THE POLTROON.
His country cowered under t he mailed fist
Of the great soldier nation of his day;
But did he volunteer? Not he: instead:
He talked in ill-timed, ill-judged platitudes,
Urging a> most unpatriotic peace.
People that had been once slapped in the face*
Ought to stand still, he thought, till slapped again
And when* they were insulted they should watch
For chances to return it with a favor!
I will say for hinv, milksop that he was,
He proved consistent, for he let himself
Be knocked* about the streets and spit »pon,
And never had the manhood to hit back.
Of course he had' nosensedit all of honor,
Either his countr’s honor or his own:
Contemptible poltroon! His name was.Jeauo*

Man Shot Returns j
~Tr'rr 1 11,1
Ed Morrow* the young man who was j
shot at Rueebud, Montana , returned ,
home last week, lie has a bullet lodg-
ed somewhere in his somnch undone of
his teeth is gone. According to his
story his assailant who pretended to be
his friend, shoved him over while they
were riding on a freight car together
and when he started to get up he found
himself looking down the barrel of a
revolver. The rohb<*r then went !
through his pockets stole his money
then forced biro to-jump off the moving
train firing the gu-i at him as he jump- 1
ed off. The scoundrel has not been
ruptured after committing this d*s-'
tardly act. John Morrow the brother^
who left here from Rosebud, after I
hearing to the shooting remained in i
Dakota w here he found work.
A bright little six year old hoy, Fid-
gar Bennett was picked up here iM.in-
day afternoon while walking in on th®
Rock island tracks about two and a
half miles west of Harrah by a man
that works for Cfias. Thompson. Th®
little f» How ihformed the man that ha
was on his wuy home from Oklahoma
City to his home at Shawnee. He had
walked half the way or a distance of 19
miles by himself. When brought into
liatrah Judge Munson telephoned to
the police at Shawnee ami found that
j lie did belong there bo he was put on
i the local train and sent to his home
, that afternoon.
I U|>on investigation it sezms that the
i little fellow is in the habit of running
away- lie is exceedingly smart for
his age, has a merry little face with
: keen twinkling eyes and is at hom.
-anywhere. He visited the News Office
and quite won our hearts being- very
friendly and generous with his stick
candy that some one had given him.
When questioned about his attempt
to walk from -Oklahoma City to Shaw-
nee his reply was "1 have walked fur-
ther than that many a time.” A-^eti
if his mother knew that he had gon®
to the Fair, he replied, ‘‘Y«s, she gave
me a dime and a quarter and told m3
I could go.” Tnu money went continu-
ed the hoy for rides on the merry g«
' round. When asked • how his mother
I thrunght bo would get borne his reply
-,m O, she lowed I’d makg it all
I right.” The family according to tho
I little fellow had recently moved from
, tho farm t<> the City whero-his mother
takes in washing for a living. Asked
as to the t.mploym*jot of his father ha
remarked with a ruprisei look, "Ain’t
we moved to town, uin’t no land in
town. ”
Later news was rece ved euacernuig
the hoy from Shawnee that the boy
had been sent from there to the Okla-
homa City orphanage. He is sure an
interesting like.thie little chap and
some oae with a g®od hsrne ought to
adopt him, educate him and give tha
boy a chance.
