HOW Mr.. FOX WAS FOUND GUILTY

HOW Mr.. FOX WAS FOUND GUILTY
Mr. Bear had missed his meat ana
pies and cakes and many good things
he had in his closet, so one night ne
thought he would watch and see who
was stealing his food.
He had just cooked nice fat pig
and piece of roast beef and put them
on a shelf in his pantry, and he did
not intend anyone should get them
if watching could prevent them from
being stolen.
So Mr., Bear sat down with his gun
by the window to watch, but MIR. Bear
blinked and blinked, and after while
he fell asleep and snored so loudly
that he did not hear or see the thief.
When morning came he jumped up
and looked in the pantry, and sure
enough the food was gone and his
basket as we'll.
So off trotted Mr.. Bear to Judge
Dog. who lived over the hill, and CON-
planned of Mr. Fox.

feel sure you will defend me from this
base fellow who is trying 10 take
away my good name" And Mr.. Fox
fell TO groaning again
Il do. indeed. feel sorry for you,
Mr.. Fox, and as you say there IS no
evidence against you: besides that,
your shoulder being so lame you
could not have possibly carried that
heavy basket. Now, to show am
kindly disposed toward you and am
sorry for getting you out OF bed when
you are so sick, | am going to give
you bag of things to take home, and
you will find two fat ducks besides
lother things.
"The court will now adjourn while
i get the bag for Mr. Fox.
Mr.. Fox smiled broad smile at Mr.
Bear who looked crestfallen and
started off thinking he had been treat
ed very badly by Judge Dog.
But Judge Dog coming in just then
with the bag told him to wait min
ute.
Here you are, Mr. Fox, said the
Judge Il hope you will forgive me
for all the trouble ! have made you;
you will find those ducks very tender,

/ know"
Now, Mr.. Fox had not had his break
fast, and he was hungry, and forget
ting all about the lame shoulder he
had complained of he picked up the
bag and swung it over his shoulder
and started off.
He had reached the door or tne
court room and was just stepping ont
when Judge Dog sent Policemen Doe
and Bear after him. Bring him back,
was all he said
Mr.. Fox looked surprised when he
found himself again prisoner.
MIR. Fox said Judge Dog, If YOU
can carry off that bag OF stones so
easily YOU could have carried off MT
Bears food, and l think you are gull

the Jail for a month to think it over.

So Judge Dog sent Policeman Dog
and Policeman Bear to arrest Mr.. Fox
Mr.. Fox was in bed when they
reached his house and could not come

What Ford Says Re-
8ardinS Campaign

Henry Ford disposes, in two SEN
fences, of the two main arguments
that the republican campaigners are
making against Wilson.
The republicans say that Wilson
has committed his party to the eight
hour day will ruin business. Henry
Ford says that he himself adopted
the eight-hour day years ago and
has found that his business prospers
more largely on an eight-hour day
basis than on the basis Of a longer
day.
The republicans say that the
prosperity Of the country is not due
to Wilson's policies but to war or
ders., Henry Ford says that his
concern has not taken a single dol
lars worth Of war orders, but that
the business has grown constantly
and the factory is now 100000 cars
behind orders
Those are not arguments or ,theo-
ries. They are facts. There is no
going behind them -Tennessean
and American.

w. J. Bryan to Spend
One Day in Tennessee

Chairman L. D. Hill Of the state
democratic committee has compile
ted arrangements for the coming Of
William Jennings Bryan to Tonnes
see. Mr.. Bryan will only be able to
spend one day in Tennessee, and
Chmn. Hill was determined that as
many as possible should hear him.
He will arrive in Memphis Tuesday
night October II, and on Wednes-
day morning, October IS, will leave
the Bluff city on special train for
Nashville, where he arrives late in
the afternoon. This special will
make stops at many Of the towns
and cities on the railroad in West
end Middle Tennessee. Mr.. Bryan
will make short talks at a number
Of stops and when ne reaches Jack
son will spend an dour in the county
seat of Madison county. From
there he will come to Nashville, ar
irving about $50 or 7 o'clock. In
the evening at s o'clock he will
speak in Ryman auditorium. After
his speech in Nashville he will 60 to
Kentucky to continue bis campaign
for the national ticket and all other
democratic nominees. The national
committee could only allow Col.
Bryan one day in this state, and
Chrmn. Hill had to make the most
Of the limited time at his disposal.
Demands for Col. Bryan in other
states prevented more speeches in
the state. Details for the tour Of the
commoner will be worked out and

