Those Democrats who are trying TO
foist the machine made gang back on
to the people can see good reflection
of themselves in the following editori-
al in the Chattanooga Times, Demo
cratic paper: General Buckner has
challenged the coarse and vituperative
abuse of Democrats of the Goebel
brand in Kentucky by his powerful
arrsignment of the degeneracy of Dem
ocratic leadership il that state, but,
he, at the same time, wins and holds
the esteem of patriotic American citi-
zens who hold country above mere par
tisan politics, and who believe in hon
esty and fairness in elections. The
campaign in Kentucky is for principle
against the most arrogant gang of pes
tiferous machine manipulators that
ever threatened the peace, dignity and
good order Of people. 1t Is a con-
test, not between the forces of decen-
cy. law and order and the myrmidons
of Iapacious. thoroughly corrupt
and totally discredited factional ma
chine. "

Mrs. Nanny, the goat. and her little son.
Ktddie, were out walking one day and Mrs.
Nanny was telling him all about the coun-
try she came from. 1t was a land of very
green fields and the tenderest, juiciest
grass.

nibble the leaves from low bush, ito eat

black nose against her milk bag, began

at each teat. she looked down the hill to
the river and thought of the many happy
years she had passed since she landed In
New York. They had all been pleasant
until the last.
After Riddle had finished. she sat up on
her hind legs, a very unusual thing for
goat to do and the youngster doing the
same. both looked down on New York for
some time in silence.

One of NV Pets.

About month ago little boy gave me
a young hooking bird that had fallen out
of its nest and hurt itself. 1t had very few
feathers. was too young to fly. and really
did not know how to eat. I was very anx-
1ous to keep it and raise it, but hardly
knew how. l mixed some corn meal and
water together, and fed it drop by drop off
the end of the spoon. This was great deal
little mouth open crying for food all the
time. But it grew very fast, and after
week was covered with feathers, could eat
by itself, and followed me like a pet dog.
1t could fly up to my shoulder q am only
little GRID. and wanted to be perched on
my finger all the time. We called him
Chirp, because he did nothing but chirp,
and he soon answered to his name. We
had no cage, but our porch was covered
with screen wire, and Chrp had plenty
room. We would take him into the yard to
ed to, but he was always glad to get back
to the porch. When children went Oft
and left him he would fly up and catch on
the window screen of our room. and quarrel
as we'll as he could until we came back.
He would follow us all over the porch. and
we had to be very careful not to step on
him, but one day clumsy man came up on
the porch. and the poor little fellow must
have walked up to him, and before we could
rescue him the man had stepped him.
He was hurt so badly that. although we
did everything to save him. he died in
few minutes. The whole family missed
him. We put his body in little box and
buried him In the garden. We kept fresh
flowers on his grave until few days ago,
when we left for the city. 1 am sure the
flowers are withered now.
