Second Sergeant Sam.
The editor of the column has Just
In wntod and obtained a patent foru
luetic gun, which is a gusher and
spouts both rhymes and blank verse
from the same chamber, as will be
seen by the following trained on our
Second Sergeant Sam:
It was In South Carolina's clime
He first saw the light,
Where the palmetto and the pine
Ever meet ami greet the sight.
Where the little and the big Pedee,
The Sntee, Yemassee, Oconee,
The Salkehatchle and the Suwauee
Flow gently In their murmuring to
the sea.
A farmer's boy, minding gaps,
He grew into his nlneteens,
Not dreaming of horrid haps,
Such as war and canteens
Of marching and fighting,
Of starving, and biting
Hard tack, and blighting
His young life and slighting.
With Kersaw's gallant men
In Virginia, marched and fought,
Up and down the valley then
At Spotsylvania sought
The bubble reputation
At the cannon's reverberation
Against the whole Yankee nation
And the rest of all creation.
When this cruel war was over
He saw a field afar.
All lit up with clover
'Twos our state, the Lone Star.
He rigged a prairie schooner
And came t us a shhiht.
"They call me colonel but I'm not,
Second Sergeant Sam is my lot
Let it never be forgot,
Second sergeant was my lot,
Second Sergeant Sam I am no mat
ter what."

Notice to Our Patrons.
Owing to press of other business
Mr. Morgan retires from the manage
ment of the Stayer and I assume full
charge. No one is responsible for
anything that may appear in its col
umns but myself, Mr. Morgan has
no connection whatever with it. I
will make all contracts and pay all
debts. Respectfully soliciting a con
tinuance of the public patronage I am
Yours Very Truly,
Mrs. K. W.Morgan.
After the first of February
the Stayer will no longer be
sent free to any one. We have,
for, months, sent out hundreds
of copies each week to non-sub-scribeifor
the benefit of our
advertisers; but as is usual at
this seison, merchants cut their
advertising down as low as pos
sible, some omitting it entirely;
but the paper's expense goes on
just the same and we cannot af
ford the extra cost that more
liberal patronage enabled us to
stand before. We have made
the Stayer a household word in
all the country tributary to
Canyon City, and hope that
many of those to whom it has
so long been a weekly visitor
will see fit to subscribe as we
will make a low rate to readers
out of the county. Remember
no one out of Randall county
now owes us a cent for the pa
per but if you desire it continu
ed we will expect you to so no
tify us and then you will be ex
pected to pay for it. You can
tell your postmaster whether
you want it or not aDd either
pay him or send 75 cents direct
to us or let us know that you
will pay when you can. Should
we see fit to resume the free list
we will make it known.
Truly this year the lord has tem
pered the wind to the shorn lamb,
for never was a winter mllderor bet
ter adapted to the poor old "dogy
sister" who Instead of turning up her
toes to the pale, cold stars, as she
infght have been expected to do,
waxeth fat In this land of plenty.

When your boy gets a licking at
school don't get your back up and
raise Cain about it, but do your
christian duty by giving him one
yourself. Have him to understund
that he will have no protection for
his bad conduct, and it will make a
little man out of him and you and
his teacher will be proud of him some
day. The Jails and penitentiaries
are full of men whose parents kicked
whenever they received punishment
at school. Never let your boy real
ize that you sympathize with hlin at
school but the moment be finds he
has protection at home for his devil
try, then he Is almost sure to pro
voke his teacher aud make trouble.

Maud Muller.
Maud Muller on a summer duyV ' , .
Rode with a team that run away.';
But Maud, a simple rural miss,
Was used to doing such as this.
The Judge rode gaily on, the while
In his brand newnutomobeelor bile.
But with a Jerk he came to a stop,
When Mnud ran lu to him kerflop.'
The accident scared him half to death
And he cussed a little under his
breath.
"What the deuce do you mean,"
asked he, j
"By running your wagon Into me?"
To quiet him Maud did all she could.
But the auto was smashed Into
kindling wood.
The Judge walked slowly back to
town
His visage rent by many a frown.
Next day In a dusty court of law,
He sued for damages Maudle's pa.
Moreover, he got a Judgment which,
Broke the old man up, ns he .wasn't
rich.
And that Is the truth as revealed to
day. Why Maud was engaged In raking
hay.

