Dear EDITOR

Dear EDITOR
will write story. The name is
:" Johnny, the Bad Boy"
Once there was boy and he was a
bad boy. They named him Johnny,
the Bad Boy. One day his mother told
him to get some water. His father
took Johnny over his knee. You bet
Johnny screamed. He would get the
chickens by the neck. Johnny would
get q tanning every day. He would
kick the pigs and COWS. He would pull
the pigs tail and make them grunt
Johnny went fishing one day. He
caught big fish and it pulled him In.
That was the last of Johnny.
Sincerely yours,
Smithie Lewis, age II,

GRANGE LEGISLATION.

National Grange Committee Inter-
views the President.
The legislative committee Of the ma
tional grange consists of Ex-Governor
N. ]. Bachelor. master of the national
grange; Hon. E. B. Norris, master of
the New York state grange, and Aaron
Jones, master of the Indiana state
grange. The committee met some
weeks ago in Washington. President
Roosevelt gave them a private confer
ence on some matters of pending legis.
latiOn. He very emphatically express
ed his opinion as opposed to any mOdi-
fication of the present oleomargarine
law and believes a parcels post system
will be established.
The committee also called on the in
terstate commerce commission and be,
fore them reaffirmed the position Of
the grange on what Is termed rate leg.
islation and stated that the organiza-
ton, as body, stood ready to exert
its influence In favor of giving the
commission power to regulate trans.
portatiOn rates and prevent unjust dis
elimination in transportation charges
and rebates.
On Feb. 7 the grange was represent.
ed at hearing before the ways and
means committee upon the bill to re-
move the internal revenue tax upon
alcohol, rendered unfit for beverage,
for use in the Industries. National Mas,
ter Bachelor presented an able argu-
ment for the proposition, as did a
Michigan state grange representative
and others.
The committee interviewed the chair.
man of the committee on agriculture
and other influential members Of con.
gress upon pending legislation to pro
vide national aid for highways. II
Informed the congressman that the
principles of the bill known as the Cur.
rier good roads bill were Endorsed by
the grange, but the committee does not
anticipate the enactment of this law at
the present session.
Postmaster General Cortelyou In.
formed the grange committee that he
had under consideration the advisable,
ity of the experimental adoption of the
parcels post system in certain sections
Of the country. method pursued when
rural free mail delivery was establish
ed, and the committee informed the
postmaster general that this would be
entirely satisfactory.
The committee on agriculture was al
so interviewed relative to reducing the
tax on colored oleomargarine from 10
to 2 cents per pound. but there seems to
be but little probability that any such
legislation will be passed during this
session of congress

Cleverness and Daring of Man
Appealed to Roosevelt

Lawton, Okla. - President Roose-
nathy, his personal friend, the man
who captures and kills wolves with
his bare hands, to be United States
marshal for Oklahoma, is variously
regarded by Oklahoma people. A
mans ability to seize a coyote and
tear it's jaws apart with his hands
does not, in the opinion of some peo-
pie, qualify him for United States
marshal. There will never be occa-
sion to tear a federal prisoners jaws
apart. But on the other hand there
are those who say that marshal of
determination and handy with his gun
is needed in this territory.
Alternately lives IA miles northwest
of Frederick, the town near which
President Roosevelt spent five days in
coyote hunting last April. Though
Frederick is his nearest railroad sta
ton, he gets his mail-when not rend-

event in Fort Worth at which prizes
were to be given for the best work
in catching jack rabbits and coyotes
with dogs Cowboys and ranchmen
from all over the western and north

attendance, many of them bringing

taken. This made him known
throughout the Lone Star state Col

Not long after this Lyon was in
Washington, and he told the presi.
dent of the remarkable skill of the
young ranchman. The president was
eager to see the trick done.
Alternately with his brother started
across the prairie early one morning
expecting to catch a few wolves and
take dinner at camp he had estab-
lished on Deep Red, where his wife
and children were located Early in
the day the brothers became separated
and soon afterward John and his dogs
sighted lively coyote bounding over
the hill. They gave chase and ran
the animal four or five miles, until
in a densely wooded valley it turned
and began fighting the dogs 1t was
an unusually large animal and in a
few minutes il had killed one of the
dogs and was getting the better of
another. Then Alternately leaped from
his horse and grabbed the animal. 1t
fought furiously. tearing his clothes
and shredding his skin in places, but
he succeeded in getting a jaw hold on
the animal. and then he keeled it over
on its back and muzzled it with a rope
he had in his pocket.
On the last day of the presidents
stay on the reservation he and Aber-
nathy started out on the ride to-

left the others and galloped off in

prairie, resolved to bring back two
coyotes by noon. He had ridden not
more than two miles when the dogs
jumped two sleek young coyotes. and

FAvORS VOTING MACHINES
Commission Recommends More General
Use of Devices as Time Savers.

TRENTON, Feb. 1.-The New Jer-
sey Voting Machine commission has
submitted its annual report TO Gov
ernor Stokes and the document gen
orally commends the use of voting
machines in the state.
The report states that in cases
where mistakes were made in the re-
turns from the machines at the last
election such errors were due 10 cleo
ton officers who failed TO set the ma
chimes properly.
The chief difficulty encountered by
the use of Them creates two systems
OF voting in places where they are
used. As a remedy for this the re-
port suggests that future purchases
Of the machines be distributed so as
to completely equip certain voting
districts.
The report also recommends as a
matter of economy that three cleo
ton officers be Tao total number EN-
ployed at any one machine for the
reason thot not more than three mer
are need
II lis also suggested that for the
general education of the voting pub
lie machines be displayed in public
places in the districts in which they
are used.
