Maud and the Judge Again.

From tie Denver Sunday Post.
Maud Muller jumped on her time-worn bike
For an evening hit at the dusty pike.
An old drop frame Of q way down gear
with o rattle the sleeping dead could hear!
The Judge came pounding along behind.
Out airing his great judicial mind.
He noted the hEurs neat and trim
And graceful motion Of hidden limb.
And he said to himself in his grave delfRhti
Matchmaker with Maudief She's all right"
He drew beside her and asked her fat
Why she rode such An old ice cart as thAt
And she said saleslady could i'll support
Such wheel as the judge Of the district court
He told her she could on q chsinless ride.
With diamond frame. II she d be his bride.
Or II she would bust up his solo life
They would tandem toge Their a. man and wife.
Maud bit at the bait like hungry trout
And the old Judge smiled A. he yanked her out
But Maud has TO work like treadmlll horssl
For the Judge has learned how to sit and shirk
And let his darling do all the work.

And she often says with pan rent hearth

There was Sorrow facing Joy,

Looking calmly down on Hate;

There was Anger, too. with eyes

Virtue and Desire,
Hope, forgetful OF Despair.

And glad honest TrustfulnsssI

imported skeletons going from $40 to
$3.50, according to the number OF
teeth they were shy. Purchasers can
not be fooled by false teeth. The only
superiority In the foreign article Is in
the matter Of complexion. Frenehmen

Simple as II seems, II was a great

The kingdom Of God does not lie In

Our feelings are always purest and
