SPEECH OF THE
TOWN PUMP.

l had long talk with
man from Hessville the 9TH
er day and the few stray re-
marks he made to me about
politics set me to thinking.
If you have a little spare
time I'll give you the benefit
of my meditation.
Politics, the way it is used
today shows that at one time
the game was played in the
back woods. Where else would
we get all the terms that are
still in use? As, for example,
timber, planks, platform,
stump, machine, tall timber,
and even the term land slide.
This goes to show that at one
time it was a back woods
game or that it is still con-
nected with the woods In
some way. ! understand that
each party grows a separate
woods so that each defeated
candidate can hike to the tall
timber.
The machine that is used
now and the platforms that
produces, interest me most of
all. Little improvement has
been made on the machines
during the last hundred
years. They are all good, only
some are better than others.
The machines as they are
used now, are endowed with
superhuman ingenuity and
have, almost in every in
stance been able to do more
work than any single human
being. 1t chooses its own
timber, seasons it properly,
throws some Of it on the
: scrap pile or digs up some
: of it from under the saw
: dust.
'Beveridge is a case of
: timber being seasoned. Fair
: banks is a case Of timber be-
5 ing over seasoned. Over
: seasoned timber however is
: still good for ornamental pur-
poses. Bryan is case of tim
Der being dug up from the
: sawdust. While digging up
: Bryan, the machine pulled up
8 few slabs of Parker, but no
$ more. Taggart is a case Of
: timber that should have been
8 buried long ago. He's rotten
$ and when he is really covered
8 up they shouldn't forget to
: pour lime water on him.
$ During every campaign
$ every platform is made as
3 strong as possible. It is made
: up of planks. This work is
$ all done by the machine auto
: matically. One year the Demo
: Gratis ran in a silver plank,
$ but the Republicans went
: them one better and showed
: in gold plank and when the
: thing was over the Demo
: Gratis found out that their sil.
: yer plank wasn't good enough
for a lead pipe.

TWENTY SEVENTH INFANTRY
CAMP AT CROWN POINT
Have Hard Journeys Over Rough
Roads and Many Arrive Footsore
and are Compelled to Ride.

The 9th Infantry had one of the
hardest days march yesterday since
its start from Fort Sheridan, and
when they pitched camp yesterday
afternoon or the Doescher farm
miles west Of Crown Point many
were completely tagged out and
ready for the Doctors care. The
road from Gibson south was a rough
stony macadam covered with loose
pebbles of various sizes. causing the
marchers to slip and stumble, and
preserve anything else but the long
swinging steps that makes marching
easy. To this the heat added addi-
tional discomfort and made the day
anything but a pleasure jaunt. The
surgeons were kept busy last night
with blistered and chafed feet One
private in company A, suffered so
greatly that it was decided to order
his return to Fort Sheridan and the
possibility is he viii be discharged
from the service for permanent dis
ability He has developed what is
| known in army parlance as a fiat
foot" which means that he walks
fat footed, thus rendering him unfit
for marching. None Of those over
come by the heat were seriously
affected and they were able to be
up and about camp last night.
On to Orchard Grove.
Camp was broken this morning at
$50 and the march to Orchard
Grove was taken up. The column
reached Crown Point at 7:30 and
stopped about Is minutes to permit
a short rest. They will go to the
vicinity of Orchard Grove. where
they will make camp early today
It is possible a slight change in the
itinerary will be made and the Sat
urday's camp be made at Thayer in
stead of Thurman. and the men al
lowed to spend Sunday in camp al
the Kankakee river instead of in the
sand of Jasper county's village.
i The regiment has until July 31st
to reach Indianapolis and it IS fell
that a full days rest will enabl,
the men and horses to travel faster
and better the last stages Of tht
journey.

Thought He Was Unknown.

With this kind of an outlay to
deal with, Jerry and the late finger
nail polisher figured the dope that
they could slip over to Grown Point
get the license. come to Hammond
and get married. glide out of the
city in their touring ear and none
be the wiser 1t was a pretty plan
and it nearly broke our hearts to
spoil it, incidentally in inferential-
" disparaging of Hammond having
a newspaper that gets the news and
gets it quickly and accurately, and
publishes it when it gets it, jerome
A. Ellis discounted the fact that he
was so we'll known and tried to put
one over on US. Tt was without
doubt the gentleman's intention to
spring the story at a dinner at the
club some time hence, of how he out
witted the newspapers and the peo-
pie and got married over among the
Hoosiers. Too bad, Jerry, the hub-
bic is punctured.
The game looked easy to them and
yesterday was the day chosen to
play it. Early in the morning they
left Chicago in one of Jerry Ellis

School Column.

Miss keeney is back at her desk
again. 1t is needless to say that
pupils and parents are G lad,
The Thanksgiving vacation was
appreciated by both pupils and
teachers. Considering the fact
that so much of the success OF the
school depends upon the interest
and enthusiasm of teachers and
pupils, it is certainly wise policy
to have an occasional breathing
spell.
The total enrolment to date is
460 and still they come. Drop in
some day and see how the actual
class work of the school is being
conducted. it is public school
and you are welcome. The
teachers will be pleased and the
pupils helped and you may be
benefited

of The Rose, by Andrew Lang.
THE ROSE.
See Mignonne, hath not the Rose,
That this morning did unclose
Her purple mantle to the light,
Lost before the day be dend
The glory OF her raiment red
Her color, bright as yours il bright!
All Mignonne! in how few hours
The petals of her purple flowers
All have faded. fallen. died,
Sad Nature, mother ruinous,
That seest thy fair child perish thus

