or course, you remember the old story s6F
- of the fool farmer who wanted to
break in young steer, and who had no
OK to do it with, and who hit upon the happy
idea of playing OK himself
You remember that, after he had yolzed the
young steer and had put his own neck through
the yoke, the steer broke off into cheerful
gallop, in which the fool farmer had to join,
willy nilly.
OF course, you remember how the fool far
mer kept yelling, as he and the steer loped
down the road-'Head us off, somebody!
On our fool souls, head us off!'
Well, that's almost exactly what the Pro
fessor-that's your President, you know-has
done in this Mexican business.
The Professor yearned to break in this
young steer, and teach it the ways of peaceful
pulling
So he goes and puts his slender and lengthy
neck into the yoke with this long horned
Mexican quadruped, and says soothingly--
"Come along now, and behave yourself, and
do as I tell you, and, in little while, you
will be as respectable an OK as / am"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-06-11

Bless goodness The yoke had no sooner
closed around your Presidents windpipe, than
old Huerta began to gallop down the Big
Road.
According to the Brazilian Ambassador,
your President loudly called for help, and
the A. B. G. Mediators-pluS Joe Lamar and
a person who bears the suspicious name that
is pronounced Lemon-have been sent to
Canada to head off the fool farmer who yohed
himself to the sportive young steer.
/ know you must feel very proud of your
President. If he were mine, it would be
different
Consider the facts:
G.) Huerta was Madero's trusted man; and
he used his place to betray and murder his
master. The plot was Matched and practically
carried out at the American Embassy. We
disgraced Henry Lane Wilson, who was a
party to it; and we honored Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, who was also party to it.

Nobody Wants TO Drag the Frank Case Into

| MESS somebody dopes out some political
nerVlne In Atlanta soon, we will have a
few nervous wrecks on our hands.
Atlanta is overlooking with patriotic Solo,
mons; but they are as badly afflicted with
nerves, as the drummer was, who had to eat
fried ham and pork sausage, on a Hebrew
stomach.
There's our self-appointed Senatorial
Goliath, for instance. He's looking like he
the size of David.
They say that Senator Goliath is losing
color-partly on account Of two gentlemen Of
color-and his once beautiful cheeks are sagg-
ing down on each side of his lovely mouth,
like the skirts of an English saddle
just case of nerves, you see. 1t used to
be that none except the women had nerves;
but we've all got em, now. Especially, us
politicians who tell lies, abuse victories,
imagine that there will be no Hereafter, and
then wake up suddenly, to find ourselves
beleagured by Slick Thompson-L Lincoln
Johnson-Bob Terrell, and William uly-fy
Harris mess. Accentuated, as John Temple
Graves would say, by Hooper Alexander.
Such Hereafter as that is enough to
make any mans cheeks hang down in pouches.
We made Goliath Smith walk the floor, in
1908; after his first series of perfdies and
treacheries
This time, he won't be able to walk the
floor, unless Harris holds him up on one side
and Slick Thompson scotches, on the other.
But what [ intended to say was this
Nobody In our faction a0ants to drag the
Frank case into politics.
But, if the Smith Gray Haas Burns-J Jour-
nal crowd drag the case in, q0eW see to 1t that
the case Is taken care of.

Whenever the National Pencil Factory is
flung into Georgia politics, the infamous Full

We 2rW see TO that!
Try it on, Gentlemen, try it on
The th-Gray Hardwick- Badly Harris
faction has been outraging common decency,
thaott1ing free speech; outl0wing every Geor-
gi0n 20ho uoted for Terrell, Joe Broom and
Undermood; breaking up public meetings,
bOaCIl1g speakers DOM. and attempting to
browbeat into abject servility all Georgians
qUho acre not for sale.
WE ARE TIRED OF IT!
And now, when they attempt to intimidate
Hugh Dorsey's friends, by claiming that his
candidacy would mean the bringing of the
Frank case into politics. we take up the chal-

