Take Me Home

Take me back to old Kentucky,
Where the crystal waters CLINT
AS they dance along the borders,
Through the fragrant beds of mint;
Where the Iasses and the horses
Are but terms for grace and speed,
And the whiskey and the statesman
Are both noted for their bead"
Take me back to old Kentucky,
Where strong waters flow so free;
Where they cool off in the summer,
Meath the spreading julep tree;
Where the high balls" and the "low
balls"
Always hit the center square;
And you never have next morning,
Rheumatism in your hair.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
Where the blue grass decks the hills,
Where they have no use for water,
Save for operating mills:
For they scorn it as beverage,
On that dark and bloody ground
AS they ciaim-e'er since the deluge-
That it tastes of sinners drowned.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
To the state where was born;
Where the corn is full of kernels,
And the Colonies full of corn
Where to disapprove that beverage
Is to toy with sudden death;
And they have bonded warehouse
Where they barrel up their breath.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
Let me hear the pistols pop,
See the pigs and politicians
! With their shouts deep in slop;
Take me back to those blue mountains,
Where they argue points with lead;
But you needn't rush the matter
Take ME back when | am dead.

would not change his previous state
ments. declining to run.
judging from the sounds which
emanated from the big counsel room
at the National Progressive head
quarters. the debate was q lively one,
with Colonel Roosevelt on one side
and everybody else on the other. Geo.
W. Perkins and perhaps thirty others
attended the conference.
Colonel Roosevelt was told that in
his own party there was an over
whelming demand for him to lead the
party, and straw votes taken In various
sections of the state were submitted
to him in an effort to prove that he
would gain support from both the old
parties and be elected.
II spent the time listening" said
Colonel Roosevelt. with q smile. when
he came out of the room. II have not
got anything to say about the COVER

politics. II 1 have anything to say
