WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

otis pleasant sure, to see ones name in
print;
A books a book, although there's nothing in
it."
When Lord Byron wrote the above
he must have been in pretty much
the same fix as G. A. Leigh was in
after the American turned him over
so hard for writing "a Hermit's
Tale and Other Poems" Never.
theless, George says so long as the
sun plows his path through the heav-
ems, and he has permission TO look
at him, so long will he continue to
write poetry. This spirit is com
mendable in him and he should now
turn his guns on Ed. Carmack, of the
American. He could come at him
like this:
Still must hear? Shall hoaIse Ed. Carmack
write
His creaking couplets by incandescent light
And not sing, lest haply he should choose
To dub me scribblerand denounce my muse?
Prepare for blood-I'll fight thee, right or
wrong
Editors are my theme, let red hair be my
song.
Prepare for blood would scare
Carmack into giving him a column
in the American complimentary of
the book, and the cred hair" business
would tickle him. He loves red
hair; the fact Of the business is, he
dotes on it and writes eloquently
about it. Montgomery county's
Clerk and Master would take a dozen
copies and Ledgerwood, Davis and
Collins, the big three in the last Leg
stature, would be necessarily com.
PEELED to have copy each. There's
millions in it if it were properly ma
nipulated.

L.ai1n.

On Friday evening the operetta
"Lsils" was given by about half
hundred young ladies and girls. The
''plot" Is not deep one. Laila and
her friends are picnicking in the
woods. As they are about to dine
an old beggar woman with half q
dozen ragged children come along.
They were about to be driven away
when Lsila comes forward and be-
friends the homeless wanderers"
Her action IL contagious and the
beggars are overwhelmed with kind
ness. In the next act Laila IL lost

Q troop Of fairies come to her aid and

Laila was crowned queen and the
piece closed with . grand chorus
finale. Everything went off In good
order except that some Of the small

the last, but fairies are queer things
anyway. Miss Edith Sampson as

Parable nj the Ten yoters.

The salvation OF the country this
year Is like unto ten voters, five of

ish. And the wise were careful to
have their names enrolled i'm the
great books Of the city, but the fool
ish put the matter of, saying, at a
more convenient season will we pay
our respects to the city clerk. At 8 p.
m. there was great cry made. "be-
hold are the registration books
closed, and those whose names are
not therein contained are left; sadly
left, and cannot vote!" Then said
the foolish unto the wise, why did
ye not give US pointer before so we
might have been prepared for this
But the wise said, ye are full OF
prunes; go thy way, aud see that il
occur not again. Verify, verify, we
say unto you, be sure you are regis
tered by tomorrow night, IL you are
not registered your name will be
