The Medder-Lark.

See the yaller-throated cherub.
Flittin free as feathery foam,
From the tallest, rankest grasses,
From his flowery, bowery home;
See him pick the tallest fence-post.
Hear that melody of June
That's the medder-lark a-singin',
And his soul is in his tune.
See him give his wings flicker,
See him fiirt his tail an nod;
Now he's listenin' an lookiu'
To'ards the regions of his God.
Thar's another bird a-comin,
Hear him twitter out his lice
That's the medder-lark a-sparkin',
An his sweetheart is his wife.
He's not edzackly purity,
An his clos is kinder tame;
He don't make much pertensions,
But he gets thar Jist the same.
Tho he sings, an fits an twitters
Till he's fairly in distress,
You kin see his body's Dustin
With the things he can't express.
The medder-lark's an orator,
Without touch of art;
The medder-lark's Il poet, an
He's got his lines by heart;
The medder-lark's prophet,
With a message to transmit
He's songster an psalmist,
An his music can't be writ.
He's an angel dressed in feathers,
He's an animated kiss.
If l could have one hope fulfilled,
Ny idee would be this:
Don't give us fame nor riches
Don't give us anything
But list some friends an medder-larks
An never-endin' spring.

The specific charge was that Drake had
sold Walanski watch for fll which he
said had solid gold cases. WalRnski had
test made and found the cases washed
OF plated and then brought suit
William 7. Lyman represented Drake,
and number OF local jewelers. were sx
amiued as witnesses. There was a great
difference OF opinion between them as Ia
what was solid gold. Charles Nj Banks
said that there was an understanding n
among the jewelers. that anything lesl
than 10 carsts WAS not solid gold. He
had examined the watch and pronounced
It cheap set OF works with plated oil

with, AZ did Bernard Klei z
On the other hand. A. G. S Williamson
thought solid gold WAS any composition
where gold was mixed so that II held tbs

tested the watch and decided that it wa,
plated with q carat gold Frank Thomp
son held the same opinion. Mr.. Drakl
said he told the purchaser that the cAssi
we're solid gold and that they we're, foui
