TILLMAN BLAMES GREAT HATE
OF PRESIDENT FOR HIS CHARGES
TnLMAN TIGHTENS GRIP
ON PTTCFiFORK HANDLE

The President is sure
that I have done some
thing very discreditable
and outrageous. He hates
me, and would destroy me
if he could.
ALI this fuss, fury, and
fustian about the serious
ness Of the case and the
gravity Of the offense with
which he charges me can
be attributed to personal
malice alone.
Another probable rea-
son for his great haste was
that he sought to distract
attention from the action
of the House Of Represent
atives on Friday in laying
part of his message on the
table.
It is well understood
that the President is an
adept at advertising, and
that he has used the press
with more skill than any
man in American politics.

THE GREAT WATCHWORD .
OF THE MIsSoURIANS. :
The Famous "Show Me" Phrase,
Used Everywhere, Had
tld Origin in Ohio.
..*.**.*. !. ..******:'

The effort of the Rev. DIR. John Clark
Hill to discover the origin of the ia
nous phrase upon which he Is to
preach la sermon has resulted in the
discovery. that tie sentence. I'm
from Missouri, YOUR have to show
me-" originated in the publishing
house of a Springfield agricultural pa
per- Gas q
About IA years ago there was work
ing there a printer by the name of Sam
McIlhenny, who hailed from Missouri
and who did not hesitate to say so.
He talked about II so much that 1t got
to be joke among the printers. One
day a letter came from Missouri
farmer complaining vociferously that
his paper had been cut off. In con-
Guiding, he said You folks may
think it's all right to stop the paper
paid for, but I'm from Missouri;
you've got to show me-"
The circulation man who read the
letter thought IL was pretty good and
took 1t up to show McIlhenny and the
other printers. 1t soon became a by
word among them and for many
months was a phrase on everybody's
lips.
One day tourist" blew in, and he
astonished everybody by springing the
much used sentence.
"where did you hear thatY" queried
the astonished McIlhenny.
ooh, / first heard 1t in Cleveland,
from Harry Wines" he said. land he's
been using ii all over the east"
Wines was a tramp printer of the
most typical sort. He hailed original
ly from Springfield, worked there part
of the time and set type all over the
United States. 1t appeared that he
had made industrious. use of the worn
Farm and Fireside joke.
Gradually it was spread, and 1t re-
ceived a big impetus when used In the

supposed to have given the phrase It's
first really national circulation.

The matter of help on the great
lakes is now serious one.
Boats are coming up and going down
short handed and the boats are not be-
ing unloaded as fast as they might FOL
tho reason that II is said to be next ia
impossible to persuade men to accept
jobs.
Every boat that reaches the harbor
NJ once sends out for men, but the
scarcity is so pronounced that but few
respond, says the Duluth Herald. This
condition of affairs makes the watches
much longer and those who are on the
boats refuse to work all the time and
have threatened to quit.
In fact, il is only because the wages
have been increased greatly that men
I'm any number are kept on the boats
one package freighter arrived I'm the
harbor yesterday with but two seamen,
and IL is reported that nearly every
vessel sailing the lakes is experiencing
the same trouble.
The boats are not being loaded and
unloaded as fast as though men were
plentiful, and just at this time when
the rush of the season is at its height,
the need of men is felt greatly.
The boat owners say that ii is not
the strike that Is making the difference,
but that as jobs in every line are now
plentiful. men refuse to brave the dam
gers OF the lakes when they can secure
work on land. The strikers, of course
claim that this shortage has been felt
all summer, and that it is directly due
10 their strike and their efforts that
the vessel men find themselves up
against it,"
Tho ore boats are in but little better
shape than the freighters and the
problem is now becoming very serious.
great effort is being made to get
men at this port, although but few re-
spond. The men secured at eastern
ports leave the boats as soon as this
port is reached. Many of them take
this means of getting this far west,
with the intention of quitting as soon
as the boat arrives in Duluth.

Fellows hall last evening. The meeting
was for the benefit of the Mystic lodge

most excellent manner, members OF
the local lodges declaring that never
before has any visiting grand lecturer
exemplified the work in so able a
manner.
A brief social session followed the
conclusion of the work, and an excel
lent luncheon was enjoyed but owing
to the lateness of the hour and a large
number OF members from Quincy hill
being obliged to leave to catch a car
for their homes, the speechmaking and
program were omitted.
Mr.. Kennedy spent the morning to-
day with local members of the order
and this evening will go to South
Range to conduct school of instruc-
ton for the South Range and Paines-
dale lodges.
Mr.. Kennedy was invited to be pres
ent Mt the regular meeting of the Holly

able to accept, as he is obliged to has
ten with his work in the upper PENN

bekah lodge took the past noble grand
degree at the recent grand lodge ses-
sion at the 500, and reports on the
gathering are expected from some of
them at Friday evenings meeting.

You will be missing good that will
