GREAT GOBS OF SORROW.

Joe Bailey has resigned again!
Amt it just dreadful?
How can we ever stand it?
And they have gone and stuck
a little old editor in Joe's place.
OF course he will rattle around in
that great seat like hickory-nut
in a barrel.
And there goes the glory of
Texas, like warty toad jumping
in a we'll.
On the day that the immortal
Joe said goodbye to the Senate,
there was weeping and blowing
of noses.
There has been sorrow in
Washington before, but nothing
like this.
The big brass Indian on top of
the Capitol dome sobbed so hard
that the basement trembled, and
the flood of tears that he shed
raised the Potomac River nine
feet.
The figures in Statuary Hall
got down on their knees, and
Greenough's Washington came
running in from the plaza to ask
what was the matter.
All over the great building
stood little wads of statesmen
wringing their hands and weeping
on each others necks, while four
niggers we're kept busy bailing
out the Senate chamber with
silk hats.
And all the time there stood
Joe Bailey squirting eloquence
like a fire hose squirts water, and
apparently unconscious of the
great sorrow into which he had
plunged this nation by resignine
from the Senate.

Last September when printed
my picture in The Fool Killer,
one Smart Elick writ me a sassy
letter about my big mouth. That's
all right. buddy-I always did
like big mouths. They give a.
body a better chance when the
pie comes around; and, in the
case of a girl, there's more to
kiss. Come again.

Hurrah for Parcel Post.

Oh, see the postman coming,
Sorter wobbly in the legs,
With dozen pounds of butter
And crate or two of eggs.
There's peck of Irish potatoes
In your Uncle Sammy's rig,
And a sack or two of -four,
And a puppy and pig.
Oh, the postman is blessing
In these glorious latter days;
We rejoice to see him coming,
And we love to sing his praise.
Glory! See the pretty bundles
All piled up here in the door!
Guess they came from Roars & Saw
buck
Ever see the like before?

MILKING A HAY-STACK.

Milwaukee, Wis, Special.-A Mil
waukee company has been incorpor-
ated to place on the market new
substitute for milk, which in brief is
to be milk prepared direct from hay
without the Intervention of COW.
The new company is to operate un-
der chemical formula which permits
of the transmutation of good timothy
hay into ash and milk, without pass
ing through the seven or so stomachs
of a bovine critter and being convert
ed by sundry processes into fluid
for drinking.
The advantage it is said, is not only
in simplifying the production, from
which it does not differ in taste, but
in the fact that the manner of it's
production makes it always sweet as
it is free from the souring bacteria
which have to be Pasteurized to
preserve NATURES milk.
Great Caesar up a pumpkin
vine!
What do you think of that,
Rastus?
Now what will become of poor
old Sock?
Bless her old bones, she did
the best she could, but google
eyed Science has laid it across
her at last.
She will now have to ramble
off into the Southern swamps
and live on bullrushes and South
wind.
One by one we outgrow the ole
institutions of nature and shove
them aside to make room fol
more improved machinery.
| The horse was all right in his
day and time, and even the meek
eyed mule was not to be grinnel
at, but they all had to skeedaddlt

And she winked at the bul
through the fence crack and wen
on licking her calf.
But that was in the past.
Things are different now.

before a fall. She must now be
relegated to the curiosity depart
ment, along with the horse and
the setting hen, and be remem-
bered only as a creature that has
had her day.
But while we drop a tear Of
sympathy for the departing glory
of her cowship, we must not for
get that her loss is our eternal
gain.
Henceforth we will milk hay
stack. And we can't deny that a
hay-stack, as a milk-producer,
has some decided advantages
over an old COW. If you never
MIXED hay-stack it may seem
a bit awkward at first, but you
will soon get used to it.
Just to mention them finland,
here are a few of the advantages
have in mind:
In the first place, a hay-stack
will not require as much atten-
ton as an old cow. You won't
have to stake it out to Craze, and
then watch it constantly for fear
it will tangle up and break it's
fool neck. 1t won't get into the
garden and eat up all the young
beans just about the time you
were hoping to get a mess for
Sunday dinner. Any self-respect-
ing hay-stack will have more
manners than to drag it's tail in
the barn-yard filth and then slap
it in your face while you are
milking. And it won't finder
away and kick you plum through
the fence and break down six
rows of corn with you just be-
cause fly bites it.
And-oh, happy thought if
you adopt the new plan and milk
a hay-stack instead of a COW,
there will never be any more
wobbly-legged calves to hold off
and wean. That fact will tickle
the small boy whose chief temp
tation to commit suicide and 20 to
an easier world has been the
dreaded arrival of a new calf.
Rejoice, o people, and be glad
You lived to see this day;
Go sell old Sooky right at once,
And buy stack of hay.

.PEARY IS TO Be GREETED
BY GE0GRAPHERS IN PARIS
tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
PARIS, June 2-Admiral Robert F..
Peary, the Arctic explorer, will arrive
here this week in response to an in
vitation addressed to him by the French
Geographical Society.
A great reception awaits him. He
will be received by the society in sol
emn seance at the Sorbonne and June
6 will deliver public address in the
enormous amphitheater OF the famous
institution.
Many believe the French society
would have ignored the presence of
Peary in France had there not been
somthins Of popular clamor for his
official recognition. He is said to have
strong opponents in the society, not
that they do not believe he reache /
the pole. but are piqued because he
failed to submit his proofs to the
French society at the time he honorei
lue bfltlSn SeOSrapherS.
DR.. Jean Chacot, the Antarctic ex-
piOrer, is one Of Peary's most ardent
supporters and he has several times
expressed establishment at the soci-
ety's failure to take some action hon
oring Peary. The fact that he is now
to be received and feted by the society
is regarded as a sort Of victory for
Peary.
When Peary landed at Marseillcs
some weeks ago the Geographical
Society took no part in his welcome
to French soil, though the society is
the oldest in France and one OF The
oldest in the world. The Marselles
society feted the American and appar-
emily his reception in France was II

Paris newspapers, however, began Q

the French Geographical Society, said
to be headed by one of the officers, re-
sented Peary's action In submitting his
proofs to the British society and moi
TO the French society. When officials
Of the society were asked if Peary was
not TO be invited 10 Paris, the reply
was: "Peary has not asked to be re-
ceived."
This statement came as something OF
bombsheli. Peary, then, would have
10 ask that he be invited, people cx-
claimed. Then the French Geograph-
ical Society might as well shut up shop
and go home if that was all they were
waiting for, certain of the newspapers

A new society formed for the pur-
