SONG OF THE CALICO SHIRT
Have you seen 1.-THE latest in gentlemen

Have you seen 1.-THE latest In gentlemen,s
wear
The pride Of the youth of our town?
How faint seems the once noisy band in its
blare,
When he marches the avenue down!
With wild fascination pedestrians gaze,
Each straining his eyes till they hurt,
At the phantasies strange which so boldly
amaze
On Reginald's calico shirt.
Sing not of the flowers that blossom in
June!
Sing not of the radiant sky!
Their glories must pale like the glow of the
moon
When the sun comes at morning on high.
The CLEAN of the mist where the rainbows
ascend
Seems coorless. cold and inert
Compared to the hues which bedazzle and
blend
In Reginald's calico shirt.
On his broad. manly chest. with a luster
serene
1t reposes. grotesquely sublime.
Its wild convolutions depicting scene
Where poster-forms grovel and climb.
And a contrast is made by the collar Of
white
Round his neck so expansively GRIT
Your life is blank if you've not had q
sight
OF Reginald's calico shirt.

Treatment of Catarrrh
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1897-11-30

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service OF
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn a locomotive.
and while they are doing so their reg
ular work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table In
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter Of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and 1t cost on an average OF less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand 1t cost II cents for
each engine. The yearly saving Is
about $709.
