The turkey and the eagle;

The turkey, too. can, fly. but he

The fox. he's safe, and slumbers
All undisturbed by any woe
That mortal dreaming cumbers;
By day. in orchard wandering.
He humbly seeks his living;
Unconscious of the joy he'll bring
To gourmands on Thanksgiving.
And while the eagle. piniou borne,
Doth ceave the vaulted azure.
He -gobbles up the golden corn
And gobbles forth his pleasure,
And daily adding to his girth.
r For man his chief attraction.
So fills. this bird of solid worth.
His role with satisfaction.

The eagle first in favor
As emblem of the nations aim,
The turkey for his flavor.
But while the eagles chief renown
Lies in his life. winner.
The turkeys still when dead and brown,

"Ort. West, few years ago. while

sympathy, so far as sympathy can be
extended by mere words, was very
amusing and showed that the fellow
was quick-witted and. unusually bright.
despite the fact that he had fallen
into rather rough road.
THE young man had been out West
for some time. He. had gone out there
with the idea that he could win for

to success a smooth one, 1T was rather
rough and rocky, marred by thorps
to prick the feet, pitfalls and all that
kind of thing. Put in plain, unpoetic
language he was run down at the heel

be the proper thing to do to offer a
little sympathy.

MARRIAGE AND LONG LIFE.
People Joined in Matrimony Live
Longer Than Those Single.

Scientific research justifies the rule,
Marry and live to ripe old age" AT
ter d long experience with mortality
tables Frederick l.. Hoffman, writer
upon insurance subjects, demonstrates
the influence of marriage on longevity
Interesting figures show that the NOR
tality of married males has been con-
siderably below the mortality OF sin
gle males at all ages, the difference
being most noticeable between the
age periods of forty-five and sixty
four years. Between those ages.
roughly speaking, three single men die
to two married ones. The rate of fe-
males gives a result favorable to mar
ried women Although their death
rate is greater than that of single
women in the period between fifteen
and forty-four years, after that period
the proportions are reversed in favor
of married women.
In both sexes below the age OF forty
the deaths among married. persons,
due TO certain specific causes, are
slightly in excess of deaths among
single persons. The causes are can
Ger. tumor. nervous diseases, circula-
tory. digestive and urinary diseases.
But deaths from consumption among
single persons are OVERWHELMINGLY
greater than those among the married
Above the age of forty-five the NOR
tality of the married in both sexes,
from all causes, is much less than that
of single people. Mr.. Hoffman unhes-
itatingly concludes that marriage
makes for long life. Undoubtedly
many factors other than the fact of
marriage contribute to decide the ques-
tion of longevity. The questions OF
regular living and settled habit must
be considered as well as that of the
human being fulfilling his natural des-
tiny and following natural laws.-St.

RULE WORKED BOTH WAYS
And If Anything, the Darky. Had the
Best of 1t.

At country fair free for all horse
show was organized Among the ear
ly entries was a small beast. ridden
by a voluble Individual, who pulled
from his pocket a long document and
commenced to entertain the crowd by
reading the pedigree of his steed. He
was the center of attraction unit, a
colored man rode in. mounted upon a
splendid black-large, glossy and
symmetrical.
Without waiting for an invitation
from the rider the crowd soon gath
cred about the beautiful horse and
many questions were asked. which the
negro modestly answered. Soon tAe
white man and his diminutive quad
ruped were left practically by them
selves. and the rider found himself
smarting from wounded pride. He
watched the new arrival for short
time, and then rode over.
Where is your horses pedigree?''
he roared.
Il dunno. boss; l reckon he tain't
got none. He's des plain hoss."
"Oh. well, darn a horse without a
pedigree." shouted the disgruntled
white man, and he swung the precious
record of his own animal over his
head, proclaiming what it was and
how long it was. Then he started to
ride away. The negro looked at the
little beast over. his shoulder, rolled
his eyes and retorted. Yes, darn a
hoss without pedigree. is it? Well.

Republican Party Issue.

The republican slogan from now on
and throughout the campaign of next
year will be stand pat on the DINGHY
bill, that policy having been adopted
at a fully attended cabinet meeting
shortly before the president left Wash
ingtOn. The whole question OF tariff
revision was fully discussed and it was
decided that any attempt to revise
the tariff before the long session Of the
Fifty-ninth congress would be suicidal
TO the party attempting it. 1ntiuen-
tial members of congress have convinc-
ed the president that his idea of u
commission to recommend tariff
changes would prove wholly impracti-
cal and that the prosperity OF the ma
tion depends on the continuance Of
the present tariff undisturbcd by agi-
