At the advice of our tOnsOrial
artist we shall receive bids upon
face lotion that will strengthen the
skin. Now it is not necessary for
the article in question to produce
a toughness that equals that of
boarding house steak, or the hide
Of hippopotamus; but something
that will just harden the skin suf-
ficiently without turning the edge
of the razor. Our face is as tender
as angels gizzards. After shaving,
our headpiece looks as though it
was attacked by company Of
Jersey mosquitoes, and the pores
of the skin stand as wide open as
an alligator's mouth while waiting
for a swarm Of insects. This con-
dition Of things has percolated
our heart with an unutterable
feeling of melancholy. If these
few lines will bring forth a rene
dy to correct these outward mani
festations of brutality, peace shall
once more reign IN Israel. We
hope some of our inside readers
will furnish the desired recon-
mendations. This is no sporadic
outbreak, but strictly personal
matter.
The Puerto Ricans are exceed

If any one has any suspicion of
the intentions of that tickle
maiden, Spring, they would
have been dispelled had
they but seen Sinbad "playing

the voice of the lawn mower is
heard in the land the Maiden will

ruddy glow of an October sunset
and the bristling aggressiveness
of a porcupine but when it expect
grated in my direction l knew it
was only the beard of my friend
Red. Red is going out soon and
he is allowed to take his beard
with him, but had he taken one
false step on the edge Of the roof
it would have become confscated
to the state
Along our one and only street
there is an unusual animation.
Artisans, artists and working men
rush hither and thither, with an
air of having more business than
they can attend to. The gardener
has an extra man or two with him
and the last years earth is being
rejuvenated with questionable stuff
from a wheelbarrow, preparatory
to receiving it's new spring bonnet.
Substantial looking stages are
suspended from the roof of the
tall shoe factory buildings; and the

an immaculate coat Of white.
Spring has come; and with it new
dress and new life, new hope and
new possibilities.
Mr.. Editor:-Last week your
paper contained an abortive at
tempt at ''roast," which accused
me Of having, not only plagiarized,
but stolen outright, a poem of
Capt. Jack Crawford's. [ ain at
loss to know whether Fair Play is
prompted by his love Of justice,
his jealous solicitude flor the fair
name and honor of The MIRROR,
his animosity to me, or his devo.
ton to the fame of Mr.. Crawford.
In any event the accusation he
has made is a serious one; and
since he has seen fit to accuse me,
[ demand that he produce his
proof. Until he can offer some
thing more substantial than the
pages of his own sin sodden men,
DRY, [ am certain that the readers
of The MIRROR will conclude that
he was moved only by a morbid
desire to get his pigeon-English
into print. Or perhaps it is his
forced long abstinence from crime
has begotten certain contortion Of
his passions that could only be
allayed by numbering something,
and he fell upon our mother lam
guage.
Now, [ don't claim to be much
Of a poet, but I have never COM
mitted anything in that line that
would justify this st. Croix wharf
rat in accusing me of having came
from Otter Tail County.
In closing now, 1 want to say
To this poor literary jay,
That all his lore of Captain Jack,
Of what he wrote, or how far back;
just when he died or what he thought
just equals mine and that is naught
And more than that tits plain to see,
His Coup de Main was aimed at me-
None will believe his good intents
Unless he shows his documents
know Fair Play my name dislikes,
But still l sign, Yours,
WILLIAM SYKES.

Too strong for ones belief,
For safe entrenched is he behind
