A Monkey Or A Fool.

There is feller in the Univer-
sity of Missouri who is either
monkey or a fool. Here is the
complete story:
DIR. E. t. Bell, of the Univer-
sity Medical Department, claims
to have discovered among all the
students of the school just one
poor fellow who positively de-
scended from a monkey. Doc has
found a bump on the students ear
which he says is q never-failing
sign.
Shucks, Doc, that might have
been a 'skeeter bite, for all you
know.
But if the student thus accused
of being monkeys grandson
don u cause two-handed club to
descend onto the head Of that pro-
fessor, dogged if I won't begin to
believe he is guilty of the charge.

mighty poor foundation for any,
body to stand on.

Killer to please everybody that

things right and left, and am
the aptest in the world to biff
you one on the busser if you get

mischief old Pearson is going to

Say, pardner, answer me this:
Amt you got more respect for
the man who honestly disagrees
with you and tells you SO than
you have for the little old whining
Whimperdink who agrees with
everything and amt got no more
convictions than a toad-frog?
Sure you have.
Then give me your grab
bier on this proposition, and the
next time The Fool-Killer hap
pens to tread on your sore toe,

Why is it that you see every
where opulent wealth on one
hand and abject poverty on the
other?
Why is it that though the mills
and elevators are bursting with
grain, the groceries and markets
full of meats, fruits and %ege-
tables, thousands of our people
are but half fed?
Why are the clothing stores
piled to the ceiling with clothing,
yet thousands are but half
clothed?
Why do we always have an
army of unemployed, with two
million children working in mills
and factories?
Why do Is per cent Of our peo-
pie pay rent when five sixths of
land is idle and unoccupied?
Why do wepreach against tax
alton without representation, and
then. howl against equal suffrage?
Why do we pretend to love and
respect our women, and then
class them with criminals, idiots
and aliens?
If the average worker produces
So, 900 of wealth per annum and
receives back 5000 in wages, what
becomes of the other So, 400?
When the protected interests
in this country pay sixteen mill
ion dollars into campaign fund
for one Grand Old Party, and then
sixteen million more into a cam
paign fund for the other G. O. P,
do they know beforehand just
about what they are going to get
lin return, or is it a mere matter
of patriotism?
Why should a class Of people
whose interests are identical vote
against each other?
Why do we always fight effects,
and apparently forget that there
never was an effect without a
cause?

With jug of corn ikker,
And tongue even slicker
Than ever was known in the earlier
days, @
He starts out to travel,
And paw up the gravel,
And raise merry he'll in a number of
ways.
He stops at city,
And oh, what pity!-
He goes in house and proceedeth to
speak;
He speaks till the winders
- Are broke all to flinders,
And the old shingles rattle for nearly
week.
A few solid voters,
And all of the floaters-
The riff-raff of every political craft
Come crowding and pressing,
Their sins all confessing,
And asking slice of his juciest graft.
The worlds full of tronble,
And life is bubble
That floats on the crest of an ocean of
sin;
But my greatest objection
At every election

We often hear some of our old

they amt the same gals nohow.
Up north few days ago feller.
who had been sentenced to life.
Imprisonment was pardoned. He
had been in cell, cut off from
the world, for thirty years and had
not seen any changes that had
taken place durin' that time. A
newspaper man asked him what
he thouht had changed most.
"Well,'' said he, everything has
changed mighty, but I reckon gals
has changed more than anything
else. Thirty years ago a gal wore
hoop-skirt as big around as a
hogshead, but now they wear a
dress that looks like one leg of q
dudes britches and their figure is
flat and oblong like pencil-case.
The way the gals have changed
surprised me q lot more than auto
mobiles and airships.''
Hanged if they amt changed.
Nowadays when q little gal finds
she has sweet, purity voice she
wants to light out to some city to
go on the stage and feels disap-
p'inted if she can't git to go. But
she hadn't oughter be. She can be

UNCLE BEN.

Once upon a time there was a
feller named Ben Franklin. Ben
jamin was the tail-end. of a pro-
cession of seventeen Franklin off
springs. His first wise act was
to choose Boston for his birth
place.
During of Ben's kidhood days
he engaged in the greasy and in
teresting Occupation of furnish
ing taller candles to the people
Of Boston. AS that was way back
in the dark ages, and being as
there was no Sherman law then,
Ben done a good business and
soon saved up enough kail-seed
to allow him to retire from the
candle business and accept a
position as printers devil. But
Boston printers hardly ever raise
the devil, and as our hero thought
he deserved a promotion, he
packed up his little bag and bag
gage and beat his way on a freight
train as far as Philidelphy.
Benjamin made his first big hit
in the Quaker City by Waiting
up Main street with two loaves
in his mouth and one under his
arm.
After working around at sew.
eral different printshops, Ben de.
cided to go into the almanac bus
mess. He made good at that too
One day when there was {
thunderstorm and Ben having
took on to much bulge, got out
kite and started flying it. AS {
result he was struck by a small
portion of lightning and an ides
that was as bright as the light
ming. Benny turned the lightning
loose, but kept the idea and pass
ed it along to a few of his friends
They thought it a good idea
which proved to be correct.
He left a number of copies o1
his autobiography, a book that il
full of good old advice, but it has
been used so doggone little tha1
it is most as good as new.

letter to John Kelly, asking him to pre-
vent Grady's return to the senate
Mr.. Cleveland said with other things
that Grady's activities in the senate In
terfered with his personal comfort"
So Grady, with his silver tongue and
stinging wit went out in great huff
from the ranks of the party, took the
stump against Cleveland, supporting
cold until at special election in 1889
he was reelected to the senate, only
however. to be defeated in the same year
when he stood for reelection.
Unique Marriage Announcement.
His one romance was his marriage in
1887 to Flo Irwin, the actress. Curious
ly enough, the marriage of the prominent
politician was secret until it came out
in an Advertisement, inserted by his wife
which read:
To those whom it may concern-Be il
known that I am the lawful wife OF
Thomas F. Grady. Mrs. Thomas F.
Grady, better known as Florence Irwin,
September 6, 1887. ITO West 18th street
In 1902, Grady divorced her.
Political leaders, declaring Grady had
been made the scapegoat for all the
sins Of Tammany," asked Mayor Gran,
to give him some reward. The result
was his appointment to police magis-
tracy In 1896 he went back to the sen
ate and served there continuously
since, acting as minority leader until the
democrats won a majority, when Grady
was embittered to find himself thrust
aside and the leadership given to Senator
WAGNER. He became lax in attendance
at the senate, save during the controversy
over the choice Of United States SEN
ator, when he was constantly on the
ground and constantly voted for William
F. Sheehan to succeed Chauncey NJ. De-
pew.

SUFFRAGE IN IDAHO.
Montana Named by Mistake in DR.
Tindall's List,

DR.. William Tndall, secretary of the
board Of District Commissioners, and
also a vice president of the Equal Suf-
frage Association Of the District, today
called attention to the fact that Idaho
and not Montana should have been in
cluded in list of the states having wom-
ans suffrage which he gave in an inter-
view to The Star Thursday. DR.. Tndall,
in his interview. aimed to show what ef-
feet the womans vote would have on the
next presidential election. He mentioned
the six states which have woman's suf-
frage, and included Montana by mistake
instead of Idaho. AS both Montana and
Idaho have the same number of electoral
votes in the selection of President, he
said. the error had no. effect upon his
conclusions.
