Don't You Remember?

Who wouldn't be boy again? How
we'll we remember our boyhood days.
All of us can remember back to the
days how when we wore short dresses
mother used to sit us on her lap and
and after washing our chubby face
would curl our hair until it hung all
around our little heads like the tassels
on the head stall of a bride; and how
when Uncle Ned came he would give
slab of taffy and we would go out to
play and how that taffy some way
would get wet and sticky and we
would get it all over the aforesaid
chubby face and finally into those
beautiful curls, and then when mother
wanted to wash it out we'd cry and
kick and wish Uncle Ned and his
candy at the bottom of the sea.
And don't we remember the first
pair of pants and the first pair of
copper-toed boots we ever wore? and
how we strutted and began to feel as
tho we were men? and how we were
sent to school arrayed in all our finery
and the teacher looked at us in pleased
surprise and the younger scholars in
astonishment and envy? And don't
we remember how the first day we tore
hole in those beautiful new pants
trying to climb tree, and how one of
the big boys spit tobacco juice on our
new boots, and we cried and went
home and mother gathered us up in
her arms and called us her "little man" :"
and then we dried our eyes on the
sleeve of our waist and went out to
finish that big mud pie contract?
. And then don't we remember a few
years later how we used to walk home
with the dearest little creature in the
world, and how we would carry her
books for her over quarter of mile,
land when we got home would kick if
mother asked us to bring in an armful
of wood, with the wood shed only
about ten steps from the kitchen. and
whisper sweet nothings in her ear, that
ear which we thought as beautiful as
sea she'll with its network of delicate
blue veins and it's exquisite pink color
ing, even if it was as big as jack
rabbits ear? And how we would saw
things that would bring the color to
her face, beneath the freckIes which
were far finer in our eyes, tho not so
large as five-dollar gold piece.
And don't we remember our first
shave? how weNwent into the shop
and sinking back in the chair with an
air-we thought just like other men g.?
And how we murmered "not too close.
pease," and the barber brushed his
hand across his mouth to hide the
smile our remark had caused, for he
knew it was our initial scrape: and
when young fellow who had been
shaving for year Or two began call
ing "kitty, kitty" how we got angry,
but had not the moral courage to face
him, aud lay back in the chair, covered
with confusion and lather?
And don't we remember-but of
course we do, so why continue.

Little things often turn the tide. A
case in point is that of rich man in
Bath, Maine. Upon his death it was
found that he had revoked an intended
bequest of $4,000 for new city hall
because the city council had refused to
place street lamp near his residence.

You will encourage the Republicans

You cannot whip the Republicans by
