though they preferred Sunday to any other
day.

Summer poetry of local origin continues
to flow in upon US like a rain torrent. Much
of it is stuff of the poorest sort, while occa-
sionally piece resembles somewhat poetry,
and is above the plane of mere rhyme

true motto, but our waste basket would prove
that the ould-be-poetasters are born around
us in a most prolific manner.

photographs of the late Earl Of Leitrm, and
the scenes depicting the shooting of the earl,
his clerk, and the car driver, as well as the
place where the bodies were found, and
the scene on the lake where it is sup
posed the murderers embarked and crossed
in boat The photographs are by G. Lord
law, of Strabane, Ireland. The photographs
picture of the scene of the latest agrarian

of avengers.
Colonel Barney Hughes, in his June issue
of the Rail,cay Record, advises Memphians
and other people as follows: Don't sweat
this summer" but his remedy or specific
cannot be obtained without pile of money.
We have known people to sweat even In the
winter season, and In the coolest climates.
Physicians insist that sweating is an indica-
ton of health. the bible Genesis i'll. 19)
says: sin the sioeat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread" Even Colonel Barney Hughes
will sweat this summer while trying to sell
tickets to those who are seeking 'ice-chests,"
or cool brandy and watering-places.
