Our Unclaimed Poet.

The warm weather of the last week
has had the effect of bringing out the
poetic warbles on the Spring poet.
Several contributions have reached
US. Among others the following,
which We have numerically reduced
to the ranks of prose, so as not to be
too entirely overcoming.

Bro. PrRsELL. of the Lancaster
Gazette, comes from Lancaster every
night TO sleep in Logan. He is not
afraid of ghosts, not especially shy
of a grave yard, but Silenceis strange
to his being, and sleep comes to him
only when born on the wings of IA
miliar noise. The cemetery of Lal.-
caster, on sunny days is endurablc,
but it is an nncanny place to sleep
in. His ear has so long been attuned
to the pulsating eat of bushes :on,:our
streets by day; and on talking terms
with voices of the iron horses who
quiver our Valley through the night,
slumber comes to his couch only
on tie wagon ola noisy, ,livivg world.
Hence to get sleep at night, SO that
he can keep awake in Lancaster
through the day, he comes to. Logan
and goes to bed with the sun. May
his sleep he restful and healthful and
give him strength for the ordeal of
wakefulness during the day in Ian
caster.

THE near approach of the Spring
election makes the following advice
by the Oil City Blizzard very timel, ::
Don't lie to candidates; tell them
the truth. When a man asks for
your support, tell him the truth
about it. Then whether elected or
defeated lie will give you credit for
being a candid man, and is bound to
respect you, even if he does not 1--we
you. Many candidate is led to
spend a good deal of money and ell
ergy that he might be spared if peo
pie were frank and candid. When a
mans hopes are buoyed up by the
false promises he naturally falls hard
when defeated, and comes to the
conclusion that all men are liars.
Every man has the right to vote as
he pleases, aud no sensible man can
find fault with him for it.

What John P. Thinks.

a PARODY.
by Truthful Joe.
The "Harris" Bill is sensible plan
To keep men at home lOokin after
their folks,
1t suits all the righteous,just to man,
And hurts nobody but few old
soaks,
So John p.
Rochester he
Sez he'll vote for the Harris B.
So pile up petitions and send them in
quick,
To show that we stand by our man,
and all that
Send in their votes as hard as brick,
70 knock the saloons and soakers all
fat,
For John P.
Rochester he
OF course will support the Harris B.
NV! aint it awful? What shall we do?
We must talk to our man of course
that's fiat,
The chances for passage seems to be
blue,
Unless we can force him to stand up
pat,
For John +.
Rochester, he
They say wont vote for the Harris B.
We've seen him and told him AS plain
as we could,
OF things we have known since the
day of our birth
Ho the rum shop was parent, to the
whole brood
OF evil and sin that affiicts the whole
earth,
But John P.
Rochester, he
Sez that all that's an exploded idse.
Our State must have money as all
can well see,
An 50 the smart thing for law makers
to do
Is to let the old Harris bill go to the D
An take mighty good care Of the
States revenue,
And John P.
Rochester, he,
Sez THIS is his view of the things to 7.
We are getting ou nicely down here
in our section,
With old fashioned idees of what's
right and what aint,
We kind o thought piety won the
election
An that DoDGIN A DUTY warnt i
mark of saint
But John p.
Rochester, he
Sez were all numskulls, down here,
he can see.
Well its mercy we've got him to tell
The rights and wrongs of these mat
ters VOW,
God sends country peddlers and
other wise fellers,
To drive the States team when it
gets in slough,
And John P.
Rochester, he
Thinks the world will go right if he
hollers out gee!

CoLUMBus, o. FEB. 8, 1896.
EDITOR HOOKING SENTINEL;
My dear Sir: | observe that in
the columns of your paper you un-
Justly and uncharitbly accuse "Lit,le
Phil, ''as you call me, in dodging the
vote on the temperance Local Option
Bill when 1t was before the house.
Any one that is acquainted with me,
knows full well that | have the cour-
age of my convictions, and nothing
can sway me from those CONVICTIONS
unless convinced that / am wrong.
The day that said Bill was before the
House, OH account of the serious i'll
ness of my father, came home at
his request. waited until the last
train out; but few members knew the
question woull be reached that night
as certain program was to be car
ried out upon the debate pro and
con, this was changed and arranged
between q few, without the knowl-
edge of the majority of the members.
No one but those making this change
knew the vote would be called that
evening as it WAS then b o'clock.
took the last train out at 6:l0.
Respectfully,
J, p. ROCHESTER.
Mr.. Rochester's explanation of his
not voting on the Harris Bill Is fair,
candid and should lie satisfactory.
When the result Gf tie vote was
published, Mr.. Rochester was report
ed in the Columbus papers as one
mot voting.
When a member is ':not votinr,
it is always under TODD that he is alb
sent Oh leave, Is sick, or dodges the
vote. Mr.. Rochester was not report
ed sick, or absent on leave. hence the
conclusion that he "Jodycd' the
vote.
Nr. Rochester has good and sufii-
cient reasons to lie absent. Ills ia her
has 'ong been an Invalid. is danger
ouslv ILL, and the paramount duty of
his son is to be at his leaside. That
he was at home caring for his father
is excuse sufficient to all fair minded
men for his not being i'll the House
and voting on the Harms Bill.
