A Fable in Rhyme.
Jim Scroggins never thought nor read;
But when the party boasea led;
And whooped it upl>oth day and night,
For tariff tax with all hie might.
•On high protection he went daft,
And helped the trusts to hold their
graft.
And Just because they jollied him,
They got their cant hook* Into Jim.
They robbed him on his flour and meat
And other things he hail to eat;
They robbed him on his clothes and
shoes;
Yes, on his purse they put the screws.
But still Jim Hcroggin* would not see
The trusts controlled the g. o. p.,
And still remained an easy mark
For every corporation shark.
“I’ve got enough to eat and wear,*’
Said Jim, and so he didn’t care,
But helped the trusts perfect their
cinch,
Until at lust he felt their pinch.
’Then Jim discovered with dismay
die couldn’t live upon his pay,
But ev’ry montii he’d surely And
!Him*elf a little more behind.
'Iwiu then he said: “It seems to me
I’m short on this prosperity.”
Hut when he sought a better wage
His trust employer* whooped with rage.
Jim got it-please observe the fact
Just where the chicken got the ax;
And Jim now loudly doth bewail
The hot air in his dinner pail.
MobaL: -The stomach, let it be said,
is not to think with. Try your head.
— I’lacervllle Democrat.
But few of the average run of people
are aware of the great difference in the
wage scale of this country and that of
the old world. Taking 1902 as an ex
ample, the average wage* paid were:
> Ureat Britain, 11.4.1 per day; France,
: $1.84; United States, $J..'iO, anti other
• countries in proportion to England
.and France With thin difference, ami
an abundance of work and money, it
tIn not to lie wondered at that immi
grant* are swarming in from ail over
tW world.
If the post office department is loose
in its method* the wMiuer reforms are
instituted the better. Never mind
poliliifi the common |ieople don’t
care a rap alioiit that.
Young Plants
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
ami seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
.others strong.
And that t the way with
•children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same Irome,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
‘.mall and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
• a*y way out of the diflii ulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
• 4 fo« si, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
st length.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Si ott'* Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
THE FIRST RESERVOIR.
Work to be Begun at Lake Tahoe
This Season.
The first great irrigation system to
be constructed by the government
under the law recently passed by Con
gress, which provides that all money
collected from the sale of public lands
be used for the building of irrigation
reservoirs and canals, will be con
structed in Nevada.
Lake Tahoe will be dammed at the
point where it empties into the Truc
kee river and make a great reservoir.
The dam will be more than twenty
fret high and the level of the lake will
be raised fully ten feet. The estimated
area of this body of water is more than
300 square miles and it is believed that
by the construction of the dam and
the raising of the lake level ten feet, a
sufficient amount of water can be
stored to irrigate a vast area of now
worthless desert land.
The proposed system will consist of
about 250 miles of canals and another
large dam at a point on the Truckee
river about twenty-five miles from its
source. There will be three main ca
nals to be known as the Truckee-Car
sou canal, the Lovelock canal and the
Pyramid lake canal. The first and last
of these will bo about twenty-five
miles in length and the other about
fifty miles long.
It is estimated that at least 125,000
acres of land will be reclaimed.
The work will cost in the neighbor
hood of |1,500,000. At what date the
actual work will be commenced has
not yet been decided, but it is expected
that It will tie doing this season.
C. T. Prace of the United States geo
logical aurvey arrived here Monday
from Nevada, says the Salt Lake Tele
gram. He says the surveys have all
been completed and are now in the
hands of the government’s engineers.
He is passing through Salt Ioike en
route for Montana, where he will soon
commeuce a survey for another large
irrigation system.
We admire the man that said: “If
there ia one man who more than anoth
er deserves the outsnoken contempt
and opposition of every honest soul, It
is the man who delights in filling the
minds of the younger men and boys
with the foulness of which he has an
abundant reservoir." Such a person,
with his immoral jests, his foul stories
ami his uncleanly suggestive looks and
words, is devoid of the vital element
of manhood, which is a sense of chiv
alry and self respect. lie is more
like that other tempter, the master
he serves, Satan himself, than
l>erha|M any other class of wrong
doers It is well for the manhood of a
boy or young man to eultivnte the
courage to tell such a creature to hia
what he is and what he deserves.

The courts are la-ginning to define
the re*|Kiuaihility of labor unions. An
instance Is reported from Indianu
where a judge of the circuit court
holds that labor organizations, though
not Incorporated, may lie made tie
femUiila III an action of law whenever
the issues involved in s suit affect the
relation* lietwecu the meiuticra of the
union and the public order and safety.

Typewriters and Pens.
New ^ ork Press: The typewriter
trust holds its own amazingly well.
The price seems pegged at $100. Like
the price of certain stocks in the mar
ket—nobody can budge it. We ought
to be able to buy a first-class writing
machine for $45. And it should be in
closed so as to be dust proof. Why
has not some one put a dust proof
typewriter on the market? Nothing
simpler; nothing more to be desired.
A few years ago you had to pay $7 to
$10 for a first-rate fountain pen; to-day
you can buy a serviceable one for 10
cents Typewriters should come down
in proportion, for they are the tools of
a great army of laborers at small
wages.
They now call the disease autopho
bia.
Missouri should call for an appropri
ation to erect a penal institution for
legislators.
The secretary of the navy should
find some scheme whereby our ships
in times of peace will not blow them
selves up.
A southern man is trying the ex

Petroleum is said to be a good pro
ducer of pork, and a company has
been formed in Indiana to bore for oil
for this purpose.
Carnegie says combines are good for
working people. The only way An
drew can square himself after that is
to cough up a few more millions.
It is said that a good many Man
churians carry American dollar
watches and amuse themselves all
evening by winding them up.
And now we are hearing a good deal
about presidential timber for 1904.
Strange some of these “trees” never
attain to any considerable growth.
Theoretically every boy in thin coun
try of 80,000,000 people is a possible
president in embryo. Practically
speaking, only a few score of them are.
The latest pipe dream is a scheme to
turn the black republic of Hayti over
entirely to negro control, to be popu
lated by negroes emigrated from
America.
The spectacles of kings kissing each
other has a strong tendency to turn
the American stomach. Fancy Roose

Balute.”
Russia asserts that there “has been
no change in her policy as regards
Manchuria.” Certainly not. She in
tended to gobble it and is still of the
same mind.
The man who belabors a horse until
it is unfit for service is a man whom
the community can very well get

than the horse.
The relation of capital and labor
forms one of the most important of the
subjects to be solved by future years.
But there will he rivers of blood before
this question is settled.
That Ohio editor who issued a “kick

American farmers are such success
fill wheat growers that "at per cent of
Ihe crop goes abroad. England alone
paid $87,000,000 for American wheat
in 190”. The present prosjiect is that
our wheal harvest of 1003 will be a
record breaker.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy.
“When I had an attack of the grpi
laat winter (the second one) I actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy,” says Frank
W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. “This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
ful of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come at night I.
would take a dose and it seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and I would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. I had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because I had not
tried it for such a purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack
of coughing the remedy caused it to
not only be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and I had
not used the contents of one bottle be
fore Mr. Grip had bid me adieu. For
