For November

A table and pitcher,
A tumbler and stand,
A man in double breasted clothes,
And music by the band;
A last appeal to reason,
A crowd with cheering daft
Some folks think it's Brayn,
And others think it's Taft.
A speaker on Pullman,
A little pantomime,
A hasty diagnosis of
The perils of our time:
A farewell and promise,
A benediction aft
Some folks think it's Bryan,
And others think it's Taft.
A man with twenty dollars,
Another man with ten,
A swift exchange of challenges,
And two excited men;
A show down and wager,
A banknote and a draft
Some folks think it's Bryan,
And others think it's Taft.
A homestretch and tumult,
A spyglass and shout,
A feverish excitement while
They try to make them out;
A flying dust cloud leading.
A second cloud abaft-
Some folks think it's Bryan, .
And others think it's Taft.
In the old Roman calendar Novem-
Der was the ninth month. Blessings
fell early, and the empire gave thanks
jnst before the first frost; but about
700 B. G. the trusts left the. people so
little to be thankful for. after nine
months that it was decided to wait a
while and see if anything would come
of the Roman elections. Numa ac-
cordingly made November the ele-
venth month and had Thanksgiving
fall with the first SHOWS, notwith-
standing the month gets it's name
from the Latin novem (nine.)
The frisky colt will sniff the air and
hear the whistlling quail, and the
festive calf will indicate the zenith
with his tail. The frost will paint tn g
:orest with a deep and redder dye,
jhe hired man will shuck the corn.
he pumpkin vine will pie, the poll
iicians will hit up their Office holding
'eud, and the modest maple tree will
,lush and come out in the nude.
And then the presidential race
Will hold its royal sway,
And everyone will exercise
His liver, anyway.
He'll bounce it up and down be-
tween
His pancreas and gizzard,
And waltz it through his inner
works
From A around to lizard,
And even though his present race
May prove to be in vain,
He'll have the health and strength
to run
Sometime, perhaps, again.
At any rate the candidates will dash
lto the stretch, and both Bills 90 the
Visp will make themselves quite hard
, ketch. They'll squirt in spirited
to many wild arousers, and
IN the dust up with the slack down
angling from their trousers. They'll
ONE in sight exhibiting a score of
sncy PAGES, and only hit the trembl-
lg earth in four or five high places. |!
he air will darken with the flight of
ravel, dirt and sods, and the crowd |
ill sound its battle cries and give
nd offer odds. And Teddy mean
lille will wedge in quite close beside
le track, with something that he
as concealed within a paper sack,
nd when his entry charges down,
ot- footing like the wind, T. R. will
ang hornet nest upon him down
ehind.
And then there will be doings on
This agitated sphere
The earth will pitch and buck to
beat
A frenzied Texas steer.
The sun will spin around and around
And blow up once or twice,

Winning a Juryman.

1t Is related Of Lachaud, the most
famous of French criminal lawyers in
the last century, that in pleading a GER
tain case he perceived that one Of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument.
In the faces of all the other men in
the box he saw with his practiced eyes
that his oratory or his shrewdness was
having its effect, but this man, in spite
OF all Lachaud could do, remained
frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however, and presently saw that his
opportunity had come. 1t was q hot
day, and a ray Of sunlight had pene-
trated a crevice on the curtain and was
shining on top of the head of this jury
man, who was quite bald The lawyer
paused in his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court.
IF your honor would please" he
said, Ito order that the curtain in
yonder window be lowered a trife I
am sure that the sixth juryman would
appreciate it,
This sign Of watchful attention won
the obstinate jurymar's heart and
Lachaud's case.-New York Tribune

'sThis incident" said a doctor, chap
pened in France two or three centu-
rtes ago, in the; days when public
criers were always in evidence. There
was physician of Montpelier who
used to so from place to place to prac-
tice the healing art He employed a
very ingenious trick to help him on
his way. When he came to a town
where he was not known he pretended
to have lost his dog, which he de-
clared was a very valuable animal,
and ordered the public crier to roam
about, beat loud on his drum and offer
reward Of 25 louis to whoever should
bring the dog to him. At the same
time the crier was directed to mention
all the titles and academic honors Of
the doctor as well as his place Of resi-
dence. OF course it happened that the
doctor was not long in becoming al
most the sole topic of talk in the town.
The people made up their minds that
he must be a famous physician as
well as very rich one, as he could Of
fer 25 louis for finding his dog. You
might reasonably judge that the dog
was never found, but plenty of pa
tients WERE"

COSTA RIGA.
She Has Not Much Need For Her
Army Such as 1t Is.

