A KATYDID
By Mary T. K. Hutchinson.

Some people, who in company
Keep voices low and quiet,
VIII grow in very diffrent tones
When at their daily diet.
Though Katy's argument is long
And never seems quite finished,
Her voice in anger's never raised
Nor her sweet tones diminished
No swear words with naughty sound
Enforce the fact she's stating;
Though she may talk all night, It's with
Politeness inabating.
Her language, too, is very good
For slang-she seems to shun it;
Her grammar? Well, who ever heard
Her claim that Katy done it?"

Norton Letter Not Approved BY

Special to Times-Repubican
Des Moines, Sept. Pit is rumored
that the Taft clubs that were organ
lied by Jackson last spring under the
direction Of the Mckinley organiza-
ton. may change their name soon af-
Ter the election and be called either the
Cannon club, or be given some name
not identified with the fortunes of any
person. Over in Marion county where
enc of the clubs survives despite the
abandonment Of headquarters. the pres
ident sent hot letter of congratula-
tons to Joe Cannon anent his renom-
ination to congress and expressed the
hope he would long remain in public
life. None of the clubs has thanked
President Taft for the Norton letter
and it is said that they are not pleased
over this staement. Not one OF the
leaders of the Taft club in Des Moines
has indicated the slightest approval Of
the Norton letter or the intent OF the
president to abandon factional affairs
and recognize eli republicans alike. 1t
is therefore rumored that these clubs
Will change name.
