planted and farmers are now hard
at work getting in the balence.
Wheat looks extra well and oats
are coming as thick az hair on a

FROM "TEDDY."

Phil Bulger learned that Presi'
dent Roosevelt is a great admirer
of the green and so he sent him a
poem. The poem wac composed by
Bulger and was recited by him al
Scammon on St. Patrick's day. The
poem and the presidents reply fol-
low:
ST. PATRIcK'S DAY AT SCAMMON
BY Phillip Bulger.
From where the Boyne and Shannon flows
On whose green banks the Shamrock grows
From that fair land of vale and hill
To meet with friends at Scammonville>
And here relate those scenes so grand
So full of fame in that old land,
When Brian Barhue on Taras plain
With saber bright endorsed the Dane.
Here from the land they loved so we'll
Whose gallant Sires for freedom fell.
Here from the gem that decks the sea
To this great land so grand and free.
And from the homes they should enjoy
Like that brigade at Fontenoy,
And here revere their fathers God
And he who blest Old Erins sod.
And drove from out the shady nook
Investing then the field and brook,
The serpent and the insect vile
Like those which now invest the Nile.
I've heard of some who criticize
This story of the snakes and flies.
But who of them can understand
Why snakes are found in every land.
Except beneath the azure sky
Where Patrick blessed and Erin lie.
In olden times the book doeth say
The voice of man did God obey.
When Joshua babe the sun stand still
and Elijah checked the Jordan's rill
The Red sea yields to Moses wand
And Mamma fed that Hebrew band.
The serpent too obeyed that God
In fleeing from old Erins Sod.

The entire home was hospitably thrown open and decorated with exceedingly good taste i'll roses and other cut flowers The scene was one of beauty and brilliance, so handsome were many of the toilets that adorned natural comeliness.
 The chief diversion was cards, the game being six handed euchre and a sufficient number of the company taking part to fill out six tables. The guests were assigned to the several tables through the drawing of colors and the partners first secured, re- mained so for the afternoon. Upon each table were chocolates and salted peanuts, that met with continuous favor and attention.
 The refreshments served by Misses Lula Empie, Fannie Wolf and Mrs. L. Hirsch, consisting of brick cream and assorted cake, coffee and chocolate, were both dainty and delicious.

Democrats regard it rs the only pos
sible issue in the next campaign. As
drowning men grasp at straws, they
are reaching out for everything that

are making is that goods can be sold
cheaper in Europe, and are sold cheap

may be false, but whichever il is, it
does not alter the fact that the tariff is
designed principally to protect Ameri-
can industries and workingmen and
prevent European goods from being
imported and sold in competition.
Without tariff these goods would be
sold at such price that the manufac-
turer could not compete successfully
without reducing the wages Of the
men who work for him. Bat what
ever the causes and effects, the de-
fects in the tariff law, il defects there
be, will be remedied by the Repub-

cations must come from the friends of

TO CHANGE HOURS
Police May Work From Noon Until
Midnight.
Would Result in An Equal Division Of
the Forces.

Chief Of Police James Collins, when
he assumes charge of the police Friday
will recommend some important
changes. The board Of police commits.
sioners will probably hold meeting
one night this week, and decide on
some OF these changes.
1t was always theory Of Chief Col
Inns that the hours Of duty of the Pa
ducah police were improperly appor-
toned. At present there is practically
no police protection in the outlying
districts from until 2 or 8 O'Clock in
the morning, as the night officers go
off duty about 4, and with the excep-
ton Of two officers In the business
portion the day officers do not go on
duty until or O'Clock. The present
plan is to have the officers work from
l2 o'clock until i2 O'Clock, dividing
the two forces equally. There are at
present, including Captain Bailey and
Lieutenant Moore, 10 night officers
and 10 day officers When Marshal
Collins becomes chief, there will be
nine day officers and ~ night officers,
total Of 2s.
The present plan is to have IA work
from noon until midnight, and four
teen from midnight until noon the
next day, having . part Of the force
constantly on duty. This plan was
always a pet one with Captain Henry
Bailey, also, but heretofore no effort
has ever been made TO carry it out.

OUT OF DANGER
Hop Little Comes Near Dying From
Morphine Poisoning.
He Took Seven Grains Yesterday ia
See What IL Would Do to Him.

Hardy Little, better known Is
Hop" the former circus clown, and
now an auctioneer. came near shuffl-
ing of this mortal coil yesterday. He
took seven grains Of morphine about s
o'clock, went TO his home near Third
and Madison and became unconscious.
Drs. Robertson and Hoyer were
Summoned, and after working with
him about half day, assisted by Dr..
Ed Young, succeeded in saving his
life, despite the fact that he tried to
fight them of.
Hop, it is understood, says he took
the drug through curiosity. He want
ed TO see what 1t did to q person,
and the only mistake he made was,
he took too much.
A few years ago Hop performed q
similar experiment with aoonite, and
was pulled through after much sick
ness on his part and much trouble on
part Of the doctor.
He is feeling better today. and is
probably satisfied with what intelli-
genee he obtained relative to the &C.
tion Of morphine when taken in alb
normal doses. He says that next time
he experiments he will hide so the
doctors can't find him.
