THE premature publication of our

who before could be relied upon to
travel home drunk have been shamed

they resolved to keep sober. / con-

By strange oversight, neverthe

for the gold-laced officers who draw
salaries big enough to enable them
to buy their own silver. In the mean
while the "Jaclies' can look on at

is his full intent to- stand beside the
president and win reforms the people

mind the story cc poor mans find.
A poor man Sn his homeward way

by the road little snake froze sitter

viper to his breast and 1ugged it home

that are made, but some Of them use
the following: Two ounces of carbon

mandrake, ginger, flower of sulphur
and powdered charcoal, with half q
pound of bicarbonate of soda. These
are mixed thoroughly, and one tea.

each quart Of soft food given the
fowls. We cannot recommend this
from personal use, but it may be as
valuable as the users think it is.
Fall Fertiiizins.
Fall fertilizing is advisable in

1t is not wise to apply 1t to
the orchard in the fall, lest It start

Tho Quoter

Once on a time there was man
who worked a huge financial plan:
plan to guarantee to men who loved
their wives and children, when they
passed across the great divide, some
for their future would provide. And
then to put the plan in force he took a
rather crooked course.
From poor mems premiums he would
take some 95 per cent to make soft
easy berths with salaries that beat
by several score degrees the wages
of the men who paid to have provi-
sion for wives made; and these soft
berths he took good care that only
his own house should share.
"It is your duty" he would cry,
ito lay little substance by that
wives and little ones may be from
poverty and trouble free. Just put
the money in my care and l will all
their burdens bear. I am a man

Two Pharisees

A Pharisee of gracious mein who
loved of all men to be, seen, once TO
the temple took his way to pose be-
fore the world and pray. And lifting
up his cunning eyes towards the
bright and sunny skies he gave loud
thanks--the story ran-he was not
like the publican.
The Pharisee of whom you've read
has for a long, long time been dead;
but in his place in ev'ry land some
other Pharisee will stand, and stand
ing thus will pray aloud--not to the
Father, but to the crowd-and then
imagine he is viewed with honor by
the multitude.
A man with overwhelming gall who
answers to the name Mccall, swiped
fifty thousand plunks or more belong
ing to the widows store, and gave
1t to sleek campaign in hopes to
add unto his gain, but raised his pious
eyes on high and prayed-and worked
graft on the SLY.
THANK God" he said, Il did not
swerve, but stroye our honor to pre-
serve" And as he prayed his pock-
cts bulged with wealth secured by
schemes divulged despite his loud en-
phatic plea that none wer quite so
pure as he. And with nerve sublime
he tried to point to his career with
pride.
The Pharisee of olden time has long
since struck another cline, and all the
world declares with vim It's surely
hot enough for him. The Pharisee
who grateful feels because the pronts
OF his steals were spent to further
other schemes will sometimes feel
just how it seems.
MORAL:
This life is fun OF guile and strife
But graft turks in the New York Lie.
The Fence
Once on time man of note
who often swelled his chest and
throat and gave full vent to lusty
speech until he was dubbed "Chaunce
de Peach,' stood forth upon the
stump with fears and voice choked
full of sobs and tears, and said: %
friends, alas, alacK; the nations
doomed to ballyhack!
"That is, to say, it's doomed to die
unless the people quickly fly to such
as me relief to find and do not those
disturbers mind who say that graf
and loot abound the whole financla
world around. The men like me
would gladly give their lives that thi:
great state might live.
| Don't listen to such men-heal
tme! Don't heed walls of calamity
The men who rTc our high finance
are men who never lost,>a chance tC
work for the republics veal, anu .sor
your ev'ry trouble feel Rely on US
we'll save the state and will preserve
it's honor great"
All this he said, and vastly more
and on his honor loudly swore that
honest men like him should be set
up to guard sweet liberty. But one
fine day the news reveals some mighty
big insurance steals. And people
chased him to the woods and caught
de Peach" with all the goods.
MORAL:
A search of such men will disclose
The goods" concealed about their
clothes.
