Our Poet

Jed Peters, teacher of the BinpviIl,
chool, has wrote a poem on Winter. ,
'hich we use below to help fiji I'd on
ed is quite a poet when he takes a
lotion. One time he wrote a poem
Which appeared in one Of the county
eat papers and it was beautiful L
vas called Death" Following is Jed.
oem:
Winter is here agane;
II most gives me a pain
To see the snow fall down
And cover up the ground.
Some people they Ike winter,
But not all;
Ii does not make me glad
No, il makes me sad.
And melancholy. too;
I'd ruther see the blue
Sky and flowers and green trees
Than feel the ottum breeze.
But a Teller don't care
For the gosh-blame cold air
II he has warm clothes.
Mitts. wool socks, & Etc
But we must let her come:
We can't stop her. by gum;
/ don't 90 much on winter
That's all. JED PETERS.

Farmers around Bingville are
hollering hard times this fall and
are holding President Taft resPon-
sible for poor crops, We don't think
this is right.
The great trouble with the farm
ers in this section is that they be
so dog-goned lazy. Most of them
only plants a few acres and the rest
lets their farms out on shares. If
the farmers hereabouts worked as
hard at farming as they work at
talking about how the government
ort to be run, they would have more
money and we would have more
paid-up subscribers. Take Simon
Packard, who lives five miles west,
for instance. ST has a good farm of
nigh about 100 acres, but about the
only thing he's raised on it for the
last 10 years is stones and thistles.
Any time you drive past Sis
you'll see him settin' out in the yard
under a tree asleep or readin' a
newspaper. ST has owed us for the
Bugle about 20 years now. If he
had paid up as many times as he
said he would we would be a mil
lionaire. The secret Of success is in
dustry. That's why we have bee
for our Bugle emblem, and that's
what our motto means nergia
fatum part"
We was all created to earn our
bread in the sweat of our brows.
Most of the brows of the farmers
around Bingville sweat, but the
sweat is caused by thinking up some
scheme to avoid work.

The misguided editor OF the Hard.
scrabble Banner, a travesty on a news
paper which IS published at a cross
roads and q few houses nine miles west
OF here. undertakes 20 belittle the cir
culation Of the Bugle in It's last weeks
issue.
The Banner SAYS that half the sub
scribers who take the Bugle don't read
II, and that the other half consists OF
people who haven't got any mercy and
therefore won't pay the editor, and con-
sequently amt worth a hang 10 the ad-
vertiser.
With reference 10 half our sub.
scribers not reading the Bugle, that IS
an infamous. malicious. malignant. in.
fectious, infuriated, incxcusable. de.
spicable, outrageous, horrible lie. Every,
body who takes the Biugville BuglC
reads II, and then his neighbors sneak
IN and borrow il.
The second charge that the other half
OF our subscribers won't pay their sub
scriptions Is also mistske-three-
fourths OF them won't pay their sub
sCriptions and we don't care who knows
II. We have been thinking seriously Of
publishing the names OF our dead beats,
and would if it wasn't for disgracing
some Of their wives and children
As for this scurrilOus attack on our
reputation, and more especially our cir
culatior. pooh. pooh The Banner had
only Sc subscribers six months ago and
was losing them at the rate OF about ,
a week, so that It's list ought to be
about 40 now. We do not feel con
tempt for the Banner-no, nothing but
pity.

Joke on CORN

Old CORN Hendricks. who lives at

a mill log near the road to have sawed
up to repair his barn, when he saw
stranger to these parts approaching on
horseback.
CORN knowcd the stranger would
stop and talk, and being as he was def
and couldn't hear thunder he thought
up some answers 10 what the stranger
would ask. Now" says CORN 10 his
self, hell ask me what I'm a-doin' and
ri say, "Gittin' out mill log" then
he'll say, Where be you goin' 10 cut

do you ask for mill log like that?"
and III say. ooh, about So" Then he'll
say, Darn If I'd give that much for
it." and III say, well, if you don't,
perhaps somebody else will
BY this time the stranger got up to
CORN and stopped his horse
Good morning says the stranger
"Sawin' off a mill log" says Corn.
Iiow far be it from here 10 Hard

Worlds Finest Rope of Pearls.

