But He Wont Do Il.

Johnny's mother had been anxious
to instill into the mind of her youth
full son the necessity of reading at
least a few verses from the Bible
each day. She is anxious that her
son should have knowledge OF the
Bible as we'll as other books; in fact,
she thinks a reading Of the great
book the best means of gaining a
good understanding of English and
history. The little fellow has been
adding verse through the Psalms,
Proverbs and those books as he ad.

MAKES REPLY
Owner of Alleged Fighting Cock
Tells his Side of the
Story.
Nymore, Aug. 20, 100;

Nymore, Aug. 20, 1903.
Editor Daily Pioneer:
In reply to an article which ap-
peared in your paper yesterday
entitled ssFowl Deed" | wish to
state my side of the story and
let the public decide who is right.
The would-be constable that
claims he was assaulted was in
fact the party that made the
assault. and had the temerity to
come into my house for that pur-
pose. And not recognizing him
in his would-be official capacity |
treated him just exactly the
same as | would any other law
breaker, and ordered him off the
premises, telling him that if he.
came to make ztfou Bile could ac-
commodate him. | saw plainly
that he did not come with any
peacaole intent. 1t is true that
/ took a sabre bayonet from the
wall to enforce my demands, but
not with any intention to injure
him in any manner, unless IN
self defense. If I had wished
otherwise he would certainly
bear some marks on his person
as a result of the encounter. He
has made efforts to have a war
rant served and up TO date has
failed. The inference is plain
that he did not get all that was
coming to him. His statement
that he strolled down to my
house is open to suspjcian as
himself and four others consu It:
ed together just across the street
and he came directly from there
and acted in such a manner that
there was no doubt in my mind
as TO what his object was. The
fowl" in question has been
teased and abused ever since we
came here and the children as a
rule are not afraid of him, as can
be attested by anyone who cares
to look the matter up. In this
case it is not a matter Of fowl,
but how our opponents can get
up some excuse so they might
have something to hang their
hats on, as up to this time they
have been at a loss how to meet
the charges that have been pre-
ferred against them in regard to-
the recent Nymore election. ltI
is not the fowl they are after 50
much as the owner, because said
owner has been very much in
their road.
