The Centerville Sparkling debating
society had an interesting meeting
last Saturday night. It was decided
that water was more destructive than
fire. The most important part was the
poem composed by the editor of the
Centerville Echo, and is as follows:
THE BACHLOR'S COMPLAINT.

But lover of Ladies

Now don't think it strange,
When tell you the truth,

In the bloom of my youth.
When I was lad,
was handsome and gay,
And went out walking
With girl every day.
But some how it happened,
When'ere I'd propose
Every girl in the village
Would turn up her nose.

In my twenty-fifth year
To a handsome young maiden
And to me very dear.
But had rival
Who stepped in the way,
And the first thing 1 knew
They had both run away.

But found it wouldn't do,
So l became jolly tar
And joined happy crew.
For years sailed the briny deep.
When hardships there abound,
Until l brought up on what's called
The head of Puget Sound.
Now, Lopez island is my home
And single yet am I,
And I'm afraid I always will
Be single till die.
And now a word to the Ladies
Before I close tonight,
Ifyou want to wed just call upon
/. His Honor, Judge John Knight.

Went Out to His buggy.

A good joke is told of one of the Gtaff Of
the Ohio Medical College. In a lecture to
the students he advised them that when
they came to practice to always carry in
their buggies a standard text book, which
they could consult when in doubt as to the
proper course of treatment. He said that
they couit; excuse themselves from a patient
on the preteXt thai they wished to see if
their horse was standing or that they had
left some particular me'iiclnG III the buggy.
TIE students were very attentive. A few
days late" re of them .puiI no; answer
some pretty tough questions and when the
doctor IMPRESSED Surp Use he grabbed q text
book and said in measured tone: Excl Sc
me, doctor, fear my horse is not standing
hitched him in hurry to get by your side
He then retreated to the hallway. found the
answers to the hardest questions and re-
turning answered them all correctly. The
doctor appreciated the situation and was re-
lieved when the students ruse did not be-
come contagious.

POLO AT FORT MYER,
Although the Season is Over Play is
Kept Up.

hcpt Up.
Although the regular polo season is prac-
tically over until spring, the little bass
wood ball continues to roll up and down
the field at Fort Myer, and the little, sure
footed quadrupeds fly in pursuit with the
same interest as in games.
The team is composed of Lieut. Short
who plays back; Lieut.. White, No 1; Lieut.
Hyer, No 2. and Lieut.. Rhodes, No. 3, with
Lieut.. Stout as substitute. Lieut. Shorts
mount is little bay, up to the standard
and game. The rest of the team are equally
well mounted. Lieut.. Stouts recent pur-
chase is toppy- looking gray, very speedy
and splendid weight carrier.
MIR. Porter, although member of the
Chevy Chase team, usually practices with
the army. He is generally mounted on his
little gray, Trilby.
Lieut.. Short introduced the game at Fort
Myer, and at the beginning had team
composed of enlisted men and troop horses
The men did finely, but the horses, while
speedy, could not twist and turn with the
little bob-taied cats.
The team has greatly improved. While
not as expert as a few teams, it has put up
a very fair game. seasons play does not
make one an expert with the mallet, At
present the garrison can turn out five good
men, well mounted, and with Mr. D. D.
Porter and Mr.. Broome, both enthusiasts,
they constitute two full teams, with the ex-
ception of one man.
The team, although composed of good in
dividual players. has not played enough
games to acquire the necessary amount of
team work, which will of course, come with
experience The practice grounds are the
best in this vicinity.
Some Of the games with the Chevy Chase
Club men have been quite fast, most of the
players showing rather good form, but as
the sides have been mixed, individual work
again prevailed on both teams, and the
little white ball seemed to be tho only point
in the game. However, crack polo teams
do not spring up in a single night, but with
Lieut.. Shorts enthusiasm and energy the
military team will develop into one of the
best in the country.

Mrs. Yerger-'That's a very handsome

door and makes a great deal of noise,

not make much noise, is very pleasant in
his talk and says 'good-evening.' then I
know that 1t is late. If he takes off his

The. Court Couldn't Decide.

From the St. Louis Gobc-Democrat.
Judge Buck Of the superior court at Spo-
kane has for three days past been hearing
arguments in the case of the state against
John w. Considine, proprietor of a variety
theater, who ia charged with the crime Of
having violated a new state law called the
''barmaid .act,"s which prohibits females
from being employed in, any place where
liquor is sold, and which was being attacked
as to its constitutionaiity. The lawyers had
all assembled in court this morning to re-
sumo arguments, when Judge Buck arose
and said:
Gentlemen. I learned for the first time
last night that my wife was the author Of
that bill, and that being the case, i will de-
cline to pass upon the question of its con-
stitutionality."
The arguments will not have to be gone
over again before one of the other judges.
