years furnished 30 its patrons an unsur-

dependent upon connecting lines to make

Second Thoughts Are Always Best.
They stood beside The meadow brook
Sweet, winsome Kate and handsome Jack;
An angry glean was in his eye.
While she the tears could scarce keep back.
Wen part as friends, ST least" she said,
For harsh words rsnkle in the breast"
And she has learned, this little maid
That second thoughts are always best"
And then she turns and walks away,
While Jack-wsil- when his wrath is cool
He calls himself a few pet names.

How could he doaot his l4ssle Kste,
Whose ruby lips and soulful eyes
Speak 1aG5at but truth and tenderness
Nor court deceit IN any guisei

How well he knows the dear old path
VIII Katie Eleet him with sulief
Can she forgive his foolish vrssat
BE finds sweet face EeI with tears
But when his tsnit he nss confessed
She suiles-'T thought I'd not forgive,
But second thoughts arc always best'~
In after years. when handsome Jsck
And winsorne Kate go hand n hand,
As down LIES journey, side oy size,
They glide along through Eden hand"
No rippies mar The wa.ers blue.
For love their happy home hath 6I.st
And each has learned AIS ever true

his vote accordingly. If he is more

that Pierre had the lead in popular
