please Don't Hit Me-"

When Lige Page moved into the Elk
Horn ncighborhood, the people--at
least those who saw him and noted his
repellant face --declared that the ccm-
munity had not been benefited by his
selection of it rs his place Of residence.
Page was a contradiction of the alagc
that old age is honorable. His whiskers
were gray and his hair was almost
white. but ia his eyes there lurked a
vicious expression, and about the corn
ers of his mouth there seemed to fall
the dark shadows of mcditated violence.
He had no family except a grand son, a
small, delicate boy. A mere glance at
the child was enough to reveal the fact
that he was miserable. One day, while
old Mark Lane, as kind hearted old
fellow as ever lived, was gong through
the woods, he suddenly came upon the
boy, lying asleep under tree. Before
he could speak. the child sprans to his
feet with the cry please don't hit me, "
then blushing, he said:
81 thought you was gran'pa.'
"Great Lord" exclaimed old Mark
would your grandpa hit you?'
He always does, sir, when he ketches
me asleep, an he always hits me when
he wants to wake rne up in the mornln'.
'Ho, John, oh John voice loudly
called.
Hes calling me now,' said the boy.
I know he's goin to hit me.
I'll 60 along with you,' old Mark
rejoined. They soon reached the cabin
where Page liyed. The old man, with
a cane in his hand, stood near the door.
He paid no attention to old Mark, but,
when the boy shrinkingly came within
reach he struck him with the cane.-
Then, in the twinkling of an indignant
eve, Mark 'hauled off and knocked
Page down. The old fellow, scrambling
to his feet, turned upon Mark and
exclaimed:
What the devil did you hit me for :"
TO knock the deyil down., Mark
quietly replied.
i am a great mind to git a gun an
shoot you
Yes, rejoincd Mark, and several
yqArs from now somebody r'1m" "

Pat and tho Frogs.

The spring had come
With Its gentle rain
And the Frogs, from
Their beds of mud,
Walked up again;
Tuned up their pipes,
OF various tones,
From the shrill pccolos
To the sturdy tromboncs.
They were chanting IN coccrt
With strains of great glcc,
When Pat came along,
On pretty big spree.
No money had he
The "crathur" to buy,
And oh /! he was feeling
So terribly dry!
SO the only chance left
For drink, that he found.
Was the water that flowed
In the jolly Frogs pond.
He came to the brink,
With "skip and leap"
| When tempting small voice
Cried "Knee-dccp! knce,dccp!'
'Thank you kindly" said Pat,
"Yc're right well behavin',
So I'll take off me brogucs
An me feet III be lavin'.'
SO he took off his boots,
And at once threw them down,
When scpulclral tone
Said: you'll DIR room! You'll dr-r.romn,
"Howly Biddy !" said he,
"lt's me narycs yc'd be thryin'!
Ye'rc a murthcrin' set
OF thaycs at your lynn!
Me names Paddy Finn,
o. the county o'Claf ycur!
SO kom out, livery wan,
An III take the skalp atf yer!
If there's lvcr a wan Of yccs,
Has any spunk !"
But the answer he got
Was: "You'rc DIR RINK dr,rrunk! !unk!
| drunk, am Ell1n
An it's my way o'thinkin',
If I'd liyc as yccs do,
I'd always be drlnlin'!
Not wa-thcr, but whiskcy,
I'd live in, gum!
Will yccs howll yer hush, ivcr9"
More r-r-rrum! More r-rr.rum!
Pat picked up a stone,
Which he threw with his might,
And the voices at once
Were silcnccd outright.
SO he put on his brougcs,
On his way cogltatiny,
Their want Of politcn,ss,
And manners bcrating.
Said he: I'D go bail, that
| There'd be no more bother
| IT whiskey they lived in,
lnstid of cowld wa-thsr!'

Parties In Interest Invited To Give Their

OLYMPIA, Feb. 5.--The subcommittee
appointed to draft railroad bill met this
morning and decided to notify the various
railroad corporations and shippers of the
object OF their appointment and to ask
them 10 appear before the committee to
show cause why restrictive legislation
should not be enacted. The object is, of
course, 10 get the railroad and shippers

can be given why no laws should be passed

II is not expected that the committee can
be dissuaded By the representations of the
railroad men, unless the shippers side with
them strongly. which is not likely.
