The Happy scho.lboy.

Bill shakespeare tells little tale
About boy who always whiEed
When school time came. and whom Il snail
In speed could leave block behind;
Who'd rather stay at home and play
And sit around and NOPE and dream.
But. then, you know, in Williams day,
They didn't have a football team.
Nowadays the boys look forward to
The morning when the bell disturbs
The autumn air; there's no boohoo
At thought Of parsing Latin verbs
j. Caesars bridge can't make them fret
Nor crafty Euclid's hardest scheme,
For after school will they not get
chance to make the football team?
vacation time is full of Joy.
But Jin's not sorry it has passed.
This wear he's not little boy
He's twelve pounds heavier than last.
with snaiI-Hke speed does he approach
Tho school? Not much; he's full o.
steam.
Perhaps he can persuade the coach
70 put him on the football team.

MORE HITcHlNe POSTS.

Thoroughfare, However.
ial ID

Iowa Falls, Dec. 2.-The hitching
post problem in this city having been
propounded, the city council has read
the answer, and as result the effort
to place hitching posts on the main
business street of the city is failure.
Some time ago, certain parties sought
to bring back the old-time hitching
post, and place it on Main street. AS
a result of the agitation, this city will
have a lot more posts, but they will
be located on the side streets.

to finish and actively set things going
is something our historic party IL sa-
credly pledged to combat to the end.
Imagine power so ruthless that 1t even
threatens to tear a canal across the
isthmus of Panama and to build vast
dams and reservoirs and irrigate the arid
reaches of the West. We are opposed
to power.
This Weather.
Without the exhibition Of any undue
bitterness. speaking calmly of our op-
ponerts. as should become an ex-Road
Commissioner. would call your atten-
ton. gentlemen, to the fact that under
Republican administration the last
winter was the coolest in over forty
years. What has followed? Has the
Signal Service been rcformed2 SO far
rs any intelligence has been transmitted
to me, the bureau of the Agricultural
Department to which l have Just made
casual reference remains in almost pre-
cisely the condition in which 1t WAS a
year ago. / wish to refer to this matter
with all broadness and dignity of percep-
ton. but, while I would not directly
charge maladministration in the prem
ises, feel at least justified in calling
the attention Of the American people to
an existent state.
The Boil wecvil.
Furthe rmore, gentlemen, and bearing
in mind the graceful remarks OF your
chairman. would call attention par
ticularly to the boil weevil which has SO
rayaged the cotton crop under Repub-
licnn administration. 1t is true that Ger
tain ostensible attempts to check the
evil have been made, but why should the
boil weevil have appeared at all? What
necessity was there for a boA weevil un-
der any circumstances? 1t is the old
story of Republican oppression of the
South And the chinch bug is undoubt-
edly impending!
Encke's Comet.
But, gentlemen, and l am not un-
mindful of the fact that l was practi-
cally renominated n second time on
platform supposed to be thoroughly ex-
purgated in spirit IL not in letter. l would
call attention to the fact that under this
same Republican administration Encke's
comet is to renppear again this fall and
tear it's senseless way across our solar
system, The Republicans admit the fact
themselves, and having, unfortunately. a
majority of the educated class in their
ranks, including almost all astronomers.
they should certainly be conversant
with the situation.

Praise. the Platform.
The sublime platform recently con-
structed at St. Louis, apparently out of
loose boards left over from the I-ouisi-
ana Purchase Exposition. is assuredly n
marvel of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. As matter of
course, it makes n liberal use OF the de-
ceased Thomas Jeferson-as party we
always uae the deceased Thomas JEFF
ferson-but it goes farther and promises
to correct every known and a consider
able number OF unknown wrongs and out
rugcs, wherever, whatsoever and how
ever they nppenr in the boundless uni
verse. 1t vows to pry into. investigate.
drag out and jack up the scandals and
breaches OF public trust which we all
know exist everywhere, when we are out
of Office Gentlemen. I approve of the
platform.

erty. and | feel that l may do so fear
lessiy. AZ it is well-known assertion. If
not a fact that many crimes have been
committed in the name OF said liberty.
Liberty is-in short. liberty is something
we always refer to in the platform.

warning. There is danger in the very air

entire District of Columbia. l do not
fear it, and | may never have to breathe

Potomac. The power which seeks to
