| "Themas wore his brooches tight;
OF this he did not think, =
| When he put on his roller skates =.
| To show off in the rink.
His first adventure was his last
He'll put on skates no more,
He tried to kick the roof all in, ..-.
And sat down on the floor. a.
When he dropped the girls all laughed
1t was an awful fall;
And when they had their backs all turneds ,
He backed up to the wall.
He called friend, took OFF the skates,
And giving them the wink,
Said, Jones, lend me that long tailed coat
want to leave the link"
See estray notice.

Hyde Park Republicans are rejoic-
ing generally over the results of their
late election, but the Democrats are
feeling much worse brooding over their.
defeat, than if they had stood up man
fully and relied upon their own legiti-
mate strength for victory
Notwithstanding the inclemency of

The telephone in this locality is
big thing. About one-fourth of the

As it is, it is worse than no phone.

skate and shake it and examine the
buckles and all will think a loose skate
did it. This will arouse great SYM

The lesson to be learned from oul
election Tuesday is plain. Personal
malace and politics don't mix. The
Republicans of Hyde Park have nc

the unpleasant memories of the can.
