DAVIS SAYS YES.

There was gloom in the committee, and
with voices low and Sad
They diScour$ed upon the troubles and
the worriment$ they had.
Whats the news from West Virginia 2"
they would Sit around and Say,
Have they Sent the message telling
Uncle Henry Ga$Saway
That the pe$$imi$tic leaders have but
little to expect
If we haven't his assurance that the
fighting Shall be ~checked?"
So they Sat about in Silence, thinking of
their chances Slim,
Guessing whether he would tumble if a
brick house fell on him;
And the ones who We're best posted told
in whispers Soft and low
What a Swathe they might be $laShing
if he only would let 60.
And from time TO time they Started when
a whistle blithe and gay
Made them think there was a message
from good Henry Ga$$away.
Still the moments grew to hours and the
clock Seemed almost Stopped.
And in diS$appointment'$ Shadow all the
hearts So anxious dropped;
Till TO cheer the waiting watchers one
who'd Seen the wondrouS place
Told them not to grow deSpondent-it
was not a hopeless case;
That while Henry Ga$Saway was not so
Spry and Swift and young,
Still he knew his barrel wasn't any use
without a bung.
Then at last there came the answer to
the message they had Sent
And their happiness long Stifed in an
instant was unpent,
And the pe$SimiStic persons turned to
optimistic thoughts
For the Short. decisive Sentence bright
ened all the gloomy Spots.
Just a Short, $e%ntentiou$ Sentence Served
the glad news to express
1t was Soulfully Set forth thus: Mister
Davis answers Yes"

TRIBuLATIoNs OF A GREAT
GRANDFATHER.
Elkins, W. Va, Aug. &c. 1901

UlklnS, w. Va, Aug. 26, 1904.
Dear Sonny:
Have Just finished readin' your speech Of
acceptance for the third time and find it
tough chewin for my unprotected gums.
My new teeth have gone to the dentists
for a gold film, to match our new views,
and my boy Steve UGlkins) has borrowed
the old set l got the year Washington
crossed the Delaware, to make a mask Of
Roosevelt for his grandchildren.
Can you tell me why people who do
things always have teeth, while those who
don't, have none-only ears?
As l was sayin', what bothers me is, II
you wrote that speech Of acceptance who
wrote your dispatch to Sheehan; and II you
wrote the dispatch what dodgasted blum
derbuSs wrote your Esopus speech?
I've just finished readin' n new memoir
Of Andrew jackson, and it set me thinkin'
how he could stand on the st. Louis plat
form without putting his foot through cv-
cry paragraph. Andy was like that young
ster in the White House-he had teeth and
did things, and didn't care who wrote the
platforms so long as he didn't have to
stand on them.
What do you think Andy would have
done in Cuba. or in the Philippines, or Mt
Panama? l guess he'd have got there first
and consulted the consent of the governed
afterwards.
Speaking of a%nnexin' things, where do
you suppose I'd have got the sponduicks to
put up for our campaign fund If hadn't
OF set up nights annexln' everything in
sight?
Take my advice and stop takin' to the
water every mornln' before breakfast. 1t
will hurt the ticket Oh the East Side of
New York aud in Kentucky.
Little Steve has just come in from n
Roosevelt and Fairbanks rally on my front
lawn. and says our ticket reminds him of
a brindle pup, because it has more wug
in its tail than in its head. What do YOU
suppose he means? Yours till November,
GRANDPA

Senator Elkins has recently reported
that his father-ir-law's State, West Vir-
GINA, is as safe for the Republican
ticket as Pennsylvania. Henry CASA
way should warn his son-in-law that it
is bad form to tell family secrets. Judge
Parker's son-in-law is more discreet
or perhaps, the clam policy that prevails
at Rosemeunt as to public affairs is as
uncommunicative as ever when the shut
tiers are closed and the bolts shot.

Hint FOR Democratic spellbinder..

When Democratic spellbinders go be-
fore the people this year they should
conclude their speeches with the words
of the Litany: I'VE have erred and stray
ed like lost sheep. We have followed
too much the devices of our own hearts.
We have done those things which we
ought not to have done, and we have left
undone those things which we ought to
have done, and there is no health in US.
The Lord have mercy upon us, miserable
sinners" The only reason why the
party has not lone more mischief is lack
of opportunity.

CHOICE OF YOUNG MEN.
President Roosevelt Represents Cour
age, Man1iness and Independence.

