Fables by Tom McNeal.

A man who had been elected to the
legislature went home when the glad
some springtime was come and pro-
ceeded to get things IN motion on the
farm. He needed some help and hired
a husky young fellow who had also
spent the winter in Topeka as a door
keeper. The first morning after the
young man was hired, the legislator
directed him to go out and feed the
horses. The young man hesitated.
"What are you waiting fOr?" asked
the legislator waiting for the
other two fellows to come and help
me ,"answered the young man. what
other felows?" asked the legislator.
why | supposed that you intended
to run this as you did the legislative
business and have at least three men
to one job" answered the young man.
"Well, young fellow, you get that
notion OUT of your head right away.
This is my own money that / am
spending now: down at Topeka l was
mostly spending other peoples.
Mora: 1t frequently makes differ
ence whether man is spending bis
own money or the money of the public.
There was once a Kansas man who
was the father of an incident son who
loved to slumber in the morning when
he should have been up and attending
to the chores. The father yelled up
the stairway that it was time to get
up, but the son only grunted, then
turned over and went to sleep again.
The next morning the old man did
not call, but at an early hour he took
blacksnake whip in his hand and
proceeding up the stairs with heavy
tread he touched the young man up a
few. The young fellow bounded out
of bed and complaingly asked why his
father had not called him.
well, my son, l called yesterday,
but this morning + looked oyer my
hand and concluded that | would
raise" on just for luck"
Moral: Often the terms Of the sin
full game are used with great express
sion and force.

The Erie boys are taking an unfair
advantage of Chanute. 1t Is SAID all
things are fair in love and war, but we
think the punishment that is being
inflicted on us is entirely too severe
this time. 1t seems to be in excess or
our siHning. They've simply set their
foot down and say positively, mo
court house, no whiskey," and have
begun by turning down the permit OF
one OF our drug stores.
Now we beg for mercy and hope our
good friends in Erie will relent and
not be so heartless as all that. We
simply can't stand it and will be COM
PEELED to surrender Internationally II
they don't relent,

MILLIONS AWAIT
AMERICUS HEIRS.
Claim to Tison Money Being
Pushed.
FOUR MILLIONS FOR DIVISION,
Several Heirs to immense Estate in
Australia are Hopeful of Making
Good Their Claim to Their Goodly
Fortune.

The Americas claimants to portion
of the great Tison estate of four mil
lions of dollars, now awaiting distribu-
tion by the Australian authorities, are
more than even hopeful of proving
their claims and getting their goodly
portion.
The story of this roseate dream of
wealth has already been told in the
Times Recorder.
Numerous heirs of Tisop, former
Georgian, reside in Americas, their
claim resting upon their relation to
Daniel Adkins, one of his descendants
and also Georgian.
Judge J. A. Ansley CLAIMS to be
grandson of Daniel Adkins and, there
fore, one of the heirs to this estate.
But there are dozens of others in Geor-
gia of like kinship, and not few of
these, like Judge Ansley, reside here
and are we'll known.
The estate was appraised originally
at twelve millions of dollars much of
which has been distributed among
heirs proving their rights.
The central branch" of the remain
ing line of heirs is at Thompson and
Warrenton, Ga. and Judge Aneley is
going there next week for the purpose
of more fully establishing his claim,
along with those of numerous residen s
of that locality.
It is to be hoped that goodly chunk
of the Tison millions many eventually
be distributed among the Americas
heirs.

Charges Against w. n. Thrash Not
Sustained
The result of sensational trial just
concluded at cambridge is of interest
in Americus, where the parties to the
unfortunate affair formerly resided and
are we'll known. J. Fl. Evans brought
suit against W. Ell. Thrash, an engin-
eer, charging him with adultery, with
Mrs. Evans as co defendent. The court
room was crowded almost to suffocation
during the trial. The 13-year .old-son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Evans was introduced
by the prosecution and he gave dam
aging evidence against his mother,
who seemed unmoved as he related to
the jury his story attacking her honor.
The interest of the spectators, it is
said, was intense at this point in the
trial. The defense charged that the
boy was influenced by his father, as
the giving in of testimony against a
mother, honor was an unnatural act.
A verdict of not guilty was rendered.
