READING FOR THE YOUNG,
HAPPY AS A KING.

I'D like to know why I should frown,"
Sang s~unny-hearted Joe.
think of the ~birds-they never sigh:
look at the clear, unclouded sky;
L bark to the brook that ripples BY,
And, happy US a king
Oh, hol-
I whistle and 1 sing.
L like to know why / should NOPE"
Sang s~unny-hearted Joe.
The overs are smiling all day long;
The cricket chirps his merry song;
Atry. their plan when aught goes wrong,
And, happy as a king
Oh, ho!-
/ whistle and l sing.
sd like to know why I should weep"
Sang sunny-hearted Joe.
1.-The gloomiest day will end at last;
The rainiest weather soon be past;
Whate'er the troubles DER me CASE
Still, happy as a king
Oh, ho!-
I'll whistle aud I'll sing"
know of some I'd like to see
Take pattern after Joe.
Signs, tears and frOwns don't help to bear
The daily burden of our care.
Wise Joe. the lot of life to share,
And, happy as a king,
To whistle and to sing.
George Cooper, in Golden Days.

-Courtshin in Utah--..Well. goo,

-Courtship in Utah--''Well, good
night, dearest George: I hope you will
reach home safely. Can not you call
again tomorrow EVENING"" No, dear
est. Tomorrow evening I go to see
Ethelinda." '.Well, the evening after?"
''Sorry; but that's Angelina's night.
It's a fact, dearest Aurora. Every night
in the week is occupied now, and I
have three matinees to do besides. But
cheer up. dearest. We'll have a grand
wedding some of these days. when I
will be able to clasp you all to my
heart. never more to separate" Then,
pressing a fond kiss on his darling's
lips, the lover takes his departure

NAV be a useful material

-Celluloid may be a useful material
for many purposes, but it is not likely
to become popular among clgar-smok-
lover of the weed absent-mindedly
smoked the stump of a cigar too close
to his celluloid teeth, and an explosion
occurred which used up his mouth so
badly that he will want to take nour-
1shment through a tube for some time
to colne.-EtttsburQh PoSt.

Corporation Aid to Pike Roads.

AT a meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen held last Wednesday
night, it was resolved to submit to a
vote of the people, at a special cleo
ton to be called for that purpose, a
proposition for the corporation to
take stock to the extent of $500 for
each five miles of pike road leading
out of town.
We are glad to see the Board TAX
ing hold of this matter, and if prop
erly discussed before the voters, with
out creating prejudices for or against
the project, we feel confident that
large majority of the voters of the
corporation will vote for it.
Pike roads are of incalculable value
to both town and country, and the
town must take the lead and aid
largely in their construction, or we
can never hope to secure them.
Scores of Northern people are coming
into our county every month, looking
for homes, and many of them leave
without buying simply for no other
reason than that we have no pike
roads or bridges.
With tax too insignificant to be
felt by any one, McMinnville can
well afford to take $5OO.00 stock each
year in pixies until every main road
leading out of town is piked for dis
tance of five miles. BY the time this
result is secured, the increase in the
value of town property which the
pixies will bring will have paid back
the taxes for that purpose many times
over. And in addition to all this,
eight out of every ten dollars spent
in the construction of these pike
roads, will be paid back to the mer-
chants and business men of McMinn-
vile, for groceries, provisions, and
wares of various kinds. The build
ing of any pike road out Of town will
give employment to large number
of idle hands, and enliven the trade
of all local dealers.
/ If the proposition meets with the
favor of a majority of the voters, il
will secure the immediate building
of the Smithville pike for five miles
as large amount of stock has al
ready been raised.

Umbrellas.

Frequently umbrellas are borrowed
or carried away unintentionally by
persons and forgotten or neglected to
be returned to the owner. In many
instances they are taken by mistake
and never returned, for the reason the
party taking does not know the owner.
The writer, and others have reason to
complain on this account and suggest
that if any person or persons in this
vicinity have in their possession an
umbrella that does not belong to him
or them, if they will report Or leave al
this Office, we will do our best to re-
store it to the owner.
