A WORD FOR CONNTY COURT.

Oh, Masters, Lords and Rulers Of the land,
This is the last straw TO our patient backs;
God knows we have endured and suffered
much,
And meekly borne your yokes upon our
necks
The insOlenee OF Office drives you mad;
And drunk with the exhuberance ofmight,
You've built our burdens in apyramid,
And on its towering apex sit serene,
Complacent and Indifferent TO our woes
You press the button and we pay the
freight;
Our patience is no longer yirtuous,
Our votes are gone, our sovereignty is
dead;
Longer supineness and we will be slaves.
You might have been more scornful Of
the poor,
Might tax cen more his few necessities,
And lay "capitation" on his cur;
We would have borne that. this we will
not bear.
Our Court day Is our pleasure and our
pride;
Our glorious, immemorial holiday.
We rise, we outraged ireemSa as o2e man,
And pledge our sacred honor and 'var
lives
To die in the last ditch defending it;
1t is the greatest blessing we have left,
Twelve stepping-stones across dull coun-
try years,
Gases In the desert Of our days.
A festival, very gala day,
And full Of all our proudest memories.
Ny heart swells at the very thought OF it;
The people gathers in twOs and threes;
The iOOtmen, hOrsemen, travellers in
carts;
The care-lree humor that peryades the
crowd.
This is the days on which we furbish
up
Our celluloid collar and appear
Dressed in our very bravest and our best.
The people lean and loaf upon the grass
And talk OF farming, church and politics;
Or strike in ierce, high-pitched forensic
war;
Or listen, open-mouthed and frankly
pleased,
To some renowned, acknowledged wag
or wit
Or gather round and cut q watermelon.
The busy lawyer bustles to and fro;
The sheriff calls the jury from the door;
The politician smiles and smirks on all;
The auctioneer sells some delinquent's
COW;
The stallion is parading In the road;
The jack-ass ever eager to be heard,

And scant-clad picanninies laugh In glee

ONLY A LITTLE CLIP.
An Ingenious Device for Holding Pa
per, which Has Become Very
Popular.

A short time ago someone put on the
market an ingenious device for hold
ing sheets of paper together. 1t took
the place Of the pin, says the New York
Press. BY "short time" is meant a
matter of some fise or six years. To-
day there are more than 20 different
kinds of clips, selling from 60 cents
per 1000 to 25 cents per 100, and con-
siderable capital is invested in their
manufacture. The same general prin-
ciple is followed in all, and it is as
sumed that each improvement is pat
ented. Corporations have been
formed to make nothing but CLIPS. and
competition is lively. The original
patcntee viii no doubt become mill
lionaire, though he may make only one
cent on each 1000 sold. 1t is the sim
pie. dirt-cheap invention that brings
lhe big returns something so mex
pensive that all the millions of US
want It.
