HOW'S CROPS?

Jed Hicks he drives up Main street
and he drops
In on ST Gregg; and 81 Gregg says:
'How's crops?"
And sometimes Jed says: Isl, new
er see
A crop like this one promises to bel"
And orders big-all kinds of farm
supplies,
Till ST gets real sunshine in his eyes
And says to Peter Pew, the drum
mer: Pew,
Make that ton of sugar I said, two;
And tell them hullsale fellows I'll
discount
Them bills of theirn and pay the
hull amount"
And then Scrimp Short, the banker,
he jest hops
Acrost the street and says to Jed:
"How's crops?"
And Jed says to him: 'Scrimp, she's
goin' to be
A bumper crop, l tell you-now,
you see!"
And Scrimp he rubs his hands and
feels his oats,
And tells his customers he'll take
them notes
At nine per cent; and finds he's got
about
Another fifty thousand to let out;
And thinks the notes can be renew
ed again
For mebbe eight per cent instead
of ten.
And old Doc Blake, he sees Jed
Hicks and slops
Right through the mud, and says to
Jed: "How's crops?"
And Jed says: doc, I never see
the beat
OF this here year for corn and oats
and wheat"
And Doc he smiles, because he's got
about
Five thousand on his books astand-
in out;
So, he goes to the garage apd says:
You better order me that new ma
chine
We talked about the other day
and goes
Into his tailor's for a suit of clothes
Jed Hicks amt much to look at
but his say
Is purity powerful in a business way;
And when he says the crop is hard
to beat
You see folks perk up along the
street.
81 Gregg, he gives big orders for
his store,
And Scrimp Short finds he's got a
plenty more
Good money to lend out; and every
where
You feel that easy-money coming
air;
1t has some meaning when Scrimp
Short he hops
Acrost the street and says to Jed ::
'Hows crops?"

wHIsKEY. PISTOLS AND LIFE.


These three-whiskey pistols and
life-do not go together, says the
Augusta Chronicle.
Where life and property are valued
one of the first two, if not both, mus
be eliminated, continues our contem
porary. Within a radius of half {
score of miles, within the past week
half a dozen people met death in g
Georgia community, all due to whis-
key and pistols. One man was shot
two drowned, two others ended their
career by meeting sudden ends, and
the other, by far the most pitable
of all, was that of young boy I'M
der the influence of whiskey shooting
his own sister, the mother of six
bright little children, while festive
scenes were being enjoyed in an adj
Joining room.
The expiation of the severest type
demanded by law can never recon-
pense any one of that large family
for the anguish that has been caused
them. No atonement under high
heavn can bring back the Olden, gold
en- days that reigned in that family
circle before the tragedy was done.
And back of this sad story stands the
pistol Even though it might, or
might not, have been intentional the
awful pity is not alleviated Had
there been no pistol there would have
been no fearful results.
From the house of JOY the scene
shifted to home of mourning, but
all the sorrow that has been garnered
since creations dawn will be wasted
on a desert that can never answer
back to the call. Eliminate the pis-
toll and the dreaded destroyer is put
away
Society should put a ban on the
weapon The man who carries one
should be OstraciZed, and the man
who carries it habitually will be-
come an habitual coward, who will
take only the advantage that deprav-
ed animal life will inculcate into his
system.
Too much of a burden is being
placed upon the people and upon the
law of the state by people of this
type, and the sooner drastic meas
ures are taken to absolutely prevent
infraction of the statutes the sooner
it will be for the better of the state
and the more certain and safe viii
be the rights to life and property il
this great, grand commonwealth
whose dignity is debased by such
infractions.

WOULD ABANDON FUR
SEALS TO EXTINCTION

The abandonment of the fur seals &c
determination was advocated today De-
fore the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations by Senator Clarke Of Arkansas. a
member Of the committee. The commit
tee was considering the House bill fol-
protection of the seals under the terms OF
the treaty between this country. Japan
Russia and Great Britain.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska pre-
scented an amendment extending the
closed season from one year to ten years
and after he had spoken in support Of his
proposition Senator Clark took position
not only in opposition to the amendment
but to any legislation.
He said that IL all the fur seals in the
Alaskan waters were killed and their
skins placed upon the London market
they would not bring to exceed q mil
lion dollars. In view of the fact that the
government now expends over $780, GOO q
wear for the protection OF the seals he
said that economy as well as the public
peace demanded that the industry be no
longer protected by this country. No &C.
tion was taken on the Hitchcock amend
men. or on the bill ifseif.
