STUNG N A NEW PLACE


A man and a woman dropped i'm
20 small town and put up at the
D-st hotel. Tine next morning they
secured a rig each, and started o.
Yer the country asking the farmer
olks for chicken for an orphan'a
nome in ST. Louis. After two days
y gging they sold the chickens to a
local produce man for $50 and left
Gown. Their loot included several
!, slh donations.
A variation of the scheme is
Tor a man, wearing some sort of
badge, to call on the tanners un-
d + the name of the Department of
Health and demand to see his
,oultry. After examin alton he con-
-enns twenty or thirty hens and
us the farmer they will have to
be killed because they are diseas-
ed. Hs very kindly offers to take
che chickens and do the killing
himself, If the farmer consents, the
man takes the chickens ITO the near
est commission merchant and sells
them. The scheme is being worked
all over the country. If man or
woman calls on you with demand
that looks suspicious, call up your
local authorities and ask by what
right they are asking to inspect
your stock or poultry. When you
ct the answer, turn them over to
the police.

SHAME, Mr.. BRYAN

David S. Rose, mayor of Milwau-
kee for five terms and once one
of William Bryan's most ardent add
mirers and followers, im a recent
speech in Chicago assaulted Bryan
as traitor and hypocrite. The
destructive ambition Of Napoleon
was emily a soothing zephyr as "a
gainst a tornado when compared
with the insane desire for power
that makes itself manifest in Bry-
ans every act he said. "Old
friends who stood at the battle from
in all his campaigns he has dis
carded, principles he has thrown to
the wind and. with ingratitude and
treachery he has awarded the pres
sident for the exalted appointment
given him" Rose also paid his re-
spects to BILLY" Sunday, charact-
terizing the evangelist as 1.-THE mon-
strosity that fattens like maggots
in the ulcers of society, capitalizing
ignorance and superstitions and
growing rich from blasphemy.'

BOOST A LITTLE BIT


Anyone almost can be knocker;
It's easier to tear down than tx
build,
So why not try your best to be a
booster?
With pess:mists the worlds already
filled.
You can't expect that things will
always suit you:
In melancholy judgm ent then you
sit?
No. Better far to help along a little
Better far to boost a little bit.
1t never pays to join the anvil
chorus,
Or spread unkind reports about
your town;
Many there are to hamper and re-
tard it,
Who do their level best to run it
down.
What if it has it's little failings?
1t has it's good points, also-hasn' I
it?
So why not to the wheel adjust
your shoulder;
Why not get out and boost a lit
tie bit?
h u
"A chu'lsh dog may bay the moon
in anguish;
The frog must croak, for nature
willed it so,
The mules We're placed ON earth
to do the kicking
Gas any good zoology will show
The good Lord has provided for the
knocking,
So if wider groove you long to fiji
Adopt this as motto: "Be Boos
err
And them get out and boost lit
tie bit.

Embellishments
GET RID OF HUM0RS
AND AVOID DISEASE

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the
whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions. They affect
all the organs and functions, MEM
branes and tissues, and are directly
responsible for the readiness with
which some people contract disease.
For forty years Hood s Sarsaparilla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and out
ward effects. 1t is distinguished Tor
its thoroughness in purifying the
blood, which it enriches and invigor-
ates. No other medicine acts like 1t,
for no other medicine is like it
