I CUM IN
Being the Soliloquy of a Farmer on the Free Raw Sugar Question
Thars a mighly lot cr talkin about farmers n thar rights
N the wonderful prosperity thct beet growin invites
Thars a heap er foolish crowin n the beats begin ter shout
n holler fer the Tariff ter keep free raw sugar out
But I notis thet the bect producin farms arc very few
An the farmers through the country aint got much ef it ter dew
The hull land aint a raisin beets n aint goin ter begin
Beet growins right fer sum I guess but whar dew cum in
The farmer gits four dollars now fer every ton o beets
A hansom price I must allow but hldin sum deceits
Beet sugar manyfactercrs admit ee they hev found
Thet granylated costs cm sumthin like tew cents a pound
in lact thet leaves a profit on which they d greatly thrive
And if it kin be sold fer three why should we pay Jem FIVE
t
11 seems ter me cs Met s a game thets mighty like a skin
But if thars any benefit waal whar dew cum in
When Uncle Sams in want o cash were glad ter help him out
N well stand all the taxes thet are needed never doubt
But when his pocket books well lined an nary cent he lacks
Et seems ter me his dutys ter repeal thct sugar tax
Them fellers wot is interested sez its to protect
The bect producin farmer thet the duty they collect
But I guess thet cxplanaton cs a little bit too thin
The sugar maker hes all right but whar dew we cum in
Take off raw sugar duty an the price will quickly fall
To everybodys benefit fer sugars used by all
The poor will bless the Government thct placed it in thar reach
n millions of our citizens free sugar now beseech
The dealer 11 be delighted less expenditure fer him
More demand n bigger profits which at present arc but slim -
An the farmer 11 be as well paid as he ever yet hes ben
But hell buy his- sugar cheaper thets whar he an Ill cum in
Now whars the sense er reason of the sugar tax to day
When our treasurys a bulgin an we hev no debts ter pay
The duty on raw sugars Fifty million every year
An the peoples got ter pay it thets a fact thets very clear
Fifty million Great Jerusha 1 Ter protect beet magnates too
Why should they tax ALL the people just ter help a scattered FEW
And the FEW Beet sugar MAKERS Dont it really seem a sin
Thus ter help an fill thar coffers Whar dew you an I cum in
The farmer growin beets hes got a contract price fer years
Free raw sugar wouldnt hurt him an of it he hes no fears
But mebbe like myself hes also growing fruit so nice
Ter preserve it at a profit he needs sugar at a price
The repealing of the duty surely cuts the price in two
Thetll make a mighty difference neighbor both ter me an you -Let
the sugar manyfactrer make such profits as he kin
him it may seem right enufF but whar dew I cum in
An I aint a goin ter swallcr all the argyments they shout
Thct the farmers need protection an must bar raw sugar out
Common sense is plainly showin that the people in the land
Want raw sugar free in future an its freedom will demand
Tis a tax no longer needed hateful to the public view
Taxing millions of our people to enrich a favored few
They cant blind me any longer with the foolish yarns they -spin
While theyre busy makin money whar dew you and I come in
Im a goin ter keep on hustlin talkin plcadin7 with tny irends
no sense in lettin others gain thar selfish privet ends
Im a goin ter write tcr morrer to my Congressman 7nd say
Thet he oughter do his best ter kill that tax without delayl
Feller farmers do your utmost whether yon grow beets or not
Tojepeal the tax on sugar you can but improve your lot
Cheaper sugar helps your pocket greater blessingsvou can win
When weve three cent granylated thats vhar jou an Income in 1

Hero of Memphis Dead
Father Aloysius Wiever a Francis

Barbara mission in southern Califor

by the death of President McKinley
was the man who in 1878 earned the
title of the hero of Memphis He
was a native of Vreden Germany hav
ing been born sixty three years ago
He came to this country when 20
years old In 1870 he removed to St

of yellow fever broke out in Memphis
he voluntarily went to the stricken
city and remained through the plague

