W0RTHlN6TON ADVANCE
PUBLISHED RvERY FRIDAY.
THOs. DOvERY, PUBLISHER.

The Crookston Times wants dem
ial over Jake Jacobson's signature
that he is not candidate in the in
terest of the railroads and the lumber
corporations. Jake's past record is
sufficient answer to the charge. For
twenty-five years the LacquiParle
statesman has been using all the pow
or at his command to make the big
corporations ofthe state treat the pub
lie fairly, but has never been in posi-
tion where he could crack the whip.
Two years ago he was defeated for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor by the lumber and pine land gang
and man placed at the head of the
ticket more to the liking of the gang
mentioned. Just SO long as the Shev-
Inns, Smith, ct al, dominate nomina-
tions the democrats will elect their
candidate. Its time the republican
party pried itself away from this
undesirable element and nominated a
man of the people. Let the demo-
cratic party have monopoly on gang
rule. Heron Lake News.

HIS THOUGHTS.
1 saw her yesterday upon the street.
Inc woman that I swore to Iowa
through ife
she Went away soon after that, and now
l think she is a writing teachers wife!
Cad, how she's changed from what I
used to know;
Her nose is straight and sharp and
say! her chin
Is just a little bit too short for looks,
While all her dimples they have sunk
Why, In the olden days, her eyes were
That glowed upon me with exquisite
Twin orbs of light that, filled with love,
shone like the bliss of heaven from her
face!
The apple blossoms in her cheeks were
pink
AS any on yon rosy tinted tree
But now-theres nothing of these charms
About her sallow face that I can see!
I must have been a giddy fool at best
To think I ever loved that woman so.
I'll bet if she would have me NOW. I'd
"NO"
There's not a blessed thing that speaks
to me
OF what she was in years now gone
for aye
A dream I long have cherished in my
Was rudely shattered when I passed
her by!
HER THOUGHTS.
Well, gracious me, do believe twas he
But what a substitute for Charley Sly!
He's fat and stout and Oh! his nose was
red
And did you note the color of his tie?
His overcOat was made six years ago,
His hat was soiled with dust and CRIME
and dirt!
And he is rich as Midas, too, they say,
The stingy thing. with whom used to
Well, who would think that man was
once my beau?
That once he wrote such pretty lovers
rhymes?
I almost ran away and married him
And let him hold my hand-Ah, many
times!
I we'll recall one dreamy night in June,
We foated by the Cedar's nectared
side;
I blush to say his arm was round my
waist,
While we were drifting with the Jew
eled tide!
He softly quoted prose and verse galore
And told me how he loved and wor-
SHIPPED me!
And when cloud concealed the silv'ry
moon,
The kiss he gave me not soul could
see!
Well, we'll! How kind Fate was to me
back there
To save me from yoke Of life with
him
To live with such pudgy, awkward
brute,
Would turn my cup to aloe at the brim !!
The world is Oh! so happy, since he
passed,
The nectar in my glass is rosy hued,
And when 1 think how nearly I was
caught,
1t makes my spirits rise in gratitude!
I'm, on, so glad, that fortune took mo
hence
And thankful that some fairy who
could scan
The future led me far away from home
And saved me from that AWFUL,
HORRID man!

Gemini people are restless. They
move all the time, and you always
have to ask them where they are liv-

atoms, and think Bryan will have a
walk over. They are foolish, and
think Taft won't get the co}ored vote.
They are brutally honest, and gener,

baby is ugly.
The June announcements will be
made, and Madam Gould will don her

marry Prince Sagan; whereat her Boni
whom she had to forcibly detatch,
will challenge Helie to come out AID

will buy some navy plug, and Bony
buy the same, and both will hurry
up. lest soma bold fighter dies, the
dudes will spit tobacco juice in one
anothers eyes. The seconds will
cheer on the fight, the band will play
tune, and Boni will hit Helie with a
silver-ribbed spittoon; receiving which
the doughty Prince will dawn him in
the mud, and wash mis- hated features
with a wet tobacco cud.
And then John D. will get in line,
With sundry growls and hollera,
And pay his June installments on
That thirty million dollars.
