A New Poet

we doubt Ii any publication IS
as much maligned as the Con-
gressional Record. 1t is generally
regarded as being the last word
in dull and undressing reading
matter. Yet one who reads it
carefully can find much light,
humorous, fippancy in it's col.
.umns at times.
Forinstance. John Sharp Will
Hams recently burst forth in
poetry. Boies Penrose persist
emily tried to interrupt him. but
the gentleman from Mississippi
continued to provoke the muse.
The name of his poem. Senator
Williams said, was Hughes at
the Crossroads. and recited as
follows:
"Old Minister'S is a-speaking
in the wild and sunny west, and
we all were sort of wishing that
he'd try to do his best; so we
hitched up the old buggy and we
went to hear him talk, for the
crossroads whar he's stopping
takes a long and weary walk.
Nov ma has joined the suf-
fragists and had to have her
rights, and said she'd let me go
along to take in all the sights; so
| bad to hear the whole darned
thing of RedfieId and Of Jones,
till the box that | was sitting on
was rubbing on my bones.
That old civil service business
that Penrose loves so we'll doesn't
rise to much Importance when
the world is smelling hell; and
what are all the Joneses and the
Redfelds and Durant, unless a
fellows trying to- and finds out
that he can't?"
At this point Penrose said:
Mr.. President, do | understand
that the senator from Mississippi
is the author of this poem?"
Alas, no." said Senator Will
liams. Il have no poetic genius.
but | cannot yield to the senator
again right now-n(t right in the
middle of a piece of poetry.
Why. it would be unheard off,"
Then the senator finished his
poem as follows:
When he settled down to
women's votes, ma jabbed me in
the side, and she jabbed a little
harder when he made.i it nation
wide. But | saw the frown g.
coming when he mentioned Mex
leo, and soon she made the mas
ter's sign that meant that we
must go.
I'VE have a bunch of boys
just like other boys, you see, but
ma once got religion and she
prays for them and me, and she
wouldn't give the runnings from
our Andy's last stonebruise for
all the Mexicans ever seen by
Justice Hughes.
But old Whiskers keeps a.
talkin'-not as we'll as Nh. Bryan,
but you've simply got to hand it
to a fellow who's a tryin'. If
his throat and lungs will stand it
and they'll let him go about. he
may find a living issue, if you
don't watch out"
Jawn Shawp sized up the pub
lie view of the Mexican issue
very well. Chattanooga News.

Carl Flynn

& H @s
The death angel entered the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Flynn
and took their little son, Carl.
The death came as a shock to his
many relatives and friends. He
was taken suddenly i'll Wednes-
day morning at 9 o'clock and he
passed away Thursday morning
at 5 o'clock. The doctors did all
in their power to save the child,
but it was all useless.
He was laid to rest in Chapel
cemetery, where many beautiful
flowers were laid upon his grave.
The entire community extend
their sympathy to the bereaved
parents and relatives.
So weep no more sad ones, for
the Great Father has only taken
our darling boy to that beautiful
haven of rest. One more little
star peeps out to beckon loved
ones to come on.

Men Face Loss of Positions.

Wis., nSin militiainen in Texas who
have been drawing their salaries from
patriotic employers al horne SOW are
being confronted by the proposition OF
either going back to Till their positions
or losing them. At the time of the
general call on the militia many large
corporations volunteered TO pay the
salaries of their employees who en-
listed or who were already members
Of the guard, to their families.
Now believing that there is no need
for the militia on the border. these
employers are notifying their-men that
they cannot continue to pay their sal
aries or hold open their jobs any
longer.
Thousands of business concerns are
writing General Funston every day re-
questng that their employees. loaned
to the government for an emergency,
be sent home Immediately. Knowing
of General Funston's recent statement
recommending the withdrawal of
troops from Mexico. these employers
point out that the crisis between the
two countries has completely passed.
II is admitted In military circles
that If the militiamen are kept on the
border much longer nearly half of the
men will be eligible for release under
the dependent clause. General Fun
ston receives scores of letters every
mail from suffering wives, mothers and
children praying for the release of
gunrdSmen upon whom they are de
nending for sunnOrt.
