A Transformation.

He has ceased to call her Darling.
She has ceased to call him Dear;
He has ceased composing sonnets
To her little shell-like ear:
She has ceased to hurry madly
To the mirror. when he calls;
He has ceased to buy her candy
And Ice cream and popcorn bans
This n not because these lovers
Have been mixed up In a row;
No. the simple truth Is that they
Are q married couple now.

A Very Popular Calendar.


Few people in these busy days are will
ing to live without a calendar to mark
the passing of time. This fact, no doubt
accounts for tho calendars of all kinds,
colors, shapes and sizes which flood the
mails at this season. Among them all
the one that Jest suits us is that issued

for 1897. 1t is not difficult to see why
this calendar is SO great a favorite. The
figures on it are large enough. to be read
across room; it's handsome appearance
makes 1t worthy of a place in the best
furnished office or library, while it is
business like all the way through. The
pu blisners state that the demand for this
calendar has always exceeded the supply.
This led them years ago to place upon it
a nominal price-25 cents, on receipt of
which it Is sent, postpaid and securely

BOWLING TOURNAMENT.
orients Beat the Columbias by Fifty
Pins.

The first game for the week In the
bowling tournament at Pines alleys was
played last evening between the Orients
and Camp Columbus. The Columbus
encouraged by their victory of Friday
evening were prepared to play in earnest.
The irst string, however, the Orients
seemed to have things their way, and at
the close of the string led their oppo-
nents by 40 pins.
On the secocd string the interest and
the excitement was intense. The
Colulnbias had renewed their courage
and were playing better game. The
string finished amid the greatest enthu-
siasn,, the Orients being the winners by
the small margin OF three pins. On the
third string both teams played hard for
the supremacy and some OF the best
bowling Of the evening was witnessed on
this string. The fight was interesting
and the Orients captured the string by
two pins, and winning the game by Sc
pins.
Had the Columbus played the game on
the first string that they did on the
second and third ones, doubtless their
prospects would have been good for
winning the game. The following are the
sooses of the teams.
