A BREEZY LETTER,
Ante Lucem Sizes Up Few

with which Miss Parthenia took up the
wage of battle with the Highland man

pleased with the marshaling of the
powers, the vanquiShment of one, and
victorious march of the other, and
while years ago ] succumbed to the
inevitable which awaits man, if he but

love-. it would be a pleasure to know
the fair Parthenia. She may be a
'brick," but there is the evidence of
sOundness which bespeaks the true
woman. However, there seems to be
underlying the whole guise an inclina-
ton OH the one hand of innocent decep-
ton, and the object of finding out on
the Other-a contest in which the
assaulting force has come out second

admiration. Henceforth consider the
unknown Ante Lucem your friend.
The word MASTERS, as applied to
the commercial travelling man, CRATES
harsh upon my ear. While we are not

our paths are greater than any other

made so largely by the opposite sex. In
several years upon the road observation
has proven to me that there is large
number of the fair sex dispersed
throughout the country whose greatest
desire is to know and become acquainted
with the drummer merely for flirtations.
Excluded as we are very largely from
the society of ladies, is it other than
natural that we should, in a measure,
become coquettes? If there is ANYTHING

DEDICATED TO SENECA"
There is a man with nerve like steel

There is a man with nerve like steel
And hand that's always firm;
He is with the boys and for the boys,
And his name is De LaVergn.
His eyes they shine with calm, blue light
His hair is getting gray;
He is foremost in all that is great and good
And always sure to stay.
The winds may blow their wintry blasts
Ger the prairies bleak and bare,
But you see old Seneca, grip in hand,
And always surely there.
1t reminds one of the ancient days,
When the Romans fought for fame.
But Seneca, always true as steel,
Defends the travellers name.
He has Travelled the road for forty years,
And is surely not dub.
He always dresses la mode,
And is first vice of the Travellers club.
