W Mr.. Harrison does not forget to say q
good word in his message for the notorious
ship subsidy bills which have passed the Senate
and are now "hungu up" in the House, because
they we're too rank for Representative Cannon
chairman of the House committee ON Ap.
propriations. To say that thing is too bad
to meet the approval of Mr.. Cannon is to
furnish very strong argument against it.

Considering the modern ideal of bravery il
would be meet and proper to erect a statue
on the east end of Gerty's island in COM
memoration of the villain Simon Gerty. The
Maumee is often spoken Of as the "Histori-
cal Maumee," but fail TO find anything in
history emitting it to that distinction save
that this white Indian crossed the ice hun
dred or so years ago and showed a shot gun
through an air hole above this island while
stopping to get drink of water, tiiete being
no Indian agents at that time fU supply
something stronger. Gerty's island has ever
since been held in veneration by sentimental
people, who travel miles to gaze upon the SO
acres comprising the tract and possibly re-
cite verse or two of original poetry pre-
pared especially for the occasion. Looking
over this mans checked career find that he
was one of the most intrel id cut -throats ever
known. His chief delight was to cut mans
wind pipe and with heinous glee listen to the
death rattle as music from the babbling
brook. At the zenith of his power he leaned
against tree and looked upon a realistic
drama wherein old squaws and young braves
were roasting Capt. Crawford. The Captain
was tied TO a pole with ten feet of rope while
q roaring fire of faagots played all round
him. The scar and yellow leaf and young
redskins busted themselves by shooting
powder and burning arrows into the unhappy
officer. For hours and hours this was con-
tinued until even the hardihood of the Cap
tain could withstand it no longer and be
tainted. There was cessation of pleasan-
tries when an old hag 200 years old, or less,
approached with shovelfull of Goals and
emptied them on the captains face. This
mild restorative had its effect and the martyr
arose and slowly resumed his walk to death,
which came in an hour. For Gods sake
shoot me. Gerty," oft shrieked the tortured
man, to which the wretch responded with a
taught and then went to his dinner.
| Gerty died a natural death but his latter
years were far from pleasant ones. Like
Aaron Burr, he passed away in privation and
want-a decrepit old man with one eye gaugeJ
out, his body full of lead and hated BY all.

OF the purple grape and the golden rod,
OF the naples flaming crimson leaves
Ard the fields where the corns brown tassels
l am tired of the sunny summer days.
SO full of blossom and bird and song,
And welcome the shadows cool and still.
OF the autumn ewes SO chilly and long.
The earth has been furrowed with new-made
graves
Since the robins bulded eneath the caves
And the paths that our feet in the May time tr0d
Are drifted over with faded leaves.
And the sweet old songs that we used to sing
In the days when love was fond and new,
Go echoing sadly thro' the heart,
A beautiful dream of all things true.
Sing me a song OF the signing wind
A requiem over the buriei past;
Summer is gone, with her blossoms sweet,
And my dream was too beautiful to last.
