Mr. Thomas Jefferson Mc Laglafton requests us to tell our fellow correspondents to drink plenty of bean licker. He says he drinks lots of good salt bean licker that it makes him drink lots of water, and he always feels good after doing so. He Is sure that more bean licker, less corn licker. and more water would add immensely to the health of the nation. The ins and outs of the weather are results of planetary conjunctions says a Jakevllle astronomer. Jake Handy says conjunction is too big la word for him but it is his private opinion that two celestial billy goats got together the other night, up there in the amphitheater of the skies and did some knocking like was never before witnessed In June time. He is sure that Mars, butted Into Saturn's North Pole, and knocked off a thousand million tons or ice and sent It in showers to the four corners ofj everywhere, several pieces of which struck in his cotton patch, and one or two in his bed room. Says his cotton shows unmistakable signs of being frost bitten, and that he himself would have shown the same signs had he not slept under three qqllts for three nights in succession. Jake's older than some of us and declares that was A No. 1 June weather.

C.?Ah ihi* !et-j ar is being written the steam roller i h at work at Chicago and the howls| the Roosevelt delegates and the] Roosevelt supporters can be heard] i long ways as their political bones! sre crunched out by this political team roller. It is working just us I said It would in this correspondence\ whether the Taft pcope have got the courage and the nerve to keep right cn using this politicr.1 juggernaut until they have wiped up every Roosevelt deli gate and seated every raft man, will depend the outcome af the Republican National Convention. This letter will probably not he read before everybody will know whether It is going to be Tuft cr Roosevelt that the Democrats have got to lick next fall. Taft has a mighty small margin to work on just now and unless all his delegates arc seated Roosevelt will have a majority on the first ballot as the outcome will probably prove. If they are seated sr.d Taft gets the nomination there is r.o question in my nund that there is going to be a bolt by the Roosevelt people and the Republican party split from narrative to iteck band. If there is a split then there is going to bo merry war. A number of states that Roosevelt has carried have named the State Central Committee all favorable to Roosevelt and Roosevelt will be nominee. The Taft people will then have to go Into court and mandamus the Secretary of State ar.d there will be hades to pay and no hot pitch.
