Little Tots.

Little tots smiling
And little tots sad.
Little tots perfect,
And little tots bad.
Little tots laughing,
Or shouting or still,
The world loves 'em any
Old way that they will.
It's fun to caroSS 'em.
To watch EN- get fed,
IL fun to undrcSs 'em
And tuck en- in bed
To hear 'cm repeating
Their sweet nttle prayers,
An then tell 'em stories
Of fairies an bears.
The little tots. bless 'em
That dav would be long
That was not enlivencd
by some baby song
And | wouldn't care
To wake up, be it said.
If there wasn't Il yOungSter
To climb in my bed.
The old folks are moody,
AND selfish and vain,
And a whole lot of things
That l can't explain.
but the youngsters are always
y source of delight
If you do have to walk
With EN- sometimes at night
I'm for 'em forever,
The boys and the girls,
The kids with his freckles.
The lass with her curls.
Inc sweet ones, the cross ones.
The good ones. the bad:
The little tots bless 'em.
They keep the world glad.

Hanson Out of Senatorial Race.

Hon. George NJ. Hanson, of CALAIS,
announces his withdrawal from the
senatorial race, in a few words that
cannot be mistaken. The mOuthpiece
of the kcnnebcc Democracy declares,
in making the announcement, that
this makes the election of Hon.
Charles f. Johnson practically certain.
In spite of the ground taken by the
executive committee of the Grange,
the chances of Obadiah Gardner APP
pear rather slim, at this time, as the
Watcrville candidate will no doubt
secure much of the Hanson support in
the Eastern part of the State, as well
as that Of the central sections. Mr..
Hanson's statement follows:
In order to clear up, so far as pos
Sible, any misunderstanding concern
ing my position in the contest for the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator, desire to state
through your paper, to the DemOcra-
tic legislators elect, that l shall not
be Il candidate for the Senatorship.
also desire, at this time. to express
my thanks to friends in various parts
of the State who kindly favored me
with support for the position. The
party welfare is more important than
anybody's personal ambition could
possibly be and if my withdrawal
from the contest tends to promote
party harmony, 1 shall feel very wen
rewarded.
Yours truly,

OF a conspiracy in Galloway county,
Il was learned that Wells had made
his way from Hopkinsville to Padu
cab and that DR.. Renders had not
been In Paduoah, and had not called
up the newspaper to make that start
ling allegation.
Wells will be remembered as the
young man who created a sensation
a year or more ago. by telling the
newspaper boys that he had dis
covered a pot. containing $500 in
Ballard county, where he was dig
ging in the interest OF saw mill
foundations. This gold was sold in
Cincinnati at a premium of almost
so per cent.
That was the vnd OF Charles II.
Wells. as far as publicity was con-
cerned, until few months ago.
when he was declared insane by a
jury in the county court at Murray
and sent to Hopkinsvile.
The voice, impersonating DR..
Renders over the phone, said Wells
eyes had been injured by a severe
illness. but that he was not insane.
DR.. Sights said over the phone today
that the only mania Wells exhibited
there was with regard 10 the gold.
and. of course. they did not know
he had ever found any gold
Judge Patterson al Murray said
there was no question about Wells
peculiar actions prior TO his lunacy
inquest. and reputable physicians
and his own family considered him
self not responsible. Judge Wells
said the young mans father. John
Wells. Is seen by him frequently.
and the father is convinced at his
sons irresponsibility. Judge Patter-
