THE sAUcY COCK SPARROW.

A little cock sparrow was fed daily
on a windoW-sill with bread crumbs by
a nice little girl. AS he grew fat he be-
came saucy, and, looking in at the win
dow and seeing his little benefactor
daily lunching on cake, be became dis
gusted with bread.
One day, when the cake was served
and the little girl had entered, he hop
ped in to taste this delicious food. I'm
fortunately, this nice little girl had a
pet cat, who was taking her siesta on a
cushioned chair. She spied the greedy
sparrow, and soon made an end of him.

A lazy worm, as lie turned over for

perished miserably by sunstroke.

THE IDLE WASP.
An idle wasp who had lived on stolen
sweets all the summer, was at his wits
end for a living.
Not liking any kind Of work, he made
up his mind that the easiest way to pro-
vide the needed honey was to get a rich
wife. So Furnishing his bright colors
he went and made an offer of marriage
to a queen bee. Her majesty was so in
that she ordered her subjects
to sting him to death, and cast him out
of the hive.

Second to None.


From the Bandera Buple.
There is no Disgusting of the
fact that If Hal. l.. Gosling runs
for Congress to this district, Mr..
Sayers, will require to begin TO hustle.
There is no question but what Gosling
would be the strongest man to run. He
Us personally acquainted all over the
district, is young man, is a hail fell
low well met man of legal attain
ments, second to none who visits these
parts, has practiced law in this district
for years and made hosts of friends, who
will flock to him despite of party ties.
Everybody likes Hal Gosling, and he
is recognized as an urbane gentleman,
an undefatigable worker, and faithful to
his friends and section. But the great
est danger to Democracy is Gosling's
power on the stump. If he becomes
candidate Major Sayers must prepare to
meet foeman worthy of the truest
steel. He must not deal in platitudes
nor dwell upon the glories of the past.
Hal Gosllng Is a beaver at work, and II
he runs, look out for more speeches than
any other man will make.
