A dog sat out in the midnight chill
and howled at the beaming moon;
his knowledge of music was strictly
nil and his voice was out of tune.
And he howled and howled as the
hours went by while lodging the
bricks we threw, till the moon was
low in the western sky, and his voice
was split in two. And there wasn't
thing at which to howl, over which
a pup should weep, and the course Of
the dog was wrong and foul, for
people were wild to sleep. There are
plenty of men like that blamed fool
hound, who yell when there is moth

So far in the season Judge Wood
son has little better of Judge Graves
in raising young chickens, but the
contest is not finished yet by any
means. Young chickens weighing
between two and three pounds apiece
at this season of the year are not
common, but Judge Woodson has;
nearly one hundred young pullets'
and roosters that have made this:
record. In fact, he has chickens of
all sizes and lots of them, and he
considers that he has only got fair
start for the season. Judge Graves
is coming along close after him. The
latter is not saying much, but he is
saving wood. Moreover, he has
reputation to sustain, being the head
of the Cole County Poultry Associa-
ton and the owner of many prize
chickens. jefferson City Democrat

that have been indirectly accused of
having favored the late Single Tax
propaganda, which met with SO in
glorious a defeat at the last general

Single Tax proposition, and and my

any other section of the state
