Well, fellers, I have managed to

as the average, Or better. I have to
look after all the mechanical details
Of the Office work, besides a lot of
outside business, and it don't leave
me much time to write UP the''juice."
But when all the necessary machinery
is installed and running smoothly,
then will have more time to write.
think you are getting your moneys
worth several times over, as it is.
Don't you?
A thousand thanks for the splendid
support you have been giving me, and
let the good work go On. There is a
hot fight ahead for those of as who
want to see right and Justice prevail.
The Fool-Killer aims to be in the
thick of the fight, and it will need
your support right along. Send for
samples and scatter them out among
your friends. Then hustle up clubs
and fire them in. On with the fight!

But great long face won't win the

Man is a QUAR- Duck, Too.

Talk about wimmen being
QUAR-! OF course they are, sorter,
but the men are purity tolerable
QUAR-, too, when you come to
think about it. Now you take a
man at his own home. If he had
to climb up on a high stool in
front of a table with no cloth on
it and eat his meals that way,
wouldn't he raise cain in a hurry?
You bet! But the old fool will go
to a cheap restaurant, crawl up
on a greasy stool between two
dirty tramps and gobble down a
hunk Of raw mule and a bowl of
soup made out Of dish-rags ane
rain water, and swear he enjoys
it all. Let a mans wife at home
offer him a piece Of pie from
which she or one of the Children
had taken a bite, and he would
holler his head off. But he will
get out in a crowd and borrow a
chaw of terbacker from the first
straggler he meets and set his
teeth into the plug where a con-
sumptive Chinaman has bit off a
chaw, and that's all right.
At home he won't drink milk
out of a glass from which one of
the family has been drinking,
but just call him into the back
stall of a livery stable and pull
out a bottle and he will stick the
neck of the bottle six inches
down his throat in order to get a
swig, after half dozen nasty
niggers have had the bottle-neck
in their big black mouths.
Verify, man is QUAR- duck.

A Kussed Kusser Kusses Kussing.

That cheap imitation of a sorry
paper which calls itself The Hor-
net reminds me of a crippled
toad-frog trying to stand on it's
head and swaller itself. In re-
cent issue it jumps astraddle Of
Oldjo Cannon's corporosity and
declares that the use of cuss
words was what put the fxins on
Oldjo's political career. May be
some truth in that, for Oldjo's
cusser is an automatic eight-day
cusser and runs on hot air like
creased lightning down a tele-
graph pole. But read further
along in this same Hornet and I
find the dams, darns, and other
web-footed cuss-words thicker
than sour gnats around cider
tub. Probably The Hornet ima-
gines that it can put a stop to the
habit of cussing by wearing out
all the cuss-words itself.

When there is nothing else to

brace and slobber over each other
equal to Malinda and her sweet

A Sermon On Sky-Scrapers.

Any man who will stop and
think about it just a minute is
bound to admit that he is a blam-
ed fool. For no being that isn't a
candidate for the bug-house
would ever be guilty of doing a
lot of things that we two-legged
human animals practice every
day.
Oh, yes, / know we boast of
being powerful smart and intel
lectual creatures, with reasoning
powers far superior to cows,
ducks and grub-worms, but in
some respects we are a heap
bigger fools than all other var
mints put together. Our very
smartness runs away with itself
and upsets our wagon of advance
ment in the ditch of folly.
My thinker gave birth to the
above rumination after reading
a magazine article on the subject
of ''Skyscrapers. The tall build
ings of New York and other
cities we're described and illus
trated- buildings from fifty to
seventy-five stories high and to
that was added the prediction
that they would continue to go
higher.
Now it takes a certain kind of
smartness to build skyscrapers
and pack them full Of humanity
like bees in a hive, but | wonder
if it wouldn't be better common
sense to stay closer to the ground
I look around me and see the
vast extent of open country
and think of the still vaster ex.
tent that I have not seen!-ano
then it strikes me as exceedingly
odd that people have to pack uI
in cities, one on top of another,
just as if there wasn't another
inch Of available space on earth
A hog or a sheep, or any Other
four legged brute, would have
more sense than that. A hog
knows that acorns fall wherever
oak trees grow, and they dom
all try to live under the same
tree. If a cow can't get to graz<
on one bunch of grass, she smile:
and trots off in search of another

THE Pope to-day sat in an

Oh, golly! I thought they had
been telling us all the time that
the Pope was purely a religious
functionary and didn't have any
thing to do with matters of state.

he have to maintain a State De-

CHAUFFEUR ESCAPED INJURY
Owner of Truck Who Was Killed
Was Taking Heavy Load Of
Furniture to Burlington

Fred w. Runnells, furniture and
piano mover OF Springfield. Mass,
was killed near South Royalton, VT
when his automobile truck, loaded
with seven tons of household furni-
ture that he was taking from Spring
field to Burlington broke through a
bridge over a creek on the South Roy
alston-Barre road about p. m. yes
terday Mr.. Runnell's was riding on
the drivers seat of the truck with
Fred Greene, the chauffer The
truck was almost exactly in the mid
die of the bridge when the tlmbers
gave way, letting the truck down to
the bed of the stream, 20 feet below.
Ii is believed that one of the heavy
timbers of the bridge struck Mr.. Run
nells, breaking his neck. He was
thrown from the truck into the water
Greene, who was not injured, went
to his rescue and climbed up on the
bridge with the body of his employer

This was the second accident that tn,
party encountered on the trip. When
they were going through the town of
Sharon, a small bridge gave way
but aside from delaying them for a
few hours no damage was done.
1t is said to be the first time that
Mr.. Runnells had taken load of fur
niture on so long trip, and the un-
dertaking was an experiment. for
which reason Mr.. Runnells had ac-
companied his chauffer. Only the
central portion of the bridge was
broken down, so that persons who
lived in the neighborhood were able
to go out on the parts that remained
in place. The truck remained in an
upright position in the bed OF the
creek The bridge is near the plant
OF the South Royalton electric light

GIRL TOOK BIcHLoRlDE
Rutland Girl Dependent Because
Deserted by Lover.

Rutland, Nov 7.-Bichloride of
mercury seems likely to prove the
short concluding chapter of another
sad life-story, although the physi-
clans last night held out some hope
for the recovery of Miss Della C. Abb
bolt, the 17-year-old daughter of l..
E. Abbott who says she took one and
one-half tablets of the deadly poison
yesterday, while in a state of re-
morse and dependency.
While the physicians are not alb
solutely certain that the girl took
the poison there is but slight
doubt of it, as last night at the Rut-
land hospital she was showing near
ly all the symptoms, though not in
extreme pain, so far as could be OBJ
served. She took the tablets about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon while
alone at her home and did not re-
o'clock. when she mentioned her
rash action to neighbor who came
in.
The motive for the deed, as given
by the girl herself, was remorse at
her recent flight from the home of
her parents in company with Russell
Chaisson, a 19-year-old boy, and de-
spondency because of the failure of
her companion in fight TO return and
make her his wife. The two young
people about six weeks ago disappear
ed from this city and last week the
girl returned to her home alone. and
would give no further explanation of
her course than TO say she and
Chaisson had parted, and were not
married. She would not tell where
the young man could be found, bu'
1t is said that last week he was in
Boston.
