the political conduct of the Administration The Sc

political considerations, and he may properly be re-

'and our advancement is constantly in
creasing as shown by the receipts of the

Mr.. Pearre, will be reelected by an
increased majority. He has made a

Pearre, although the Democrats are try
ing to create discord by circulating re-
ports given out by disappointed col

Bulls Eyes.

When a man sings his own praises
the audience rises and leaves in dis
gust. If he sang theirs they would
stay.
We all know there is an end or
| life, but most of us think that in
our own case the end is a long way
off.
1t is bad enough for one person to
feel cranky without having every
body else in the house enjoy the
same privilege.
When man tries to hold up both
ends of a log. it is usually the man
in the middle who does all the lift

Many a man dolefully asks him
self: lis life worth llving?" who has
done nothing TO warrant an afiirma-
tive answer in his own case.

faults is that our eyes are just big

THE FOREST POOL.
BY JULIA NEELY FINCH.

BY JULIA NEELI FINCH.
Cool, cool, clear and cool
Is the forest pool.
And its banks are set
In the emerald fret
Of willow and rush
And grasses hush.
AS a gleam in a glass
And the shadows that pass
As the birds fit by
In the bending space
Of the blue, blue sky.
There's a whirr of wings
As some insect filings
From covert to covert of the
curved sedge
That groweth so green to the
waters edge,
And a flutter and furry
As a mother hen brings
Her braod in hurry
To the crystal cup
That they stoop and sup.
There's sinuous trail
As sleep shape slides
To the water and hides
In its deepest place.
As fairy sail
On a fairy boat
Are the wings afoat
Ger the water still,
Of the firefly frail.
There's a little bird swings
In a bough and sings
To his little brown mate
In her nest beneath.
And she knoweth to wait
For the sentient thrill
In the spheres of love
That she broods above.
And the winds slip by
With no stir, no sigh,
Der the pool a-dream
Meath the suns warm gleam.