Ottawa Canada Nov 25h This
city is stirred up as never before
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account of n man named
George U -Kent of 408 Gilmour street
who was dying of Brlghts Disease and
who at the -very last moment after
several of our best physicians had de
clared -he couldnt live twelve hours
was saved by Dodds Kidney Pills
People who know how low Mr Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again -and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr Kent
in which he declares most positively
that in 1S94 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodds Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him and fur
ther that since the day that Dodds
Kidney Pills sent him back to work
seven years ago he has not lost a
single minute from his work He is
a printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter but he is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodds Kid
ney Pills in a very striking way by
having their little girl born in 1S96
christened by the name of Dodds
Altogether it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detaiF
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure
The local physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodds Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several of
the private meetings of their associa
tion

when we come one and all an unbrok

P the many feast days
celebrated throughout
the world Thanksgiving
Day the day set apart
by proclamation to give
thanks to the Giver of
all good for the mercies
and blessings of the year
is nearest and dearest to the hearts of
the American people Especially is
this so in historic old New England
where family ties associations and
memories together with the day-by-day
life of the hardy sons and daugh
ters of this prosperous and picturesque
region are tempered and molded even
to this day by the traditions of their
Puritan ancestry writes Rev John
Hall
Nearly three centuries ago a little
band of brave adventurous pioneers
celebrated the first appointed day of
Thanksgiving Governor Bradford at
Plymouth Mass in the autumn fol
lowing the landing of the Pilgrims set
apart a day to be devoted to thanks
giving prayer praise ana incidentally
to various and sundry demonstrations
of good will good fellowship and a
general good time for young and old
It was a day of boynty Ci openhanded
ness a day when the lah string was
not only altogether out but the door
was wide open It is said of certain
venerable Puritans that after the feast
was over after the hangers on and the
few poor of the neighborhood had been
fed that they gathered into baskets
the scraps and bits that remained and
went out through the highways and
byways looking for hungry dogs and
cats that they also might be filled on
this blessed day Failing in this they
placed the food on some rock or tree
trunk that the birds and wild beasts
might eat thereof There are many
holidays around which pleasant memo
ries cluster but among them all
Thanksgiving Day presents to our view
the most kaleidoscopic pictures This
day for family reunion this milestone J
on tne patnway of human life this day
from which many households date
their pleasures and their griefs the
red letter days in the calendar of the
aged and infirm hoped for waited for
prayed for because it brought once
more the smiling faces of loved ones
because it furnished one more delight
before the venerable and snow crowned
heads were laid away in their last long
home There is one most delightful
of Wales and all the Roval familv and ieaiure ot tnis aitogetner happy
dv the freauent increase of thff Ttnvil sion Blessed be the roof under which
erclsed the priceless privileges ol
thoughtlessness and snapping now
and then as girls and other than
girls have always done but
think it cannot be denied that
the girl of a generation ago had a
conscience on tho subject of debts ot
gratitude such as few have had since
her day
T have said that I am afraid that
with many of us today It Is a lost art
I am sure that it is not given that
prominence which It once had and
that it Is not cultivated with the en
thusiasm with which it once was
Girls are taught what etiquette says
about it but etiquette deals only from
the lips outward and the result Is
that even our language tells the story
of the decadence of thanksgiving A
traveler from Mars might hear our
Thanks a million times and never
suspect that it was meant as an ack
nowledgment of a favor I am suro
that up to say a dozen years ago in
those parts of our country where gal
lantry has held out longest one could
not give up a seat in a car without
being sure of a full return In an ac
knowledgment that meant to ac
knowledge something and that to
day the average man is utterly upset
and undone when his ears catch the
old sweet sound
Of course this dees not justify or
account for the current lack of gal
lantry among men but I am not en
gaged in the hopeless task of restoring
men to the old paths but in the hope
ful one of pointing out a neglected
talent which the most charming of
girls may cultivate with good results
I am not grumbling I do not mean to
say that the girl of the period is one
whit behind the girl of the past I do
not believe in the decadence of women
I believe that the girl of today is equal
to the girl her mother used to be but
I do not believe that it is enough to
say of our girls that they are equal
to the girls of the past any more than
it is enough to say of a flower that has
had the best attention of the host
florists for a generation that It is a3
beautiful today as it was thirty years
ago
If we have done wisely the girl of
today ought to have not only some
thing which her mother lacked but
she ought to have all her mothers
graces as well But it is a serious
question whether in pressing her de
velopment we have not cultivated
some qualities at the expense of
ethers just as in pressing the devel
opment of a certain flower we have
increased its size and beauty at the
expense of its fragrance
