EDDYTORIAL

Last week Snide Petersby made
a trip to the County Seat on bust
ness and pleasure, mostly pleas
ure; and while there got holt of a
old copy of city newspaper so
that he could read what was going
on in the outside world as YOU
might say. The next day after
Snide returned home he put on
his specs and set down on his
front piazzer and begin to read
the news.
1t was about $50 a. m. when
Snide bust into the Bugle office
with the paper clencht in his hand
and showed us in black and white
print where Bryan, Roosevelt &
Wilson was all liable to run for
President of the u. S.
This was big news to us, being
as we hadn't heard nothing about
it, and we calkilate it will be sur
prise to those of our subscribers
who haven't already been told
about it by Snide who spread the
news all over Bingville concerning
these nominations.
During the past few days we
have been asked on many occa-
sions who the Bugle would sup
port for President, if either. We
desire to say in reply that we have
not made up OUR mind on that
point and will not do so until we
can confer with campaign COM
nittee of both parties which has
! charge of the distribution of
funds. Who the Bug1e con-
scientiously supports will depend a
good deal upon how much the
campaign managers are willing to
spend for said support For in
stance if the Republican party or
Progressives would offer to pay us
$50 for supporting Roosevelt we
could not conscientiously do so
providing Bryan's managers would
offer us 500 for doing the same
thing.
There was a time in the history
of the Bugle when it was a staunch
republican paper of answering
fidelity to the Republican party,
but by and by we found that I'M
swerving fidelity to the Republi-
can party didn't pay us as well as
answering fidelity to the demo-
cratic party, so the Bugs> there
fore became a staunch democratic
organ to say nothing of being pop
u1istic for one year and digging for
prohibition another. Because of
this changeable policy we have
been accused of being ftel in our
political affiliations, but we desire

Joke on Seth

The boys played joke on Seth Dew
berry, our lion-hearted town constub-
Bile, in Hen Weathersbys store the 9TH
er night.
Seth went to sleep and Ranse Hillyer
quietly unpinned his big tin star, which
is Seths insignia of office, from his
coat, and dropped it into Seth's pocket.
When Seth woke up Hen asked Inn
where his star was and when Seth dis
covered it was gone he swore it had
been took by somebody present and said
if the guilty party didn't step forward
and give it up he would get himself
arrested and punished to the full extent
of the law on the charge of intimidat-
ing an officer.
MAYBE you left it in your pocket"
says Ranse When Seth found the star
in his pocket he looked kind of foolish
and went off home without saying
good night" to anybody.

to say in Our defence, we find it
more profitable to be governed by
the dictates of our pocketbook than
by our conscience.
Until the campaign managers of
the two parties takes this matter
up with us, we shall preserve a
oninous and dignifed silence as to
which candidate we will boost and
which one we will bullyrag. Any
propositions made to us will re-
ceive our earnest attention, and
will be regarded as strictly con-
fidential.
Subscribe for the Bug1e if you
desire to keep posted on what is
going on in the political world.

Personal BreefS

Personal Breefs are very scarce in
our midst this week. Sometimes Per-
sona1 Breefs are plenty and sometimes
they amt.
Bale Hawkins purchased a new razor
at Hen Weathersbys store tother day
and in trying to shave hisself liked to
cut his left ear off. Bale says he wishes
it wasn't so sharp because he consid-
ers it amt safe for a person to shave
theirself with razor that will do that
We hoped to be able to announce in
this issue that we had secured one more
subscriber, but we regret to report to
the contrary. We tried to induce Jim
Peabody from Sorrow Hollow to sub
scribe, and after we thought we almost
had him Jim sed that what was the use
for him to subscribe for the Bugle and
pay good money for it when he could
read Sim Wilkins Bugle, a nabor of
his. This makes us disguised.
Mrs. Abe Skinner endeavored to put
up some peach jelly last week and filled
% glasses with same, only to discover
TO her consternation that the jelly
wouldn't jell She was awful put out
agreeable since that he can't scarcely
live in the same house with her.
Last spring we asked you to take
time by the forelock and pay up your
back Subscriptions to fine Bugle be-
fore summer arrived. No attention was
paid to this, so we now respectfully ask
you to pay up your Subscriptions be-
fore the winter arrives.
Mrs A1mira Hobbs appeared in the
church choir last Sunday evening wear
ing what she called a merry Wilder
Hat" 1t was about four feet acrost

about on her.

