THE ONCE HAPPY FAMILY.

The republicans are flying at
each others Threats in way that
should give encouragement to the
democrats.
In New York the Platt pecca-
ries are making it extremely UNI
comfortable for the Odell orang-
outangs, and vice versa.
In Illinois the State convention
had to adjourn for ten days to
avoid yet more disgraceful scenes.
In Wisconsin the Spooner brig
ade is marching on La Toilette
with clinched teeth and unsheath-
ed knives.
In Indiana the Beverage boats
are laying mines for Fairbanks.
In Ohio Mr.. Dick is plotting to
get the scalp of Mr.. Foraker.
These things are on the surface
in plain view. Then there's the
resentment of the republican con-
gressmen because of the Bristow
report, aided and abetted by the
concealed jealousy of the Hanna
Mckinley following.
The situation is very much like
unto the one that prevailed just
twenty years ago, when the
Blaine-Conkling feud put Cleve-
land in the White House.-Waco

The other man took 50 gold

they were fairly falling over each

put up his four-bits on the start
was rather neglected, and even
had to do some roaring before he
could get his dinner at all. When
the man with the gold coin had
filled himself liesurely with the

cleansed his fingers in the finger

ANOTHER destroyer destroyed.
Farm and Ranch says:

Farmers who look to ants to
clear fields of insect pests are de-
stined to meet disappointment.
Even if ants did destroy boil
weevils the condition of the plant
er would not be greatly improved
with thousands of singing ants
swarming in the field. Who would
undertake to pick the cotton? If
pickers could be secured their
shoes would have to be satuated
with petroleum as n protection
against the ants. ThreShing might
be resorted to but then the grade
of the staple would be reduced.
Don't be led astray by advocates
of such ''heroic measures" or
contemplate appealing to the leg
islature to protect ants.

fingers of his left hand In q At Of re-
ligious frenzy.
On hearing that the Russians had
suffered disaster In the far East he de-
clared that this was the result of their
sins, which could only be atoned for
by a sacrifice to mother earth He
protested at first not to know the
meaning of this.
On ST. John the Baptist's day, how,
ever, he had revelation, ordering
him to plant himself in darkness in
the first earth he trod on. there to re
main until the infidels were beaten OF
until birch-leaves sprouted from his
mutilated hand"
AS Senelitch's cabin had an earthen
floor. he understood this to mean thai
he was to plant himself where he
stood. He blocked up the windows
and had double door fitted to his
hut SO a. To exclude the Tight, and
then dug hole and planted himself II
