AN IDYL OF THE GRIDIRON.

sight to dare
OF downs and yells and flying wedge, of

OF ySanthemummied maidenS and yo-
ciferating dads.

And when he took his leave of her she

To see him go so bravely, as to a game of

To gouge his nose deep in the turf and tear
his ear half off
Oh, brave the soul that gives itself TO bit
ter pain and groan.
But Drawer still the woman-heart that

oh. tenderly they bore him on 4 shutter to

One arm they had not found as yet; man

They brought his Adam s-apple and pha-

real English and real smart thing nova
days. The novice in hanson cab driv-

seats herself on the far side. leaving
room for her companion or escort TO be

entering.
Not so the woman who has had her

where she entcrs-that is at the curb.

her to get to his place. Where we turn
to the right in driving the continental
method Is to turn to the left and vice

method Of transplanted misdirection
which we follow III riding in hanson.
The matter has now reached the auto

followed, and that the proper seat for

The arrival Of the fall equinox seems

are universal and that their causes are
peculiarly simple. OF course, | am
talking about ATTITUDES approximating

warning not only that the melancholy

1T is different in middle March.
Then the patter of the dropping rain
holds out a promise. The song birds
are seeking summer homes again. The
reviving grass and the tender mounds
which bourgeon upon the sap-thrilled
branches of the awakening trees speak
the incensed language of life and love.
The restored brooks Dabble that they
have thrown off their shackles. Daily
the sun burns more ardently upon all

The John NJ. Smyth Co. Have No
AGENTS

The wcll-meritcd popularity of the
great mail order establishment of the
John NJ. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to
have induced unscrupuious parties to go
through the country and falsely repre-
sent themselves as sales agents for this
house. BY thus representing themselves
they have succeeded in imposing upon
many by selling goods and taking cash
and notes from victims who actually be
l;eved they were purchasing goods from
the representatives. of the firm direct.
The John NJ. Smyth Co. have no agents
and denouuce as frauds all parties trav-
cling through the country and claiming
to represent the firm. The public should
be on the lookout for such imp0storS.
