XvII-THE BEARS IN EGYPT.

The sea was rough and the wind was stiff
And the Bears were blown in their little skiff
Far out from Greece on the Mediterranean Sc
On the most famous waters of history
For days and nights not a thing was seen;
Neither ship nor rock nor mountain green,
Until one morning when daylight broke
They saw on the horizon a puff of smoke;
And later when the day grew bright
An ocean steamer hove in sight,
And. as luck would have ii, came their way,
Cutting aside the ocean spray
They signaled the ship as best they could
Till the captain their signals understood.
He stopped the engines as near they came
And called TO the Bears to give their name
And from what port and how long at sea
And the meaning Of TEDDIES-B and G.
The Bears explained their story brief
And asked the captain to send relief.
Relief it came and the ship that day
Floated the flag Of the L. S. A.,
The Washington herald., 1907-05-26

Scores Of camels and each to buy
I'm not a circus" said TEDDY-G,
"And don't care TO buy more than two or three"
He did buy two, beauty cream
And q chocolate brown, to make a team;
And these he ordered shipped for fun
To little lad in Washington.
Said TEDDY--G to a Bedoun lad
Who was selling water which tasted bad
Please name your donkey and state price
And give me drink with little ice"
The lad replied as quick as wink
Yankee Doode's the name; now have drink
And this pleased TEDDY-G so much
He said, These Bcdouins beat the Dutch
And he gave the lad sufficient pay
To keep him in change fo7 many day.
The Teddy Bears talked long one day
With an Egyptian mummy: that's what they say;
And asked him how he liked the show
So many thousand years ago.
The kind of shoes and ties he wore,
And il his collar buttons rolled on the fcor
If BOYS played hockey then from school
And if men obeyed the Golden Rule;
At what he worked and how much pay
And how many meals he ate each day;
If girls wore hats away back so far
With feathers and flowers like cheap bazaar;
And other questions OF a curious kind
BY which the Bears tried hard to find
If SIX thousand years in time and place
Made any difference in the race
The mummy laughed" said TEDDY-G,
Till he split his face into two or three,
But his tongue was mum on history"
drawing was made by TEDDY-B
OF the Bears climbing up the Sphinx to see
If he would talk and the secret tell
How some folks by luck got on so well
While Others worked and their lifetime spent
Like toiling treadnills which nowhere went
But the Sphinx was silent and stared ahead.
And looked as though all his folks were dead
He didn't smile he didn't wink
Nor muscle move nor seem 10 think;
The Washington herald., 1907-05-26

Six thousand years before Washington.
The land where the dead alone is great,
Whose century records its stones relate.
The land where the Pharaohs lived and ruled,
Where Moses in leadership was schooled,
And Euclid, too, where It's said that he
Invented the problems Of geometry.
The land of obelisks upon which appear
The ages records in figures queer.
The land where pyramids built high OF stones
Are big enough to hold the bones
OF all the kings they ever had
For SIX thousand years, both good and bad.
The land where Cleopatra regned,
The famous queen who entertained
Anthony and Caesar, and for her smile
Was named the cnchantress of the Nile
The land of the Sphinx whose broken face
Tells very little about his race
The land where skies are always fair,
Where men ride donkcys everywhere
But said TEDDY-G Dead things don't count
This dromedary here I'll mount,
And show these Arabs that a Yankee bear
Can make the sand fly anywhere"
And mount he did and ride in style
Down Cairo street for half mile
And when he stopped he was asked to try
The Washington herald., 1907-05-26

And gave the Bears welcome grand
As good as anything they had on hand.
The ship was bound for a Southern port
And the following day the Egyptian court
Gave audience TO the Teddy Bears
And told them the best they had was theirs:
Passes for trains and for the River Nile,
Steamers to take them every mile;
And at every town free hotel
And a guide who could talk the English well.
They were now in Egypt whose fame was won
The Washington herald., 1907-05-26

While TEDDY-G spoke in his ear,
A joke or two and some words Of cheer.
I'VE must 60 home" said TEDDY-B,
And all our friends in the mountains see /;
A steamer sails this week, they say,
Which will take us back to the L. s A.,
And Let us off for two days in Spain,
Where a ride Is planned on a special train,
The Washington herald., 1907-05-26

Which will take us to the Spanish court,
And bring us back to Gibraltar fort
Said TEDDY-G. 1t will be happy day,
When we get back to the L. S. A,
But Of all the things that upset me.
The one that's worst IS a wabbly sea

DESERVED IT ALL.

On April % Theodore Estes son
of NJ. X. Estes, sheriff of Nelson
county, Va. was shot and killed
by w. Ct. Loving, eX-county
Judge. On the preceding evening
the young man had invited the
daughter of Mr.. Loving to go
driving with him. She was a Wis
itor at the home of the County
Clerk. She accepted the invita-
ton. He invited her to drink
something from a bottle. She did
so. Soon she became dizzy,
sick and unconscious. While in
that condition he mistreated her.
On the following morning her
father was informed of her sick
ness. He went to his daughter
md heard from her own lips her
account of what happened. That
vas enough. The father found
che young man and killed him.
The trial of Judge Loving was
concluded on Saturday at Hous-
on, Va. The jury at once re-
turned verdict of acquittal.
This should be an object lesson
20 both young men and young
women. We doubt not the pun
ishment meted out to the young
nan was nothing more than he
deserved.

