FATHER KICKS GOAL.

The football game was over, and the
parlor fire was great,
A long haired maiden and youth
were lingering very late,
They talked of punts and drop kicks,
and found it rather tame,
Until Cupid donned his nose guard,
and butted in the game
Quoth he, ITS mighty funny if I don't
arrange match"
So he lined the coy couple up and
made them toe the scratch.
The youth was growing nervous,
meath the weight of new found
bliss,
And he kind of thought the scrimmage
should end up with a kiss.
He charged upon the center, he tackled
left and right,
And the way they held that chair for
downs" was simply out of sight.
He tried an OSCILLATION, just as amatuer
affair,
But he lost it on tumble, and instead
it struck the air.
Then he landed on her ear, he heard
the maiden say,
you are penalized for holding, Jim,
likewise for offside play"
With set teeth he tried another, this
time succeeding fine,
For he scored an easy touchdown, on
the Crimson two yard line,
And as they sat there by the CRATE,
communing soul and soul,
The parlor door swung open and-her
father kicked goal.

TOUCHING THE WIRE

As result of the abuse of the priv ilege of sending telegrams at the ex- pense of the government, the United States Senate has been carefully con- sidering withdrawing this delightful per quisite from it's own members. It has come to such a pass that a good many public men, who do not have to pay the bill, have grown into the habit of touching the wire" when the mails would answer just as well. The prob ability is that a maximum amount will be agreed upon that will cut down some of the profits around the tele- graph office, at the Senate end of the Capitol. the rumpus all started last summer when a western Senator was discovered sending out telegrams by the cartload, covering all sorts of pol1t- ical matters in his state.

THE RAISING OF BABIES

There are 3OO,OOO babies die each year in the United States, and the Children's Bureau at Washington says that one-half of all these deaths would not occur If individuals and commun- ities applied those measures of hygiens and sanitation which are known to be available" There is no question of the correctness of this startling estimate, as it has been absolutely verified by the government. Miss Julia c. Lath- rop, Chief of the Childrens Bureau, comments that it was once thought that high infant death rate indicated a greater degree of vigor in the sur vivors." But this old-fashioned fal- lacy has been exploded; and when the public gives the same attention to the conditions surrounding the raising of babies as has been furnished by the government to dogs and other animaS life, then this terribly needless loss of 15O,OOO babies each year will be checked.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
 MEANT WHAT II SAID

1 It was fifty years ago that Maximil ian accepted the Grown of Mexico from the deputation at Miramar ,and thus was afforded the opportunity for the people of the United States to show to the world what they thought about the Monroe Doctrine" whether in their opinion 1t was joke or a reality.
 AS everybody knows, the Govern ment of the United States had it's hands full when the Austrian Arch duke came over to establish himself in the land of the Aztecs; and he was permitted to fix up his throne, mount it, and play emperor for time on these western shores.
 In the meantime the monarchists of Europe were nudging each other, ana with sly winks saying to one another, "We knew it. Uncle Sam was only bluffing. The Monroe Doctrine Is death" And then they laughed, and laughed again.
 Good-natured as he was, Uncle Sam got pretty mad, but he simply had to bite his lips, hitch up his trousers and stand it. Being right in the midst of the biggest and bitterest family row that ever tried nations strength he simply had no time to attend to any, thing else.
 By and by Uncle Robert" fought himself out of breath and fell down, the war ended, and the Union was saved.
 And then upon getting his mind a bit after his hard tussle with Johnny Reb," Uncle Sam spat in his hands, strengthened himself up, rolled up his sleeves and shouted to Maximilian to get out, that he wouldn't stand for the sort of thing he was attempting to do in Mexico" Maximillian shouted back that he didn't propose to get out at all; that there was a big nan over in Europe named Napoleon the Third, the great Emperor of France, and if Uncle Sam had anything to say it to Napoleon"
 Taking him at his word, your Uncle Samuel sent Napoleon word to recall his troops from Mexico at once, as their presence over here was distaste- full to him, and the suggestion did not have to be repeated The French troops were recalled.

STEADFASTNESS Is 4
 PROGRESSIVE VIRTUE
The Arizona Republican says:


 Members of the Progressive party from various sections of the state, who attended the party conference yesterday, will return to their homes carrying the glad news that the party is as verile and more earnest than ever. All rumors that there was a disposition anywhere among the Pro- gressives to turn back were dispelled by the unanimous action of the coun- cil, declaring against a merger with any party and against any sarifice of any principle of the party to the politi- cal ambition of any man:
 It was further stated by delegates to the conference that the sentiment expressed in the resolution was the sentiment of the members of the party in their various communities.
 It would have been remarkable if any other sentiment had prevailed in the conference; if there had been even a considerable volume of opposing sen- timent, considering the fact that the Progressive was the second party in the state two years ago and has since grown in strength. In these circum- stances, it had only encouragement to steadfastness. The conference could not have done otherwise than counsel steadfastness.

SHORTAGE OF MEAT ANIMALS


 While it has been asserted that there is great shortage of meat ami mals in the United States, which has produced great increases in valuations yet 1t is matter of statistical record that the farmers have not profited by the added valuations. The subject of our future meat supply is one of seri- ous concern to the country. Some of the more important contributing causes for the shortage of meat ami mals may be enumerated as the en- croachment of farmers upon range ter ritory; the shortage of corn and forage crops, due to severe droughts in some of the middle western states; in the value of land and the increased cost of labor and stock feed; as well as and south.
 Perhaps the most important reason for the decline in stock raising is due to the fact that marketing facilities have been turned over to the big pack CTS. Very strangely, meat raising is found to be unprofitable in most DOT tions of the United States, as con- pared with other methods of creating revenue from the farm.

THE CASE OF COLOMBIA

This proposition of paying Colombia twenty-five million dollars, plus al apology, for theft of the Isthmus Of Panama, is not an idle dream but will become a real live issue before the American Congress. Statesmen, as a rule, are inclined to accept the con- plaint of Colombia as genuine, but tde practical ones declare that the seiz- ure was 'fn the interests of humanity. and, therefore, was justified. Llkew,.e, nine Congressmen out of ten will tell you that the Panama Canal would like ly not have been started yet had not the United States followed the course it did.

RAID ON 9TH CAVALRY MACHINE

 One Mexican was, detected making away with a machine gun on his shoulder. He was fired upon by Pri- vate St. Clair and lurched into a wait ing automobile which he had reached. It sped away. The man is believed to have been wounded. Two shots were fired after the machine, without re- suits.
 An immediate inspection was order ed about the camp with the result that four automobiles with their drivers were taken into custody. The machines were standing about the camp, just
