Mary Maple Dodge writes these pretty
nursery rhymes


Two little birds can build fine nest
Two little arms can love mother best,
Two little ponies must go TO a span,
Two little pockets has my little man,
Two little eyes TO open and close
Two little ears and one little nose,
Two little elbows, dimpled and sweet
Two little shoes on two little feet
Two little lips and one little chin,
Two little cheeks with a rose set in
Two little shoulders chubby and strong.
Two little legs running all day long,
Two little prayers does my darling saw
Twice does she kneel by my side each day
Two little folded hands soft and brown,
Two little eyelids cast meekly down
And two little angels guard him In bed
One at the foot and one at the head
A description of rich deposit of man,
ala remains near Castleton, Derbyshire,
England, was recently read before the
Literary Society of Manchester. The re-
mains were found in reddish loan, filling
a basin or expanded fssure in the noun
tain limestone. Bones and teeth of the
bison and reindeer were most abundant,
but associated with these were the re-
mains of the wolf and the grizzly bear.
In PleistOcene times this spot was a
swampy drinking place, and vast herds
OF bison and reindeer, passing up from
the valley Of the Derwent into the plains
Of Chesire, halted here to drink. Some
would fall in while drinking, and others
would be begged, while the carcases of
those that might die in the neighbor-
hood would be washed in during rainy
weather. AS to the bears and wolves,
they probably followed the herd TO eat
up the weak, the sick, and the struggling.
In the course of the recent explora-
tions of the Esquiline quarter of Rome, a
number Of bas-reliefs and other pieces OF
sculpture were found belonging to tenn
pie of Jupiter Dolichenus. Among other
sculptured remains, a nearly perfect stat
ne of the god has been recovered. The
pedestal bears several votive inscriptions
by manumitted slaves and seamen of the
Roman feet at Misenum. The explora-
ton of this district Of Rome has also been
successful in bringing to light a large
number of Etruscan graves, and of 9TH
ers belonging to the times of the Empire,
in which are some highly interesting Gin.

Whereupon a discussion at once
commenced, which suspended the fur

Mr.. Blair asked permission to pres

and adjoining streets. which was read,
as follows:
To His Honor, The Mayor and the Coun-
eli of The City of Wheeling:
The undersigned residents and prop
erty holders of the Seventh ward re-
specially represent to your honorable
body that we are informed that there
is proposition before Council, to pave
streets in said ward between the two
bridges, and that Zane and Virginia
streets have been named.
Your petitioners are OF the opinion
that Zane street is the best route, it be-
ing shorter and more direct, and there
fore pray your honorable body to cause
Zane street to be paved in preference to
Virginia street. The petition was
signed by about one hundred citizens.
Mr.: Blair presented statement OF
the cost OF paving the respective streets,
the result OF which was in favor OF
Zane street by. about $4,000. Mr.
Blair argued very persistent!y in favor
OF the Zane street route, but the views
Of the members seemed to be adverse
to substituting Zane for Virginia street.
In the midst OF the discussion, while
some wished to pass the ordinance as
it then stood and others desired further
delay to thoroughly consider and in
vestigate it,
Mr.. Butterfield moved to adjourn.
Mr.. Wilson demanded the ayes and

TIE COMING PIANo-Slempdy Up
riqM-Messrs. Adams & Lucas, 1927
Market street, have recently succeeded
in introducing the Steinway Upright
Pianos in Wheeling, by the sale Of sevs
eral OF those superior instruments to
some OF our citizens.
The Upright Piano is. from its small
compact form and handsome exterior,
especially suited to the boudoir, the re-
cepti,n room and the parlors Of many
houses where Grand or Square Piano
could not be conveniently placed.
Messrs. Steinwsy 4 Sons have, after
long and earnest study and expert
ments, succeeded in producing Up
right Pisnofortes which are the
most perfect instruments OF
their class ever constructed. The
volume OF tone is fully equal to any Of
Steinway's best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality is OF the most exquls-
tie musical chsracter-pure, sympa-
thetic, and in the highest degree pliable.
The durability of these new Upright
Pianos, and their capacity OF standing
in tune, is unparalleled in the history
OF piano making, and even greater than
that OF the best Grand and Square Pr
amos.
Too much can not be said in favor OF
these instruments, 10 fact, they must be
seen and heard to be appreciated.
There is no doubt whatever that the
Steinway Upright Piano will shortly
displace other styles OF instruments,
and the Messrs. Adams & Lucas, sole
agents for the same, assure US that
there is a rapidly increasing demand
here for the same, and that they intend
in future to keep a stock OF them

sssAUCE FOR THE GOOSE SAUCE EOI
THE GANDER.''

The st. Louis "Republican, dis
cussins Simmons and Massachusetts,
has these pointed, and, in the main,
sensible remarks:
Massachusetts is like the ancient fc.
male described in the nursery story,
who sdidn't caro- what happened SO
long as it didn't happen to her." When
Butler was ruling New Orleans with Il
rod of iron, and covering the American
name and nation with ineffaceablc dis
grace, Massachusetts, thought it was all
right, and applauded him to the echo.
But when Butler ventures to squint at
the gubernatorial chair, and wants to
get his understrappers and wire-pullers
in comfortable position for working in
his behalf, then Massachusetts rises up
on her tiptOes and shrieks forth vituper-
alton like q crazy fishwoman. When
Northern -baggers ofthe kellogg
and Scott stripe are forced upon the
helpless people of the Southern States
by Federal laws and Federal bayOnets,
Massachusetts, lends her voice and her
vote to Il system which is literally the
sum of all iniquities. But when Il dis
agreeable person is nominated for the
Boston Collectorship, then Massachu-
sets is almost ready to get up little
feDclllOn Oh ncr own sllu eSlaOAASh II
colfish confederacy. When the rest of
the country is lamenting the pernicious
results of Presidential weakness and
favoritism, Massachusetts smiles serene
ly at influences which have not CHANGED
to hit either her pride or her pocket.
But when the President is weak enough
to yield to Butler, and obstinate enough
to cling to Buffers favorite, then Massa-
chusetts eNcommunicates him with bell,
book and candle, and sits in sackcloth
and ashes because the Government is
going to smash.
We have not an atom Of sympathy
for the Republicans of Massachusetts in
this their day Of trial and tribulation.
In fac we are rather disposed to
sslaugh at their calamity and mock
when their fear cometh." The cup
they have commended to the lips of
others is now pressed to their own re-
luctant lips, and we shall not be sorry
if they are obliged to drain it to the
very dregs. Outside of Massachusetts
no tears will be shed if Simmons is
made Collector of Boston, and if next
year Butler ssturns up trumps" and
wins the gubernatorial game. OF
Grantism and Butlerism Massachusetts
is justly entitled to the heaviest dose
that can be crammcd down her
throat.
