ming the road machine over our roads and

ed, as the roads were unusually rough this
spring. -. The recent rains will insure q
good hay crop this season.. 20. A. Dodge
and VIM. Reynolds have some very fine
looking pieces of early peas.

YES OR No.
Belfast People are Respectfully Asked
to Answer these Questions.

Is there anything in the evidence of ones senses?
Is there anything in the testimony OF ones
friends?
Can reliance be placed upon statements from
people we know?
Are the opinions of local citizens of any greater
moment than those of strangers?
Would you sooner believe people living in some
far away place than citizens of your own city?
We think not! for home proof can easily be in
vestigated.

ten her name, but that is what she
looked like-he Immediately began to
chase her around the stage, dropping
on his knee about every third step
However, she knew her business and
was by turns naughty and coy, dis,
dainful and reluctant until another
suitor appeared on the scene and tried
to get up row with the favorite, and
he almost succeeded; indeed, tney drew
their swords or knives or something of
that sort, and that fetched her. She
declared her preference. threw herself
into his arms and left the rejected
gentleman to take himself off without
even the assistance of the orchestra
But he marched around and out just
the same, only stopping at each turn
to utter curses. which were greeted
with shouts by the audience and
whistles from the boys.
About this time it was growing dark
and a gray haired old man who looked
exactly like one of the pet monkeys at
camp, came around with ladder, and,
leaning it against the posts, climbed up
and lighted oil lamps through the room.
The pop began to flow. cigarettes were
glowing everywhere, dulces and roast,
ed corn were in demand and everybody
was enjoying the afternoon hugely;
they were attentive to the stage, and
an occasional peal of laughter or LOUD
talking was promptly hissed. While
humorous remarks were greeted with
shrieks of laughter and applause.
The first act ended without the we'd
ding, and while it might easily have
occurred between the acts, concluded
not to wait and witness the poor rel-
lows martyrdom; it was evident from
the heroine's performances that he was
going to catch it thoroughly when the
time arrived.
So I came away, bidding "buenas
tardes'' TO all my newly made friends,
the old monkey usher, the fat gentle
man with the Tapping trousers, the
older women in stiff starched waists,
big sleeves and lace neckerchiefs, and,
last but most friendly, the rascal in
red breeches, who had left his bolo at
home.-B. H. A, in Chicago Record.
