OUR BETTE.

Written for the Adair County News1
You've never met our Bette though
We sometimes call her Bet;
You'd think she's awful nice, I know.
If you had only met.
Then she is 80 familiar, too,
Most all the people say,
And it surely would delight you.
To hear our Bette play.
Truth may seem strong you will allow
When this strange truth you know,
The fashion that adorns her now
She wore a month ago.
The dressing Bette keeps in store
Is like the eiderdown,
The Queen of Sheba never wore
A finer fitting gown.
She wears a comb upon her head,
AS most of ladies do,
But never lies upon bed
Or wears a lady's shoe,
And very seldom cares to prlmp
Unless she's going out.
They never cut our Bettie's guimpe
Or her Kimona out.
When on strict lines for conscience
sake
In duty's paths she walks,
A tail will follow in her wake
Though Bette never talks.
Nor does she make vain display
Of pretty feet and skirts,
Or of a special winning way,
Our Bette never fiirts.
Though blessed with charms she does
not try
To captivate the men,
For just between yourself and ],
Our Bettie's pet hen.

FISH STOCK FREE

House of Representatives u.
S. Washinton, D. c.. April 2,
1906. Editor Times: | would be
giau II you would announce in
your paper that now is the time
for parties who wish to stock
ponds, lakes and streams of all
sorts with fish to make applica-
tion to the Government hatcher
les at Washington. There is no
reason why every body of water
in the Third district should not
be stocked with an abundant
supply of the finest fish in the
world, as the Government places
fish in the hands Of those who
ask for them absolutely free of
charge. Application for blanks
for those who desire these fish,
must be made to the Congress-
man, who under the rules of the
Fish Commissioner, has to en-
dorse each application. Fish dis
tribution begins in June and
ends late in the fall. For this
reason, applications from Ken
lucky should be filed as early as
possible, as the Kentucky dis
tribution is among the first
served.
Yours very truly,

BRYAN FOREVER!

The Elizabethtown independ-
ent says:
We are neither a prophet nor
a son of a prophet. but we are
going to make the prediction
that when w. ]. Bryan, who is
now making a tour of the world,
lands on American soil next fall.
he will be given an ovation and
a consequent boom for the
Presidency that will land him in
the White House, March A, 1906.
despite the combined wealth and
corruption that may be arrayed
against him. Events in the last.
few years, especially in the last.
two, have so indicated every
position taken by him during the
last three presidential campaigns
that no formidable opposition TO-
him will be manifested in the
next national convention.

THE CATTLE TRADE.

So far cattle trade has been an
April disappointment, says the
Chicago Live Stock Journal.
Those who were confident of a
repetition of the spring rises of
the past two years have failed to
detect any sign of them. And
the country appears to be well
supplied with cattle. They come
in rushes to take advantage of
1Oa20 cent advances and are held
back to repair damages that are
the inevitable result Of such
scrambles. This week the COM
mission trade wires and writes
the country this INDUCTION. Get
your cattle in. A week later the
appeal: Hold 'em back" is
substituted and so the pendulum
swings, this week a break on a
big run, next week recovery of
the loss on light receipts. Mean
while the feed prospect does not
improve. Corn is in strong posi-
ton and refuses to be dislodged.
There is doubtless a lot of wet
corn in the county that cannot
be shelled and much of which
will not summer keep. Owners
of this if sagacious, will feed it.
and its presence has been re-
sponsible for starting many cat
tie on feed. Everybody hopes for
an advance in beef values, but
none are willing to stake their
rep ia ion on a prediction.
Southern cattle will soon be mov-
ing, competing with short-fed
stuff and the coal miners strike
a cloud on the horizon.

LET US GO A FISHING.

O, let us go a fishing
Where the stream is clear and cool.
Where the graceful willow hedges
The deep waters of the pool.
See the sun is growing warmer
And it's beams are soft and bright
AS they kiss the sweetest odors
Of the dogwood's bloom of white.
o, let US go fishing
In these rhythmic days of Spring,
And be gladdened by the robins
And the lullabys they sing.
Behold the skies are fairer
Than they've ever been before
AS we see our trembling shadows
In the ripples by the shore
Who would not go fishing
When the fields of wheat are green,
When the very trees are joyous
In the rich respondent sheen?
How our souls are set aquiver
AS we watch the winding stream,
And we tryst alone with nature
AS we wait and watch and dream.
And while we sit a fishing
There seems mirrored from on high
The glory of Being
Who ascended to the sky.
Let the men who went a fishing
On the waves of Gallilee,
We may hear his sweet voice saying
''Come, thou friend, and follow me. ,
And, o, would you be fisher
Of the weary sons of men,
You may lift the hardest burdens
And give peace to men again.
Then when harvests all are garnered
And the sheaves are in the fold
There will come benediction
The most blessed ever told.

PURE BRED STOCK.