freight embargo to begin on the
same day as the strike. No one
dared to predict when the strike
would end but the belief was gene
raj that it would continue at least
until the first Of December. A freight
blockade Of such duration at this
time of the year would have result
ed in losses to the farmers alone,
running into hundreds of millions of
dollars. While the farmers would
have been compelled to accept panic
prices for all their products, the
people Of the cities would have been
compelled to pay famine prices.
Besides these enormous losses to the
farmers, the manufacturers would
have sustained hundreds Of millions
Of dollars in losses on account Of the
lack of transportation for both their
raw materials and manufactured
products.
Ifit was right to pass the eight
hour law. it was proper to do it
speedily and the quicker done the
better. If the law is wrong in prin-
ciple it ought not to have been pass
at all and the sooner it is repealed
the better. If Mr.. Hughes has the
courage Of his convictions, let him
come out like a man and advocate
the repeal as soon as congress con-
convenes in December. But
all those who believe in The Father
hood OF God and the Brotherhood Of
Man" never expect to vote for its
repeal or for any man who advo-
Gates it.

to thoroughly consider every ques-
ton that can possibly arise, and
then if it should appear that it
should be repealed or modified in
the way Of an amendment, congress
will have plenty Of time in which
to do so.
The emergency Of the action Of

ton, that it will call for an increase
Of freight rates on the part Of Mr..
Hughes. is to convict him Of reach
ing a conclusion before knowing
what the facts will be.
The railroad presidents and man.
ayers needed no Investigation Of
the probable economic effects Of the
proposed eight-hour day. as they
were experts In railroad economics
The Railway Trainmen needed no
time for any additional study as to
the probable effect Of the eieht-hour
day upon their wages and hours Of
service, as they had already made
up their minds that an eieht-hour
basic day in rsilway train service
was, to them, On irreducable minu-
mum Of demand and, therefore, they
could not and would not submit
that question to arbitration,
as no other body of men could know
better than themselves just what
the eignt-hour day meant to them,
This demand was not conditional
one and made to depend upon the
contingency Of its not adding to the
operating costs Of the railroads.
The Brotherhoods had decided by
an almost unanimous vote Of their
individual members that if this de-
mand was not granted, they would
strike and never return to service
unless this demand was granted.
On the other hand. the railroads,
through their managers. decided that
under no circumstances would they
yield to this demand and they had
no doubt that the strike would fol-
low their refusal with all its horrors.
SORROWS, sufferings and losses to the
general public. All hope Of accom-
mediation had passed and the spectre
Of this awful calamity starred con-
eress in the face, with only two legis-
lative days left in which to do any
thing by which it might be averted.
Action was imperative and had
to be immediate if any good was to
come by it and under these circum-
stances nothing more or nothing less
couldSbe done than was done.
Ample transportation facilities by

C.P. MCDARMENT
is BOUND over
Former Durant hoy is Held for MUIR
der ot Preliminary Hearing at
Wagoner--Janitor of the School
is Stra Witness.

The examining trial Of Corley p
! McDarment, a former Durant young
man, who while teacher in the pub
! lie schools at Wagner is supposed
to have killed one Of his pupils and
wounded another. was held at Wag-
oner Tuesday, and after a lengthy
trial in which several witnesses we're
examined the defendant was bound
over to await trial in the district
court. McDarment did not take the
stand in his own behalf.
The star witness at the hearing
was the ianitor of the school, who
was the first person on the scene of
the tragedy. He testified that Nc
Darment's first words were: "Uncle
Billy. they tried to kill me in there
The Moss boy. his head swathed in
bandages, testified against ihs for
mer teacher and clung to his story
that McDarment was the aggressoT.
He admitted that himself, the dead
boy. and another boy, had deviled the
teacher and that they had made life
almost unbearable for other teach
\ erS before McDarment.
The testimony of the janitor seem
ed to favor McDarment, and then
again to favor the prosecution. He
testified that he had to force the
door into the room where the shoot
ing was taking place, and that when
he got inside he saw the two boys
lying on the floor, the pistol beside
the wounded lad, and that McDar.
ment stood in the center of the room
as in a dream.
The chief defense that McDar.
ments attorneys will make, it is
said, will be the exhibition of a shirt
with a bullet hole in the cuff and
powder burns on the sleeve, which
they will use as p~oof that McDar-
ment did not hold the gun during
the struggle.
