another season. No, sir; no more
democracy for me.''
