Game of Love

What sort of wife should I have?'
said he,
And he watched her face attentiyely.

What Kind Of woman might be your
bride
She should be tall. and likewise fair
OF sun-kissed gold should he her hair;
While in her eyes must lurk the hue
That ocean wears when the sky is
blue"
But YOU are small and dark" cried
he.
Your hair is black as black can be.
Il only pictured the maid replied,
The woman | fancied might be your

This is how lovers play the game;
Till the end Of time twill be the same
The only rule that Love must know
Is never the simple truth to show

p!asrsncs of Opinion.

Attorney General Davis differs with Governor Jones on the ques- ton of appointing county clerks in those counties which the census shows have more than the requisite population of l5,000. Mr. Davis says: q am clearly of the opinion that no vacancy exists in either the county or the circuit clerks office of these counties, as the present in- cumbents were nominated and elect ed to fill the office of county and circuit clerk and, in my judgment, it would be entirely illegal for any appointment to deprive. them of half of the emoluments of their offices. 1 have been asked the same ques- ton repeatedly by interested par ties, and this is my view of the law on the subject" Governor Jones will make the appointments, and the matter will likely be settled in the courts.
