BILL DOOLEYS LETTER.


thing to say about w. j. Bryan. Well, |
If it don't seem funny that some men
arc always behind time. My under
standing has been that w. j. Bryan dug
his own political grave about four years
ago, and that be was political corpse
for four years at least Now, IL does
seem funny that they don't bury him.
Everything is in readiness for the Oc- !
casion, and If they don't either bury or
embalm him before warm weather he
will raise an offensive political odor
that will cause the man in the moon to
to have to hold his nose and gasp for
fresh air. was in Tracy City today and
heard man say that flour barrel will
hold six thousand silver dollars. This
in all probability will be sufficient
warning for people to preserve their old
barrels for they will need them when
w. j. b. gets to be president and makes
it rain silver as long as it rained water
in Noah's time.
Poor Bryan, we are sorry for him as
there has always been something the
matter with him and his doctor never
could find the root of his trouble. He
was slightly crippled in his brain but l
suppose the doctor never thought of ex-
amining his head but it looks like he
would have done so when he found that
he bad his head set on the presidential
chair. 1t seems funny that his doctor
that he could ever set there and save
w. j. B. from talking so much through
his hat. Well did not start this letter
to dabble with other peoples affairs so
won't say anything more about any
body except our old self
Since my last letter to the News the
old SOW that has given US so much trou-
BILE has performed another miracle. A
few days ago she ate another hog as big
as herself completely up and when she
completed the job she did not look any
larger than she did before and | don't
think she would have weighed pound
more So this put me to thinking
there must he something wrong with
the old sister and study some plan to
get rid OF her. After the rest of the
family had gone to bed was left to my
own studies and all at once | heard "a
tremendous racket on the top of the
house and thinking it was the mob that
tackled me last spring at once prepar-
ed for fight. guess going on the roof
caused some SCOT to fall down the
chimney which made me think they
were coming down the chimney. So |
began to throw socks, sh oes and every
; thing that would make smoke into
the fire. BY this time the family had
become alarmed and were up trying to
ascertain the cause of the trouble. As
soon as they were out of the house | be-
gan to burn the pillows and the fire
soon caught up and blazed out of the
top Of the chimney and 1t was then
found by the light that the old sow was
on the top of the house trying to get
some acorns off of tree that stood near
the house. How she got on the house
no one knows but herself. Next morn
ing the whole family were all barefoot
ed as rabbits. AS for myself l did not
wait for the shoes to be missing, l got q
blanket and skipped out to the barn
where intended to stay until things
get quiet Next morning when one oil
the young Dooley's came to the barn to
feed told him to give the celebrated
Dofetchit's Love Powders in sufficient
, quantities to straighten things up al
soon as possible as my quarters were
= very unpleasant Sleeping with the
= rules tn an open barn as cold as th'
nights have been for the last ten day
= is not very pleasant business. So wheI
= l thonght the powders had time to hav'
D had the desired effect slipped out ant
g concealed myself as near TO the house
e as could get so as to listen if coulC
hear any cusS words being used and no
+. hearing any went in and found then
!, glad to see me and they said they didn'
care hooter for the shoes being burne
s for they was not good for much nohoW
Well, kind reader, 1908 is nearly az a
j, end and next year will be big time a
i mong the politicians to see who will b
,r president. am anxious to see wha
g issues will be used in the fight for
Il have not heard any anything that %
democrats say only throwing up
" Roosevelt something about Booke
y Washington, negro and mob violenc
% while the republicans are answerin
70 back, soup house, Coxey's army an
a bond issues. A dog that was crossin

s. bone to fight and the bone sank so
lost out for the chance Of fighting
