him with what was considered by
those present as a fitting rebuke.
Here it is:
When Democracy viii Die.
When the lion eats grass like an OK
And the fishworm swallows the
whale,
When the tarrapin knits wool socks
When the hare is outrun by the
snail,
When the serpents walk upright like
men
And the doodle bugs travel like
frogs,
When the grasshopper feeds on the
hen
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare
And snuff never makes people
When the fish creep over dry land
And mules on velocipedes ride.
When foxes lay eggs in the sand
And woman in dreams take no
pride,
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer
And girls get to preaching on time.
When the billygoat butts from the
And treason no longer is crime.
When the humming bird brays like
an ass
And limberger smells like cologne,
When plowshares are made out of
glass
And hearts of Kentuckians are
When sense grows in Republican
heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram.
Then the Democratic party will be
dead

Judge MuIIisan's Poetic Reply to
Statement That Democracy
is Dead.

A writer in the New York Herald
of Sunday commented on the humor
of Kentuckians, as follows:
Kentucky has long been known for
the mother of wit and eloquence as
well as the state of feuds. This
statef produced her Henry Clay, her
Bre kenridges, her Wattersons, her
Cri ndens, her Calhouns, and now
she " coming forward with new

w. B. Kimball, formerly represen-
tative, easily heads the list as an
after dinner speaker and has close
second in Col. George Balm, the well
known temperance lecturer, while
Judge James Mulligan is a real wit
and poet.

lecture to choice crowd of blue
stocking temperance people that Colo

mel Balm was accosted with the ques-
ton:
How is it, Colonel Balm, that you
have the nerve to preach temperance
when you come from Kentucky. the
state that has more distilleries than
any other state in the union?"
For a moment, and only for mo-
ment, Colonel Balm was embarrassed.
Then came the reply without any
hesitancy:
ooh yes. Kentucky-Kentucky,
the state where was born;
Where the corn is full of kernels

Returning home from Washington,

banquet was rendered to Mr.. Kim
ball. He had expected to make a
speech in which he would review his
congressional career. To his surprise
the POSTMASTER did not call for this,
but, asked Mr.. Kimball to respond to
the toast Kentucky" The congress-
man was clearly at loss, and in
sheer desperation he blurted out:
'Kentucky-f-a-i-r Kentucky" Here
he stopped to sip a drink of water.
When he resumed there was no hint
of hesitancy.
"Kentucky-the grandest state in
all the union-the state where the
ground is so mellow that all you have
to do is to tickle its sides and it yields
abundant crops. Kentucky; o Ken
lucky, where the grass is greener,
where the sky is bluer, where
the whiskey is better, where the wo-
men are more beautiful, where the
horses are faster, where politics is
rottener, where the feuds are thicker
where the mountains are higher and
where the valleys are lower than in
any other state in the union!
why, my God, gentlemen, believe
me, the mountains are so damned
high in Kentucky that from the top
most mountain peak you may reach
up and tickle the feet of the sainted
Democrats who have gone before.-
"And, gentlemen" here Kimball's
voice dropped to almost whisper

that you may reach down and hand
ice water to the Republicans who
have gone below"
But it remains for Judge James
Mulligan to reel off poetry extempora

probation OF her natural beauties.
But tourists are not purblind; they
and especially those who are afflicted

They never tire OF magnificent seen

the fact that most OF the city tourists
who patronize their inns. have fed
from the city as a relief against the
uncomfortable robbery to which
they too often have been subjected
during nine months in the year.
They should bear In mind that what
their guests require is good food. well

Vermont,s Divorce Evil

Every little while news item in
various papers in Vermont will say,
a large number of divorce libels will
be heard at the next term of court E"
The number is approximately so for
every term of court in populous
county and not so very much less in
smaller populated counties.
II might also be said that the major
ity of the applicants for freedom are
women. We do not understand why
married life is so much harder to bear
today than in the good old days when
man and maid looked upon the alli-
ance as worthy to be defended by the
loyalty Of each other. But If facts are
an index, It is harder to bear or else
the people contracting 1t are too weak
or selfish to make the best of their do
nestle complications until better days
come.
To the minds of many people the
cause of the increase is extravaganza
among the middle class.
The general distribution of prosper
ity for the United States which was
never so extensive as today, has given
rise to a feeling of discomfort among
lot of people who have not the price
to pay for the qualification of every
caprice that they see more fortunate
people than they enjoying. When
life begins to look like perpetual
nose to the grandstone" existence,
married people. unless they are very
sensible have a habit in these latter
days of twitting each other on the fact
that one or the other is responsible for
the condition of the family finances
This leads TO unpleasantness and the
divorce court frees them of their fan
cied torment.
We believe in more general educa,
tion on the subject of marriage than
has hitherto been common in America
II this is vital factor in the mainten'
ance of society why should it not be a
subject that is looked at in the light
OF common sense, instead of some
thing into which any two people can
rush without the least idea of its re
sponsibility.
Young people. by the average par
ent, are not taught enough about what
calamity marriage can result in, un
less IL is wisely contracted, the diseas
ed and the semi-idiotic are as free &c
obtain a license from the town clerk
and as certain to find an officer Of
church or state to perform the cere
mony. is II any wonder that so many
wedlocks are the romance Of Hell an(
an insult to the real purposes of the
institution.
The divorce evil is growing or
account of the laxity in performing
marriages. When there is an abolit
ion of countenancing the wedlock o
the physically and mentally unfit, par
of the divorce evil will be stopped.
When there is some common sens'
used in the matter of automobile tast,
and wheelbarrow income. the rest will
be stopped.--Windsor Journal
