The Prodigai's Return
(By Father DeInocracy.)


Fill high the foaming beaker, and lift

My prodigals are coming back, my dear
rcpeutant boys;
MY Buckeye sons who wandered off into
the camp of pelf.
And traded off their brthright for the
jam on Hanna's shelf.
And now they're crawling back again;
they've just been on lark;
Their Democratic characters indorsSd by
Uncle Mark.
So kill the fattest iieifer and rub the
silver bright
For the brave Mckinley Democrats are
coming Ednie tonight
Stand back, ye tattered grenadiers, who
fought in '96,
And let the runaways perform with ali
their patent tricks
Stand back, ye sons who never finch in
danger and defeat
And clear a space for prod'g:tls npol
the Mercy seat
In silken hose and golden lace and gar
ments Hanna-madc,
They'll be a dazzling spectacle upon the
big parade.
SO kill the fattest heifef and rub the
silver bright
For the brave Mckinley Democrats are
coming home tonight,
And to make sure the truant lads Will
care no more to roam,
Dress up mealy platform to keep them
safe at hone.
Touch lightly on taxation, and trusts
and conquest wrongs,
And greet them with a roundelay OF
merry Marcus songs.
Tune mp the Jackson fiddles and blow
the Thurman horn!
Well have rag time jubilee that lasts
till early morn.
Then pass the foaming beaker ard rub

A Pretty Custom.

A pretty practice which pre-
walls in some parts of the East,
and to some extent in the North
west, Is that of giving the farm
a distinctive name. Besides the
sentiment attached to designa-
ting the farm with some pretty
cognomen, 1t has Its useful side
In giving it a definite location.
Each farm, with its name is a
distinct place, whereas these an
named are merely so many tracts
Or acres OF land. The named
farm is easier to fnd and indi-
Gates that the owner has a pride
ia it-that it's his home. Then
it is easier to address mail mat,
ter, and in return, the farmer
may, like other business men,
have a line of printed letter and
bill heads, envelopes, etc.,
which cost but little more, if as
much, as the same amount oil
blank paper bought in small lots.
These are small things, but it Is
often trifies that elevate the man,
make him take more pride in
his Surroundings, and lead him
to appreciate life,-Homestead.
