Once In Three Years

Two travelling men were seated in one
of the leading hotels a few days ago, when
a third entered in an unassuming manner
and approached the clerks desk. As he
did so, one of the two said to the other:
"Now, there is man who has soft
thing, if ever a man had it on EARTH"
"Why, what does he do ?"
"He's travelling man; runs for one of
the biggest concerns in the country; gets
a good salary and / give you my word he's
only taken one order in three years"
ooh, come off, now, that's too thin"
"Fact, though, / assure you. He has, as
say, taken but one order in three years"
"Why, man, it can't be so. There isn't
a house on earth that would stand it FIVE
minutes. Who does he travel for anyway?
I'll hit them for job myself"
He travels for a suspension bridge COM
pany."
An immediate adjournment was taken
to the bar, where mutual sorrow and
laughter were drowned in familiar and
soothing beverage. Cincinnati Commercial

When Villiers, James rs and Charles

in 1925 he had no fewer than seven-and-
twenty suits of clothes made, the richest
that embroidery, lace, silk, velvet, gold
and gems could contribute, one of which
was white uncut velvet, "set all over,
both suit and cloak, with diamonds valued
at four-score thousand pounds, besides a
great feather, stuck all over with dia-
monds." ut was common with him." says
contemporary, sat an ordinary dancing
to have his clothes trimmed with great
diamond buttons, and to have diamond
hatbands, cockades and earrings; to be
yoked with great and manifold ropes and
knots of pearl; in short, to be manacled
fettered, and imprisoned in Jewels"
To the prevailing extravaganza in dress
the satirists again allude in the severest
terms. II have much wondered" says
Henry Peacham, "why our English, above
other nations, should SO much dote upon

HER PRETTY SISTER

Propitious smiled on us the Fates-
And oft fondly kissed her;
And naught disturbed our teteo-tetes
Except-her pretty sister.
But now she never can be mine;
Too late did discover.
This maid must for aye resign
Unto a rival lover.
But strange to say, though years have passed,
have not sadly missed her;
For am married now at last,
And to-her pretty sister.

A potato went out on mash,
And sought an onion bed:
''That's pie for me- observed the squash,
And all the beets turned red;
"Go away" the onion weeping cried
''Your love L cannot be
The pumpkin be your lawful bride,
You cantaloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And laid down at her feet;
You caulifiower by any name
Aud it will smell as wheat;
And |, too, am an early rose,
And you I've come to see,
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinach at with me.''
81 do not carrot all to wed,
So go, sir, if you please"
The modest onion meekly said:
And lettuce pray have peas;
So think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh;
Too long maiden have been
For favors in your rye"
All, spare me cress," the tuber prayed
My cherry-ished bride you'll be:
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me''
And as the willy tuber spoke,
He grasped the bashful prize,
And giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

dorsed Speaker Reeds arbitrary course

Mr.. Bradford followed Mr.. Ward. and
his speech was devoted almost wholly TO
state and county issues. He said
This is not a national campaign. 1t is
q campaign upon state issues. All the
officers to be elected, with one exception,
are state officers The people of this
state are interested in constitutional re-
form, and In an honest aud economical
