HOPELESS.

Her eyes are blue as Heavens blue.
Or bluer;
To know her Is to sigh and sue.
And WOO her;
And yet she fences for her heart
With all a masters subtle art:
Her nerves must be of steel a part.
And truer.
Dan Cupid wars with her each day,
Yet misses
The mark that should be easy prey
To kisses;
And thrice have I on Bonded knee.
Prayed well the cause so dear to me-
She listens smiles, and then the plea
Dismisses.
Cupid and are both at sea,
Deploring
The fate that hinders him and me
From scoring
IT'S cruelty indeed that she
Is adamant to such as we,
For we must now and ever be
Adoring.

The Easter Fair.

The ladies of Grace Episcopal church
gave an entertainment in the opera
house Tuesday evening April LIST, that
was literally patronized. They served
supper from O'Clock until about I
and good one that was fit to serve on
any occasion. After the supper the
Mandolin Club gave several numbers
that were highly appreciated and
applauded. Mrs. DR.. Ahern gave a
violin solo in her best style which was
also appreciated and applauded highly.
The farce was rich and racy from
start to finish, the local hits taking
down the house. The fancy articles
and other goods on sale at the various
booths were In good demand, selling
at remarkable price. Mrs. Bucknum
and Mrs. Lille Stremel, of Minneap-
oils. remembered the little church
with fine assortment of valuable
articles that met with ready sale and
Mr.. w. O. Swenson presented them
with a clock that commanded fair
price and was a profitable investment
for the society and Mrs. Darcy sent a
box OF fancy articles from Pasadena,
California, where she is spending the
winter for all of which the ladies of
the church desire to express their
gratitude. They themselves had
made many useful articles, through
their various church organizations,
the church and society, the Daughters
of the King and St. Margarets Guild
all working in harmony to produce
the best results for the church and
society. Several of the merchants
and the markets remembered them
literally in providing meats, coffee
and sugar for the occasion and best of
all, they all came and gave them a
liberal paying patronage. The net
proceeds of the evening will vary but
little from $50.
