IN THE REALM OF POESY.


The Optipist.
A whole lot of trouble is made doubly
double
Because it is ma<nied so,
There's car load of strife consigned to
each life
But we all overload 1t, you know.
We make up whole trains of sorrows an
pains,
We go on excursions of woe
We try to make tears add weight to our
years
An let life's jocundities 20.
Now. If was tn ruler of Trouble I'd
fool er,
I'd bury her deep in my soul,
An I'd cover her up with a sup from JOY 8
cup,
An sip from Serenity's bowl.
An then ia start out to raid an to rout
An to drive all woe to goal
That was fenced in with laughs an jollies
and chaffs,
Where teardrops d have to pay toll.
An then Td-by golly-Id start in an jolly
Each Teller who d felt of tn thong
OF tn lash of lll-will an soon Il would Ali
His heart with melodious song.
An I'd set the world laughin an singin'
an chaffin,
I'd blight every vsstige of wrong;
An I'd just try to see how blamed glad
could be
While l jollied tn world along.

Let Conscience Speak,

Let Conscience speak,
1t is Gods voice,
Its faintest whisper heed and then
Thou shalt rejoice
To know Him near
Whom spheres obey,
Who will His children shepherd, shield,
Though worlds decay.
Be you assured
That right shall win
Though evil men in hate combine
With powers of sin.
Hope brighter CLOVIS,
Loi turns the tide
And on its bosom Truth and Right
Victorious ride

Waste to decay!
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done"
Devout men pray,
Abide Coos time,
His time is best.
Time and Eternity obey
His high behest.

CONGRESSIONAL CHIT-CHAT.

Congressman Warnock, of Ohio is
one of the largest owners of cattle in
his state.
Dining at his Washington mansion
during a term of congress, Senator
Clark will often sit alone at the head
of the table in his brilliant dining
room, taking his meal in absolute
silence. He is not a Sociable man in
general, but loves to dine out in agree
able company.
Nothing so elegant in the way of Gre
dentials ever appeared in the senate as
those of Senator Hanna, which Mr..
Foraker handed up to the clerks desk.
That is what the veteran employees of
the clerks office say. Written on the
finest parchment, these credentials are
bound between full morocco covers,
labeled in gilt letters: Credentials of
Senator Marcus A. Hanna" and tied
with dainty bows of red ribbon, nice
enough for any boudoir
Representative Mick" Longworth, of
Ohio the amateur golf champion of
Hamilton county, made his maiden
speech in congress the other day. Fred
Ireland, one of the official stenograpifers
and himself a golfiac, reported the
speech. He began his notes as follows:
Representative Longworth teed up his
first oratorical ball to-day and made a
pretty drive for $50 yards. He got in
trouble in the long grass with his meta
phorcal iron on the second shot, but
came out nicely with a poetical approach
and holed down in five with peroration
that gave him bogy."

The Death Song of the Trees.
I'VE are doomed" sighed the trees, for
ever and ever come higher
The ak and the biting saw, and the all-de-
vouring frel
We are strong to meet our fate, but wo for
the innocent things
That have lived their happy lives in the
peace our shelter brings.
The deer will find no refuge from the hunt
er's deadly gun,
The frail wild flowers will wither in the
glare of the MONDAY sun;
The streams will dry at their fountains, the
nesting birds must go,
The whole fair land will be stricken with
loneliness and woe,
No more to parching southland will the
winds bring cooling balm,
They will pass an arid desert, with death in
its changeless calm.
Alas! sighed the trees together-the wall
swept on and on
ALIAS for the beautiful land when its guar
dian trees are gomez

Obscurity.

There's a song for the man who Is lucky and
bold
For the man who has fate on his side;
There are cheers for the folk that are JIM
Cling their gold,
And are drifting along with the tide.
But the man who is striving to get to the
land
And facing the hungry waves crest,
We quite overlook, for We don't understand
The fellow that's doing his best.
But he has his rewards when the story is
done,
Though We smile as he plods on his way,
For his own self-esteem is the prize he has
won,
AS obscurely he's stood in thefray.
And he knows the affection of home and OF
friends
And the pleasures of honest-earned rest
There are peace and good WILL as the twt-
light descends,
For the fellow that's doing his best.

Our youth would safely guide us. who
For us put other joys aside;
We push their loving hands away
And carele ssly their hopes we Stay
We oft bring sorrow, seldom pride.
We blindly fail to see how far
From selfshness their pleadings are;
Their love We lightly laugh to scorn,
And go our ways and little care
That they kneel praying for us where
With US their dearest hopes were born.
But when to us come cares. at last,
When youths mad follies are all past,
We know the wounds we gave were deep.
Ans as we turn to fondly show
Our love their dear white heads sink low.
