More blessed than song can say,
BehOIding the skies bead over
The beautiful hills OF May.
They are pink where the orchards flower,
They are white where the dOgwoods sway,
Or blue where the viOlets cover
The beautiful hills OF May
They are low that the heart may love them.
They are far that the thought may stray,
They are near that the feet may CLIMB

Though better than song be silence,
Yet, ahi that song could convey

That blooms on the hills Of May.

a May Moving on the Farm.

The sun is peeping above the trees,
And the farmers boy must rise
Ere yet the dreams are fed from his head
Or the sleep IS gone from his eyes;
de must hurry away TO the pasture, where
The drOwsy cows repose,
And hundred things he learns out there
That the city boy never knows.
he haStens away, with brown, bare feet,
Through the dew that gems the grass,
And the stubbles prod and the briars cut
The little bare legs, alas,
And the birds sing songs, as is their wont,
And the cows he goes 10 fetch
Get up behind and then in front
And crook their tails and stretch.
He stands for awhile on the smooth, hos
spot
Where a COW slept through the night.
And the heat is sweet 10 the bruised, bare
feet
And the sad little heart grows light.
And the larks fit over the meadows where
The South Wind gently blows
Oh hundred things he learns out there
That the city boy never knows

When Pa Comes from the Links.

When pa comes home, all tired out,
Just fore / go 10 bed,
And you can see the big, blue veins
On both sides OF his head
And ma brings out some bottles and
He drinks and drinks and drinks
As though he'd never get enough,
He's been out on the links.
He says il does him good 10 play
And makes him well and strong,
And when he has to cross the room
He drags his feet along.
And you can tell just by the way
Ma looks at him she thinks
Some things she dassen't say out loud
When pa comes from the links.
One night when pa came limpin' home
And wasn't feeling gay,
I said: Say, pa, yOu must Of done

And you better watch out what you say

In re Commonwealth of Pennsyl-

man, District Attorney, VS.. William
Krickbaum.
In the Court of Common Pleas of
Columbia County, No. 6, Dec.
Term, 1900.
The relator, John G. Harman,
District Attorney of Columbia
County, excepting and reserving all
manner OF exceptions to the errors,
both in form and substance, makes
answer, replication and demurrer,
to the alleged answer of William
Krickbaum, respondent, in the
above entitled proceeding ,as follows
First: So far as the said answer
of the respondent admits the facts
recited in the suggestion of the re-
lator and demurs thereto, the said
reiator Joins in said demurrer and
says that petition and suggestion
are sufficient in law, and therefore
moves the Court for judgment of
custer.
Second: So far as said answer ex-
pressly denies the facts recited in
said suggestion and, petition, the
said relator joins issue.
Third: For further reply to the
new matter contained in said answer
the relator excepts to the scandalous
and lmpertinent allegation contain
ed therein, that T. J. Vanderslice
was at the time said bond was ex-
ecuted and approved, Attorney for
the said County Treasurer, and at
the same time private counsel for
said respondent, and advised the
execution and approval of said bond
in the manner stated in said sugges-
ton, and moves the Court to ex-
punge from the record said scand-
alous and impertinent matter.
Fourth: For further reply to the
said new matter, the relator admits
that the facts recited on the last
page oil respondents answer in re-
gard to the cancellation of the
original bond of the said County
Treasurer, and the substitution Of a
new bond in the place and stead of
the old one, are true as stated and
set forth in said answer, and the re-
lator demurs thereto and suggests
to said Court that the action of said
County Commissioners i'll canceling
the said original bond was in itself
a violation OF Section III of the Act
OF March 3Ist, 1860, and said action
of the respondent in itself makes
him liable to be removed from Office
for violating the provisions of said
Act and the relator asks that said
