a demand from Mr.. Stubbs to know if
that story about the state printing
combination is true, Mr. Allen saws:
ALAS, it is not true" and he offers to
let Mr.. Stubs search him for the 500

the Ottawa Herald:
"a wireless interview with the editor
of the Herald in Kansas City paper
this week brings out a double-leaded
assault from Editor Stubs in last

paper Mr.. Stubs has recently pur-
chased, n the interest of his sena-
torial boom. Mr.. Stubs demands to
know whether it is true as charged bv

printing in a secret, surreptitious way
Alas, it is not true. If Mr.. Stubs car

A TALE OF TERROR.

They got It as wedding gift,
A kindly and considerate boon,
Designed their hearts to please and lit
At waning Of the honeymoon.
All, generous friendl Though good your
thought,
Your act of kindness makes US moan;
You little know the woe you brought,
In giving of that gramophone.
They start it UP at early morn,
Somewhere round half past O'CLOCK,
And thence till breakfast time its tones
Are blaring DER the outraged block;
And. lest we might not fully hear,
They open have their windows thrown.
'Twere sad for pious ears TO hear
What's said about that gramopnone-
When silence reigns and all rejoice
That something's broken or gone wrong
That libel on the human voice
Bursts forth again in strfdent song.
At strains of Faueous vaudeville
The boIdest shrink, the Dravest groans
Till Iongings come TO MAIN or Kill
The owner of that zramophone-
Hank! There. we gods, It goes again!
Give me my hat and let me goi
I can not stand that grim refrain,
1 can't endure those notes of woe.
In desert cave or lonely shore
III dwell in peace, remote. alone,
Rather than bear 1T. Ger and Ger,
The torture of that gramophone-

not considered worthy of anything more
than killing for making meat used by
the poor farmer families in the back
woods. Many people considered that
variety of the pig family a native OF
the south. but it is not. In the old
pioneer days the farmers let their hogs
run wild and they deteriorated into the
breed that has since been noted as
razorbacks. They developed lean sides,
long noses and long legs through the
necessity of having to shift among the
pines for their food.
To-day the shipping of razorbacks
has come to be quite an industry and
hundreds of them are brought to Illi-
nois and Iowa for fattening. They
grow to good size in the woods Of the
south and, having voracious appetities
and a large frame, they soon put on flesh
after being penned up where they do
not run their flesh off.
THE farmers of the south are now
taking in hundreds of thousands of dol
lars a year from source that was for
merly unproduetive, and their northern
brothers find that fattening razorbacks
turns their corn into shekels at rapid
rate."-MiIwaukee Sentinel.

luarreling about the proposition of

of himself and he should not be held
accountable. If that theory were per-
