Dern it all anyway! Being reporter
is hard life. This morning the man
aging editor called one of his staff to
his desk and said: Get up a nice
humorous story about the high price
of beef-something that will make
people laugh"
A nice, humorous story, indeed! Why
not suggest writing something funny
about the death of Cleopatra or the
funeral of Marc Anthony! Fancy a
reporter going to interview Mr.. L..
Consumer who has seven children, all
crying for meat, and three dogs. MI.
Consumer, tell us what you think
about the high price of beef. Please
make your remarks as pleasant and
funny as possible" What would hap
pen to the reporter is too painful to be
put in words.
OF course an interview might be
sought with the butcher. But he's
blamed by some for the high prices,
so the situation doesn't seem at all
funny to him. Butchers have been
known to hurl meat axes while under
stress of great feeling; so the reporter
didn't care to pay him visit.
There was nothing left to do but to
seek an interview with old Mrs. Cow
herself. The reporter found her re-
Ginning contentedly in field of clover
chewing a fragrant cud.
"Brindle, tell us what you think
about the high price of beef. Be pleas
ant anyway, and be funny if you
can"
IN view OF recent developments,
that is 10 say, the increased cost Of
beef, 1t is not at all difficult to be
pleasant" said the interviewed one,
with a most engaging smile, but il is
not my desire to detract from the dig
nifty which should attach to this inter.
view by attempting to be comical.

been too common. AS one of our

they don't appreciate us. How many
of your poets have sung of us? And
yet it was Browning, l believe, who
wrote some Of his best lines about
dog. Dogs aren't in the same class
with US. You can't eat a dog; or at
least you wouldn't care to unless the
price of beef gets little higher.
But all this will be changed. The
poets WILL sing of us-you just see.
In another year or two they'll be get
ting up odes to US. Here's a little
thing got UP myself, and l give it to
you with the prediction that Engiand's
poet-laueate will be claiming it as his
own within a year. Listen:
With bursting hearts we sing of thee;
With laurel wreath we crown thy
brow.
What would this hungry old world be
Without thee, tender, juicy COW?

Commits Suieide.-Thomas Madisoa
calmly swallowed bottle Of carbolie
acid Friday night at the livery barn
of Phelps & Schultz. Madison had
been brooding since Thursday morning
when he received a telegram announc-
ing the death of his father, which &C.
Cured IN Pittsburgh, Pa. The last
words of the unfortunate young man
were spoken to Ernest Phelps, the
barn boss Of the livery. Madison was
standing within few feet of him at
the time. The temporarily demented
teamster tipped the bottle containing
the deadly drink to his mouth and
drained 1t to the bottom. Madison then
fell 20 the floor and within few sec
onds was unconscious. Death result
ed about 20 minutes after taking the
dose. That the act was the result of
brooding and was premeditated there
IS not the slightest doubt. Madison,
who went here under the name Of Tom
Lynch, received the message contain
ing the news of the death of his father
Thursday. At the time he appeared
dazed. lie Immediately started drink
ing. When the closing hour came Fri
day night Madison was talking absent
mindedly to friends. Suddenly he
turned and walked away. He went
two blocks to drug store and there
purchased the fatal dose. After OBJ
ming the acid Madison returned to
livery barn, where he has been
employed during the past three weeks
. He walked to the rear of the barn and
there swallowed the poison. Coroner
Rudolph viewed the body and decided
that an inquest would not be neces-
sary.
