ONE WAY OUT.

As the melancholy biennial days OF
multitudinous candidates draw near we
are reminded of the story OF the late Nat
Head, once governor of New Hampshire,
who sometimes surprised those who ap-
preached him to gain his political infiu-
ence by his witty parrying of their re-
quests. Colonel Barrct. an estimable Off
cial upon the governors staff, died, and
with unseemly haste his would-be sue
cessors began to push their claims, even
while his body was awaiting burial with
military honors.
One candidate. somewhat holder than
the rest, ventured to call upon Governor
Head. thinking to ascertain ths bent oi
the governors mind upon the important
question,
Governor" he asked, not to speak ir
manner too positive, do you think
you would have any objections II was
to get into Colonel Barretts placer"
The answer came promptly: NO,
don't think | should have any objections

There has been much discussion on the

with entire certainty. The discussion IS
now on again. The air can he traced

Charles |, and the doggerel verses that are
sometimes sung to 1t are said to be nearly
as old In the old English song, the
name used was "Nankce Doodle" and 1t
is said that this name was applied in de-
rsion to Oliver Cromwell. Now anti
guardians claim that the word yankee"
was derived from the Indian pronuncia-
tion of the word English" which they
called "YenKhecs." but that the English
soldiers in the French and Indian war
applied it to the colonials In derlsion.

Doodle song beginning with the words:
Father and ! went down to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin,
And there we saw the men and boys
AS thick as hasty puddn'-

l775. The word Yankee does not occur In
these verses, but they were sung to the
tune known as Yankee Doodle Now,

DOG MEAT GAINING
France md Germany are both Killing
More CANNES for Food.

| On account of the restrictions placed
upon the importation into France and
| Germany of American meat products, the
| flesh of dogs and horses has become an
appreciate article of domestic commerce
| in those countries, finds the Brooklyn
| Times
Neither the French nor the German
government will accept the certificate of
| inspection provided by the American gov
| eminent for meat products, although 1t
| generally is conceded to be the most rigid
in its requirements that is provided by
any nation.
| A few years ago the department of
| agriculture required microscopic exam
| nation of the meat killed in this country
! not because 1t would disclose evidence of
unwholesomeress that could not as well
be discovered through other means Of cX-
| animation, but because European govern
| mcnts manifested desire that American
| meats, intended for export, should be cx-
aminod The microscope examination put
| the meat packers to heavy expense. This
was not objected to SO long as the exam
| nation certificate of the American gov
! crnment was accepted by foreign govern
m"nts as satisfactory; but when France
| and Germany placed additional restric-
! tons upon American meats, and insisted
| upon having imported meats examined
| miCroscopically on arrival in those coun-
| tries, it was concluded that such cxana-
| tons here of meats intended for export
| was unnecessary. and it was abandoned.
The American law provides for the most
rigid examination of meats, and the
! French government, particularly, and the
German government in a general way
| based on years of experience An
ante-mortcm examination OF the ami
NAL is made, and for all meats
intended for Interstate or foreign
commerce repeated inspections are
made at all stages of the preparation of
the meat. These inspections, in tho opin-
| ion of the government officials are an
absolute guarantee of the purity and
whoiesomenoss of the product--ever more
thorough than tho former microscopic eX-
1minatiOns-yct the way, Will not rcCos-
nze the American certificate.
The action OF France practically eX-
cludos American meats from that coun-
| try. As their is not sufficient domestic
supply Of meats to meet the demand, re-
| sort necessarily is had to other kinds Of
meats. Meantime, however. French pro-
vision merchants have requested the gov
eminent 20 accept the American meat
certificate. and thus raise the embargo on
! American meat products.
! In Germany the situation is even worse
than it Is In France. Good wholesome
meats command extravagant prices
prices which the average person cannot
pay. The scarcity of meats and meat
products mas been taken advantage of by

". 5. BellOmy Wries an interest
ing Letter For the
News Readers.

In response to our request w. S.
Bellomy has contributed short des-
cription of his recent trip to his old
home in Hubbardsville, West Virginia.
He writes:
In company with my family l left
Troy on December 10th and went as
far as Spokane, where we laid over
day waiting for our train, which started
at 8 o'clock the following morning.
The coach we were in was taken all
the way to St. Joseph, Mo-, where we
changed cars. Our trip through was a
pleasant one, but as soon as we reached
the Big Sandy river both my wife and
myself became homesick. But we
went on, and when we reached Hub
bardstown we stopped off to visit a
sister of Mrs. Bellomy who lives two
miles up the river. We started to
make the trip on foot, and after we had
gone as far as we thought we ought to
we found from inquiry that we were
half mile above the point we were
looking for. The country had changed
till we did not know it, When we
reached the home no one was there,
and in spite of the lateness of the hour
we started back to town, where we
arrived about midnigh and after some
difficulty got some supper. The next
day we started out on another visit, and
with considerable difficulty got team
to take US part OF the way Horses in
that country are extremely scarce and
only the well-to- do farmers can afford
them.
While there l saw man plowing
for his corn crop. He drove mules
and used an old side-hill plow.
found he could use no other kind o.
plow on account OF the steepness O
the land, which in that section is SC
steep that about all mule could dc
was to climb up without pulling any
thing. 1t had been a puzzle to me
why the farmers in that section of Wes
Virginia did not use binders to harves
their crops. but | had not been there
long when 1 discovered that binde
would not stay right side up. No
only is the land steep but the farms ar,
covered with rocks, many of them 81
large you could not drive a wagoi
through the field Instead OF wagon
l saw the farmers using low sleds tha
would not tip over.
1t was Thursday when we reached
Hubbardstown, and we got out on tn,
creek on Saturday. While here W,
saw people riding along the road Oh
/ horseback, each carrying big lonl
sack. We discovered they were takin,
corn to the mill and returning brough
back grist { f meal. visited one @
my old friends, and at meal time wa
served with some excellent corn bread
sweet potatoes and opossum, and tel
you l enjoyed it.
Had the pleasure of attendin,
some fine meetings. The Baptist
held two weeks meeting and ha(
excellent success. II was while at
tending these meetings that / wa.
taken with rheumatism and for a weel
l was confined to the house. Afte
that l was able to hobble and attended
more meetings. Then l was agai1
taken bad and concluded to get bacl
to Idaho as soon as possible. I coul(
not walk and hired friend to take u
to the station. He hitched onto on
of those long sleds, and after putting
on some straw was laid on it, and to
gether with my family went at snail
pace. 1t took US five days to retur
home. l was about all in, but hav