She Has Not Much Need For Her
Army, Such as 1t is.
While for generations Central Amer
lea has been the scene Of frequent rev.
olutions and nearly all of the countries
there have been torn asunder by civil
wars, yet Costa Rica has been exempt
from these internal strifes and has re-
mained peaceful and loyal to the con-
stituted authorities. She stands out to-
day as a conspicuous exception to her
sister republics, and practically with
out navy and with an army Of less
than thousand men, the country IL
lustrates, in the habits Of the people,
In their cordial greeting to foreigners
and foreign capital, in the confidence
shown In each other and in the JUS
tice Of the government, that the arts
OF peace are the best paying invest
ment any nation can make. Her army
Is rarely needed, and during an inter-
view which 1 had with her distin-
fguished president, Cleto Gonzales VI
quez, he told me that revolution at
home was out Of the question, and as
Costa Rica had not had claim from
q foreign country for fifty years there
was not much likelihood Of an army
being needed to fight a foreign foe.
Any healthy Costa Rican between
the ages Of eighteen and forty may en-
list in the army. The soldiers are
usually from the poorer class and
come from the rural districts, many Of
them being of Indian descent and hay-
Ing very little education. The period
OF enlistment is only four months, and
at the expiration of that: time they
may go to their homes or re-enlist,
which many of them do. While the
greater part Of the time is spent at
drills, four months practice is hardly
sufficient to make we'll disciplined
soldier, even If he is anxious to learn
and applies himself assiduously, and
the Costa Rican soldier has both of
these qualities. The army uniform is
blue duck, and many Of the men are
without shoes-as one of them said to
me, because he preferred it through
force of habit and because he was
more comfortable in his bare feet. He
was reared in village where boys
rarely wore shoes, and as he grew to
manhood the habit still clung to him.

EDITOR HULL IS
Still MISSING
Report at Wilton That His
Team Was Found Wander
ing on Prairie Search
ing Parties Fail to Find
Traces Of Him
) word has yet been heard Of e:

No word has yet been heard OF e.
A. Hull a..
The hope that he would be found
safely housed at some farmers house
has not yet proved true and his
friends and relatives are more anxious
as to his fate. Id
There was report at Wilton yes.
terday that Hull's team had been
found wandering on the prairie mid
way between Wilton and Driscoll, but
the story could not be verified at Will
ton last night. Many said they had
heard it, but none could say where
the team was found or by whom. j
& No word has been received from
the searchers who went out Wednes-
day afternoon to search for the miss
ing man, and it is probable they were
unable to make much headway owing
ito the great depth of snow, which is
16 inches deep on the level and drift
ing considerably, obliterating trails
as fast as made. ="
At Driscoll it is said Mrs. Hull is
~prostrated over the uncertainty sur.
rounding the fate of her husband and
that additional searchers have gone
out looking for the editor.
The solution of the matter which
seems to find the most favor is that
Mr.. Hulls team ran away Monday and
he was thrown out at some point away
from the trail and injured SO that he
could not help himself, but the day be.
ing pleasant and the country being
pretty thickly settled, it hardly seems
possible that the team would not be
caught, recognized and search for
the driver made at once. The storm
did not begin until early Tuesday
morning, and it was not until Tuesday
night that much snow was on the
ground, so the above speculation does
not seem likely; still it may begso.

The Power Of Habit.

| = Er3. Z sFs
After having been a faithful devotee
sf the automobile two years or more
Mr.. Bragdoa suddenly was seized with
violent fancy for motor boats. "a
beautiful river runs by this town." he
said. "Why not have some enjoyment
out of it? In motor boat you don't
have to dodge policemen and rural con.
stables.,' y:l
So he bought one, took days In
struction in the art of managing it and
keeping the machinery in running or.
der and started out on his first trip
with 1t one bright morning in July.
1t was late in the afternoon when he
returned home. He came in by the
back way. His clothes were water
soaked, and he had a generally limp
and bedraggled appearance.
"For PHYS sake, Alfredr' exclaimed
his wife. ''What has happened to you? :?
Did the boat upset?"
"No, Lucy" he answered. "Don't
say anything about it and I'll tell you.
The boats all right. but when had
been out on the water an hour or two
something went wrong with the mo-
tor"
"Weu?'
t"Well, before I-er-knew what I
was doing was over the side Of the
boat and trying to get under it to fix
the thing"

Grieo,s rorob.

The last resting place of the great
Norwegian composer, Edward Grieg,
is one Of the most beautiful In its
natural surroundings that could be inn
agined. BY the side Of a lake, at the
extremity Of a ford, close to the COM
.posers native town Of Bergen, there
lis natural grotto formed Ia the solid
rock, which rises precipitously from
the waters edge. Here the remains
of the famous musician are inferred.
The grotto Is only accessible from the
lake. The town OF Bergen intends TO
erect concert ball in memory Of the
composer, which win bear his name
and where Grieg's works win be per-
formed In preference to others.

Only Self Supporting.

1t is told that Cyrus Leland, while
pushing his candidacy for the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination, wrote
q letter to Kansas farmer asking
him for his support at the primary.
:" Answer this letter, daughter" said
the farmer to his fifteen-year-old girl,
Of whose penmanship he was proud,
when the letter reached him. 'Tell
Uncle Cy that l am too busy in the
field to do anything for him. Tell
him I'm working early and late to get
In my crops"
The girl waited until her father had
gone back to his fields and then pen
ned this short note, which she thought
told the story, Papa has all he can do
to support himself without support
ing anybody else" She mailed it.
