Take a walk through any of the
cemeteries throughout the country
and you will believe with me that
fools are slowly but surely passing
away.
With silent tread you pair the
last resting place of the individual
who blew into an empty gun.
The modest tomb of the hired
girl who lighted fire with kerosene,
and the grass-carpeted piound that
covers the mortal remains of the
boy who took a mule by the tail.
The tail-monument of the man
who didn’t know it was loaded
overshadows the dug-out of the man
who jumped off the car to save a
ten rod walk.
Side by side lay the remains ot
the ethereal creature who always
kept her closet laced up to the last
whole and the intellectual idiot
who tried to ride a bicycle
miles in ten minutes.
Here reposes the young doctor
who took a dose of his own medi
cine and the old fool who married
a young wife.
Right over yonder in the north
west corner, where the gentle
breezes sigh through, the weeping
willow that bends over his lowly
bed, lie* the poor misguided young
ster that told his mother-iu-law she
lied.
Down there in the potter’s field
with his feet sticking to the rude
blasts of winter snd blistering rays
of summer’s sun is stretched all
earthly remains of the misguided
regulator who tried to liclr the
editor, while the broken bones of
the man who wouldn’t pay for bis
paper are' piled up in a corner.
Near by, his grave unmarked,
reposes the mouidei ing dust of the
one-horse editor who tried to run a
P. P. paper in a first-class town
where there was an up-to-date
paper.
Over by the entrance reposes the
boy who wen( in swimming too
early in the season, and the old
ady who kepi her stryachnine and
baking powder aide by side in the
cupboard.
Right there in the path, directly
in front of the entrance, obstruct

m'icrobe-kiUer who rushed himself

The News does not take ’ favor
ably onto the idea of* abrogating
the rotation system of selecting
senators. We believe that the ro
tation system is tbe best and most
satisfactory to the great majority
of the people of the district. Of
course, it does not suit a few anx
ious political acbemers, who do
not have the opportunity of tbe
advancement of themselves or their
schemes as fast as they desire. But
this is not a thing so insignificant
as to be changed to suit such flimsy
whims, and neither do we believe
that tbe people of this senatorial
district ore so blind as to their
rights in the matter as to sit down
quietly andjlet the matter be settled
to tbe taste of a few political
tricksters.