Eb passed and the shades Of twilight

Eb passed and the shades Of twilight
begin to deepen, but still the bull moved
around under the tree occasionally
setting UP bellering and paving up the
earth whenever it happened to git a
glimpse of that red shirt up in the tree.
By this time Eb was most starved
and exosted, and when he contemplated
having to remain in the tree all night
the thought almost made him sick to
his stummick. 1t was a awful uncom-
Portable place to stay overnight setting
astraddle of limb and holding on for
dear life. Eb was scairt lest he should
drop off to sleep first and then drop
down off of the tree afterwards and
have the bull gore him to death.
In desperashion he raised UP his voice
in prayer and asked the good Lord to
deliver him from that infewriated red
bull Then after he had prayed awhile
without no results he would cuss and
swear at that bull until fly wouldn't
scarcely light on it. In this way the
night wore on. Along lords daylight
soon as it got light enough for Eb to
see he looked down and seen the bull
laying at the foot of the tree sound
asleep.
Then a brillyunt thought occurred to
Eb, so he pulled hisself further UP into
the tree until he was out of sight of
the critter Bye and bye the bull woked
up and looked up into the tree and
didn't see nothing of Eb and looked all
around and finally walked around and
begin to Craze, thinking perhaps that
Eb had escaped during the night. Eb
he kept qpiet until the bull had wan
dered over behind a hufnmici1 at one
end of the field, then he slid down the
tree very quiet and dropped to the
ground and run like Satan was after
him until he reached his own door
step where Sary was waiting for him
with tears in her eyes wondering what
had became of him. Sary didn't never
go to bed all night. Eb told her to
stop weepin and set him up his dinner,
supper and breakfast all in one meal,
being as he was so near famished that
he could eat a sole leather boot and
enjoy it.
Eb now desires to dispose of his red
bull to any person needing a red bull.
Eb says this bull is sound in wind and
limb and is well bred and amt got only
one fault-he don't like red.

Deacon Butterworth has been losing
several pullets lately. He says they was
took by a fox and furthermore the
Deacon says he knows the foxes name
being as he tracked him home. The
Deacon says there is two kinds of foxes
human foxes and animal foxes.
Abe Wilson of the County Seat was
in Bingville the other day and swept
horses with Mel Hinckley. The horse
Abe got died on the way home the same
day of the trade, whereas the horse Mel
got lived until the next morning.
Neither Abe nor Mel got very much
the best of each other in that dicker.
Some time ago the Widow Skinner
had a portrait made of her husband old
Ben Skinner, who had been dead for 10,
these many years, which she hung in the
parlor and took great comfort in. Last
week while busting off the picture the
nail pulled out and it fell down so that
the back of a chair went right through
old Bens face in the picture. Mrs.
Skinner is turrible put out about this.

Bud Painted the Cat

But Hinkley, who amt quite right
in his head, painted their ole cat Tom
last week Bud used some red paint
he found down in the cellar. This is
the fourth or fifth time But has paint
ed their cat within the last year, and
you would naturally think the cat would
be pretty sick of it by this time, being
as a cat don't need coat of paint
oftener than oncet year.
LATER-Mrs. Hinkley give Bud a
turrible licLin for the above offense and
But promised he would never do so
again.

Dave Threatens to Move

Dave Whittacre, our popular and ac-
comnodating undertaken, says that I'M
less business picks UP in his line he
reckons he will move his family over
to Hardscrabble to go into the under
taking business there, being as that is
. sick1y community and there are more
denises. We regret that business in
Dawes line is so bad, yet at the same
time we are glad that the health of the
community is good. Dave can't expect
our most respected citizens to turn up
their toes just to make business good
for him, and it is ridiculous for him to
even suggest such thing.

While in Hen Weathersbys store
tother evening Mel Samson put his pipe
in his pocket forgetting to knock out

took fire from spontaneous combustion
as you might say. causing Mel consid-

damage to his coat and the obnoxious
odor of burnt cloth which filled the store
and drove everybody outside.

HEARD IN PULLMAN
How Bad Backs Have Been Made
StrOng-kidney Ills Corrected

All over Pullman you hear it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are keeping up
the good work. Pullman people are
telling about it-telling of bad backs
made sound again. You can believe
the testimony of your own towns
people. They tell it for the benefit
OF you who are suffering. If your
back aches, if you feel lame, sore
and miserable, if the kidneys act too
frequently, or passages are painful,
scanty and off color, use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the remedy that has
helped so many of your friends and
neighbors. Follow this Pullman
citizens advice and give Doan's a
chance to do the same for you.
John Cooper ia Main ST., Pull
man, says: Il have given Doan S
Kidney Pills a thorough trial and
have found them to be Just as rep
resented. They gave me quick and
lasting benefit from kidney weak
ness. l am willing that my name be
used in recommending Doan's Kid
ney Pills, as they are certainly a
remedy of merit"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Cooper had. Foster-Mi
