BY Roswell F. Connor
Gee, 1 want to go a-fishin',
But the "crick's" too muddy now.
l thought I'd go tomorrow,
But it won't clear up, low.
It just keeps on raining, raining,
Will it never, never stop?
But dad is not cOmplainin',
Says it's good for our hay CROP.
Gee, I'd like to go a-fishin'
In that big pOnd-lily hole.
I'd like to geel the tUggin'
OF a pick-erl on my pole,
The buIlfrogs now are croakin'
Down in the pasture lot.
We will get anutheF soakin',
Fer it's muggy an so hot.
And them mourning doves are
crOOnin', ..... ...
In that dear old illUm tree.
They make me kinder lonesome
When they're all gone but Tige an
me.

Proper Way to Walk.
conley's Old Stand
LOUISA, Ky.

In walking. your feet should point
straight ahead and come down hat,
heel first. Writers who advise that
the ball OF the foot should touch the
ground first. In common with the cal
isthenics Instructor at school who like
" as not advises the same thing do
not know anything about the practical
side OF walking The former doubtless
have in mind the ballroom, and the lat
ter the gymnasium On a long walk
you will naturally fall into the proper
way of handling your feet Let your
arms swing naturally also, and for
their benefit carry a stout stick-not a
stout stan. which is too long and awk-
ward. Keep this stick moving, In one
hand or the other. and 1t VIII exercise
your arms better than the mere act. OF
swinging them will. Keep the. Shout
ders down, the chest up and the body
erect The right posture of the body
is as important factor while walking
as 1t is In the schoolroom. "The

THE PROSECUTED ONE

= sponsible editors who have no
regard for sacred duty, and for
two years and three months they
sought to assassinate me. Now
l am ready to meet them, and
they shall not assassinate me-
w. J. Bryan.
The only person who has ever
"assassinated" William J. Bryan
has been William J. Bryan him
self. For over a quarter of a
century he has liked to picture
his political crusades as objects
of persecution that the people
might draw the inference that
he was perpetually a martyr,
sacrificing himself upon the al
tar of some lost but glorious
cause.
Mr.. Bryan has pretended to
believe that opposition to him
and his doctrines has never been
either honest or legitimate. To
differ with him means that one
is directly or indirectly "in the
pay of the predatory interests"
TIC dispute his arguments is
proof positive that man is an
assassin. To question his fit
ness for the post of Secretary
of State, or to call attention to
the fact that he had three oppor-
unities to become President and
vet failed of the peoples conf
dence, spells wickedness and cor
ruption and a prostitution OF
integrity.-Minneapolis Journal.