The Queen Mother of Portugal is
the possessor of the finest rope of
pearls in the world. 1t is valued at
S1,3O0,000 and it has excited the
cupidity of the Republican party in
the little monarchy. During the
years when the fat King Carlos was
on the throne he heightened the rope
at every birthday: celebration of the
queen, who delights in pearls. Since
Carlos was assassinated she has not
worn the pearls, and it is reported
she has sent them to England against
any attempt at seizure. The Repub-
licans insist that the pearls are state
jewels and advocate their seizure and
sale for the benefit of the lean gov
ernment treasury. The rope consists
of several hundred of the finest
pearls found in Ceylon in the last 80
years.-New York Press.

mo VOTE, NO HUSBAND"
Young Ladies of Washington Have
Decided to Make Fight.

Spokane, Wash, August 14.-"No
vote, no husband" is the slogan Of
$50 girls of marriageable age who
have just organized the College Equal
Suffrage Club of Spokane, under the
presidency of Mrs. z. w. Comerford.
Each has taken a solemn VOW to con-
vert her suitor to woman's rights be-
fore entering upon an engagement.
The plan to enlist Cupid into the
ranks as an ally was organized BY a
half-dozen timid members, who, after
several conferences persuaded Mrs.
Comerford to launch the movement
and recruit the membership to 500
before the beginning Of September.
This does not mean that the meth
ods introduced by Mr.. Adam when
he first met Miss Eve are to be barred
here, but that the valiant knight
must break customs instead of lances
and gain for his lady love the privi-
lege to cast her ballot II ne Is to nave
the wealth of satisfaction in his game
Of wooing.
while our members are not going
to be quite as radical as the Chicago
girls" said Mrs. Comerford, there
will be absolutely no encouragement
to those who do not believe in the
suffragists' cause. We expect to start
school of conversion. The girls will
not be pledged to refuse a suitor, who
is not suffragist, but it is expected
that every member will promise to
use her best endeavors to win the
man for u.s."

CIRCLED THE GLOBE ON s104.
Boston Teacher Takes Jaunt Around
World on Small Capital.

A leisurely jaunt around the
world, lasting two years, on a capital
of but S104, this is the feat achieved
by Harry A. Franck, teacher of mod
ern languages in the Technical High
School, of Springfield, who has re-
Gently returned home.
When Franck decided to make the
trip he had but s104, and this
amount, with what he was able to
pick up along the way, covered the
entire cost of the tour. AS he ex-
pended s113 on Photographic sup
plies alone, his performance is all the
more remarkable.
After few weird experiences in
the third class compartments of the
continental trains, Franck reached
the conclusion that tramping it might
take little longer, but the additional
comfort would more than counter
balance the loss Of time, besides af-
fording an opportunity Of seeing
more of the country and people.
Franck started on the trip as soon
as he graduated from the University
of Michigan. He went to Montreal
where he shipped on a cattle boat fol
Glasgow.
Starting from Glasgow he visited
the principal points in Scotland, Ire
land, England, Holland, Germany
Belgium, Austria, France, Spain, Tur'
key, Egypt, India, the Philippines
China, Japan and Honolulu.
When he set out Franck could
speak French and German fairly flu
emily and knew a little Spanish and
Italian. He is able to converse IN
eight languages now.
The discharge papers he received
on leaving the cattle boat came in
handy to Franck.
81 found a good use for the docu'
ment,' he says. On moving aDOu'
Europe one must be ever ready tc
declare his station in life. The an
swer of the American tramp that he
is Just travelin',' will not pass mus
ter across the water. To have called
myself carpenter or teamster with
out corroborating testimonials would
have been as foolish as to have told
the truth. The discharge from the
cattle boat did not differ materially
from that of an able seaman. My
corduroy suit and cloth gave me the
appearance of a Jack ashore and

BONANZA DISCOVERER DEAD.
Womack, Who First Located Gold in
Cripple Creek. Poor at End.

