had one old ''bossy cow that kept TO mother

for the well, which was top of a small hill.

stopped midway beside the stone wall in such a
way that two little pigs scented breakfast, and
Immediately helped themselves, likewise calf.

The Case of Senator Long.

Ewing Herbert il the Hia awatha World-l
1t is possible that some men
do not realize the greatness of
our senator, Chester l. Long.
They have rot checked him up
and are misled by unfair criti
cism. He has been so shameless
ly belittled by those who wish to
defeat him that his very meri
torious services should be men
toned for general information.
In the first place if Roosevelt
and Taft are acceptable and
they are then Senator Long
must be acceptable for he is the
friend and champion of both and
was the PRESIDENT chosen rep
resentative in congress, his
memorable speech outlining the
policy of our country relative to
Cuba. He has voted consistent
ly as Republican. He has not
been a radical, but he has been
conservatively right. Let US be
fair enough to admit his great
worth. With his experience and
prestige in the senate it would
be loss to our state to retire
him. He at least deserves another
term. He is one of the leaders
of the greatest Legislative bodies
in the world. A new man-even
if specially gifted and deserving
could not hope to gain his en-
viable power, for he has been
both fortunate in his opportuni-
ties and worthy of them. In his
time he has spoken and voted on
matters of most important ma
tional concern. He has been
true to his state, but the senate
more than the house, deals chief
ly with national affairs of all the
states and our common country.
And Senator Long has had no
mean part in the great work
done When he returns home he
will make his report to our peo-
pie and we believe he can con-
vince them that he has at no time
been false to the trust confded
in him. Our people should be
fair enough to hear him before
believing the things said against
him, which, by the way. are i'm
material and in most instances,
small-bore miSrepreSentatio

School Closes In District No. I6.

A very pleasant and enjoyable
event occurred on Saturday,
April pa. at the school house in
district No. Is, it being the last
day of school. A splendid and
interesting program was render
ed by the pupils and teacher,
Miss Viola Finch, who is to be
congratulated upon her success.
After the program was rendered
refreshments were served, and
all did justice to the ice cream
and cake. Following this the
pupils and teacher took their
places outside the school house
at the east end, while the visitors
assembled on the south side, and
Ray Hickman proceeded to take
their pictures. Those present
besides the teacher and pupils
were Mr. and Mrs. Hickman,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mallinovsky, Mrs.
Schwanbeck, Mrs. Erichs, Mrs
Finch and Messrs. Parks and
Hickman After all the excite
ment was over, all dispersed for
their several homes hoping to
meet again next year.

Feminine Strdtedy.

Ladybug, dear ladybug, fly to
my home; my plants are all lousy,
my patience all gone. The green
bugs are awful, my flowers are a
fright; ladybug, sweet ladybug,
come pity my plight.
Something like the above was
the winter wall of a Wa-Keeney
woman whose every window is
jammed full of house and garden
plants, up stairs and down stairs
and in my lady'S chamber. The
conditions were ideal for plant
varmints of all kinds and here it
was that mother aphis made her
lair and reared her young by the
millions. But she reckoned
without the board of strategy.
The Wa-Keeney lady went out in
to the garden about two months
ago and found a nice little lady
bug, wearing a red calico dress
all speckled over with black
polka dots. She carried the
poor benumed, little thing into
the house, warmed it up and do
mesticated it. When she got it
so it would come at her call and
eat out of her hand she turned it
loose among the window plants
and the way the green bugs hik-
ed was a caution to creeping
things. But vengeance was not
yetsatisfednor victory complete.
Her canary was trained to eat
bugs and green things and then
given the run of the house and
told to make himself useful as
well as ornamental and melodi-
Gus. The ladybug and the gen
tleman canary appear to under
stand each other perfectly and
work together harmoniously in
the discharge of their mutual
responsibility, and all is well in
the greenery.
Later: The bird has develop
ed a most pernicious habit of eat
ing plants and all, being especial
ly fond of young tomato and eel
cry leaves, but the ladybug is all
right. Try few.
p. S. This is no nature fake.

Some Frenchy folks pronounce
baton as If they had a spite at
the last syllable. They come
down on the latter part of the
word with both feet which causes
the front end to tip up. Webster
prefers to put the accent on the
front end which has a tendency
to hold it down about level, par
ticularly among the English and
Americans. Some people speak
the word deficit in a way to
make you think of the opening
of q bottle of pop. They pile it
all up in the middle. Webster to
the front again. A few folks
pronounce "EIiawatha" as if they
were afraid you might think he
was a Squaw. The WebSterian
pronunciation is defective mas
much as it gives the hearer no
hint of sex. Some speak of
'frigate" as if it would be crime
to boil one. Others refer to Mich
ael Angelo as if he were an Irish
Micky" instead of Italian. From
others you get the idea that there
is such a thing as a congress
sional" minister. and the land
knows a lot of 'em are needed.
Then there is poor Robert
Southey. Some seem to have
the idea that he was very short
man, and probably born near the
north pole. Being only a dead
poet, he will have to stand it.
Then there are buffay and kuffay

caused me all the pain I can

myself, but you find too much

Hart claimed that he loved his
wife and had not deserted her,
but that he did not want to live in
Iowa and tried vainly to induce
| his wife to come with him to Kan

vising his wife where he was and
thinking he could induce her to
come. Instead she had him ar
rested for abandonment and the
thought of being taken back by
an officer caused Hart to attempt
self destruction. The Iowa
sheriff came Tuesday night and
Wednesday Myerly went with
him to Topeka, where requisition
