You've heard of the charge OF the Light Bri
gAde.
You've read Of the stunt the Six Hundres
made.
You know what Dewey did that May
To the spanish ships IN Manila Bay.
These stunts are great. but mere cnild's play
To the one Mac had the other day.
When standing out upon the street.
And chatting with the friends he'd meet,
A fearful sight mis- eyes aid greet.
The sun was bright. the air was still
When down the street came mule and swill,
Atawful pace. in awful fright
The mule plunged forw1Id with all his might.
Black saw the mule hitched TO the swill
And thought of people they might kill.
Without thought OF self or life,
And sadder still. the thought of wife,
He acted quickly. brave and cool,
And stopped that run u way mule.
You NAV speak Of heroes. old or young,
The heroes OF war and those unsung,
Examine them all by any rule.
And never a one has stopped mule.
Long may he live this hero bold
And his brave dec. to all be told
Let il be known in church. in sc hool.
He stopped that run-a- way mule.

formed, I wish to state few facts and
ask some questions relative to the faets
which if you can answer satisfactor-
tally to yourself will be evidence sufi-
cient that you are q Democrat, and
understand the tenets of progressive
Democrats" But should you fail to
so answer the questions l think it
might be taken as evidence that
have not been ruled out of court.
Iquote the closing lines of your
published letter: I'VE will work wou-
ders in the way of reform under our
present plan Of government
Our present system or ''plan" OF gov
ernment which is sometimes called
Democratic system, is divided into
three departments-Legisl Exc
cutive and Judicial, and of the three
divisions only one-half of one depart
ment is voted for by the people. The
President you know is elected by = col
lege of electors, and the Senate is
chosen by state legislatures, and the
Now in your opinion will progressive
Democrats work wonders in the way
of reform under our present plan Of
government" to the extent of chang
ing the system of our government
from = democracy in name to . dem
ocracy in fact?
Do you truly believe that 'progres-
sive Democrats can bring about re-
forms under our present ''plan"of gov
ernment to secure the unbiased, ua-
selfish judgment of citizens on any
public questions

political complexion of these states
you will notice that the work of dis
franchisement has been the work of
Democrats as we'll as Republicans.
And the question l wish 70 ask in this

In Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Nine.

By CLARENCE E. EDDY.
Well all be flying In the air,
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine
For there is no speed limit there;
The cops could never collect the fine,
Well hear no more of wars alarm
And building battle ships will cease,
All other nations will disarm
While Carrie Nation keeps the peace.
Well hear no more of Theodore,
Race suicide will then decline,
And Bryan will run-l6 to /.
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine.
And we will see the G. 0. P
Once again will point with PRIDE
Its fine bull. but our stalls are full,
So tie that bull outside
The Pinchot- Balliuger controversy
Will still keep on in the same old line
But those who read il will cry for mercy
Fer nine teen hundred and ninety nine.
In nineteen huncred and ninety nine
No one will really have to labor
For all mankind will be com bined
And each will live upon his neigh bOr
The women all will then propose
And all the men will have q chance
But by that time-well goodness knows
The women may be wearing pants.
THE MESSENGER is hard to beat,
It's good home paper every line,
Forever float that standard sheet.
It's friend of yours and a friend o1
mine.
The Mackay Dam will cease to leak
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine;
They'll dam it to McCaleb's Peak
And dam it to the White Knob Mine.
And when they've got it doubly dam
med
II it don't hold its water well
They'll go and have it rammed ant
jammed
And then they'll dam it clear to hell.
But will my subject never cease
And will these wonders ne'er decline.
There'll be feathers upon dogs ane
hair on geese
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine.

Comet to Center of Stage.

The folks who have been getting
up so early to see the comet have
been losing their beauty sleep to
practically no purpose, for the COM
ct when it was visible in the east
ern sky was somewhat of a dis
appointment. Its tail was first
visible, and was very distinct, but
you couldn't see the head. By
the time the head was in view the
tail had almost faded away, SO
you had to do your star-gazing by
installments. Those who were
disappointed at the show last week,
however, will get their recon-
pense from now on. Yesterday
morning we passed through the
dreaded tail of the comet, without
even so much as a scratch. Last
night the sun and the comet set so
near together that the latter was
largely obscured, but tonight Mr..
Halley's namesake will be on the
job in great style for few minutes,
and it will be a truly awesome
spectacle. Tomorrow night you
can see it for an hour or more, as
it doesn't set till 8:1I. Its size
will be enormous, and during the
month it will be the sight of a life
time, rising higher each evening
and appearing larger for few days
until it passes the earth. After
that it will diminish and shortly
will vanish altogether on its IS
year jaunt through the heavenly
void.

Vandals Cut Dam for Fish.

H. c. Ruckel informs us that
unknown parties cut the dam at
his fish pond out near Duval last
Saturday or Sunday night and
stripped the pond of it's fish.
There were no fish in the pond ex-
cept the small native fish such as
are found in every pond in the
country, bnt as the thieves cut
thru twenty-foot dam Mr.. Ruck-
ell thinks they must have been look
ing forsomething much fancier than
what they got. The entire neigh
borhood had free and unforbidden
access to the pond for fishing pur-
poses, which gives the affair a still
more puzzling aspect. Mr.. Ruck-
Ell says he will pay SIS for informa-
ton that will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the guilty parties.
He estimates the damage done at
about S2s.oo.

Barney Finn, of the Sarcoxie
Record announces that next week S
issue of his paper will be edited by
a minister. This recalls an ex-
change of courtesies between an
editor and a preacher in Kansas
a few years ago. The preacher
had critised the editors paper and
the editor had made remarks about
the preachers sermons and the
two decided that each could do the
others work more satisfactory
and the editor preached one Sun
day for the minister and the min
lister conducted the newspaper one
week. The result was the editor
preached damn poor sermon and
the minister got out hell of pa

A Record for "Knights Choice !"

1t would seem that the Hille
brothers, who a few weeks ago
broke the record for this county
by paying $1oo for single Lincoln
ram at F. w. Rumble's sale, knew
where their money was going when
they spent 1t. knights Choice"
the ram in question, sheared a
fraction more than 81 pounds of
wool, eleven and half months
growth, one day last week. So far
as is known, this is a record for
these parts. Wool is only 22c at
present quotations, but even at
that figure the ram paid his owners
$6.85 interest on their investment.
Mr.. Rumble, who has probably
raised more fine sheep than any
other man in the county, says up
to this time l have railways said
Knights Choice was the best
ram l ever owned with one excep-
ton. Since he pulled off this
stunt III say without reserve he's
the very best ram ever owned. !"
The Hille brothers also got 70
pounds of wool from a yearling
ram.

Myrtle Raney Baker paroled.

Mrs. Myrtle Raney Baker, who
was convicted of the attempted
murder of her husband, Alber6
Baker, in October, 1898, and who
was serving a six year Sentence IN
the penitentiary, was paroled by
Governor Hadley last Thursday.
She is afflicted with tuberculosis,
and can live but short time, it is
said.
The Baker case was one of the
most sensational in the history of
southwest Missouri and attracted
attention all over the country.
Baker charged his wife, brother-in-
law, and mother-in-law with three
separate attempts on his life. He
had his life insured,at their request,
for $40, 900, but had permitted the
policy to lapse. as he thought.
However, the two women kept it
paid up, unknown to him. The
guilt of the women was clearly
shown at the trial, but the brother
in-law, Thad Ramey, put up an
alibi defense that the state could
not break down. Mrs. Raney and
her daughter were sent to the
penitentiary five and six years re-
spectively. The case against Thad
Raney is still in court
