Wouldn't Do.
She could siLg and she could play,
She could dance from night till day
She could while the hours away,
So It's said;
She could skate and she could paint,
She could play the patron saint,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make bed.
She could walk eight miles day,
And play tennis charmingly,
Flirting in saucy way,
Little scamp;
She could drive and play baseball,
She could make stylish call,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Clean lamp.
She could quote Tolstoi and Burns;
French and German learned by turns;
Slangy words she quickly learns
BY the score;
She could act and she could box,
She could bleach her jetty locks,
Rut She couldn't and she wouldn't
Sweep the floor
She could swim and she could row,
She could always nave d pe'u'
And I'm sure that We all know
She was shy;
She could laugh and she could prance'
She could play game Of chance
But she couldn't and she wouidh
Make pie.
She could etch and write book,
She could vanquish with LOOK,
She could win by hook or crook,
confess;
She coald scold and she could houI
She could cry and she could pout,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make dress.
She could talk of church affairs,
But knew naught of household cares;
Still Pm sure that none compares
With sweet Nan;
Even if she couldn't bake
Bread and pies and angel cake,
She enraptured and she captured
A rich man.

A FORGED TELEGRAM

To Gov Buchanan Causes . Big Misun-
dorstanding ing-Oonvicts Will be Worked
at All Hazards by the Lossoes.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 22.-While
miners had control Of the Knoxville &
Ohio telegraph line it was worked for
all there was in it. Rank forgeries
were committed hourly and much con-
fusion in press dispatches from that
section were due 10 their censorship.
The most serious forgery committed
was that Of a message sent Gov. Bu-
chanan purporting to be signed by the
Knoxville Iron Company and giving
twenty days notice Of abrogation Of
the lease of convicts. Acting on what
he believed TO be an authoritative state
ment the governor entered into cor
respondence with the Tennessee Coal
g. Iron Company and Knoxville Iron
Company, which has resulted In racy
war Of words.
Otis A. Brown, secretary Of the Knox
Vile Iron Company, says his company
mas never for moment considered the
idea OF giving up the lease and they
propose TO work convicts as long as the
state authorities stand by then. They
have explained the matter TO the gov
ernor and made known their intention
of working convicts at all hazards.

OBITUARY.

Edwin L. Sawtelle was born in yelling
ton, Ohio, July 80, 1870. He was educated
in the Wellington schools, and though he
was Of delicate health from childhood, and
his studies therefore frequently interrupt
ed, he always stood well in his classes.
He early developed a taste for literature,
and his ambition was to become success
full journalist. After leaving the Yelling
schools he took a short course Of study at
Oberlin college, preparatory to newspaper
work, At the age of nineteen he secured
position on the staff of the Cleveland
Leader, where he remained until failing
health compelled him to retire. While
connected with the Leader young Saw
telle achieved decided success for so
young wliter, being frequently entrusted
with important work, and always perform
ing it with such ability and thoroughness
as to gain the warm approval Of his chief.
In February last, by the advice OF his
physician, and accompanied by his mother,
he went to southern California, hoping to
escape consumption, which threatened
him. Finding the climate of California
less helpful to him than had been antici.
pated, he went to Arizona, where he re-
mained until May. While in the South
west he was under the care of the most
skillful physicians there, but neither the
best medical care, the tenderest nursing,
nor the most favorable climate could ar
rest the progress of the dread disease.
Since his return his decline has been
rapid. His sutferings throughout his ILL
ness was great, but they were borne with.
out complaint, and those of his last days
were sweetened by the unremitting care of
his parents at hcme. He died at halfpas
one o'clock Monday morning, August %
1899. His funeral was held at three
o'clock this afternoon.