R. H. Tucker, claim agent, of the
Fort Worth and Denver City Rail
road company returned from a trip
hp the rond yesterday and while at
Wichita Falls met several federal of
ficials of Oklahoma,'wlth whom he
conversed regarding conditions in
the country recently opened up In
the Comanche- and Kiowa reserva
tion. ; Mr. Tucker learned that there was
much excitement Just across the Red
river line, which constitutes the fed
eral quarantine, over the capture and
detention of thousands of cattle be
longing to Texas Panhaudle ranch
men, which were either driven into
that section of .Oklahoma to graze or
else strayed across the quarantine
line.
Mr. Tucker said there were some
thing like 12,000 head of cattle now
being held by the government offi
cials at the mouth of Pease river,
and the numler was being aug
mented dally. .
The owner of these' cattle can re
deem them by settling the penalty
assessed against them, which Is said
to be considerable.
Under Sheriff John Rhodes, Deputy
Sheriffs Bamhill and A. 6. Goff, be
sides a squad of cowboys, are In
charge of the renegade cattle, and it
keeps them all busy to prevent the
stock from straying off Into the the
Interior of Oklahoma.
The government officials la charge
of the cattle receive f 4 per day for
their services, In udditlon to nil nec
essary expenses, which in connection
with salaries of cowboys, pile up the
expenses against the owner of these
cattle.
Recently sixty-five head of cattle
belonging to Dan Waggoner of Wise
county found their way across the
government quarantine line, and it
took 165.00 to clear them up and
get them back on Texas soli. Fort

yet he found a buyer hereat3.40. Our
buyers will pay something for every
thing that can squeal and wear

stuff that averages over 200 pounds

A Deathbed Recognition.
."Uncle Jimmie" was a man
wbo bad a reputation for "tight
ness" in business affairs, which
clung to him the entire eighty
odd years of his existence. .
, When hewas 'stricken with
what proved -to be his last ill
ness a . neighbpr came1 to see
him who had heard he was near
unto death. '
. The family were gathered
about the'room in various stages
of grief be had not been an
overly kind husband and fath
erand the sick man lay oh bis
bed with closed eyes and labor
ed breathing.
"See if he knows you" said
the wife tearfully to the neigh
bor, who tiptoed to the side of
the bed and leaned over the oc
cupant. "Uncle Jimmie, do you know
me?" asked the neighbor gent
ly. -
A deep silence hung over the
room. Finally "Uncle Jimmie"
slowly opened his eyes and fix
ed them intently on the ques
tioner. "Know you?" he echoed feeb
ly, "I reckon I do! Where's
that gallon of vinegar you owe
me?"
The neighbor had to acknowl
edge the recognition was com

The strapping form of Bud
Pipkin loomed in our doorway
Tuesday morning. Bud came in
to talk with us about the clip
ping from the Champion regard
ing stock and feed conditions in
Hale county. Bud was hot.
He says he never saw the Cham
pion's correspondent that he
knows of and never went any
where and spread such a report
about his county. "Hale coun
ty is all right," says Bud, "and
the grass and crops and cattle
are doing splendid, aud I don't
want any more bald faced lies
accredited to me."
The Press is glad1 Bud came
in for this completely corrobor
ates our statements. We do not
know what ''Read" was referred
to in the article, but we feel
sure the correspondent was mis
taken about him also. He
might have said that a few far
mers, who were in a narrow dry
streak, were short of feed, but
be certainly would not report
that Hale county was in bad
condition, when it is in the very
best circumstances.