In the Southern States there
has long been a sentiment and
preference for pure-bred stock
from Kentucky, says Prof. D. w.
May, director of the Porto Rico
Experiment. Station. find this
prevailing in the West Indies and
doubtless a traveller in the South
American countries finds there
the knowledge of the excellence
Of Kentucky horses and cattle.
Trade in live stock in Spanish
speaking countries is increasing,
and it is one that Kentucky
breeders should look into. At
the present time the Argentine
is the greatest buyer of imported
pure-bred live stock in the world.
The greater>pa of this business
goes to England, and it behooves
the American breeders to win
more of it. Mexico is buying
considerable live stock, and she
is naturally looking to the States
as a source, while quite a number
of cattle and horses are going in
to the west indies. especially
Cuba. Porto Rico, though of
limited area, will buy quite a
number of horses, cattle and
pigs. Of the animals imported
into the island already, by far
the larger number are of Ken
lucky breeding. The horses and
cattle found on the island at the
tim e Of American occupation
were descendants of the early
importations Of the Spanish ex-
plorers and have had no infusions
Of new blood for several hum
dred years, with the exception
of cattle, and that of limited ex-
tent. About fifty years ago
theirs was an Importation Of Zebu
cattle into the island, and indica-
tons of this breed may still be
seen in the work cattle found on
the plantations.

Nervous School Children.

Statistics gathered by various School
Boards, show that a large percentage
of school children suffer from different
forms of nervousness, mild or exagger-
ated. Some showed a tendency to mel
ancholy, others mental depression, and
many the nervous twitchings of mild
chorea, or st. Vitus' dance. Most of
these troubles can be overcome by
proper food, sufficient sleep, and DR..
Caldwell's Qaxative) Syrup Pepsin. 1t
is a universal childrens' medicine, be-
cause, if good food is eaten, it insures
that the food is properly digested and
Indigestion and nerve poisons properly
thrown out. 1t is pleasant to take,
and safe and sure in results. Try it.

RUSSIAN CABINET
PREMIER STOLYPIN HAS FINAL.
LY SUCCEEDED.
The octoberists Came to His Rescue
at the Last Moment and Will Sup
port Him on Certain Promises
Soon Be Announced.

ST. Petersburg, July 31.-It is under
stood that the question of the reor-
ganizatiOn of the cabinet may be de-
cided at a conference between the en-
peror and Premier Stolypin today. The
premier has already started for Peter
hof with the result of his negotiations
upon the subject. A number of form
er Octoberists, who declined to sign
the Viborg manifesto, have now con-
stituted themselves into a party for
the peaceful reconstruction of the
ministry.
Stolypin agreed tentatively to GER
tain conditions which they proposed
and thereupon a number of October
list liberals offered to accept office in
the cabinet. The Associated press was
informed from high source late this
afternoon that Premier Stolypin con-
siders the reorganization of the cabi-
net to be an accomplished fact.
At late hour this afternoon the
premier issued a statement that all
untitled portfolios had not been en-
tirely decided on. This may postpone
the announcement of the new cabinet
for few days, but it is an accepted
fact that a cabinet has been virtually
agreed upon by the emperor

There Was Large Attendance
and a Nice Line of Exhibits in All
Departments.

/ Grand Forks, N D., July 31.-The
Red River Valley exposition opened
here at 10 o'clock this morning. There
seems to be some kind of a weather
hoodoo for Grand Forks fairs. Yes
terday it rained heavily. Today no
rain had fallen UP to 2 o'clock, but 1t
was very cloudy and the indications
We're for moisture
There is a splendid exhibit in all
departments of the fair, many of the
exhibitors from the state fair at Far
go being present, in addition to local
and others from nearby counties.
The attendance this morning was
large despite the threatening weather
and if the rain does not fall the show
will be a success. This was children's
day and the youngsters were out in
full force. Tomorrow is North Dakota
and Minnesota day
The race track is very heavy as a
result of yesterdays rain but the offic-
ials had a force of men at work this
morning and put it in shape for the
races this afternoon. The events to-
day are the 2:40 pace and trot and
the 2:25 pace and trot. There are nu-
merous entries in each.

IN NEW YORK AND A MOMENT

DEATH BY THE VICTIMS
BROTHER IN-LAW.

New York, July Vengeance for
the murder he committed was visited
swiftly upon an Italian, named Saliva
tore Siammonco, after he had shot and
mortally wounded his countryman
Salvatore Cardone, on South street
near Fulton market today.
Hardly a minute after the shooting
Siammonco was stabbed in the heart
and instantly killed by Giuseppe Toe
co. All three were peddlers who were
buying fish at the market. Tocco and
Carodone, who are brothers-in-law
were engaged in conversation, when
Siammonco whipped out a revolver
and fired at Carodone who fell with a
bullet wound near the heart. The as
sassin fled, pursued by Tocco. A block
or two away Tocco caught up with
Slammonco and closed with him. In
the struggle that ensued Tocco pulled
q long bladed fish knife and plunged
1T into the other mans chest. The
blade penetrated the heart and Siam
monco fell dead. The tragedy was
witnessed by scores of market men
and pedestrians who thronged the
street but 1t was enacted SO swiftly
that not a man could interfere. Toe
co was arrested.

Des Moines, July 31.-Interest is
still centered on the state central com

filed by the friends of George d.
Perkins, candidate for governor

Is said another chairman will attend

Cummins following will "stand-pat''
and await the calling to order of the
convention. The committee will not,
perhaps, reach conclusion before to-
night or tomorrow morning.
The majority of the members are
said to be opposed to taking any action
which might possibly result in two
state tickets, and teh impression seems
to be getting stronger that the COM
