THE SWEET PEA MAiDENS.

We're a rainbow band
With sunbonnets gay:
We're nOdding and smiling
The whole summer day.
We are white with terror,
Cause naughty boys steal
Away our sweet sisters
Just think how you'd feel.
Some are purple with rage,
When rude people dare
To say we are common
Or not at all fair.
Then others turn yellow
At hearing men cry:
Miss Rose is the beauty,
For her we would die!!'
And all pink with bushes
Are those when it's said,
These are the sweetest.
These we would wed. u....
But how mixed we appear
When folks want to know
How so many youngsters
In one bed can grow?
We're often quite rakish.
And sometimes in weeds;
But we never SOW more
Than a few little seeds.

Bishop @. G. McCabe, one of the
most,prominent men in the Meth
odist Episcopal church, was visit
ing in Fort Worth, Tex, not long
ago. A New York paper wired
him thus: uWhat is your opinion
on the Anglo-Saxon alliance7
Please wire us answer" Now, it
happens that there resides in Fort
Worth a we'll known citizen of the
name of @. G. McCabe. The tele-
graph company, knowing G. @.
McCabe better than the visiting
bishop, delivered the message at
the formers house. The recipient
was considerably surprised, but
he promptly wired this reply: ut
is damned good thing" Just
what the New York editor thought
on receiving the return message is
not matter of record.

tices will leave for their vacations.
The court will probably stand ad-
journed not less than two months
The court now has under consider
alton the appropriation bill case, and
upon Its decision depends the question
OF whether the Legislature must be
called In extra session to provide sal.
aries and expenses OF state Offices.
One Of the other very important
cases is that concerning the fire and
police board. which indirectly involves
other public oficials holding over In
ONCE under the home-rule amendment.
Whether the Inheritance tax law is
valid IL another important question
the court is considering. Upon this
depends the right OF the state to col.
iect large sums. notably more than
100000 from the Stratton estate.
II the Court Of Appeals hands down
the written opinion on the question OF
whether the city council or the county
