Alas, and did McKinleyism,
And did protection greed
Defeat poor Bonnie Harrison,
And also Whitelaw Reid.
CHoRUs;
The last trials over, then,
How happy We shall reign,
We've whipped poor little Benjamin,
Aud put Grover back again.
Was it for crimes the party did,
That Harrison must go:
And Cleve and Steve the country rid
OF an unrelenting foe.
Chorus
Where is the grand old party now,
And Tom Reeds tyrant will.
Ruling with imperial power
To pass "A Lodge force bill.
Chorus
Thus did the people in their might,
Declare their sovereign will;
Put all the tariff lords to flight.
And all the Lodge force bills.
Chorus.
Yes. Grover, you are back again.
The people all now rest;
They've learned that in your former reigl
Your policy was the best.
Chorus
The last trials over, then
How happy we shall reign,
We've whipped poor little Benjamin,
And put Grover back again.

Welded at Last in a Cotton Patch.


About a year ago c. w. Strickland, a
young farmer, living about six miles
southwest of Paris, fell in love with Miss
Ida Porter, a charming young lady of the
same neighborhood. The lady's relatives
objected. but the young folks resolved to
elope. Mr.. Strickland got license, but
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before chance came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw it
and sent her away to Missouri.
A few weeks ago she came back. Her
relatives thought the affair was ended,
but the young folks still loved each other.
There were some private negotiations of
which her relatives did not know An
other license was procured, but the fact
was not published in the papers The
same minister was engaged again. Miss
Ida Porter, who did not usually pick cot
ton, suddenly became very industriously
inclined, and concluded to help pick ont
the crop. She went into the field and
began work. Pretty soon her big brother,
not suspecting anything, went to the gin
with a load of cotton, and about the
time he was gone Air. Strickland and the
preacher came along, and right in the cot
ton patch the ceremony was performed
that made the blushing maiden and the
gallant lover man and dwife.-Galvestor

About neesixinr Gina.

From the receivers standpoint all gifts
may be divided into things that we want
and things that we don't want. It takes
no particular skill or grace to receive
things that we want, but as, in times of
general giving, like Christmas, the larger
part of the gifts we get are things that
we don't want, that branch of receiver
shipsis worth attention. The two ordi-
nary reasons for not wanting things are
the vulgar one that they do not strike rs
as intrinsically desirable, and the more
complex reason that we don't want to re-
ceive them from the particular giver. A
general remedy applicable to reluctances
due to either of these causes is to keep
strenuously in the mind the happiness of
the giver In giving.
Remembering that, you are delighted
with trif1e from some one you love, be-
cause it makes you happy to have been
even passively instrumental in procuring
him the happiness Of giving; applying the
same principle, You can accept ever SO
costly "a gift from some one for whom
yon care little without any irksome sense
of obligation, since of course the giver
had the best of it any way, and it is a
great deal kinder and more generous to
sacrifice ones personal inclinations and
accept, than to refuse. Remember per-
sistently that by receiving with due grace
-you secure to another person desirable
form of happiness. ss.-Scribner's.

Conee In the East.

How long coffee was in use among
eastern nations before being introduced
into Europe is not known. Aljeziri al
hambali, noted Arabic author, states
that it was first made known about $40
Of the .Hegira, and so quickly did coffee
houses and booths multiply throughout
Arabia that the government several
times made strenuous attempts to sup
press them, fearing they would lead the
people into idleness.
Notwithstanding these efforts, the .cof-
fee habit took such a firm hold on the
people that the beverage was made and
drank in secret. They even went long
distances into the desert and there pre-
pared the seductive concoction without
fear of molestation.
Some pious Mohammedans thought it
might be included among the intoxi-
eating beverages forbidden by the Koran,
but Alhambali, in an able pamphlet en-
titled The Support of Innocence"
proved that it was not in the prohibitory
section of that book. As consequence
the followers of the prophet once more
returned to the delights of coffee.-De-

His attentions ,1isund.rstood.

There is a certain small boy living in
the vicinity of the armory who has con-
cluded that the finding of pocketbook
is a misfortune. He picked up one the
other day on the street containing about
ten dollars. Being on his way to the
bakers he generously paid "a score of
$1.25 that was chung up" there against
the family, and then meandered down
town to invest another dollar in a Buf-
falo Bill gun and ammunition. But
when he reached home maternal per-
suasion SO quickened his conscience that
he again started out in sorrowful quest
for the owner of the money, who was
soon discovered
And it is further alleged that this
owner would not abate anything from
the. full anoCnt lost and that the man
who sold the little fellow the gun refused
to take it back after all the circum-
stances had been explained, SO that even
to this day the mention of that pocket
book causes a shadow to creep over the
countenance of that boy.-Springfeld
