name I Just let slip my mind-stands
like great many other papers of these
up-to-date days, pledged to tell the
truth land everybody knows it's abso-
lutely infallible); it is sanctified in its
goodness, ana would not for all the world
deceive the dearly beloved reader; it had
got so COMPOUNDED good that it just had
to do some little piece of devilment in
order to stay on this wicked world at
all-and who was to get the brunt OF
this cold mans prank" but the work
men?
Labor, being the Atlas of modern
times, has to shoulder the burdens of a
world and plod along somehow. Some Of
us printers had grown 80 attached to the
rag baby that we just naturally thought
we owned it, lock, stock and barrel
but we made the fatal mistake of not
laying claim to the ramrod also. There
is no question about us running the
thing-Thomas says so, and it was q
buffalo case. It was up to us to run
it, and, being the only men on the staff
with sense enough to operate great
daily, we did our best to touch the high
water mark of excellence.
We got handsome pay for our pains.
Each one of us own brown stone fronts
scores of 'em-that we built with the
barrels of money we raked in doing the
Handsome" for Immutable George and
Irresistible Thomas. You see, they
were so good to us we really could not
refuse the money. But you all know
fool workmen can't stand prosperity. We
soaked up as much of our wealth in
sponging out soup joints and barrel
houses as we could-and attend to run
ming the Morning Glory properly-ever
bought lottery tickets in the fake show
schemes of our Grandpa George; board

for want of better-we rode cushions
instead of rods and were invited to eau

the State was to be saved from-from-

every now and then when some "outer'
is about to poll more votes than al
"inner," and we all know that.
Then we'd listen to the silvery-tonguei

Acts were passed in the early 'SOs making grants
of lands to railroads, and these take precedence
over the Act so gliby quoted by certain newspapers
and by which these certain newspapers are attempt
ing to make the people believe that the Trustees are
preventing them and their counties from receiving
large sums of money for good roads, when they know
or ought to know, that unless the Trustees DEFEAT
THE RAILROADS IN THEIR SUITS FOR THE
LAND THERE WILL NEVER BE A DOLLAR TO
PUT INTO GOOD ROADS, OR INTO THE SCHOOL
FUND EITHER.
About 100000 acres of land composing each
sixteenth section of the Everglades belongs to the
School Fund, but it is valueless unless draned but
If drained and reclaimed, it would be worth from
one to five million dollars but the newspapers that
are opposing drainage and reclamation are willing
that the school fund should never be doubled or
quadrupled, so long their reputed masters and
very good friends are permitted to take from the
people of Florida the 100000 acres, exclusive of the
school lands, which are worth, when drained $35
per acre. about one hundred million dollars pre-.
vent the drainage and finally buy the school lands
at their own price.
We are doing our utmost to protect the people
in their rights and for them in the end, money
for their schools and hard roads, Had no land
been granted to the railroads, outside of the
sixmie limit but instead been used for the purposes
required under the contract, towit: drainage and
reclamation, WE COULD BUILD SCHOOL HOUSES

back to work in the evening patting
ourselves on the breast and saying "Me
Pm IT"-and most of us knew we
were 1T, when it comes to playing the
immaculate jackass. But we couldn't
stand it any longer-we just had to
strike. What else could we do when we
found the door locked and barred?
George (immutable) and Tom (irresisti-
ble) both were dead sure we would break
in and work any way. We had married
the jobs long years ago, some OF us, and
a divorce procured in old age often
proves fatal. But is was just like send
ing the wife home for the summer-we
felt 80 free and easy, that we never felt
under the mat for the key.
Only few of the old T.-U. force have
gone-gone out into the wide, wide world
to see what George saw in New York
and, possibly, fell what Tom felt in Jack.
sonville-alone, all alone. Out of the
whole bunch there were but two
traitors-the one who caused the trouble
and the one who bootlicked for him. The
union holds them no grudge-except that
they hid their light beneath the bushel
so long. Manly men are scarce-awfully
scarce-and it grows painful when we
realize that out of twenty-three only
two had the courage to 60 to the great
golden calf, bow down their heads before
it and chant:
Almighty Dollar looks good to me,
Let me hide my shame in Thee.
Let the scorn of ages roll
Der my treachery-but give me gold.
Dollar, Dollar-God of Lust,
God of Wilson, God of Trust;
God of Stockton-and his crew
Sought by many, caught by few.
But, unlike Judas Iscariot of old, they
have not had the decency to 60 hang
themselves.
Sympathy is wasted on fools, but
somehow I just can't help sympathizing
with man whose intellect is SO warped
as to render him incapable of under
standing that George w. Wilson has no
more love for man who violates an
obligation to his union than he has for
any other Benedict Arnold-and when
the "cruel war" is over will have as
little use for the "rat" as he will have
need of snow shoes in the hereafter.

