Probably not. There are wives who

A CYCLING BALLAD.

Oh, why doth Hubert sit apart
And make such doleful cheer7
To him the world is bleak and gray,
The times are out OF gear.
His grief, his melancholy, is
From day to day the same,
The picture OF sorrow that,
With sobs doth shake the frame.
Oh, Hubert loved a maiden, and
He loved the maiden we'll;
Bhe was the baron's daughter, OF
The countryside the bell.
Twas not for him, a low born churl,
with rank and state to meddle
Who went, with pack upon his back,
His iolderals to pedal.
But love scorns all distinctions, and
The cost Is never counting;
Dan Cupid lights fame that is
Forever higher mounting.
And Hubert, meath the lady's bower,
Would breathe his fond desire;
Nor yea nor nay she said. and yet
His fond heart knew no tire.
Ono month he's been upon his rounds,
Away from home so dear;
His heart II yearns. and now he turns
gladsome course to steer.
But four short weeks. and absence feed
The fame Of loves young torch;
Her bower In sight. It burns 10 bright
That he 10 like to scorch.
Bslow her window. barred, he sits.
All underneath the stars.
To climb he'd tain, but II were vain'
To climb and handle bara
And so he sighed. as lovers will.
In high falutin manner.
"Would she were by my side that
Around her waist might spanneri''
But, 10, the shadowy forms that DER
The grassy silence skipl
Before he has perceived them they
Right up to his side slip.
"what bird OF ill omen art thou
That here doth cav and croaki
bid thee answerl" And It was
The baron's voice that spoke.
81 am the peddler, Hubert, and
fain would have for bride
Thy beauteous daughter. but ] know
My suit thou wouldst de- ride"
Then loud and long the baron laughed.
While Hubert knclt and truchled.
last week my daughter went to church
And TO mate was buckledl"
Young Hubert fell unto the ground
As though struck by club.
"Nay, nayl" he cried, but they replied,
"Yea. year she's ta'en hubi"
He did not know was he in dreams
Or sleeping or awake;
OF his love robbed, he simply sobbed
A. though his heart would brake.
But soon they brought him round again
With many Gun and thump,
Then took and held his added pate
bereath the streaming pump.
And that's why Hubert sits apart;
CanE wonder now at him2
His bitter cup Is full right up
And running DER the b. rim.

tonic had gone to the right spot, and
Mrs. Bowser finally got the idea that he
might have struck good thing. She
had just fallen asleep when that idea
was dlspelled. Mr.. Bowser suddenly
uttered groan like horse stricken
down in the prime of life, and next mo-
ment he sat up in bed and exclaimed:
For the lands sake. but how do
suffer-
What's the matter?' asked Mrs.
Bowser as she jumped out of bed.
"My stomach! I'm deathly sick, and
pains shoot through me. Whew!
Ouch! Say, I'm dead man"
"It's that appetite restorer. Prob
ably it was intended to act this way.
Just lie quiet and let it get good
hold"
But Mr.. Bowser couldn't. In five
minutes he was being twisted into
dozen strange shapes by colicky pains,
and his nausea made him sweat like
steer in a cornfleld. Mrs. Bowser had
not said half she wanted to about ap-
petite restorers, but she lost no time In
telephoning for the family physician.
When he arrived, he found very sick
man. and it was long two hours be-
fore the pains eased up and gave him
chance tc inquire what had brought
them on. With tears in his eyes Mr..
Bowser owned up to the roots and
barks and vanilla and nutmeg and
other things. and the doctor made no
reply to him, He turned to Mrs. Bow
ser instead and said:
II will try and find the fool killers
address, and next time you have to
telephone get him instead of me and
tell him to bring his biggest clubs

fies the audience in floating through
the air while in a hypnotic state, and
the fire dancer delights the people with
the wonderful and ever changing col
0rs of the fire dance.
The Oriental theater, the haunted
swing, and the night and morning
shows are as popular as ever, and hold
their own as attractions.
The casino was completely filed and
the splendid program-the best Of the
season-w was thoroughly appreciated.
The German Village is the place to
go, while at the fair. Here, seated at
tables, with n fresh and cooling breeze
blowing, and all kinds of refreshments
and lunch ready to be served by polite
and accommodating walters, and
watching the free performance and
illustrated pictures upon the stage, the
people can find complete rest and
enjoyment. No less than a thousand
people occupied the tables and wit
messed the show in the German VIII
lage Tuesday night.

descent by the Monkey aeronant, Mrs.

ton in our last issue the high compli-
ment paid Cameron county by the,
Republican State Convention, wheIn
they named our fellow citizens, b. w
Green, Esq, of Emporium, Delegate
at-Large, and Capt. G. F. Barclay, OF
Sinnamahoning, Alternate-Delegate-
at-Large to the Republican NationaE
Convention, to assemble in Philadel-
phia, June 10Th. This great compli.-
ment is highly appreciated by the.
Republicans of this county, more
especially so when it is taken into con-
sideration that our little county has;
only once been honored, then only
with district delegate. The great,
Republican party of Pennsylvania has
complimented our county through the,
election of Mr.. Green and Mr. Barclay,
both representative and honorable
gentlemen, and we bespeak an old
time Republican majority in little
Cameron, thereby showing our friends
throughout the State that we appreci,
ate the greatest compliment that has
ever been accorded one county IN the
history of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania-two delegates to the
Nations Party Council. The PRESS,
and those friends who labored for the
election of Mr.. Green and Capt. Bar
clay, have reason to teel proud.
The PRESS had ordered and expected
in time for this issue, portrait cuts OF
our delegates, who will participate in
and assist in the denomination of the.
greatest President since Abraham Lin
coin, William Mckinley. Our en-
graver has disappointed us, the great
rush of orders rendering it impossible
to fill our order.
Republicans of Cameron, letu show
to our brothers throughout the State
that we are worthy of the confidence
they have reposed in us. Let us bury
for all time, all factional differences, IL
any exist and march as one solid col
umn with the great Captain who wills
lead the grandest party that ever en-
listed on Gods green earth, to VICTORY
county, State and Nation.
