SCATTER SUNSHINE.

SCATTER SUNSHINE.
In a world where sorrow
Ever will be known.
Where are found the mccoy
And the sad and lone; -.
How much Joy and comfort
II YOU scatter sunshine
Everywhere you so'
Slightest actions often
Meet the sorest needs,
For the world wants daily
Little kindly DEEDS
Oh what care and sorrow
You may help remove
With your songs anu oo"'"e"
sympathy and love
When the days are gloomy,
Sing some happy song;
Meet the worlds repinins
With a courage strong;
90 with faith undaunted
Through the Ills OF life
scatter smiles and sunshine
Ger its toll and strife.
CHORUS.
Scatter sunshine
All along your way,
Cheer and bless and brighten
Every passing Day

Thomas Simpson, alias Tim, the Dodg-

over the country, was in town the other
night, but he got away before any Of
Col. Deitsch's "dy coppers" got onto him.
He met several persons in a downtown
resort, and, after INDUCING in few
drinks, he became confidential in his
talk. Toms hints to househoiders were
quite interesting. Among those who lis
