Not That Kind of a Man.

At a banquet of the Farmers’ Union at Shawnee, Okla., a satirical speech by Irwin S. Mason, of the 3alisaw stock farm was well received. “Enough, then,” — so Mr. Mason ended —“enough of this lying talk of the farmer's meanness and hardness and narrowness —this talk that makes the farmer out to be the kind of a man who'd complain If hiß yrife eloped in the spring with the hired man, that he wouldn’t have cared so much If she had only eloped in the fall Instead, so that he’d have been spared the expense of wintering her.” ' - r \.■■':■■■/ ••