1t is reported that the LATEST man
has been found in n rural community
a bout eight miles from Augusta. 1t is
said that he is 50 lazy that he does not
go out of doors at all during the win
ter, but makes his small sons. of which
he has several. do all the work. He
owns a small wood lot, but instead of
getting up the winters wood as n well
regulated Maine farmer does. when the
supply runs short he sends his bows to
the lot to cut down a tree and haul it
to the house, using heifer for the pur-
nose. Some one gave the man a single
yoke for the heifer, and she thus earns
her board by serving as a beast of
burden. Another evidence of the mans
laZiness is that he does not have his
wood worked up into stove length. or
even cord wood length. but has the tree
cut in two once, so that he can get il
into the house. where he has an omen
stove. One end of the stick is showed
into the stove. while the other rests on
q box or a chair. and as fast as the
end in the stove is consumed the rest
of the stick is pushed ahead. 80 that in
time the stick is used up. The man is
considered by his neighbors to be about
on par with the woman who admitted
that she was very fond of boiled eggs

LEFT IN Barn.
Body Of Infant Abandon
ed in Belgrade.
Said to Have Been Left Unbur-
led for Many Weeks.
Strange Tale Of InhumaniIy From Peacs.
full Kennebec Town.

InfOrma ton has been received in this
city giving the outlines of an occur
renee in the town of Belgrade which
for fragrant inhumanity has seldom
been equalied in Il civilized community,
and although stories of the case as re-
ceiNed from different sources vary
somewhat, in general way they agree
in the most essential particulars
The basis Of the stories was the al
legged discovery of the body Of an in
FAINT in the barn of a farm house on
the West road. so-called, where it had
been left by its parents, who had neg
lected to give it q proper burial, but
who had instead placed it in a box and
carried it out into the barn and there
left it.
One Of the stories which was brought
to the city by 4 citizen OF the town of
Belgrade was that the body was dis
covered in the barn by some of the
townspeOple during the latter part of
last week, who reported the matter to
one Of the Selectmen Of the town. The
parents of the child, it is said, had re-
moved to New Sharon about two weeks
ago, and the official TO whom the dis
cOVcry was reported sent a constable
to New Sharon with the result that the
father OF the child returned to Belgrade
with him and took the body away for
burial.
Another story which was learned last
night from a citizen of Belgrade. who
stated that while he had not heard
stood from what he had been told by
his townSpcOple that the body had
been in the barn for the past five or
six weeks. He had not heard that the
sclectman had sent a constable to New
Sharon after the father of the child.
bit chat the man had hired a man
from New Sharon to bring him to Bel
grade after having secured a burial
permit from = physician in the former
town. and had carried the body away
from Belgrade for burial. He also said
that he understood at the time that the
child was born that il was Still-bOrn.
Sheriff Ham was seen last night re-
Sarding the case, and stated that he
had heard nothing of the case until
Tuesday. when the gentleman above
mentioned had spoken to him regard
ing it. and then it was only brought
about when the gentleman asked him
Il question to the effect as to to what
he found when he and the coroner Wis
tied Belgrade Il few days ego. AS the
sheriff had made no such trip his Gu
rosity was aroused ard upon inquiry
he was told the story about as stated
in the above paragraph.
1t would seem from the above that
whichever story is nearer correct,
Tat the body of the infant was aban-
GCned i'm the barn when it should have
been buried. which is a violation of the
iaMS of humanity and of the State.
