WHEN ONE GROWS BALD.

As age creeps upon us we try to stay young
And frisky as long as we can
And show to the world both by action and
tongue
We yet are mighty good man.
We laugh a. gray hairs as no token Of age.
But look in the mirror appalled,
As we find we are facing that worrying
stage
When fellow begins TO get bald.
1t fastens look Of deep care in the eyes,
II anchors dread in the soul,
For here is a feature we cannot disguise,
A skating rink up on the poll.
The fiend Of anxiety tortures the brain,
Our taste for enjoyment is palled,
Our pleasure is tinged with color Of pain
When fellow begins to get bald.
We blow In our money for sonics and
creams,
We try all the lotions In sight,
But ev'ry preventive we plaster on seems
To hasten the hair in its flight.
We wear out our shoes on the specialists
stairs,
Experts into council are called,
But every day adds to the burden Of cares
When fellow begins to get bald.
We sit away back at the naughty display
OF tights at the high kicking show
Through fear that our friends may inhu-
manly say
We've hit the old baldheaded row;
At night our once pleasant, deleciable
dreams
By visions Of wigs are enthralled
When waking. the brain with keen misery
teens
When fellow begins to get bald.
Whenever we meet lady friends on the
street
We blush while uplifting our hat,
And, though they may smile us a greeting
most sweet,
We know they have got us down pat.
We seem to care little when TO our reward
In the realms OF the blest we are called,
For half Of the pleasure of living seems
floored
When fellow begins to get bald.

Argument in Poetry.

Anderson, Ind, Nov. 24.-The attor.
ney for the defendent in a case in the
Circuit court served notice that he
would present his argument in poetry.
The attorneys for the plaintiff pro-
tested and the court rose in dignity
and said that he would not admit
poetical arguments.
The matter led to an argument about
the right to employ poetry in law, and
the poetical attorney was obdurate.
The court refused to let the case pro-
ceed on that basis, and it was post.
poned until January I'd.
The attorneys for the defense insist
that they will present and argue their
case in rhyme, and there seems to be
no way to hold them off.

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
some Think 80 Changed the Course
Of Politics tn this Country.

II is said that single glass OF wine
probably wrecked the Democratic
marty in 1860. The story is worth tell
ing. After the breaking up Of the ma
tional Democratic convention at Char
lesion, the party in Georgia held a
State convention. Great excitement
preyailed. The leaders OF the party
could not agree. 1t was a critical
period.
The majority report indorsed the
secedeTs or boilers at Charleston.
while the minority report opposed
their action. The leading champion
Of the minority was Herschel V. john
son, and his followers we're confident
that his eloquence and logic would
carry the day.
IL is quite likely that such would
have beenithe case but for an unfor-
tunate mishap. Ex-Governor John
son began his speech before the noon
adjournment on the second day and
concluded after dinner. Old men who
remember that speech say that it was
a powerful argument, and the impress
sion gained ground that after the noon
recess the speaker would demolish his
opponents with few sledge-hammer
blows.
But the over-confident friends OF the
minority report were doomed to disap-
pointment. Johnson felt the strain OF
the morning session 80 much that he
was unable to eat anything, and he
took a glass of wine upon an empty
stomach to strengthen himself. This
was fatal mistake. The one glass OF
wine perhaps changed the destiny Of
the Nation
The great orator resumed his speech,
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hazy, verbose and unintelligible
at times. His style and argument
lacked yigor, consistency and positive
ness. His friends looked at one an
other in despair. The men on the
other side were exultant. 1t was evil
dent that the speaker had damaged
his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry r.
Jackson followed each other for the
majority report. They spoke with an
air OF expectant triumph and captured
the convention. The majority report
was adopted. 1t is unnecessary to fol
low the history of the next few weeks.
The national Democracy was com
pletely disrupted and put two tickets
in the field. Lincoln was elected and
the country was plunged into a civil
war. Had Johnson succeeded in in
ducing the Georgia convention to adopt
his conservative ideas, is is safe to say
that the other southern States would
have fallen into line with our com mon-
wealth, and the national Democratic
party would have remained united.
This is the story of what q little glass
Of wine did. 1t ruined great party,
caused disastrous war, and besides the
loss Of life, cost the South over $4 ,00O,-
100000. Perhaps this is rather s1ecu
iative, but there are many who believed.

proved plan of relieving billiousness and

agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
finds general recognition. This excellent
family medicine is a safeguard against
