Fl HINT OF
SOCIALISM
The Little Chickens and the
Big Rooster.
THE HUMAN FAMILY.
A Story the Young People
Will Read-May Put Your
Thinker to Work.

BY P.s. UNDERWOOD. oD.-CHAPTER III.
But the chickens were getting so
restive that the rooster said to
some of the clever ones:
Come, now, you preach to the
chickens and tell them that God
made one rich and the other poor,
and, if you will do as l tell you,
you can live off my pile of worms
and need not scratch for a living.
You tell them that poverty is
blessing. that they must be con-
tented with their lot and must not
rebel against the will of the Most
High"
This quieted them for while.
for they said: IF we haye a hard
game here, we shall have just so
much better time hereafter" But
it was only for a while, for this
poverty was awful, and the upper
classes used to say that the lower
classes really liked to live in dirt
and filth, but the chickens said:
I'VE have no time to plume our
feathers or even to take a dust
bath. We are busy trying to get
enough to eat. Give us enough
to eat and you will see that we
will keep clean. Now. see here.
you talk about diSa0sing of the
surplus. Why can you not give it
to us and let us dispose of it by
eating it up?"
"All right" said the rooster,
that will be very agreeable to
me. Now you can buy my stock
of worms, and for every worm you
buy you shall pay me a worm and
a half"
well, where did you get that
notion!" asked the chickens.
why, do you suppose that l
am such a fool as to sell my stock
unless l get a proft3 l want you
to understand that l am a busi-
ness rooster, and business is busi-
ness"
But soon the restiveness of the
chickens increased and the old
rooster said: I'VE will found
charities, and l shall ask you all
for subscriptions to them. l will
give ten worms every day if you
will give the same, and we will
get up charitable organization So
cieties for the alienation of the
sufferings of the poor"
"Oh. yes, said the ungrateful
chickens, you take a thousand
worms from us every day aud give
us back ten and think you are very
holy and righteous"
well, them" said he, Il will
build a library and establish a col
lege where political economy may
be taught"
But they were still uugrateful
) and said: We don't want IL
braries. We have no time to 60
them. We have had too much po
ltical economy. All we want is

jury in the trial of the 800, 900
damage suit of Sam B. Cook
against the Post Dispatch returned
a verdict this morning awarding
$4,000 to the plaintiff.
The verdict was signed by ten
of the jurors, w. II. Cochran, a
real estate dealer of Columbia, and
John L.Dodd, farmer and stock
man of Missouri Township, refus-
ing to concur.
| Nine votes are enough to estab-
lish a verdict in civil suits in Mis-
souri,. The jury was out about
half an hour.
On the first ballot the vote stood
ten to two in favor of Mr.. Cook.
Four of the jurors were in favor OF
giving him the full amount asked
for. The others demurred, and
after a short deliberation it was
decided to cut this amount in half
and award the plaintiff $25, 900 or
each count of his petition, the
first asking for compensatory
damages and the other for punitive
damages because of alleged libel

Mr.. Taft concluded his message with

That the Cubans had not given hope
of a settlement between themselves,