To the younger citizens of the United
States, those who will cast their first
vote for President at the coming election,
it would appear that Roosevelt should
appeal almost entirely. He represents
courage, and strength, and independence,
and all the tendencies Of those who are
ready to dare and do and work for the
betterment Of everything American. He
is no trimming, vascillating conservative
with any degree of respectable craft in
his composition affecting his course, be-
cause of the opinions and desires of 9TH
ers. He is not the selected representa-
tive Of a group, but is the American

"what we really need In this country
Is to treat the tariff az a business

nor any other can stand the ruinous
policy of rendjustinx its business to

During the first three years of the

the Mckinley administration the excess
of exports over imports was $1,531,OOO,-

THE TRIP TO SHERMAN
Trinity Ouiplayed Austin College in
Every Part Of the Game.

The trip to Sherman yesterday by
the Trinity University football team,
university students and others was
made under the most favorable cir
cumstancea. 1t was an ideal day for
an outing and every person forming
the party had a most delightful time.
The Houston and Texas Central
provided special train for the ac-
commodation of the excursionists.
This train was composed Of four ele-
giant chair cars and a combination
baggage car. The train was due "a
leave here at 8 O'Clock, but the crowd
began gathering at the depot and
buying tickets an hour before that
time About two hundred and fifty
people went from Waxahachie and
several we're picked up at JeGries,
Garrett, Palmer and Ferris. The
University students formed more
than half the crowd, a large number
of the young ladies going from the
dormitory. 1t was probably one OF
the most enthusiastic aggregations oil
rooters that ever accompanied a foot
ball team to q distant town TO witness
game of this always interesting
and fascinating sport

Splendid Close to
Republican Campaign
Special to The Optic.

Special to The Optic.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, Nov,S7, 1901
The republican campaign In New
Mexico was practically closed Satur
day night in Santa Fe by one Of the
most enthusiastic rallies ever held In
the territory. Hardly an inch III
standing room was available In the
large court house. Every indication
points to a good majority for Andrews
In Santa Fc county over all opponents.
Catron's fusion With the democrats
Ia decidedly unpopular, even with his
most intimate friends. That the form
or republican leader but constant
bolter will be releeated to the pnrt,y
tomorrow whose interests he had
been 80 anxious to assist at every op.
%portunity. Governor Otero made his
best speech Of twentyone in the
campaign. The chief executive ag.
excessively attacked the position TAX.
en- by certain disgruntled politicians
and then told a little history concern.
Ing their actions in the past. The
court house was In a constant state
Of excitement, the speaker being III.
terrupted many times by loud cheer.
Ing AT the simple mention OF An.
drews' name. Senator Andrews made
a statement OF his position amid gen,
eral enthusiasm being followed by oil
oquent addresses by Il. c. Abbott,
candidate for the council and George
w. Prichard of White Oaks. The
meeting was n fit closing for one
of the most remarkable campaigns
ever waged in New Mexico. The rally
would have taken place out Of doors
In the plaza but for the chilly air.
Many were unable TO even mount the
stairs.
Confidence reigns supreme at the
territorial republican headquarters In
Santa Fe the day before the election.
This Is in marked contrast to the
prevailing air of gloom and affected
certainty that are apparent across tho
plaza where the democratic banner
floats. The republican leaders have
been besieged for two days with tel.
egrams from every county In New
Mexico promising full support to
Senator Andrews tomorrow. Now
plainly the only question Is how large
a majority viii be received by the
head OF the ticket, The leaders are
willing TO concede seven counties to
the democrats and will still have a
majority for Andrews ranging from
i've tn seven thousand. Elaborate
preparations are under way for the
celebration III a. republican victory. 80
certain are an OF victory.

1.-THE Two Little Waits"

Lincoln j. Carriers great melodra-
matte treat entitled "The Two Little
Waits" will be seen at Las Vegas
one night. Tuesday, Nov. Sth.
One OF the principal features Of the
performance Is the acting Of the two
children who have the title role.
From the start they elicit an intense
sympathy from the audience by their
intelligent conduct. The story Is one
of double dealing, heart breakings,
adversely and final happiness. 1t
takes five interesting acts to put all
the characters through their parts
and these five acts are made abun-
dainty pleasing by scenic effects that
are up to Mr.. Carriers standard.
There are moving clouds. a rising
moon, a lawn fete and a Christmas
Toy shop to complete the realism OF
the play.
The waits are the children OF
Wayne Fleming, who has been mis-
taken as to his wifeis dutifulness
through the Vaccinations OF Lyman
Pendeyille. The whole action Of the
play appeals to every man, woman
and child and comes within the scope
OF every persons intelligence. Rich
ard III, Pinkie and Officer Flanagan
furnish the comedy element and
their laughable speeches are always
pleasing and mirth provoking. The
play as a whole $ full OF action. gin.
ger and comedy and the story Ia u.s.
ually well told and consistent In its
dialogue.
