IiolYer Danske,

HOlger the Dane sits dreaming ever,
There in kronenburg, close by the sea,
Centuries pass, but he moveth him never,
What unto him are the things that be
Sounds Of strife have no power TO waken,
What recks he Of the tumult Of war;
Battles are lost end thrones are shaken,
Calmly he sleepth by Halisingor.
TIolger the Dane, clad In armor of might,
In Kronenburg castle, close by the sea,
Sits and dreams till his beard Is white,
Aud growth through the table down 70
his knee.
Denmark he sees In his dreams forever;
All things he knowetL that happen
there;
Yet deep in his sleep and he waketh him
never,
We hear not his feet on the silent stair.
Holger the Dane will one day awaken
In kronenburg castle, close by the sea,
When Denmark seems lost, and has hope
fOrsaKen,
Then will the time Of his waking be.
When the sound of his footstep ringeth
Loud on the stair from that chamber
deep,
Well we know that he victory bringeth,
Weakened at last from that long, long
sleep.
To Holder the Dane, each yuletlde night,
In Konenburg castle, close by the sea,
There cometh from heaven an Angel bright,
To bid him sleep on in the year to be.
Still we know he will one day walien
From that deep sleep on the northern
shore;
Well we know we are not forsaken,
There he is watching by IIesingor

Ode TO the Buffalo Girl.

Will the Buffalo girl come cut tonight
And dance by the light OF the moon?
On the elevator. tower II flickers bright,
The lunar orb Of June
And an underfed poet can dance as light
As u fay in silver shoon.
o Buffalo girl with the wealthy pop,
And the hour,mills huge and high,
There's a wonderful charm, TO which poets
drop,
In your tender azure eye;
could rhyme for you with never stop
To the saccharine by and by.
o Buffalo girl, your great big lake
Is duck pond beside my heart,
That throbs and throbs till it's nigh to
break,
And It's you that have caused II smart. d
o rise and give the eternal shake
To the fate that keeps US apart
o Buffalo girl come out 10. night
And elope by the light of the moon!
Aud u Wagner car shall aid our flight,
AS We skip meath the sky of June;
And your parents will probably do what's
right,
And come down with the scads full soon.

illness, complained to Judge Joe Barnard of
the suffering he endured from rheumatism
That learned and humorous Judge under

"GOu must desire your servant he said
to the general, "to place every morning by
your bedside tub three parts filled with
warm water You should then get into the
tub, and having provided yourself with
plenty OF yellow soap, you must rub your
whole body with il, immersing yourself
occasionally In the water, and at the end of
a quarter of an hour the process concludes
by wiping yourself dry with towels, and
sCrubbing your person with ileshbrush."
why said the general after few
moments reflection upon what he had just
heard, "this seems tC me nothing more nor
less than washing yourself
