When my paw was hoy.
He'd git the coal and chop the wood,
And think up every way he could
To always jist be sweet and good
When my paw was a boy.
Then everything was in Its place
When my paw was a boy:f
How he could rassle, jump and race.
I hen my paw was a boy!

UNDER ARREST
F. L. Baldwin, Of Journal, Charged
With Libel in Connection With At

Word was received in Detroit, Mon

tor OF the Escanaba Journal was ar
rested in Escanaba on Saturday on a
capias, charging him with criminal
libel and defamation OF character in
connection with the Journals state
ments rejecting on the character of
Chase 8. Osborn, candidate for the
Republican nomination OF governor OF
Michigan Baldwin gave bail and his
trial was set for Sept. 8.
MIR. Osborn will make Baldwin
sweat for the publication of those
statements" said a Detroit friend OF
Osborn, Monday afternoon. Mr.. Os-
born will be here this week and he
tell the people OF Detroit some
thing about the charges.
1T Is evident that the Kelley Mus.
selman faction is out to beat Mr.. Os-
born at any cost or without regard 10
means. foul or fair. IL is the plan OF
tn = opponents of Mr.. Osborn TO elect
Kelley this year and to allow Mussel-
man TO get the Office four years
hence. However. neither OF them will
get the office, for Mr.. Osborn is GO
ing TO win by large majority, about
$4,000 at least"

MAN PINS NOTICE IN WINDOW
THAT HE'S OUT OF sorts
Nobody Comes to Pick An Argument
But He Gets Peevish With Wife
and Lands In Court.

Even IL Joseph Sohn does get lit
tie riled at times. he has at least tho
good sense to apprise folks OF his fts
of temper. Joseph was feeling quite
riley" last Saturday night, and, ac-
cordingly, he posted notice In the.
front window of his home at No. 468
Fifteenth-st.. to the effect that all per-
sons of pacific tendencies should re-.
main without.
The notice went on to say that Mr..
Sohn was out of sorts and that the re-
ception accorded visitors would be far
from pleasing AS a result of his cam
righteousness, he was in police court
Monday morning. So was Mrs. Sohn.
She loudly accused him Of various
forms of peevishness. She said that
his affliction was most aggravated
last Saturday. On that occasion, she
declared he had collected barrel OF
iron and other junk and scattered 1t
over the floor. Then he secluded his
trusty revolver under some old rags
Mrs. Sohn reproved him because he
had sold her horse. She said that he
told her she should never have her
horse back.
ut is chasing green cheese In the
moon" is what Mrs. Sohn alleges her
hubby said.
Police Justice Stein listened patients
ly to all the testimony and finally adj
vised the belligerants to settle their
differences in the justice courts.

and Minneapolis.
"They have elegant cars he said.
"Spick and span, they run through the
streets at ferry clip and the road
beds are as smooth as glass. There
are no front entrances or exits and no

is simply great.

campaign approaches a close. The
most recent display IL a low attack

the Escanaba Journal, an obscure pa

tim of homophobia and Is irresponsi-
BILE. During the campaign this paper
has been circulated by Amos Mussel-
man and has contained many un-
founded charges against me-.
II have paid no attention and shall
pay none to the last attack beyond
saying that he libels were concocted
by the Warner-Kelley banditti and this
Musselman organ was used to con-
vey them to the public. Thousands
OF copies have been circulated through
the lower peninsula. There Is not a
shadow of foundation for the state
ments, insinuations and inuendoes. II

papers With Amos Musselman I shall
sue him for $4,000 damages. My
only defense at this time is my char-
acter and its armor OF probity.
