In ST. LOUIS

st. Louis, Mo, Nov "a The annual
show of the st. Louis Poultry, Pigeon
and Pet Stock association opened in

Charles ". Morse, the rich banker, con-

He must inevitably die Of several incurable

All that he asks is that he should not die in

He is resigned to DEATH and only requests
that he be allowed to meet it on the outside Of

At all events, the Sugar-Trust Attorney
General does urge the President, and the Pres

Morse himself says that it cost him q quar-
ter Of q million d0lIars to get out Of the peni-
tertiary.
He bought his way to freedom-and he
necer qoos sick mem for single day.
MONEY made his case of sickness;
MONEY built screen around him; MONEY
paid for the lies that were told HONEY got
that shameful pardon.
Even had Morse been a sick and dying man,
that was no reason under the sun why he
should have been released on full pardon. He
had already been transferred to the hospital,
where the best Of physicians and nurses were
at his service.
Morse is now a picture of robust health,
as he always has been whenever any outsider
could catch sight of him.

time when the country was sadly divided
upon the Beecher-TiIton case.
The candidate was Justify haranguing his
dear people, beseeching votes. Upon the
Tariff, National banks, Rigid Economy, Pub
lic-of}ice a public-$rust, the position of the
said candidate seemed to be all that could
be reasonably desired.
But there was one man in the crowd who
seemed restless and dissatisfied. His mind
had evidently not reached a condition of
repose.
At last he used his hind legs, Strengthened
up, looked the candidate squarely in the eyes,
and sternly inquired
"Hoa0 do yo~ stand on this Beecher-Tizton

The candidate was momentarily dazed;
the audience bewildered.
The determined questioner stood right there
In the open-a free, unterrifed American
citizen resolved upon having information.
The candidate rallied superbly With a
defiant flourish Of his right arm, he
thundered-
"T'he gentleman aca7ts to h710aC h0ac stand

Now, that's exactly where [ stand on Suffra-

If several hundred more or less demented
females want to hike through the country,
to attend Presidential parade, let 'em hike.
It's nobody's business but theirs.
II they have husbands, the presumption is
that some family compact between stay
behind hubby and hike forward wife was
made, before the wife began to hike

But after those ladies had trudged through

Keep the Cultivator Going

From now on the harvest will be the
most critical period for dry land crops.
Get the weeds out Of your cultivated
crops They take just as much moist
ure out Of the soil as the same amount
OF crop. Every weed which you per-
NIT 70 grow is stealing water that
your crop needs. Get out the weeds.
Keep good mulch on the surface.
A four inch mulch has been found to
be about the most effective when
labor OF making it and the results are
considered. Be careful about thin
mulch and under crust. which often
forms Just below the mulch. The
water from below will move up into
this under crust, aod your thin mulch
will permit it to evaporate. Break up
this crust some way.

thin mulch and an under crust have
