HONEST ABE. U. S. NJ.
The Rural Mail Carrier Gets Poetic
Again.


When I stopped at Uncle Ebenezer
Jacksons the other day 1 found the
house in mourning over news received
from MISSOURI the day before. Pete
jackson, son of the old farmer, had
gone west to visit relatives, and one
DAY when he was out fishing for cat
flsh he mad turned up missing There
was a chance that he had gone off with
the circus to bring ice to the polar bear,
or tnat ne had run off with some far
mer's girl, but 1t was pretty firmly be-
lieVed that he had hooked a catfish and
been drawn into the swim.
Ape added Uncle Eben, when he
mad told his news, this is sad blow
on US, and you must do your best to
help us bear it. If we had some of
your poetry to look at and read over
know we should feel a heap better.
Don't leave without writing a verse or
two"
The United States was waiting for
me to deliver mail, but 1 took chances
and sat down and dashed of the fol-
lowing:
Pete Jackson got a fit on him
The woolly west to see;
And now the echoes answer back,
POOR Pete; oh, where is her
with forty dollars in his hand,
And heart so full of hope,
He kissed the family fond adieu
And westward he did slope.
THE muddy Missouri rolled
Toward the mighty sea;
And things with. Pete would been o. K.
Had he but let them be.
But he must sit him down upon
The bank and bait his hook,
And FISH for cat and other fish
He'd read of in a book.
What happened neer will be known,
But it is fair to s'pose
That Peter got to thinking and
Proceeded to a doze.
while fishing for a catfish thus,
And off his wonted vim.
Things took very sudden turn,
And the catfish it caught him."
The farmer and his wife wiped their
weeping eyes after / had read the eff
fusion, and the old man accompanied
me to the gate to say:

ABE, 1 can see things different now

though we shall mourn Pete as long

with two hogs standing by, but the
inspiration seized me and I invented
the following:
"Now what to me is chickenpox,
When love my heart is swelling?
And what to me a case of mumps,
When love I would be tellin'?
"My Sarah sits and holds her jaws,
And feels constant aching;
And tears are ever in her eyes,
And her dear heart is breaking.

Her tongue has ceased it's wagging:
And in her heart she figgers out
That Joseph's love is tagging.

NO MORE ENFORCEMENT.
Santa Fe Must Stop Making Land in
Kayy Channel.

Kansas City, Aug. 22.-Judge Will
liam C. Holt of the common pleas
court in Kansas City, Kas., has handed
down a decision in the temporary in
junction suit filed some time ago by
James S. Gibson, county attorney of
Wyandotte county, in the name of the
state, against the Santa Fe railroad to
restrain it from encroaching on the
channel of the Kaw river at and be
low Argentine. and has held that the
company be enjoined from construct
ing breakwaters or making any land
along the south bank of the river.
While the decision is only on the
temporary injunction and the final dis
position of the matter wilt have to
await another hearing, the decision
and findings of Judge Holt leave no
doubt that the Santa Fe railroad has
for years been making lands in the
channel and constructing distractions
which it will eventually have to re-
move.
Augevine and Cubbison, representing
the Santa Fe, filed a motion for a
new hearing, which Judge Holt over
ruled. They were given until October
1 to perfect the record for appeal to
the supreme court.

LEADER OF THE MOB"
Cripple Creek Banker Objects to
Being So Denominated.

Cripple Creek. Col, Aug. PA. z. Car
Teton, mine owner and bank president, of
this city, was interviewed by a correspon-
dent of the Associated Press concerning
the report that he had been charged by
j. Q. Higens and others of the men who
were deported from this district Saturday
night with having directed the work of
the mob of 1000 miners.
Mr.. Carleton did not deny that he had
a hand in the deportations, but took ex-
ception to the statement that he was the
leader of the mob
Il had no more to do with the business
than number of Others" said Mr.. Car
fore came to town from my mines Sat
urday evening".
In a statement made at Denver Mr..
HigenS declared that those who perform
ed the physical work of selling and driY-
ing three attorneys, the proprietors of the
and others out of town, consulted with
Banker Carleton and Nelson Franklin,
formerly of Victor, from time to time
during the proceedings.
clared Mr.. Higens, land said: There is
one you want and the next moment they
had me fast. About week ago Carleton
asked me to withdraw from the bond OF
William Graham, one of the imprisoned
miners. and I refused to do SO. This is
the offense for which ] was deported. 1
do not think that over 200 men in the
thousands which watched our deportation
were in sympathy with the treatment We
received. -
Mr.. Higens is builder and has a. con-
tract on a cyanide mill in the Cripple
Creek district which is unfinished.
Mr.. Carleton justif1es the deportations
on the ground that the men sent out of
or. friends of the Western Federation of
Miners.

COW by a tree blowing down and
breaking her back. and although 1 am
no cowboy poet, l couldn't resist the
fearful appeal of Aunt Martha to turn
out two or three verses. l jumped
down from my cart and run into the
house, and in eleven minute she had
the following in her hand;
"All innocent that danger Iurked
Beneath the summer sky,
Our spotted COW went out to Craze
And chew her eud and sigh.
"Her age was almost fourteen years
And seldom was she farrOw;
She was a COW who loked ahead
To brighter, better morrow.
Beneath a tree she took her stand,
And set her tail to switching;
And galley west she knocked the flies
To bite her who were itching.
"But, all. alas, a sudden wind
Came from the west ALLOWING,
And ere that COW knew what was up
Grim death his seeds was sowing.
1.-The tree it tottered to its fall.
And broke her spinal column;
And scalding tears they fill my eyes
AS lay down this volume"
Aunt Martha cried as she read the
verses, and then laying motherly
hand on my shoulder, she said:
abe, why can't the rest of us be as
good as you be?"
And I had to answer that I didn't
know.-(Copyright, 1904. by T. G.