Hear me Darling, speaking sooth:
Gather the fleet flower of your youth,
Take We your pleasure at the best!
BE merry ere your beauty hit!
For length of days win tarnish it
Like roses that were loyeliest"
The sonnet was introduced into
England by Tottel's Miscellany, the
chief writer's in which were Surrey
and hyatt. Between 1881 and 1897
more than two thousand English
sonnets were written. The great
English sonneteers - Shakespeare,
Spencer and sydney, departed from
the old Italian method of rhyme.
Spencer produced IA very musical eff
feet by interlacing his rhymes as fol-
lows; abab, bcbc, cdcd, ee. Shakes
peare's scheme was, abab. cdcd. efef,

For almost n hundred years after
Milton's time the sonnet was out of
style. Wadsworth revived it and
Coleridge, Keats, Mrs. Browning and
the Rosettis all practiced sonnet
making.

The subject of penmanship is to
receive special attention from
now on. An excellent manual
has been introduced and certain
amount of time will be devoted to
penmanship drills each day. In
spite OF the increasing use of the
typewriter, the pupil who can
write rapidly and legibly has a
great advantage over his COM
panion who writes slovenly,
illegible hand. The manual
adopted is now in use in several of
the best school systems of the
country including New York City
and is producing excellent results.
The writer has used it in his own
schools for a number of years with
success. 1t is commonly sup
posed that some pupils cannot be-
come good penmen, but such is
not the case. Any boy or girl
with sufficient muscular control
to walk and brains enough to fol-
low instructions can be taught to
write a good, rapid, plain hand
which is all that is wanted.

BUILD IT TO LAsT.-All that COM
mends the lock type Of canal Is cheap
ness in time and money. 1t can be
built quicker than a sea level canal
and it will cost less. There are con-
siderations of some Importance, but
there are others Of greater conse-
quence. We are building for centu-
ries and not for years or decades, and
we want the best waterway which skill
can furnish. After 1t Is built a sea
level canal will cost less to keep In
order than would a canal with locks
it will be easier Of transit, 1t Will De
less subject to injury from war OF
earthquakes. In a quarter OF a CEN
tury a sea level canal would probably
pay it's extra cost by the smaller eX-
penditure which would be needed to
keep it in repair. Nobody can tell just
what the extra cost and time of con-
struction would be. Some Of the ex-
perts believe the cost and the time
would be no greater. Even If they
should be greater this would be nc
formidable argument against the
adoption of the sea level type. The
people are willing to pay the extra
cost, whatever it may be.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

TERROR SAVED HER.-A tale of a
paralytic and a stroke Of lightning:
For twenty-five years a woman had
been paralyzed unable to leave her
room. One night when she happened
to be alone In the house fierce storm
broke. The poor woman was terrified
by the thunder and the binding glare
of the lightning. With an effort of
which no one had believed her capable
she struggled from her bed and went to
the house of neighbor. Barely had she
reached safety when the place she had
just left was struck by lightning. The
room in which she had lived so long
was rent in two and everything in 1t
was burned or smashed. Power Of To-
comotion had been restored to the
cripple just In time to save her life

would have bankrupted the state.
The cotton plant is a dry weather
plant and its leaves are so formed
and grow on the stalk In such a man.
ner that the plant resembles an UNI
brella and acts as a shed to prevent
the rain from penetrating and rotting
its roots, as the plant requires but
little moisture, while corn, wheat,
oats, cane and millet have leaves
shaped like gutter that carries the
moisture to the root Of the plant be-
cause they are wet weather plants
and require much more moisture.
The weevil cannot live in a dry cli-
mate, 1t would be harmless In our
western territory which God intend
ed to be devoted to cotton, as the
climate was made for that plant.
He will be harmless In the rich black,
waxy and alluvial soil when devoted
to cereals.
The day of large ranches is draw
ing to a close and these lands will
have to be devoted to the produc-
tion Of suitable feed and vegetables
for preparing Of cattle for market in
smaller numbers. Hence, 1t will be
question Of a very short time until
the weevil will do for man what he
would not have done for himself. 1t
will force him to produce what Is
best suited to the climate and soil
and most beneficial and profitable to
the whole world.
The potato bug that visited the
potato gre wing states Of the Union
only a few years ago created havoc
for a time and threatened to ruin
millions Of people financially and de-
prive many millions more Of the veg
etable of the world. At that time
1t was looked upon with fear and
trembling by the people as the great
est calamity that had ever visited the
United States. But the inborn temer-
ity Of this great people was aroused.
They looked at the pest from philo-
sophical view and commenced to use
their reason and took the position
that a mere handful Of their fore
fathers at one time had overcome
and put to flight mighty nation and
a few bugs could not take their
country.
The potato bug Is now a thing of
the past, and instead of proving a
calamity. 1t has proven to be a great
benefactor, as IL forced the people to
cultivate more thoroughly, which has
resulted In an improvement In both
quantity and quality Of the potato.
So IL will be with the weevil. In af-
Ter years 10 come, HiStoTy VIII say
to those who follow us that 1t taught
the growers Of cotton where. when
and how TO produce the best and
most cotton by the least expense.
1t has been truly said that God
takes care Of his own. Some ten
years ago, the Dallas-Galveston News,
the greatest daily paper In my opin-
ion, and whose columns cannot be
bought for any one man or party,
but whose columns are free to all
who want them for anything that
will benefit the human race, saw
that diversifcation was the salvation
Of the south. They spent thousands
Of dollars to educate the people and
prove to them what was best for all
was the best for the country. Now
the much condemned weevil has been
sent to force man to do for. himself
that which Is the best.
