but none would accept their idea of demanding
the simultaneous repeal of the constitution and
the statute, and, alas, everybody laughed at the
idea OF Mr. Rust's candidacy. Indeed, though
the Democratic party is as solidly "agin" pro-

another vote of the people on the constitutional

In the spring the old mans fancy turns to things

And in liver regulators he invests his surplus
wealth.
TIE LOVING MOTHER.
In the spring, when flowers are waking and are

In the spring the house needs cleaning, cellar,
garnet, room and stair.
And dear wives proceed about it, driving husbands

THE AMATEUR GARDENER.
In the spring, the husband fools around with spade
and rake and hoe.
And plants and sows lot of things that never,

THE YOUTH.
In the spring the youth is anxious to be fashonably
SO he has his last years overcoat repaired and
sponged and pressed.
THE MAIDEN.

And i'll the spring she decks herself in beautiful

Rev. J. 8. Willis heartily endorsed the
