BARBS

ELATTENED out, they wouldn't
L measure much over an inch in
length. They look unimportant and
harmless enough, these little pieces Of
wire, sharpened at each end. But, take
enough of them, bend them in loops
and place them at regular intervals
along two strands of wire woven to-
gether. Then we'll, ask some
World war veteran if he ever had to
listen to the agonized cries of wound
ed buddy caught in tangie of barbed
wire!
Who invented barbed wire? Many
are the candidates for that honor.
But whoever it was, he could not
have foreseen how those little prongs
would change the course of history on
the Great Plains of the West. Time
was when thousands and thousands Of
longhorn cattle ranged over hundreds
of square miles Of land and were
trailed to roaring "c0w towns by reck-
less crews of daring horsemen. That
was in the day of the "oper range"
Then barbed wire crossed the Mis-
sissippi. The cattle trails were closed
by mile after mile of wire-two strands
nailed to posts. Next came the mes
ter" to pillow under the buffalo grass
on which the fonghorns had fed.
The barbs on the wire were the ire
mendous tribes which ended the cattle
era of the old West and sent one of
the most picturesque figures in Ameri-
can history, the cowboy, galloping
down the trail to oblivion.

BOOMERANG

IN 1S4e President Martin Van Buren,
was the Democratic candidate for
reelection. The wings, passing by the
great Henry Clay, nominated Gen.
William Henry Harrison, whose prin-
cipal claim to distinction was his ca
reer as a successful Indian fighter.
One of Clay's friends, hearing Of
"Old Tippecanoe's" nomination grump-
lily declared, "Give him a barrel Of
hard cider, settle pension of $1,000 a
year on him and, my word for it, he
will sit for the remainder of his days
In his log cabin by the side of sea-
coal fire, studying moral philosophy"
The editor of a Democratic paper IN
Baltimore thought it would be good
joke on the Wings to publish that
statement. But it turned out to be
fine joke on the Democrats!
Other Democratic papers reprinted
1t. Immediately the Wings got busy.
So General Harrison wasn't fit to be
President because he was a poor man
and plain man, Ell? Well, he was
just as good man as Martin Van
Buren,, living in luxury in the White
House and spending the taxpayers
money foolishly, etc, etc.
In vain the Democrats tried to undo
the mischief by protesting that they
hadn't started this talk. A Wing. ore
of Mr.. Clay's good friends, had done It.
But It was no use. The Log Cabin
Hard Cider" campaign of the singing
Wings" was sweeping the country.
They were singing the praises of "Tip-
pecanoe and Tyler, Too" and they
were shouting ivan, Van Is a Used-Up
Man."
So Harrison went to the White
House, sent there by a small item
printed in Democratic newspaper. 1t
was a sneering item that turned out to
be a boomerang against those who
used it.
