Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1906-06-28

Last Sunday when a Presby-
terrain minister said in his pull
pit in the City of Denver that
nothing but death of Roosevelt
could prevent Bryan's election
in 1908, the staid old Presby.
terian audience rose and cheer
ed for ten minutes. There are
two remarka BILE things about
this. namely: Presbyterian
congregation cheering a politi-
cal suggestion in church on
Sunday, and a Presbyterian
minister putting Teddy into the
bill of exceptions. His strict
observance of orthodox truth
should have caused him to have
omitted Roosevelt -Centralla

What's Lover

W "Nh - ANNNf
Pray tell me what is love?
A thing
Of which the birds
And poets sing?
A melody
Intangible,
But wondrous sweet
And beautiful?
Or is it some rare
Prize
That money buys,
Or is it something vague.
A hint
Which finds development
In printH
Or is it sacrifice
And shame
Endured
In that dear name?
Or is it that plain
Sentiment
Which pays the bills
For clothing, food and rent?
Or is it heart and soul and
mind
Blind
To the world; clear-eyed and
true
To itself;uready to do
Aud to suffer; willing to give
Or to take;
To live
Or to die for its own sake?
Or is it pain and longing,
Eyes wet
With tears
That never can forget?
Or is1it--
Pray tell me what is love?

A Scarcity of Pigs in England =.

For some time past pigs have
been scarce. aud, as a natural
consequence, bacon and all hog
products have been raising in
price. 1t is really extraordi.
nary, considering how very pro-
life an animal is the pig, that
producers in this country can
not do more towards supply
ing the steady and continually
increasing demand for pig meat.
It is a great reflection upon the
enterprise of British farm ers to
consider that for this product
alone upwards of els, 100000 is
sent abroad. From the Groc-
cry.
