GAYNOR BRANDS HEARST

TWO FELONIES COMMITTED.
I'm plain words, two state prison fell
onies, namely, forgery and Justification
of a public document, were committed
in the eagerness of this publisher and
editor to wrong the mayor of the city OF
New York.
I'm a day or two afterward. when

the grand jury were taking notice of the
matter he published as an excuse that
the photograph did not reproduce Them
Now Just look at this original draft
again The date at the top, as you
see. is in larger and more pronounced
letters and figures than any other part
of the draft.
II had the draft photographed as q
test to prove the dates would take like
all the rest, and here Is the photo
graph. You see that shows the dates
as plainly, to say the least, as any
other part of the draft. But IL it were
true that Mr.. Hearst's Photographic APP
paratus would not reproduce the dates.
why should he print the draft without the
dates? Why did he not, put them in
some way? The truth is, l am assured,
THAT the dates were actually cut out OF
the plate with routing machine. An in
spection of the draft as falsely printed
also shows that to be the case. as you
see in respect to the date of December

II need not say to you that the In
debtedness for which this draft was
drawn was incurred during several
years before the present members of,
the city government were elected, and
that it was audited and made a fixed
and legal obligation OF the city before
we took Office. instead of any of us
fixing the award as this article says.
1T is high time that these forgers
and libelers were in states prison, and
the time is not far distant when some
OF them will be there. And just think
of man who is capable of doing
things like this. being possessed Of the
notion that he is fit to hold any office
from mayor to president of the United
States. Morally speaking, his mind must
be a bowling wilderness. Never will tins
voters anywhere put such a man in Of.

Now 1 feel that ! am entirely right
in mentioning this matter to you, and
that IL will promote a proper UNDER
standing and do good. We have stood
1t here in New York city for long
time. and the respectable editors and
publishers of this city want of all things
to get rid of it, They know that the
perpetuity of our institutions depends
mere on a free and honest press tan
on all else combined"

Rankin. commissioner of agriculture,
gives a resume of the reports which have
reached him from nearly every county in
the state and shows that the recent cold

The frost and freeze and snow prac-

Mr.. Rankin says, and did great damage
to vegetables and corn. He says that
much of the corn that was planted will
have to be plowed up and planted again.
As to tobacco, Mr.. Rankin says there
will be a large acreage in spite of the
damage that was done many plant beds
by the frost. He says the mountain
counties have almost doubled their acre

Among the trees and shrubs and flowers
And think and plan his work for hours
Where he and Muf1es all alone
Gould sit on broken tree or stone;
Where nothing would their minds modest .
While they gave wireless thought test
For the missing lad was millionaire
With dozen millions more to spare
And the prince knew we'll if he found the lad
And made the wealthy father glad
That his reward split up in four
Would buy for Dutchy department store
And motor Car and an ocean boat,
The SWEETEST vessel now afoat
And Jappy, too, could buy japan
And an Oriental caravan
And ivory animals score
AS big as Dutchy's department store;
And Captain Dinkey could own a state
And have a golden dish or plate
A mile across and heaped up high
With watermelons to the sky; ..
And he and Muffles could travel far
In stately auto or Pullman car
And see the country east and west
And answer every childs request
And visit all both rich and poor
And then cross Ger the sea and tour
The countries old and change perhaps
Some little kingdoms on the maps
And buy one out complete with gold
And fill it full as it could hold
With boys and girls and jolly play
And make it sunshine every day;
And Domino be Prince or King ,.
And he and Muf1es rule the thing.
These are some of the dreams he had
When he learned about the missing lad
And this was why the Prince that night
Moved his Gypsy camp clear out of sight
Because he knew that thought works best
With comfort, quiet, sleep and rest
THE PRINCE and Mufhes had sat all day
Down by brook some yards away
From the Gypsy wagons and Dinkey's fire
Each dressed in Siamese attire
And overhead from tree 20 tree
An Oriental canopy
And incense burning close at hand
In q little pot down on the sand
And nothing moving; not a sound
Except form squirrels and birds around;
And croaldng cav from big black crow

That the Prince and Mufies had that day
Some great big problem underway.

XVI. A NEW VENTURE

THE PRINCE called off the fun that day
And sent the Russian bear away!
Muffies had made him climb tree
And sit on a stool and drink some tea
And hold the trainer on his paw,
AS cute child as you ever saw.
The others laughed at the little Jap
When he was tossed like fellows cap
And caught again like a rubber ball
And never once let slip or fall.
And Dutchy, too, had fun to spare
When he was chased by that Russian bear -
And lodged about from place to place
Till he tired out bruin in the race.
The Prince said bruin had enough
When he finished playing blind-man 's-buff
And with eyes bound tight had passed hat
And found the place where each one sat
And got some pennies and some gold, ~.
AS much as the trainers hands would hold.
THE man and daughter and the bear
Went off at once to the county fair
And the little girls as they said good-by
Had a show of tears in every eye
For Domino in his princely way
Said, ''Wel miss your fun; we go today;
The camp will move at six tonight
And disappear clear out of sight
For a day or two in valleys deep
Till Mufies has some hours to sleep
And have time and he has rest
To solve problem; about guest
little boy who went to stay
With grandmamma some miles away
And lost himself in an hour or so
And who can t be found either high or low.
I have message from his dad
Which says if I will find the lad
He'll send at once q note of thanks
Containing checks on dozen banks
So we are off for the work today
And must get busy right away"
He then gave orders the camp to pack
And at six o'clock the whip went crack
And Dinkey's load moved on ahead
As he with Mufhes the procession led.
THE PRINCE just had that camp that night
In deep ravine clear out of sight
Far away from crowds and news and wires
And where the smoke from Dinkeys fires
Could not be seen or noise be heard;
And where they wouldn't hear word
Of the daily news or the village talk;
And where Prince Domino could walk
