The Populists have made a strike.
Did you ever see the like?
It was Bryan this and Watson that,
A Populist and a Democrat,
They said.
. Hitch them up and let them go.
With the speed of,a taraado,
North, West, South or East,
Just any way to have a feast,
You know.
United they can pull us all,
Divided we will have to squall,
Bo rally around the Bryan stand,
And fail in line with Watson’s hand.
’Tis so.
Away they will go, the tallyho,
A united Popolist-Demo show I
We’ll cheer them on with song and band.
Strait into the Presidential land.
But now!
Now they say we’ll have no show,
And may I ask who’ll take the crow?
I’ll tell you what’s a solid fact,
One of our parties will strike it flat—
More squalls I
Metliinks it is the safest plan
To cancel the creed and vote for the man.
It was the plan of long ago.
When there wasn’t so many eating crow.
Moral:
• United we’ll stand
Divided we’ll squall.
Oh, for a man
To rake them ail!

The Birmingham News scores
this point: “The Populists are cap
able of doing some very queer things.
They have fused with the Prohibi

fusion seems to have its basis on a
desire for office, without any par
ticular choice as to the party with
which it fuses.”

gy and two of the trees were struck.
One wheel was torn from the wagon,
the buggy was literally smashed to
pieces and the trees were a total
wreck. The young man’s ilesh was
torn slightly on one side and he was
unconscious for some time. The
wonder is that he was not instantly
killed. At last accounts ho was do
ing well.

DON’T HACK THE BOYS.
Do you know what makes many
men timorous, uncertain and given
to hesitation on everything unusual
with which they are confronted ? '
It is because they were hacked
when they wero boys. They were
not taught self-reliance, were not
trusted and were made to doubt their
own inherent powers and judgment.
Such a course of training tends to
damn the character of a man and
keep him in the rear ranks all his life.
If a boy shows a nature that is
bold and aggressive try to teach him
to curb his impulses and to consider
the consequences before he acts, but
don’t cow him down by a peremp
tory course of repression.
If he bo timid and retiring teach
him that nothing is to be gained
without some risk. Encourage him
to strike out and think and act for
himself. One way to teacli a boy
to swim is to pitcli him head over
heels into ten foot water.
I don’t believe in teaching a boy
quite sohoroically as that, because
you are likely to give his nervous
system a shock from which he can
never recover.
But I was taught to swim by being
taken out into deep water by a strong
swimmer, and turned loose and told
to do my best nnd fear no danger as
there was plenty of help if I should
need it.
A few lessons like that were all
that I required and soon learned to
swim without any trouble.
Show your confidence in the boy by
giving him a chance. If he advances
a sensible idea or course of conduct,
encourage him in it and givo him
the benofit of your experience.
Don’t hack the hoy. If I10 wants
to take part in the foot races or
athletic exercises fix him up the best
you are able so that lie will not bo
handicapped and tell him to go in
and win.
If lie wants to go fishing or hunt
ing see that lie is in company with
some responsible person and tell him
to go ahead.—M. M. F., in Rome
Tribune.

Tiie readers of tlfis paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least one
dread disease that science has been able
to cure in all its singes and that is Ca
tarrh. Hall’s Cntarili Cure is the only
postlvo cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catnrrh Cure Is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, nnd giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing Its work. The
proprietors have so much faith In its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
falls to cure. Send for list of Testimo
