Next Door,

Next door white roses grow
 Masses and pillows and clouds And starry jassamine trailers blow, And marigolds bloom and zinnias glow
 In dazzling clumps and crowds; know the lilies grow trim and tall, And know whose white hands tend them all Next door hear a song,
 Cheery and blithe and sweet Whose cadence rises steady and strong And the afternoons are sunny and long,
 But the moonlit eyes are feet And the roses toss like a scented sea About my friend next door and me. Next door, some happy day,
 Of beauty and bloom and light, Somebody will give a bride away, Sweet as the summer and fair as the May
 bonny young bride in white, And then, ah. then, shall care no more How the roses blossom rade next door.

A SINGULAR INCIDENT.
A Horse Slides Through q Hole
In q Bridge and Sits
Down in a Wagon.

One of the most singular and ludi
crous incidents which has been record
ed as occurring in Sedalia, happened
this morning at the lot which is being
excavated for the new Cassidy bull l.
ing, corner Ohio and Fifth streets.
About the center Of the lot q tenn.
porsry bridge is built and upon
this, scrspers loaded With dirt are
driven and this is emptied
through large hole cut in the bridge
into wagons which are driven under
meath.
As team was driven upon tie
bridge this morning the hind leg of
one Of the horses slipped through this
hole and quicker than can be told the
whole animal had disappeared he
meath into the bed Of the wagon in
waiting for the:dirt. The horse, when
he struck the wagon, did not kick and
founder about, but. probably sur
prised at his predicament, quietly
accepted the situation and remained
seated on his launches. The sight
was said to be exceedingly ludicrous
and the wOrkmen and bystanders
laughed loud and heartily.
The harness was removed from the
horse, the wagon holding him was
driven from under the bridge, he was
1eposed from his resting place, har-
messed and again set to work.
