Oh. women,
III our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy,
And hard to peaSe,
Why do you
Hold your dresses so,
When on the streets
You're pleased to go?
Say, ladies,
Are you quite aware
The way you hold them
Makes folks stare
And wonder,
Not little bit, 3 Z

So tight fit! raa5@ ~ #&
To their snugness blind,
Because you cannot
See behind.
To learn why people
Grin and pause?
Or do you
Do it Just becausc?''
If YOU are
Thin it's not so bad,
When YOU are somewhat
Ihlckly clad;
But If you
Have a figure-why.
Words fail to tell
What meets the eye.
Dear woman
Whatsoever it be
That makes the visions
Which we see,
Correct it.
Please, this very day,
And hold your skirts
Some other way.

He deserved election to the office of

ness in morals and ability, but such
is politics. The disappointment
may be keenly felt, but Mr.. Drum
mond is not the man to show it.
His friends were legion when he
went into the campaign and in his
canvas they have increased hun
dred fold. This Is satisfaction that
in after years he will value and all
will agree to be worth more than
what the efforts have cost him.
While we regreat that Mr. j..
Drmmond failed in the contest, we
are glad to retain him as our fellow
townsman and citizen. His splen-
did attainments will be valuable to
this particular community as a prac-
titioner at the Marshall county bar,

retive practice. Mr.. Drummond
will be heard from often in the
future as a political quantity as well
as a prominent factor in the legal

The indianapolis Press voices the
sentiments of all good citizens when
it urges that all individuals who
have committed frauds in any way
at the election shall be severely
punished. Attention has been
called to the fact that arrests are
frequently made when evidence of
corruption has been furnished
against individuals, but that after
elections were over the cases against
them were dismissed and they were
permitted to go wholly unpublished
This has usually encouraged them
to repeat their offenses. Instead of
permitting these individuals to es-
cape simply through neglect or in
difference, every effort should be
made to convict them and inflict
the full penalty of the law upon
them. In this way only can the
purity of the ballot be preserved.

The multitudeS who use this standard article
know that IL is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
turerS do not use them, because they are too eN-
pensive and do not allow large profits Mr.
Major tells Us that one Of the elements of his
cement costs 50 20 pound. ana another costs
s. 65 "A gallon. while large share of the So called
cementS and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than SiXteen-cent glue. dissolved
In water or Citric acid. and. In some cases, Ill
tered slightly in cOiOr aud OdOr by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails AT fifteen cents and
twenty-five Genus a bottle. and when dealer
tries To sell substitute you can depend upon IL
that his only object is Ia make larger pTOnt
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought 10 make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefits of Mr..
Majors advertising which amounts 10 over

proper place in it he referred to the mat
ter Of his relation to the toiling masses.

of hands that looked as if they had not

was on his feet in a minute. II do not

with bow. ''but | would say that |
think that they need soap and water"
1t was such an apparent case that the
crowd took hold at once with a shout.
and Boone was completely foored, and
later Stuart was elected.
