SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY.

Read at the Second Anniversary of the Cairo TEN
pcrance Reform Club
Somebody's birthday comes to-day!
Comes In November and not In May;
Comes when the birds have left the bowers,
Comes when,the frost has killed the flowers.
How shall we make the birthday bright
With warmth and laughter and song and light.
So shall the sunbcams gid the day
Though the winds are cold and the skies are
gray.
Two swift years in their winged flight
Passed through the portal out of sight.
Days of sunshine and days Of rain,
Fitting softly, varying train;
Filled with duties and touched with care,
Lightened by love and blessed by prayer,
Nobly lived, by many man
Since Red Ribbon Birthdays first began.
There are sad, sad days in the silent years;
Days of darkness and bitter tears
When the bravest was not too brave to weep,
AZ We laid our Brothers away to sleep.
We miss them still from the vacant seat,
From the daily task from the busy street.
What can we do in the changing scene
To keep their memory fresh and green!
Make them part Of our daily life,
Aswe stand in the midst of the noise and strife
Say as me draw near our setting sun,
The work that you left us is brayely done,
Hara n thia hall TINT call home.
Here where hundreds have loved to come,
Here let.us pause on our busy way,
Here let US keep our happy day.
Here in the dark and cloudy day
Wives and mothers have knelt to pray;
Many food of such bitter tears
Lie In the folds Of the finished years.
Yet there are tears of the purest JOY,
When the mother wept DER her rescued boy,
And between her sobs we could hear her say,
"There is joy with the angels In Heaven today
How many homes full of love and light,
Filled with innocent gee tonight.
Bless the Ribbon We hold so dear,
And bless the birthday that brings US here.
IlouOl W tuocc MHOuhlcu w w
All that was brave and right and true;
Honor to those whs for garments clean
Strive though the blood drops fall between.
Hopes for the future we gladly bring
Light as the song birds on the wing,
Full of all happy thoughts and bright,
.Goden and rosy with rainbow light.
Here is a gift beyond pearls and gold,
&" We bring you our boys TO have andto hold
Help them and guard them and love them well
They are far more precious than verse can tell
See th& the flock we have given to-day
May never be lost in the thotny way;
That the bitter wall may be heard from none,
What have you done with my beautiful one!
Here are the girls from their busy haunts,
Here are your sisters. your cousins and you
aunts;
They are always ready to cook for you
Lunches and suppers and dinners too.
Their prayers and wishes and hopes they bring
And the kind hands ready for anything;
Ready to work and ready to give
As long as the Red Ribbon club shall live,
BE coed to yourself" they would softly say;
Keep in the tried and proven way
Don't you forget how our hearts would ache,
Ifone OF our brothers his pledge should break
Men and women in many home
Will bless your names in the years to come.
Deep in their hearts, your memory keep,
When your tired eyelids have closed to sleep.

Cairo. The object of the fair IS to add to
the fund for rebuilding Loretto Academy,
destroyed by fire several months ago. The
ladies in charge are making every effort to
render the affair an enjoyable one for all
who attend, as well as a financial success.
Let all lend hand to assist them in this
worthy object
Potter, who edits the Argus, and
Mckee, who does the laughing CHATS
about alp for the Argus, are angry at us.
Dear good, simple and silly old women
they both are, and an excellent team they
make. They are angry at us, we say.
Angry at us, who are young, beardless and
innocent. But we love them both and es-
pecially the "gay old gazclle," who, though
she paints and pads, is fat, fair and about
forty. We want to embrace her-want to
kiss her pouting lips for her mother, until
smile of sanity delight glitters over her
countenance and she is again restored to
good humor.
Sometime during Friday night some
body entered the store of Messrs. Pettis g.
Bird on the corner of Eighth street and
Washington avenue, by breaking the bolts
from the back door. Saturday morning
when Mr.. VIM. Axley, the clerk, opened the
front door, he found the back door already
open, and the money drawer and cigar
case ditto. Fortunately the money had
been placed in the safe and although
close examination of the stock was made,
nothing could be missed. 1t is probable
that the thieves were scared off while look
Ing for money or something worth steal

The photograph" is the name of a
very practical and convenient arrangement,
answering, in many instances, the purpos-
es of printing press which has found its
way into the Offices of many of the business
houses of this city. We were yesterday
shown the workings of the photograph"
by Mr.. Geo. S. Fisher, in the custom house,
where it is apparently filling a vacancy Sc
rlously felt before its invention. tits very
simple, the whole thing" being composed
of composition, somewhat similar to print
ers' composition, poured into tin pan to
the depth of about half an inch. The "Hec.
tograph" is retailed tor six dollars but can
bemade by anybody, with little trouble, and
at an expense of only $1.20 by following
the below receipt, which we obtained from
Mr. Fisher for publication: To make the
composition take two ounces of glue, soak
in cold water until it becomes pliable-say
twenty minutes. Then put it in a dish and
place the dish in hot water. Next put ten
ounces of glycerine in dish and put same
in hot water, and when dissolved mix well
with the glue, adding five drops OF carbolic
acid, Next, pour the mixture into nine
by fourteen inch pan and let it stand for
fifteen hours, when it will be ready for use.
The ink used must be copying ink and pur-
pie will be found to be the best for all pur-
poses. When desiring to take impressions,
moisten the composition with a sponge,
place the letter, with the writing downward,
on the composition. Let it remain undis-
turbed for few minutes, when from two to
three Hundred impressions can be taken
therefrom.

Crou1 by his legal heirs. Croux was 4
wealthy ex-iron-mongef, Since his re-
tirement from business he had resided
alone In q of his own houses The
top door of this house was occupied by
the widow Bouchard. She had 4 large
family and Wa poor. Old Croux was
very lenient with her in the matter of
rent. She expressed her gratitude by
bringing him little delicacies from her
table. Among these were pancakes, in
the preparation of which abe was very
skill}ul. Croux handed these produc-
tions of her culinary skill to his friends
and swore that she Wa the best cooker
Of pancakes under the sun.
Last January the unfortunate old
bachelor was found dead in his bed. He
wa enormously fat, and affected with
asthma. The night before he had tied
his night-cap too tight and becoming
uneasy during the night, had rolled on
hs back, when the string had strangled
him. A swarm Of relatives, whom no
