THE CITY
FAINT AND FAR OFF.

There's faint and far off rumor in the cir
cumambient air,
There's a gentle percolation of it almost
everywhere,
And the hiking maids and matrons, all, are
cautioned to beware.
The clear artistic eyes of those accustomed
to decide
What must or must not by the crowd, be
pointed at with pride,
Have lately turned their critic gaze upon the
fair who ride.
They have measured lines of beauty by the
rigid rules of art.
AS lines are never measured that are mea
sured by the heart,
And the news of their decision they have
fastened to impart.
Not by the wild. imprisoned. clarion notes
of bugle calls,
Nor by the permeating spread of book and
paper stalls,
But softly and insidieusly as night at even
falls
They have murmured it in whispers; they
have turned it ont to Craze
In every field and valley where the wind OF
gossip plays,
And have slyly kept it spreading in thou
sand different ways;
Until to-day the millions who must follow as
they're led,
Who are nothing more than body to great
directing head,
Are telling and believing everything that
has been said.
Oh, hiking maids and matrors, do you know
the danger near:
Have you closed your ears to rumor? Do
you still refuse to hear
And heed the warning given, that may fiji
your souls with fear?
They say and seem to prove It, that the long,
continued stress
Of muscles used in pedaling have made them
grow no less,
And that the erstwhile graceful curves have
lost their shapeliness
They say that once where graceful lines
curved gently to the feet
Missh apen knobs of muscle have destroyed
the trim and neat.
And soon the beautiful will be ruin quite
complete. .. .
Oh, hiking maids and matrons pause. Oh,
woman. born to show
How fair figure could be made to grace this
world below
Say, won't you please get OF and walk and
let the old wheel go
To thunder:

At the time of the storm his barley

were in shock but his wheat, consist

bushels to the acre, was entirely de-

of wheat pounded into the ground
and Charles Roller, another neighbor,
had about the same amount. The

stones drove it into tho ground SO we'll

day evening Rev. John Sinclair took
for his subject AThose that have
turned the world upside down" The
subject was suggested to him 10y Rev.
Hanscom. Mr.. Sinclair said that some
people thought that the world was
worse than it was fifty years ago. He
did not believe it. He then traced
the amount of crime from the time
when there were only four people in
the world. The killing of Abel by his
brother was the first murder, and
there were only four people in the
world at that time and one-fourth of
the population was killed the first
day. At the time of Noah only eight
people were in the world and one.
eighth of the population were drunk
at that time. Sin was the means of
turning the world upside down, and
until sin is out of the world the world
will be upside down. Men must be
elected to Offices who are religious
men. Christianity he thought was
keeping pace with the times and that
the Christian Endeavor society was
one of the greatest powers in turning
the world back to it's normal condition
Mr.. Sinclair thought that if the Chris
tian Endeavor society lived Is years
longer that it would be the means of
driving intemperance from the land.

near the residence of Geo. A. Alden on

the street. when suddenly his horse fell
headlong in the road. He got off the cart
and helped the animal to his feet and was
about to start on when the horse again
fell. This time Mr.. Holloway discovered
a small wire lying on the ground close to
the horse and running over the trolley
wire of the Electric Railroad. He found a
long stick and pulled the wire away from
the horse, which after time got up and
was ready to move on. 1t was exceedingly
fortunate for Mr.. Holloway that he him
self did not come in contact with the wire
while he was around the horse the first
time it fell.
