UNDERMINING AMERICA.
Alien Pie Bakers Running an An.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The man whose ancestors came over in
the Mayflower, or shortly thereafter. cast
his eye down the restaurant bill of fare
until he came to that section designated
'Puouing, pie, etc" He Stunned the
pudding and took to the pie.
Bring me a piece Of cranberry and
piece of pumpkin" he said to the waiter.
and leaned back in his chair with
look Of anticipatory joy. The cranberry

kin pie was bilious-looking mush. But
the man of the Mayfiower plowed into
. them regardless. A few mouthfuls OF
each satisfied him. however, and he
pushed them from him.
Its enough to make a true Ameri-
can turn anarchist" he snorted. Its
positively degrading. the way the baker,
les of this country have turned the maxi
ing of pie over to aliens who have no
how. That's what the trouble is in this
country. It's not predatory wealth, and
it's not the grabbing of the public do
main and the wat. r rights, nor is 1t the
octopus trusts or dishonest politics that
is the matter with the United States.
It's the rotten bad pie made by ba"ers
from places where they don't know pi,
from baked armadillo. No one should
be permitted to bake a pie who can
not show a clear pedigree of five or six
generations OF New England anc stry
pie represents the soul and intellect
of the land; its preparation is function
that is almost religious: its consumption
IS a domestic drama; and pie itse-f should
be treated with the same respect that
brave and intellectual people give to the
product OF its artists Pie in New Eng
land has become not only the material
and tangible evidence of her genius, but
has been the handspring of her great
ness But, what's the use-out here
aliens with no sympathy bake the pies
and we must eat them or starve."

An Attractive Place.
At the foot of New Jersey avenue is

a really graceful and attractive structure

that the immediate setting of the build

Still the locality Is not out of the way,
the navy yard has crept toward the west

couple of blocks away from the foot

A Good Word for Father.
From the Topeka CapitaI.

TToiH Topeka capital
Sam F. Woodland of Wichita proposes to
find out what, if any, standing father has
in the family. Songs have been written
and toasts drunk and oratorical flights I'm
dulged in for the honor and fame OF
mother and the girls and the rah-rah
boys, the horse useful. the five-thousand-
dollar hen. the beef steer. the schoolma am
and pretty much everybody in this day
and age. and now Mr.. Woodland SEES mod
estiy from tar corner Of the house and
pipes up a word for that negligible fac
tor. the old man. For the best sentiment,
either in verse, limited to forty lines, or
prose. limited to 400 words, he offers 500
in each case. with smaller prizes running
down from $50. SO, SIS and so on until
the total offered in pr yes aggregates 800.
The proposed symposium In behalf OF
father VIII be made up into a book Mr.
Woodland truthfully says that but little
OF actual merit has been written on this
subject" When anything has been father,
we venture to say. has been called on to
put up for the deficit, or whatever 1t was.
Some fine tributes are capable of being
written in verse and prose about dad that
will cause that gentleman to perk up and
think pretty well OF himself.

MISSOURI SEEKS STATE SONG.
Patriotic Citizens Now Seeking 9
Commonwealth Tune.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Missourians. anxiously awaiting to hear
rendered the new state song. are evincing
curiosity as to the identity of the con-
testants and expressing hope that the
anthem to be officially approved will be-
come generally popular
Musicians of st. Louis are at variance
In opinion as to whether song worthy
Of the prestige of the state can be pro-
duced in contest for a prize. Some believe
the plan feasible; others that such bal
lads are the products only Of stormy
periods or of unusual conditions, but all
express the desire that the selection will
be meritorious in words and music and
universally sung-a song that will add
greater fame to the state and bring i'm
mortality to its author
When Missouri representatives aboa d
the Tart fleet on it's way to New Orleans
heard state ballads sung at night at
banquet board and atop deck they felt
touch of jealousy that their own COM
monwealth. splendid in location, conspic-
uOus In history and so strongly individual
in social life, did not possess an anthem
OF commensurate strength, beauty and
character.
Why should not Missouri the greatest
state west of the Mississippi liver, a state
replete in romance. whose very name is
me ody, whose pride in statehood is justi-
fed by all that goes to make a great
state-why should she not, they asked
nave hitting place In the anthology Of
her sisters?
And so these Missourians, chagrined
that they cou'd not burst into song OF
their own native land betook themselves
to reflection.
Gov. Hadley was the first to break the
reve-ie
Two things have impressed me on this

The Finding Of Cripple Creek.

From Hamptons Magazine.
Until the discovery of Cripple Creek,
in 1891. American prospectors were. as
rule, ignorant of ore that could not
mother rock. Such ore can be deter
mined as ore only by the pan or cruel
BILE. This accounts for the many years
that Cripple Creek remained undiscovered
though the district lay only short dis
tance from Colorado Springs and had
been grazed over for years before. And
here we have the story Of old Bob Wo-
mack.
Bob Womack was an amiable, riotous
and irrepressible prospector He could
out of his pocket And earnestly he
would inform all within hearing that
tho rock meant a gold mine. He was in
he saddle most Of the time, sometimes
as a cowboy. as prospector all the
time. He had come to Colorado in the
sixties from Kentucky. and acquired
title to the property where the town of
Cripple Creek now is. He kept his cat
tie over the district for years. Later he
sold his land and cattle both, but stayed
on In log cabin in Poverty gulch. I'D
ng the range hopefully and always. He
drank bad whisky, and bad whisky made
him a genial bad man. He could whoop
ouder and quicker than the notes % his
staccato Colt. In 1885 some one sailed
mine on Mount Pisgah and there was
a stampede and disappointment. Moth
ing was left in the district except its
bad name as a fake and Bob Womack.
Womack dug a little, hole in what is
now the Ell Paso lode of the Gold Kin.
mine. A dentist. ]. P. Grannis, was
Grub stalking Womack to some extent,
and Grannis helped Womack perfect his
claim. Still his gold discoveries were
discounted, and one happygo-lucky
night he gave deed to his half interest
in the Gold King mine for a bottle of
whisky, which with the FL Paso became
one Of the big mines OF the camp. A
million in a month is still the yield for
the district.
