SINCE THE TRoLLEYS COME TO
TOWN.

Ring out the loud hosannas and do the job ND
brown,
For at last we have a trolley a-running
through the town.
The farmers stop their haying and wonder at
the sight,
For the way the cars go scooting is q revela-
ton quite.
Their changing and their buzzing all other
noises drown,
For they make an awful racket a-running
through the town.
The old town doesn't seem the same. It's
mighty bright and gay,
And every one can celebrate its resurrection
day.
Twas buried many years ago, and buried good
and deep,
But now it has awakened from its Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep,
And every hour of the day the cars run up and
down,
And every one is tickled now the trolley's
come to town.
There's two new barns a-going up, excite
ment everywhere,
And mild form of paress seems to permeate
the air.
The benefits to be derived have surely taken
While real estate has risen to fifteen cents
foot
And all the wimmin folks have bought brand
new muslin gown,
Tor they'r bound to cut figure now the
trolley's come to town.

AN INDIAN CRADLE SOW,

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft,
Deep in The tioslzy wood!
Swing thee low and swing aloft-
Sleep as a papoose should,
For safe in your little birchen nest
Quiet will come md peace and rest,
If the little papoose is good.
The coyote bowls on the prairie cold,
And the owlet boots in the tree,
And the big moon shines ON the little child
AS il slu,nbers peacefully.
So swing thee high in thy little nest
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night wind brings to theel
Father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming of hunt and fight,
And the pine leaves rustic with mournful
sound
AL through the solemn night;
But the little papoose in his birchen nest
Is swinging low as he takes his rest,
Till the sun brings the morning light.
Southern Workman.

INTERSTATE SHOOTERS.

Prospects Good for a Big Tournament.
 Meriden, July 2l.-Every indication now Is that the Interstate Trap Shoot ing tournament which will take place under the auspices of the Parker Gun club next Wednesday and Thursday, will be one of the most successful ever held in the state. The Parker club is receiving daily notice that the great shooters, who are following the circuit this year, will be here, and, with fair weather, there should be some excellent work done. Among those who have already sent word that the are coming rain or shine are B. Leroy Woodward, Campello Mass; Captain D. B. Wads- worth, (Puck), Boston; 0. F. Dickey, Wellington, Mass, H. J. Mills, Bristol, and s. A. Tucker. These are not all the crack shots who will be here as many of them never send word they are coming, but simply turn up and enter on the day the shoot opens.
 There will be ten events each day, in which the paid representatives of companies are not allowed to take any money, although they can shoot in the events.
