ANOTHER MEAN MAN.
“The meanest man in Missou- j
ri” Sava the Joplin Herald "re* i

sides in Carthage. The other day j
he put a large egg in the nest of j
an ambitious old hen, and found j
that eggs that she afterward laid ;
were increased in size. He put!
a goose egg in the nest and the i
aforesaid hen laid one just as I
i
large. He was so well pleased {
with the scheme that he put a j
football in the nest and waited {
2 esults. When he went next
time to search for eggs lie found
one as big as the football, but no
hen in sight. Seeing the egg, he
saw engraved on it, in neat
chirography, the words: ‘I’m
no-ostrich, but I have done
my best.’ Later he found the
hen inside the egg.”
“it isn’t the thing
YOU DO DEAR.”
It isn't the thing that you do, dear.
It’s the tiling you leave undone,
That gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent, dear.
Are your haunting ghosts to-night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way,
The bit of heart some counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone.
That you had no time nor thought for,
Witlxtroubles enough of your own,
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which all we mortals find—
They come in night and silence.
Each chill, reproachful wraith,
When hope is faint and flagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear.
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion.
That tarries until too late;
And it s not the thing you do, dear,
It s the thing you leave undone
That gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting of the sun.—Ex.
WHY CANDIDATES
SHOULD ANNOUNCE.
The man who seeks office,
from that of constable to con
gressman, and will not make
reasonable announcement to the
public of his desire, need not ex
pect the jieople to be in sympa
thy with his niggardly ways, for
the world likes a liberal, gener
ous man, and despises the nar
row mercenary devil who wants
something for nothing. After
nomination of a ticket to be voted !
for in the general election, the lo
cal press takes up the cause of
c-ach one and battles bravely for
his success, sometimes in close •
contest and asks no renumeration
for this toil of months. This is
the strong reason why the pub
lisher should be sustained and
favored at the beginning, and how
the candidate before the prima
ries can obtain his own contest to
ignore the newspaper for a few
paltry dollars, is a question that
has never been answered by one
who has achieved success in a po
litical race.—-Little Rock Adver
tiser.

Now don’t be deceived and be
led to think that this was writ
ten out of a sense of jocularity
but study it well and see if you
have not “felt” that it is in many
ways true at any rate we do
know that the more money and
whiskey a man can control the
less is he called upon to suffer
the penalty of his crimes.
Now in the same spirit of a
mixture of truth and fiction let
us continue our investigation.
We will take for instance the
matter of taxation. The asses
sor calls us up to be taxed and
when our names are placed upon
the account of our taxable prop
erty it is supposed to be sworn
to and my opinion is that very
few poor men give in less than
they own as generally they own

nothing and I shall ever consider
it a disgrace and a contemptible
disgrace to tax the poor men

pulates them to suit themselves
and if the rich man grunts at
their findings they are ready to
rectify anything, but if the poor
man complains because of unfair
taxation he has a poor way to
help himself and the only way
for him to get out of it is to pay
it and thank his good luck that
found him so easy a way. If he
should prove that he has been
forced to pay too much, what
good does it do him as he is
never paid back the amount of
the extortion, if he undertakes
to have it rectified, it is with
such heavy burdens that he can
not reach it and he must retire
from the contest with the loss of
the litter that he had and the
toils of exorbitant taxation have
so completely encompassed him j
that the only way for him ever to !
break loose from them.'
He is to sacrifice all of bis home
comforts, scatter his family,
break loose from all the ties
he loves and become a common
tramp upon the face of the land
for which his fathers died that he
might be free from the distinc
tive taxation imposed by England.
So let us shout “the land of
the free and the home of the
brave” because it requires a
brave man to face the tremen
dous waves of extortionate tax
ation that is ever growing higher
and ever higher before him.
Now, it requires no proof to
demonstrate the fact that the
rich man is easily becoming rich
er every day without a corres
ponding prosperity of the labor
ing or farming classes. The
horrors of poverty have been
closing down upon the poor man
tighter and tighter for several
years and in spite of the fact
that fools have bragged of the
prosperity of the country when
cotton brought 8 to 9 cents there
has been nothing but loss in it.
Don’t you remember that but
four or five years ago govern
ment experts figured it out that
.10 cents was the least price that
cotton could be made to yield a
profit to the producer. Certain
ly men could live at a less figure
if they would raise the most of
their grub in a garden or truck
patch or eat the rhiuds and
crusts and crumbs that fell from
the rich man’s table but that
part of it would not be raising
cotton. Now I dont say that the
farming community has become
beggars at the door of the sick
man.
Now, just look the matter
square in the face and see if yon
know of a farmer who pays all of
his attention to farming without
any side issues such as cattle,
horses, stores or something of
the kind that is making enough
to pay his taxes and have 10 per
cent on the money invested and
if so, let us hear from that man
and let him say if it is not get
ting harder and harder every

Then let us all rise up in the
spirit of liberty that used to be
ours and say if our officers have,
in the face of our increasing
hard times, shown any inclina
tion to share our hardships with
us.
On the contrary, we must each
and every one admit that from
the marshes and swamps of
Woodruff county to the farthest
extent of the state of Arkaneas;
in rain or in sunshine; by night
or by day; in winter or summer;
when prosperty smiles uponusor
when the cry for bread floats
upon the breeze, the grunt of the
office holder is heard in the midst
of the land. Yea verrily it as
sendeth forever, either sleeping
or waking; either living or die
ing, from his election to his
grave, his voice like unto the
voice of thunder is heard afar off
and the meaning of his grunt is
-More Salary! More Salary!
He seems to have no time for
much of anything else. Now, I
don’t say that our officers mean
to be mean but I mean that it is
very mean of them to treat us so
mean and I know them weli
enough to know after I have ex
pressed myself as I have that if
they ever get their grip on me I
