He does his work rom \ toR:
The mule when hc gets mad he kicks:

And so is man.
Like man he holds patient poIse.
And when his work s done will rejoice
The mule he likes 10 hear his voice
And SO does man.
The mule he has his faults. It's true:
And So has man.
He does some things he should not do:

Like man he doesn't ycam for style,

The mulc-he has lovely smile:
And so has man.
The mule Is sometimes kind and good.
And 80 Is man.
He eats oil kinds OF breakfast food:
And so does man.
Like man he balkS at gaudy dress
And all Outlandisi foolshnc.s.

The Song Of the Pavement.

From The chicago Inter Ocean.
They took little gravel
And they took a little tar.
With various ingredients
Imported from afar.
They hammered II and rolled Il.
And when they went away
They said they had a pavement
That would last for many day.
But they came with picks and smote II
To lay p water main:
And then they called the workmen
To nut It back again.
To run railway cable
Thcy took II up some more:
And then they put II back again
Just where II was before.
They took Il IN for condults
To run the telephone,
And then they put II hack again
As hard as any stone
They took II up for wires
To feed the 'lectric light
And then they put II back again.
Which was no more than right
Oh. tho pavcmcn's fIll OF burrows:
There arc patches everywhere
You'd Ike IN ride upon H.
But us seldom that you dore.
It's very handsome rtycmtnt,

Civil Service Commission to inspect the
post Offices Of the country and see If they
are violating the laws might travel along
with that other woman who has been sent
out by certain large insurance companies
to learn what kind of risks their agents
were taking. 1t is hard enough on Govern
ment and company officials to have man
come prying into their business, but for a
woman, one of the inferior sex. who is not
even Of enough consequence to vote, to
do such thing is adding insult to injury.
1t is to be hoped that the woman invested
with this responsibility will resist the
temptation to stand on the fence and crow.

A Bad Day but a Good Sale.

Notwithstanding the very disagreed
BILE weather and the almost impossible
roads, there was a good attendance at
Axes & Sigler's horse sale in this city
yesterday, when almost 100 head of
horses and mules went through the

there vas excellent stuff in the ring.
The prln-ioal buyers of animals were
A. D. Mccullough, of Charlton, George
Miskimmins, of Cambria, Mr.. Parrish,
of Moberly, Mo-, Ben Matthews, Pete
Daniels and George Russell of Gar
den Grove, S. S. Shorts, of Tingley,
and Willis Mcclure of Kellerton. The
prices realized were good and both buy
ers and sellers seemed pleased with the
sale. Axes & Sgler's monthly sales
are making Leon great horse and
mule market. Another sale will be
held next month. Watch tor the. date.

precarious condition at his home the
result of an accident last Friday morn

in his sleep about 8 a. m. and went out
on the upstairs porch and either walked
or fell off. He was unable to get up
and laid in the mud until few min
utes before o'clock when Nate Cralgo
noticed him lying in the yard and
went to his assistance. He was carried
into the house and physicians summon
ed, and at this time is in critical con-
dition, being partly paralyzed and
threatened with pneumonia. His adj
vanced age, being past so years, is great
ly against his recovery.

One Of our lady customers who buys
stockings for numerous bad boys and a girl
OF two says we sell her splendid stock
ings.' She buys the IS cent kind and
they are certainly the best IS cent stock
ing Leon ever saw. Here's how they are
made. Clean long fibre cotton yarn is
used, doubled at the heels and toes and
over the knees, with high spliced heels
bringing the heavy part Of the stocking
above the shoe counter. The 10 cent
stocking advertised last week is a plumb
good one too. All sizes.
Would be pleased to have you
call and examine them.

At the present time there are num-
Der of bootleggers plying their trade
in Leon. We will admit that it is
generally pretty hard for the officials to
get the evidence to convict these

put forth by the officials we believe the
town can be rid of every bootlegger who
is doing business here. Leon can get
along very well without them.

Des Mcines where he attended the big
Hereford cattle sale at the State Fair
grounds. Mr.. White sold two head

cattle reported sold were really bid in

Citizens of Leon should not by any

to be held next Monday, at which time
two directors will be elected to serve
three years. 1t is important that good

degree for the success of our public
schools, and they expend more money

the board are V. b. .MeGinnis and Jal
Stsntzell, the former having served si,
years and the latter three years,