WHISKY PUTINSIDE CRUSTS
OF BREAD.

In another column is an account
of license of one Carmichael In
Lexington being revoked. Mayor
Combs received several letters tell
ing of Carmichael.
IN one of the letters it was
charged that it was the custom OF
the saloon keeper to cut open a
loaf of bread, remove the interior,
leaving nothing but the crust. and
then insert a bottle of whisky so
that an apparently innocent look
inc loaf was in reality whisky
bottle in disguise. The woman
who sent this letter to the Mayer
said that she had on one occasion
been compelled to eat the crust
which came around q bottle of
whisky which her husband had
bought on Sunday from the Car
michael saloon and grocery, as
there was nothing else in the house
to eat and her husband had spent
all his and her money for whisky.
This compares very favorably
with the conduct of a Mt. Sterling
grocery firm who sent a basket of
tomatoes" to neighbOr local OPP
ton town and had secreted under
the tomatoes a bottle of whisky.
Starting point, destination,
method of transportation, name OF
senders, name of informant and
other facts connected Herewith
can be given if necessary. Say
reader, how do you like this for
obedience to law

Wedding Reception.

In honor of E. ). Helburn, of
MiddlesbOro, and bride Miss
Stella Thomson) whose marriage
we noted in our last issue, Mr..
and Mrs. Jno. $. Frazier rendered
reception on Wednesday after
noon. The 140 guests were re-
ceived by a dozen ladies'. The
colors used in decorating were
white and green. The table orna-
mentatiOn was especially noticeable
in smilax and sweet peas, sur
rounding Cupid's pond. MINIS,
ices and cakes were in same cOlors,
the ices being served in lily shap-
ed bowls. Each guest received ast
a souvenir a tiny slipper. The
reception was a charming event in
social life-a prophecy we hope of
the future happiness of the bride
and groom.

printed on the stamped envelopes

The action of the various partic-
ipants in the Republican State
Convention was really amusing fol
the reason that their leaders were
very much out of harmony; Judge
Holt, temporary chairman, was
very much of temperance advo-
cate while the permanent chairman
took the opposite view and so ex-
pressed himself. A house divided
against itself was this course, and
according to the scriptural decla-
ration it must fall. Here goes it..

Great Pressure on Governor

an influential citizen of Louisville

Louisville. KY, June %, 1907.
Dear Bro. Thunderstorm pa
was duly received and fully enjoy
ed. Your utterances on the tenn
perance question are all right. We
feel that a great point has been
gained in Louisville by the APP
pointment of Mr.. Bingham as
Mayor by Governor Beckham.
You can hardly understand the
great pressure brought to bear
on him to make a purely political
appointment with reference to his
own personal interests. He had
the courage to decide on the moral
issues involved, and has given a
token of his sincerity in friendship
for temperance, which ought to be
recognized generally. All his
friends of temperance should make
his victory theirs also. His course
here in Louisville would be a good
topic for another of your strong
editorials. If you do say anything
on that line, please send me a copy.
Your sincere friend.

Lid On and Screwed Down.

The first order issued by the new
Mayor, Bingham of Louisville, Z
was through the Board of Safety
to the effect that all saloons must
be closed from Saturday night IL
o'clock till Sunday night II o'clock.
The saloon keepers were notified
that violation meant cancelia-
ton of their licenses. The secre-
tary of the board issued the order.
There are over 900 saloons in
Louisville. The Mutual Protect
i've Association including all of the
salOOnists except about 100, were
reported as disposed to violate the
law and as being willing to close
until / o'clock p. m. They evil
IDENTIFY knew that the new Mayor
meant business and were afraid to
take any chances. How well they
observed the order will be seen /
from this report in Mondays Cou-
rier:
That the lid was on in Louisville
good and proper on Sunday there
is no room for doubt. 1t was plain
to the most unobservant citizen
that something out of the ordinary
was being experienced in the Ken
lucky metropolis. Oldest officials
in the Police Department said that
the city was closed tighter from a
liquor viewpoint than ever known
before. 1t was conceded by al
most everybody that successful
test had been made as to the clos.
ing of saloons on Sunday.
No man ever felt better over the
days work than Mayor Bingham, 1
who warned the saloon keepers in
statement that he meant business
and that If any person was caught
selling whisky Sunday he would
have his license revoked.
There was great exodus to the
parks where stimulants were sold.
The police did excellent work to
see that the order of the Board of
Safety was carried out to the let
ter in the city.
Mayor Thomas Combs, of Lex
ington. and John Skain, Demo-
cratic nominee for Mayor to sue
coed Mr.. Combs and Edward o.
Leigh, secretary to the Governor,
were present and pronounced the
attempt success. Six arrests
were made.
Not single arrest was made for
drunkenness. On the Sunday be-
fore a large number of arrests
were made. Hotels observed the
order. Jacksonville, Ind, across
the river from Louisville was as
near dry as the limited police
could make it.
