GOD GAVE US MEN.
God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith,
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does
not kill,
Men whom the spoils of office can
not buy,
Men who possess opinions and a will,
Men who have honor, men who will
not lie,
Men who can stand before dema-
gogue
And scorn his treacherous flatter-
les without winking
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog,
In public duty and in private think
ing,
For while the rabble with their
thumb-worn creeds,
Their large professions and their
little deeds
Mingle in selfish strife, To- freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting
justice sleeps.

The Man Who Killed His Hen

His hen laid golden eggs, and he
killed her. You have heard OF him?
No. Well, will tell you.
About 1000 years ago wise man,
Aesop, told us a fable. He said:
There was a man who had hen that
daily laid for him golden egg, and
he was very prosperous. He was get
ting rich SO fast he went crazy and
played the fool. He would not let
we'll enough alone. He cut open his
hen thinking her insides we're made
Of gold. and he would get his riches
in lump. When 1t was too late he
discovered his folly. He had killed
his wealth producer. No more daily
golden eggs. They were things of
the past. His prosperity was ended.
Calamity was upon him and his. There
was weeping and wailing on account
of his hard luck he has brought upon
himself With his own knife he had
killed his best friend when he killed
his prosperity maker.
That foolish fellow lived in ancient
times, but his prosperity is still upon
the earth and here in the United
States. The Democratic knife was
used upon the Republican party, and
We had the Cleveland panic, low
prices, people out of employment
closed factories, closed mines, dis
tress everywhere, and there was wall
ing in the land. The people repented
their folly. They preferred the party
that gave them prosperity, and re
stored the Republican party again tc
power. Again they had plenty and to
spare. They grew rich daily unit
now, and as a people, under the Re.
publican party's management, we have

Down at Homestead, Pa, a girl OF
Is, who had joined a gossiping group
of wives of employees OF the Carnegie
steel mill, resented reflections on her
love affair with base ball bat. The
young one waded into the elders with
fury OF woman scorned. In few
minutes 100 women were engaged in
the awful mixup. A live Imagination
can picture the carnage with the aid
OF the single statement that one Of the
seven women arrested was stripped
OF her shoes and was sheltered in a
horse blanket provided by a kindly
cop.

in Northern India for the purpose of
exploration. Their idea was 10 60 up

that region which was recognized as

the expedition to proceed, but on the
understanding that a strong armed
force would be taken along for pro-
lection.
The explorers, however, and espe-
cisIlv Mr.. Williamson, who seems to
have been in charge Of The expcdi-
ton, in contempt Of good advice, and
in the bardihood Of ignorance, pro

the London authorities enjuined upon
him to take, and the whole party was
ambusbed by the natives and all killed