Womack, Who First Located Gold in
Cripple Creek, Poor at End.
Colorado Springs, COL, August II.
Robert Womack, who discovered
gold at Cripple Creek, died of paraly-
sis here to-day after lingering ILL
ness. In his last years Womack was
dependent on a sister, who keeps a
boarding house here.
This is the end of a man who, in
one sense, paid s2S0,0O0,OO0 for one
spree. That sum has been taken out
in gold from Cripple Creek. In Janu-
ary, 1901, Womack struck the bonan-
"a lode.
Coming here he went on spree
and sold his claim for $500. Then
he jumped on his broncho and rode
through the streets brandishing his
six shooter and proclaiming his Sc
cret.
When Womack sobered up the best
mining property had been located by
others, and he had to 60 to work for
wages.

WOMAN HEADS SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Young Elected Superintendent
of Chicago's System.

The superintendency of Chicago 8
great school system has been given
into the hands of woman for the
first time in it's history. Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, principal of the Chica-
go normal school since 1905 and an
educator of national reputation, has
been chosen by the newly organized
board of education as the head of the
public schools.
Mrs. Youngs selection followed a
struggle for the Office, which has
been going on since the resignation
of Edwin c. Cooley, several months
ago. At one time the question OF
MIR. Corley's successor appeared to
foreshadow a split among the mem
bers of the board. Many educators
from other cities have been urged
by their friends for the position, but
the board decided to appoint a Chi
cago man or woman.
At it's meeting Thursday night the
board also created new position in
the schools of assistant to the
superintendent. John D. Shoop, su-
pervisor Of vacation schools, was
named for this place.
Mrs Young is 81 years old, and
was born in Buffalo, N. Y. She has
been engaged in teaching since 1862.
She was district superintendent OF
schools for Chicago from 1887 to
1899 and professor of education at
the University of Chicago from 1899
to 1905.
She has been the editor Of the Ed
ucational Bimonthly since 1906, and
is the author of several books on ed
ucational subjects. An organization
of woman principals Of Chicago ele-
mentary schools is named the Ella
F. Young club.

A FRIGHTFUL CONFLICT.
Battle With a Maniac on a Chimney
25O Feet High.

Every time l see a tall chimney"
said an Englishman, Il am reminded
of thrilling affair that happened
when I was a lad in Bradford, Eng
land, my birthplace. A 250 foot
chimney had just been completed,
and two brickmasons only were left
on the top to put the finishing touch
es on it. Both of them were
big men. One of them, a fellow OF
gigantic strength, went suddenly
insane just as the last bit of work
was done on the chimney, and his
companion looked on with horror
while the maniac deliberately cut
away the rope ladder leading from
the top of the chimney to the
ground.
The maniac no sooner did this
than he turned to his companion and
calmly announced that he was going
to throw him over the side of the
chimney to the ground. They closed,
and terrific, protracted struggle en-
sued. The workmen down below
had seen the rope ladder when 1t
struck the ground, and they knew at
once that something was wrong with
the two men at the top.
"They got away from the chin
ney at sufficient distance to see
what was going on at the top, and
they witnessed the frightful encoun-
ter between the two men. The
maniac frequently by pure strength
got his companion over to the very
edge of the chimney. Every time he
did this the sane man would muster
up all of his force and push the mad
man back. The hand to hand battle
went on for hours, while company
of firemen down below were en-
deavoring to shoot a line over the
chimney by means of rocket can
non. Finally the sane man got
certain hold on the madman and
broke the latter's arm. Then the
maniac lay quiet.
after hours of aiming the fire
men managed to get line over the
chimney, which the exhausted brick
mason almost all out from his ter
rible struggle with the insane man,
grabbed. Then he drew up the rope
ladder, fastened it and came down
to the ground, sinking into a semi
comatose condition from which he
did not emerge for days.
1.-TWO firemen volunteered to go
up the rope ladder after the maniac.
They had nearly reached the top of
the chimney when the insane man
walked over to the edge, looked
around quietly for minute or so,
paying no attention to the cries of
his rescuers, and then dived head
foremost to the ground. He was
probably dead before he struck the
earth, and he was picked up a shape
less mass"
