"A friend who has gone to cheap
boarding place in the hills to spend his
vacation writes as follows:
Backward, turn backward time in thy
fight;
Feed me on Cruel again just for to.
night.
am so weary of sole leather steak,
Petrified doughnuts and vulcanized
cake,
Oysters that slept In a watery bath,
Butter as strong as Goliath or Gath,
Weary of paying for what I don't eat.
Chewing up rubber and calling it meat,
Backward. turn backward, for mean I

Give me a whack al grandmother's

Let me eat butter whose hair has been

And then III, be ready to turn up and

No, it isn't willful in 'em-
Them what write of mother dear
That thar's never notice taken
OF her ole man sittin' near;
No, it's never meant to slight him,
But hit looks a little sad
All the bouquets made for mother,
Not bloom for pore old dad!
True our mother watched above Ills
TIL her dear ole eyes wu1 ache,
But ole dad, he bumped to feed us
Till his back VIVID nearly break,
Mother crooned above the cradle,
Gave devotion all she had;
Still, thar wasn't any circus
All this time for pore old dad!
Do not take one line from mother
When We write the soul-sweet song,
But liz thar's word for father,
Now an then. it won't be wrong;
Poor ole soul, he's bent and wrinkled,
An know 'twould make him glad

Sometimes sed for pore ole dad!

Representative Livingston, who
stopped off in Washington on his way
to Maine, where he will take the stump
for the democratic party, predicts that
there will be a deficit in the country's
finances for the fiscal year of SAG. O0o,-
thorized by congress at 81 ,O49, 900, 600,
and the same congress repealed the
war revenue tax bill. Therefore, he
says, the expenditures will exceed the
receipts by $4,000, 900. This he be.
lieves will be hailed with joy by the
bankers, for it win mean a bond issue
which will enable them to predicate an
increased circulation without paying
the high premiums which United
States bonds are now commanding. He
says that the administration will issue
bonds and attempt to make the people
believe that they are issued in order
to meet a demand for government Sc
enritiess which arises as result Of the
extreme prosperity OF the country. 1t
is not considered likely, however, that
the government viii find it necessary
to issue bonds for the especial purpose
Of meeting deficit. An issue of bonds
is provided for by the Spooner resolu-
ton authorizing the construction OF the
Panama canal, and already the officials
are counting on that issue to help out
the secretary in his efforts to meet the
deficit. There is little doubt but that
Senator Spooner had been requested by
the administration to provide for that
bond issue Of $3.50, oO0,0 600 for that very
purpose.
