After IL HOLIDAY.


Oh the world seems weary and all forlorn,
After holiday.
And you half way wish you had neer been
born,
After a holiday.
For the fire is slow and the cook Is cross,
And you long for sleep. for you feel its loss,
And earthly pleasures are only dross,
After holiday.
You wake to a morning of vain regrets,
After holiday.
And you muse on prisons and ghosts and
debts,
After q holiday.
And the grocer's boy, in the self-same mood
Greets you with manners sadly rude,
AS he comes a noon with your breakfast
food
After a holiday.
The bird in the cage declines TO sing
After a holiday.
Enthusiasm has taken wing.
After d holiday
The dog gets surly and tries TO bite,
And the kitten arches her back in spite
And nothing earth is going right.

SIXTH BEST SPENDERS
OF YEAR AT CAPITAL.

Says the Springfield News: The
9th regiment. which was at Camp
Lincoln last week, spent more money
in this city than any other regiment
which has thus far been in camp.
The first regiments to come into
camp were inclined to stay in their
quarters, and not many were to be
seen on the streets. The 9th came
down town early and stayed as late
as possible. and it was natural that
considerable money should be spent.
The tailors did a thriving business
sewing ON stripes, especially for the
non-commissioned officers, who
seemed TO have come to camp minus
the insignia of their rank. A
prominent drug man of this city said:
we made money and lots of it. out
of the 9th men. They flocked in here
during the day and greater part of
the night. Our soda fountain was
well patronized by the soldiers. and
the other merchants are all speaking
about the amount of money left in
the city by the regiment.

AS the warm days sPproach, it is
well to give some thought to an easy
way to prepare breakfast. a food
that is already cooked and simply
needs to be treated with a little coli
milk or cold cream, is ideal on that
point, and such food can be found
IN GraPe-Nuts, at Is cents per pack

1t is sold by all grocers, and is SO
highly concentrated that not more
than three or four teaspoonfuls are
required for the cereal part of the
meal. This makes the food very
economical and does not Overtax the
