A Soldier's View.

The following letter by a well known old soldier of Fair Oaks to a pension agent at Rensselaer, is commended to the consideration not only of all soldiers but of all their true' frieilds of all parties. Fair Oaks Ind., Sep-t. 9-20 1900. Comrade and Friend:— As the campaign is now nearing an enel and the election close at hand. I desire to push my application for an increase as fast as po - sible. For if Bryan is elected, my application for increase will not be worth considering; old soldiers will be relegated to the rears, if the opposite party gets in power. The democratic party is not in sympathy with the old soldiers and never was. And no sensible person ever expects them to be, it isn't natural for them to be. Birds of a feather Hock together. —Bryan’s war record isn't worth mentioning.-Cleveland is silent —Stevenson has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Oh where oh where is my free silver dog —he is going up Salt river. Please notify me soon lam in a very embarasing'position. Sincerely, Fair Oaks, Ind.

MISTAKEN.

He said; shall not toss Mankind upon a cross Of shining gold."’ “Nor press his brqjv with thorns, Nor tread upon his corns When he is old ” He said: “No fires will burn, No wheels, no spindles turn, Without my hand Is at the nation’s helm; Dictator of the realm? — Chief of the band.” He said “the metal white Is strictly in the fight (I lugged it in). We’re on free silver bent, Without the world's consent And it will win.” The voters heard him shout, Then straightway went about To give him fits; They said "L 1 we want no stuff Half money and half bluff, A dollar worth four bits.” It took his breath away When the people had their say In N-O-V. But he’s got his second wind, Thinks he'll not again be skinned; Just wait and see.

The fellows that robbed the Brock bank pretty nearly ruined the two horses they ‘‘borrowed” to [go to Sheldon with, thej' drove so fast. The horses belonged to Will Strole and his mother. It is thought, from the'scientific manner in which they opened the vault door, that they might easily shave cracked the safe, also, if they had not been short of time. “The summer is past and the harvest is ended,” At least the autumal equinox has occured, and that is both popularly and' astronomically considered to mark the dividing time between summer and autumn. In point of. fact the weather usually shades off so gradually from summer to fall, in this latitude that there is no such thing as an actual absolute dividing place between them, but “the line must be drawn somewhere” and to draw the “line” where the “sun crosses the line” is about as good as any. The 7 exact time of the equinox, this time was Sunday, Sept. 23rd at 7 o’clock a m. the sun being, at that time exactly vertical over the earth’s equatorTh > days and nights jTwere each jfist 12 hours long, all over the earth, on that day.
