MAY FORECASTS in SMALL DOSES.
Easy TO Take and Warranted Right Half the

In May the blithesome farmer in the
early gray of morn, puts the harness
on his horses and goes forth to plant
his corn. The mocking bird is singing
and the robbin chirrups loud, the
turkey gobbler STRUTS around so arro-
CANT and proud, the wrens are very
busy now with their nesting and their
wooing, while the blue jays in the locust
tree indicate there's something doing,
and all the feathered songsters in the
early gray of morn ere out to greet the
farmer when he starts to plant his
corn.
The swallows twitter gayly and are
building in the caves, the hickory buds
are swelling and pushing out their
leaves, the lambs are running races
down in the pasture let, while the
housewife leaves her other cares to
work the garden plot. The quail is
skulking slyly near where she has her
nest, the meadow lark conceals her
eggs under her speckled breast, the
restless thrush fits through the hedge
in the early gray of morn and greets
the happy farmer going forth to plant
his corn.
The bluebells in the forest send forth
their sweet perfume, the buttercups
and daisies in the meadows are a. bloom.
the apple trees are wearing their crown
of pink and white and the glory of the
springtime is now at last in sight!
The long and dreary winter with
patience we can bear just for glimpse
of spring with flowers in her hair! All
nature smiles when sweet voiced May
is born and when the happy farmer
i goes forth to plant bis corn.
| would rather be farmer and work
hard all my life than to be politician
and undergo the strife | would rather
have cottage with vines about the
door, little land to cultivate. with
hope of getting more than to be
politician and struggle for a place,
with the moocher and the CRATER to
vea me in the race l would rather
sit beneath the trees and live life
obscure, with children running on the
grass, and happiness secure, I'd rather
listen to the birds and their melodiuos
notes than to be politician and have
to beg for votes.
About the l7th w. j. Bryan and
Judson Harmon will begin their old
game OF pussy. wants q corner and
Willie Hearst will begin to make signs
and talk on his fingers. This will bring
on heavy rains, thunder and lightning,
hail, siesmic shocks and general
cataclysm.
Toward the latter part of the month
the high school graduate will glide to
the foot lights and tell US to hitch our

That will probably be her farewell

The Morris Grand was packed to its
capacity Friday evening when Geo. w.
Egan, candidate for governor spoke on
political issues of the day. He was
introduced by j. f. Parks and after
few opening remarks quickly warmed
up to his subject, which dealt chiefly
with the present administration at the
state capital. Egan is man, who, by
his gift of oratory can keepsn audience
interested on most any subject and

interesting as his sharp sarcastic re.
marks are so veiled with tinge of
humor that even mis- opponents concede
him exceptional power when placing
subjects before an audience in con-
vincing manner. He took a crack at
one of his opponents, Mr.. Byrne, and
literally jumped on Bssford, Byrne's
campaign manager. with both feet. He
was roundiy spplauded during his talk
and without doubt picked up . few
scattering votes.
