A dog sat out in the midnight chill and howled at the beaming moon; his knowledge of music was strictly nil and his voice was out of tune. And he howled and howled as the hours went by while dodging the bricks we threw, till the moon was low in the western sky, and his voice was split in two. And there wasn’t a thing at which to howl, over which a pup should weep, and the course of the dog was wrong and foul, for people were wild to sleep. There are plenty of men like that blamed fool hound, who yell when there is noth- ing wrong, disturbing the country with senseless sound—the pessimist’s doleful song.—-Ex. So far in the season Judge Wood- son has alittle better of Judge Graves in raising young chickens, but the contest is not finished yet by any means.

In fact, he has chickens of all sizes and lots of them, and he considers that he has only got a fair start for the season. Judge Graves is coming along close after him.

Moreover, he has a reputation to sustain, being the head of the Cole County Poultry Associa- tion and the owner of many prize chickens.—Jefferson City Democrat- Tribune. Hon.

Mr. Baldwin said: ‘‘I leat that I have been indirectly accused o having favored the late Single Tax propaganda, which met with so in- glorious a defeat at the last generaF election, and I want to say that this: is untrue. I never did favor the Single Tax proposition, and I and my friends cast our vote against it, in fact, my immediate neighborhood voted more strongly against the meas- ure in proportion to population than. any other section of the state.”” Aad His AND PHOTO SUPPLIES A Full Line Come in and See Them
