THE MAN WHO WAS "BURNING UP
INSIDE. when the excitement was at
its height in Newark, Ohio, last week,
stalwart citizen felt the necessity of
bracing himself up. The mayor had or
dered the closing of all saloons and
drinking places, and the police had en-
forced the regulations rigidly. But there
was back door in Gingerbread row, and
behind the bar there was long-range
lightning whiskey. The stalwart cit1-
zen crept in, got his drink and beat a
retreat. Soon was overwhelmed with
burning sensations in his stomach
Something seemed to be blazing there,
and he burst into DOCTORS office ex-
claiming, "For Gods sake pump me out
quick" "What is wrong with you p"
inquired the doctor. "Get the pump
ready while am telling you. !! am
burning up inside. I took drink down
on Gingerbread row. They have put a
job up on me. L am poisoned" The
doctor suddenly jnterposed. "Why, I
smell something burning myself" and
opening the patients waistcoat found a
hole three inches in diameter burned in
the shirt front. While the stalwart cit
izen was taking his drink he had drop
ped cigar-stump between his waistcoat
and shirt. Didn't you smell smoke ?"
asked the doctor. "You're right, I did !;
but I thought it was coming out of my
mouth"

POLITICAL NOTES.

Old James G.. Blaine,
Who halls from Maine,
Is as mad as the very devil.
Because Rutherford B.
Declares that he
Will hold old Jimmie level;
And Oliver p,
Who's as mad as James g.,
Cavorts, touches, and swears,
That Rutherford B.
Shall be sorry that he
Ever tackled these mad March hares
Bring forth the sun umbrella
And the biggest fan you own,
And the lightest linen buster
That will suit the torrid zone.

am fussy and crusty,
And as dry as bone;
So ladies-good ladies'
Just let me alone!
Go shake out your ringlets,
And beam out in smiles;
Go tinkle your trinkets,
And show off your wiles,
Bewitch and bewilder
Wherever you can;
But pray-pray, remember,
lam not the man!
Pm frozen to bushes,
I'm proof against eyes;
I'm hardened to shippers,
And stony to signs,
I'm tough to each dart
That young Cupid can lance;
I'm not in the market
At any advance!
I sew my own buttons,
darn my own hose,
keep my own counsel,
And fold my own clothes.
Imind my own business,
And live my own life;
won't-no, the Dickens
Be plagued with a wife!
And yet there's nine spinsters
Who believe me there fate;
There's two dozen widows
Who'd change their estate.
There's silly young maidens
Who blush at my bow;
All-all bent ON marrying me
No matter how!
walk forth in trembling,
I come home in dread,
/ don't fear nay heart,
But I do fear my head!
My civilest speech
Is a growl and nod;
And that-Heaven save mel
Is "charmingly odd %
So ladies-dear ladies'
Just hear me, l pray;
speak to you all
In the pluralest way.
My logic is simple
AS logic can be-
fl don't marry you,
Pray-don't marry me!
