KENNEDYS CORNERS.

How the rain does come down and
the farmers who haven't water in their
! cellars are few and far between.
Radant's mill has started up and is
sheduled to cut about twenty-five thous-
and per day of eleven hours. He has
on hand about one million feet of birch,
rock elm, Eastwood, few scrubby pine
and some very nice hemlock The
latter will not be sawed until the bark
is peeled, which will be about the last of
June.
Farmer boy was asking few ques-
tions this week, but we are not going
to tell him anything more for a while
to see if this fellow that is in debt to us
for the last two years will not pay up.
So, no more for while.
We started in to write few of the
inequalities of the Marathon County
| fair, but had to stop as we were practi-
cally striking in the dark; that we were
striking our friends as well as those
who were not, and in doing so we were
reminded of certain president, who,
at one time, had a lot of grafters around
aim that is Credit Mobilier and Star
Route fellows and he started out to get
rid of them, and he did and nearly
killed one of them, but in doing so,
raised an awful fuss, and you all know
what he said, he compared himself to
farmer and his two sons who started
out to rid themselves of certain animals
that were stealing their chickens they
| dug them out and killed one, but by
this time this one had raised such a fog
| that he thought he would give up the
| job until some of the fog cleared away.
So with me, l will have to stop for
awhile.
"Well, then, if you will not tell us
any more about the fair, what is Stall
wart? What kind of an animal is it
and where can we find his runwayP'
"Oh, my dear boy, a Stalwart is not
an animal, like giraffe, anymore than
that his neck is pretty long at some
times and at others, it had ought to be
stretched longer. Stalwart is man; just
a common man; but he has got all the
money in the country and he generally
has mill or factory that is, he has a
shop of some kind; mill, factory, or
mine; employs lot of men, ard when
the time comes when we want To elect
some one, he says to his men, now you
| must vote for my man or | will shut up
this shop and you will get no more
work here He calls them together =
Sam, Herman, Sandy and Pat and says
here, vote this ticket, but Pat is gener-
ally from the county of Tipperary and
| does not give a d. whether he gets
work or not and he votes for the man
that makes the most noise, as witnessed
recently in Milwaukee"
''Well, is the Stalwart, republican or
democrats" 'Oh, my boy that is too
hard, give me something easier. He is
generally found in the republican ranks,
but does not vote that ticket all the
n yhn III fxrrrN
buttons off our coat trying to get US to
vote for a democrat but we like to give
man dose of his own medicine to
prove that it is good, but it is death to
him some times" For further proof
refer to Il M. l..
WAS Grover Cleveland Stalwart?"
mo, my boy, Cleveland was what
Henry Waterson, the great Kentucky
editor chirstened him, Stuffed prophet
and it would have been good thing
I for the democratic party if they had
knocked the stuffing out of him before
they let him get into the White House,
because he has, in common parlance,
put them in the soup where they will
stay for many years to come. He
was half breed"
''Oh, yes, half breed, what is that?"
'Now, my boy you have me. | know
We'll Wnat ne is, came aW1ul near De-
ing one once on time, and will tell
you about it next week"
Oh, how we long to hear the farmer
boys ''whow, gee, haw" and go where
you like the land has all got to De
plowed.
There is some snow in the woods yet
and not much sign of sowing. The
ground is the wettest it has been for
years at this time of the year.
From the amount of men going down
the street today, coming out of the
woods, street car would pay big
dividends on the money invested and
we are still waiting
