Speech Making.
MARSHALL WAS RIDlCULED
cHAs. sHIvELEY SCORES HIS POL
ICY OF EVASION AND ASKS FOR
STRAIGHT OUT DECLARATIONS
CAMPAIGN OF PERSONALITIES.

In an informal rally the Young
Mems Republican club of the city
made its debut in the campaign of 1905
last evening. Its appearance was a
spontaneous sort of affair. 1t was the
first of the regular wee'lT meetings
that are to be held until the close of
the campaign and to gre it the proper
send off the drum and bugle corps was
out and a short march was taken from
to the court house In the horticuitur-
al societys room 4 short program was
given. Announcement was made that
the club will meet each Thursday eve
ming. The enrolment for the March
ing Club was taken.
The meeting was called for the rooms
at headquarters, but the crowd that
assembled was too large to be accom-
mOdated there and adjournment was
taken to the court house. Beside the
Wayne county drum and bugle corps
the Seventh and Fourth wards were
represented by drum corps.
The talks to the members were de-
livered by A. NJ. Gardner, candidate
for joint representative from Fayette
and Wayne counties, and Charles
Shivelcy. Both outlined the issues of
the day. Mr. Gardner states he ex-
poets Wayne county to roll up 5000
majority for the republican cause.
Mr.. Shiveley appeared enthused and
spoke with fcrvor. He said he is sur
prised by the attitude of the democrat
ic candidate upon his own platform
and ridiculcd Marshall's assertion ne
would not sign a county option bill
until he had read it, rs absurd and
asked who would expect MIN to do SO.
He charged Marshall with being
afraid to come forth and commit him
self. He scorned the pettifogging tao
tics as marking cowardly actions. The
speaker laughed at Marshall,s dc lara
ton this is not to be a campaign of
personalities and declared the person

The foreman and his crew of bridge
men were striving hard to make an
impression on the select board provid-
ed by Mrs. Rooney at her Arkansas
eating esta blishment.
1.-The old man sure made a funny
deal down at Piney yesterday" oh
served the foreman, with a wink at the
man to his right.
"Whatd he do" asked the new man
at the other end Of the table
"Well. year or so ago there used to
be water tank there, but they took
down the tub and brought it up here TO
Ca bin Creek. The well went dry and
they covered it over. 1t was four-or five
feet around, ninety feet deep and
plumb in the right of way. Didn' t
know what to do with it until along
comes an old lollypop yesterday and
gives the old man So for it."
Five dollars for what?" asked the
new man.
"Well," continued the foreman, il,
noring the Interruption. "that old Jolly,
pop borrowed TWO jacks from the track
men and lacked her up out of there
and carried her home on wheels"
"What'd he do with it?' persisted
the new man.
Say, that old lollypop must've been
Yank. Nobody else could have fig
ured it out. The ground on his place
is hard, and he needed some more
fence, so he calclated 'twould be easier
and cheaper to saw that old well UP
into postholes than 'twould be to dis
'em."
Thereafter the new man bit more on
his food and less on the conversation

Long Name, Short Lived.


I'm Boston there used to be a STAN
mering college kept by Professor
Graves says Governor Guild. Next
door to this college was a flower store
Professor Graves method was to ask
each pupil what phrase he would like
to learn to say perfectly. Then the
professor would drill the pupil on that
one phrase or sentence, and when the
stammerer repeated it smoothly Il cure
was pronounced. One day a friend of
mine, who was afflicted with the slut
tering habit, decided to patronize the
professor. Before he went into the
studio, however. he stopped to look in
the flower store at some chrysanthe-
NUNS.
"'Now, my dear fellow said Pro
lessor Graves, is there anything par
ticular that you would like to learn to
say perfectly

THE HOMEWARD CALL.

Far ripping river wanders
Through the fertile valley lands,
Through the meadows and the corn
fields
Where an old gray farmhouse
stands;
And waits there for my returning
Mary with her eyes OF blue,
Hj .sa ~ e, ~: ss::,e s >ss>.s,s ~ II ~.
And her heart so pure and true.
Through the long, glad days of
childhood
We played by the rivers SIDE
And when childhood's days were
She became my promised bride,
But ambition fired my spirit,
And | left the scenes / knew,
Lett the old familiar faces,
Left my sweetheart, fair and true,
Here amid the city's hustle,
Where the night CLOVIS like the
day,
an 'oA'ihS, stiuihiHS, S'AiNihS,
Wearing youth and life away.
There, dream, faint stars are shin
ing,
And the distant hills are blue
There waits Mary in he gateway,
And her heart l know is true.
Should win in this mad struggle
All the things that lured me here,
Still my soul would go on longing
For the old life, sweet and dear
Gold has dazzled, pride misled me.
E But my folly now is through;
am going back to Mary,
And the heart | know is true
