Year: 1874

has allowed the green eyed devil Of jeal-
ousy to cultivate and control what little
mental faculty she once possessed, to
the extent Of producing utter imbecil-
ity.


It is true We referred to the Union as
played out "organ" after the State
Grange had unanimously uegatived a
resolution seeking to make her the ''or-
gan " OF that Grange for another year.
The Grange had tried her for one year.
and-well, they didn't want any more
of that kind of organ. But the old
lady was not going to allow the Grange
to get rid Of her by unanimous vote
not she. They couldn't fool her in
that way-.not by night cap full, they
couldn't if she knew herself: So she
went home, suppressed the resolution,
and insisted that she was still the ' Or
gan" of the State Grange, notwith-
standing the unanimous vote to the con-
trary.


Not knowing the pitiable mental and
moral condition Of the old lady at that
time. and being indignant at what
seemed to be wilful, brazen falsehood,
we did then refer to her as having
lost every regard for truth, decency
and honesty"


In speaking Of this matter in her
last issue she says that The GRANGE
ADVANCE:


Continued this villitying until some
Of our friends could stand it no longer,
and preferred charges against it before
Worthy Master Parsons. This seemed
to quiet it, and since then it has been a
/ we'll behaved sheet.


Now, old Mrs. Grundy knows very
we'll that this is false. No, we take
that back, for it would be very haz-
ardous assertion to say that she hnows
anything at all. And besides that, it
may be that the minded, jealous
souled old lady got somebody to trump
up sope charges against US and sent
them to the Worthy Master. OF course
they were too flimsy for him to take any
notice Of and so the Master probably
committed them to his cook stove, if
there were any. At least we have
heard nothing of these charges before.
To be candid, we have no doubt they
exist only in the old lady's disordered
imagination.


The poor old creature makes des-
perate attempt to console herself with the
fact that the outside Of The GRANGE
ADVANCE is published at St. Paul,
where it purports to be published, and
she claims that therefore it has "patent
outsides," and judges that the edito-
rials are from the St. Paul end Of the
concern" Of course every word of
them are written at Red Wing, but We
trust she won't believe it, because it
seemed to give her some comfort to
think they were not.


But the old lady says we have always
been trying to hang on to Donnellys tail.
She is evidently resting under the i'm
preston that Mr.. Donnelly is no further
removed from the Orang Outang by de-
scent than she is herself, and that there
fore he has tail. Besides, she has been
so in the habit Of hanging on to Bull
Kings tails, that she has no idea but
that everyone has somebody's tail to hang
on to, and somebody's COW to suck.
| Crush you out! Why, bless your old
soul We haven't the remotest idea of do
ing such thing and never had. Crush
you! We would as soon think of vast
ing our time crushing last years fly on
the window pane.


There now, having given you this as
surance, hadn't you better put on your
night-cap, take about three cups Of strong
catnip tea, good large dose of soothing
syrup, put your feet to soak about thirty
minutes and then go to bed? And when
