Elements Of Humor In tho Hearst
Boom.
Democracy's exciting search for
leader has added much to the gay ETY.
of the nation during the past few
months, but no feature of this Di-
ogenes stunt has called forth more
mirth, than the spontaneous and up.
roarious announcement of Yellow
Willie Hearst that he, himself, is the
man Democracy is looking for.
Willie's native modesty prevented
his making the announcement for
long time, but owing to the persist
ent demands made upon him by the
three newspapers which he owns, he
was at last made to realize his duty
to the party and to mankind in gen.
eral, 80 with that admirable spirit of
self-sacrifice for which professional
demagogues are noted he finally in
duced himself to accept the leader,
ship which he had been urging him
self to accept through his newspsp-
ers.
His great popularity as demo-
cratic leader is made apparent by the
enthusiastic support which his own
three papers are giving him.
Day after day they clamor for
Hearst, aud it is reasonable to expect
that should he buy any more news
papers, they too would cheerfully
support him. For some reason the
other democratic papers of the conn
try have overlooked him entirely.
Willie inherited vast fortune,
and just to show that the office should
seek the man he is using this fortune
freely in the employment of political
agents to visit every assembly or
convention of wage-earners where
they undertake to get resolutions

Why MANY Youno Men Fall.

It is the fault and the cause of the
failure Of so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into a GER
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out Of it; they
do not seek the work that is not rou-
tine and go beyond the terms OF the
bond in search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
Of their employers. They do not &C
to their posts before nor remain at
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no more
than enough. to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk is generally
genteel, easy, clearly; he need not
soil his hands nor his clothes, and his
ambition is satisfied with these pleaf
ant conditions.

workers trust him implicitly. But for

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-02-28

member of the great American
family of octopuses reached Chicago
last week in hard luck 1t came from
the Pacific coast to a fish market on
the West Side, wrapped in cloths,
nearly starved and more than half
frozen. The deathless octopus instinct
was alive, however. and as soon as its
wrappings were removed it reached
out and grasped a coal oil can, a scut-
tie of coal and a gas jet
Mr. Rockefeller, Mr.. Baer and the
president of the Chicago gas monop-
oily were not present, but if they had
been tears of admiration and SYM
pathy would have welled from them.
1t was a touching thing to see.
The primal passion of the octopus,
whether born in the Pacific ocean,
New Jersey, Wall street or La Sale
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-02-28

street, is to reach out and grab some
thing, subjecting it to a deathful
squeeze, and this passion holds good
through all of its glorious if not bene-
ficent life. being the last thing about
it to die
The Pacific octopus has suckers on
its arms. and the others have them in
stockholders meetings, but that is a
trifiing difference. In soul the ravager
of the great sea depths and the raw
ager of the worlds industries are iden-
teal.
This octopus came to life rapidly in
the heat of the store and it's arms shot
out swiftly and caressingly- 1t would
have acquired most of the things in
the room in another second or two if
it had not been hastily moved out OF
reach.

man Horn was the proprietor of a
livery stable in Magdalena, a grocery
store in Kelly and owned an interest
in a saloon in Socorro- He was by
nature a gambler and the latter occu-
patton having greater charms, he
spent most of his time watching the
cards in the famous Travellers Re
treat"
On the evening of the 18th Reed
was dealing game of Mexican Keno
when Horn came up to the table. and
Clipped in the game. He lost some
what heavily, and finally accused
'Scotty" of cheating him of $3.50. On
the next play he put down $3.50 and
said, THE bet goes for So Reed
turned the card and Horn won and
the equivalent of full winning of a
f1ve-dollar wager.
Reed cried Table stakes only"
you cheated me, you -" re-
sponded Horn. 81 say the bet goes

stake back
Horn responded with an oath. Reed
pulled for his gun. Horn cried, Il

Get your gun quick said Reed.
Horn ran out of the saloon to his
livery stable, block away, and re-
turned with big Colts revolver.
"Scotty' Reeds back was turned as
Horn came into the saloon. One of
the men cried, Look out Here he is,
Scotty.'' Horn pulled for his Colts,
but it stuck in the hip pockets of his
jeans. Scotty Reed had the drop on
him, and could have killed him then
and there as he was attempting to
draw his revolver. Instead, Reed
tipped a handkerchief to Horn across
a gaming table, retaining hold of one
corner, at the same time crying,
'Open up, d-n you" AS Horn caught
the handkerchief both men opened
fire. Reed was the first to shoot, and
his bullet shattered Horns right
shoulder blade, knocking him side
ways SO that he fell against the bar
and lost his hold on the handkerchief

New Monument for Shiloh.

The bronze figure that is to COM
plete the monument to be dedicated
to the Illinois soldiers who fell in the
battle of Shiloh has been shipped from
Chicago to Pittsburg Landing, Tenn.
The statue was cast by the American
Bronze Foundry company, from a
model made by r. w. Book, Chi
cago sculptor; it weighs 1000 pounds.
The figure is thirteen feet high, with
a seven-foot square base, and repre-
sents the Mother of Illinois in a sit
ting posture. On her head she wears
a diadem filled with jewels, typifying
her sons. In one hand she holds a
sword, while with finger of the other
hand she marks the page in history