EXPLOSIVE MINERAL Is
DISCOVERED At STEMS

Considerable Of d sensation was
caused by the discovery in the noun
tains south Of Stems Of a mineral
that completely battles the knowl-
edge of the local experts in that line.
The substance, whatever Il may BE-,
is white like chalk and easily broken.
The peculiar thing about II is that
when broken up and placed over an
ordinary fire il explodes with loud
report and burns like sulphur except
that the blaze is of different colors.
Mr.. Jones, who discovered the pc
culiar stuff, has sent samples to dit
ferent assayers for report ON the
same. He has staked out and done
assessment work on two claims which
cover the deposit. EVERYBODY is anxi-
ously awaiting the result of the as

The dust Of the streets, which is

CONGRESSMAN FERGUSON
ON MIMBnES VALLEY WATER

The following letter was received
by Secretary Willard +. Holt of the
Deming Chamber Of Commerce and
is self-explanatory.
my Dear Mr.. Holt:
81 received in due time your letter
of July II, calling my attention to
the inadvertence of my speech on the
GAO acre homestead bill in saying
that the Mimbres Valley was under
laid by lake, when, as n matter OF
fact. | was only trying to give DEM
ing and the Mimbres Valley II Just
and due advertisement and AS Illus
irating the point | was making III be-
half of the enactment of my grazing
homested bill.
"IJpon reflection, after receiving
YOUR letter, | see that it is much bet
ter for the public TO know that the
Mimbres Valley is not over stag
nant lake, but has a flowing river
under it, and ! enclose to you, under
SEPARATE cover, a copy of the Con-
gressional Record showing yon the
use | made of your letter, ut page
1870. am sincerely glad you call.
cd my attention to this matter, rs
nm like all New Mexicans-certainly
proud Of the Mimbres Valley and the
growing city of Deming.
"As to the postscript of your let
ter, asking me to get you any l'iera-
ture | can from the Department
touching the tomato blight which has
deyeloped in your section. shall at
once personally call the attention OF
the Department to this matter ana
ask that all the available literature
be sent you. shall also insist that
il is important enough to send an IN
spector to study this peculiar affllc-
ton that has appeared in your region
on the young tomato plants. You will
hear from me, or the Department, or
both of us later on this subject.
Very sincerely yours,

yellows and grays picked out in cobalt blue, cerise and red under the tropic night, made picture never to be for gotten.
 The old chaps who built Havana cer- tainly knew their business. They may have been a bit stingy in the matter of streets, but they put walls that will stand till the crack of doom, and they knew color.
 I prowled for hours through the gaunt old narrow streets, rarely more than wide enough for two coaches to pass. Iron balconies overhang nearly to the middle of the highway. Side walks there are none, or only. a little 18-inch shelf. Frequently bright col orded awnings are stretched across the street from house to house. The heavy doors of iron or oak are always open through the day and early evening. You get glimpses back into dim patios set with dwarf palms, frequently with a naked baby rolling on the floor and somersaulting, chicken or two-the feathered kind, of course. You get whiffs of garlicky cookery that make you want to explore.
 Being Sunday, Havana was taking her simple pleasures. Up around the middle of the town there is one of the open-fronted cafes on pretty nearly every corner, and through the after noon it seems that the entire popula- tion sit at the little iron tables slipping their coffee or cognac and playing dominoes. And what fun they do get out of dominoes! What chattering in soft Spanish and what a waving of eloquent hands! And over it all there is constant spicy haze produced by the famous allwooI cigarettes of the country.
 On Sunday anyone who isn't sitting in cafe walks on the Prado or on the Malecon, the wide esplanade down by the sea wall where the band plays all the day. The parade from the lower end of the Prado to the park will fur nish samples of a whole lot more than 57 varieties of Cubans. They are mighty badly graded as to color, run ming from pale lemon to patent leather shine.
 There is always scattering of tour ists, but fewer this year than usual. wonder why. The hotels are good and Havana is fine place to rest, and if one really wants a taste of feverish tropical entertainment, it may be had at any time after g p. m. Everything else aside, Havana is worth a trip just for a look.
 Did I say that Havana is wicked? We'll, there's the Zaza motion picture show, and-oh, the Zaza motion pictures are enough for any town.
