''Nawthin' ails him." said Mr. Doo-

'Ye're not half as homesick as ye're
fellow citizens wud be If ye wint home,
says tn powers. Stay with u.s. says
they an to make him sure he hasn't
wore out his welcome they knock him
down an set on his head.
9TH other day he slipped away firm

| somewhere in South America next dure
but wan to his home. He'd hardly got
settled befure tn mayor iv tn city

We to walk says tn mayor. Mike,
grab him be tn ankles an I'll take

tn captain. Well, here's somethin' We

aboord
ITS a long time since amy ex-
prisidint was so well looked afther.
Ivrywhere he goes, an he's always on
tn wing, he's attinded be min -fv- war
with instructions to their bands to
cutout Home, Sweet Home an play
nawthin' but Life on tn Ocean Wave
an "Th' Rambler firm Clare whin he's
around. I demand me rights says he.
Coin home is not a right but a pain
full jooty' says tn powers Me coun-
thry calls me- says he Yes but We
don't know what 1t calls we or We wud-
".
Ye may think it's funny, Hinnissy, but
I say 'tis an outhrage to turn this do
mestic charackter into wandhrer an
break up his home ties.
Whats e.done to desarve so much
attintion, says We, an him on'y about
five feet high an iv color that wud
on'y make him prominent in Missis-
sippi at lynching? Well, sir, me
frind Ciprianio was ambitious an ne
took tn shortest road to fame He
made a nuisance iv himsilf. That's
tn on'y way amy South American
fcan iver become famous.
II r-read his arly histhry in tn pa
aper tn other day an tits shrouded In
mysthry. TIL historyan says he was
born iv respectable but indignant par
ents an wint into tn business iv rails
in or liftin' cattle arly in life. 1t is
reported that he was iddycared to be
rivolutionist but in his youth found
tn pro- fissyon overcrowded an didn't
take 1t up till late in life. Wan iv tn
anecdotes about him is that he become
a pathrite an rivolutionist in this way I:
He was leadin' tn life iv th' ordriny
Vinzwalan gintlemen, tendin' his rub
ber orchards till they were fruited
deep with overshoes an children's pac-
ifiers, dhrawn5 his mornin' coffee fresh
firm tn three in his front yard, watch
in tn trantuly an tn scorpion frislx
in tn garden an comm home at night
to his simple repast iv red peppers
seasoned with chicken If annybody
told him he was a pathrite in those
days he wud-ve said: How dare ye
Haven't got ivrything wants?
But wan day, tits said, th' withrin'
hand iv despotism was laid on him an
it kindled th' fires iv pathritism in his
bosom. It was little thing. Wan iv
tn minions iv tyranny come along an
discovered In our hero's barn cattle
marked ]. c. W, f. X. OBJ Il. @. r.
an other initials that were meant fr
&C. c. but tn man that branded tn
cows cudden't SPELL In vain Ciprianio
pleaded that tn poultry was his, that
he'd paid f'r It, that it had sthrayed
into his barn, that he was takin' care
| iv 1t fr frind who'd give UP house
keepin' an gone to live In hotel. that
| 1t had been sent back firm tn Iaun-
dhry be mistake, TIL sathray iv des-
potism dhrove off tn cows an as they
disappeared over tn hills an Ciprianio
Casthro looked into his empty barn he
become a revolutionist Nanny a riv-
lolutionist has been made tn same way
TIL reason we don't have thin in our
favored country is because tn gov
ermint niver taxed anything away
firm us. 1t gives us things 1t gives
/ tn sugar thrust a tariff an It gives
us other smugglers Ave years.
