A LOVELY oLp.rlMER.

If you become a nun, dear,
A friar | will be;
In any cell you run, dear,
Pray look behind for me.
The roses all turn pale, too;
The doves all take the veil, too;
The blind will see the show;
What you become a nun, my dear,
I'll not believe it, mo-
II you become a nun, dear,
The Bishop Love will be;
The Cupids, every one, dear,
Will chant, 1--WE trust in thee!"
The incense will go signing,
The candles fall a-dying,
The water turn to wine,
What! you to take the VOWS, my
dear,
You may-but they'll be mine.

general era of building in this city or

The situation Is this: The great
bulk of people, who want to build, do
not understand the union, and many
of them dtstrust the unions.
There must be better understand
ing, and all distrust of the Union must
be removed, If there is to be general
employment of men in the building
trades of Salem this year.
The carpenters union should, at an
early date, take action to remove the
Misunderstanding, and destroy the
prejudice that now exists.
Our city is suffering from this mis-
understanding, and from this preju-

Many people are hesitating about
building, because they do not know

If we are to have a general era of
building prosperity there must be an
effort made to remove those restric-
tions from which our community is
suffering.
THE CARPENTERS UNION
SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE.

than doubled within the past very few
years, notwithstanding which, en-
largements and additions are required

pressed upon the Fair management.
The Ohio State Fair grounds are
beautiful and attractive in every re-
spect; a delightful park resort, sup
piled with every convenience possible
to be provided for public comfort and
recreative pleasure. Unlike new
grounds, for new or temporary expo
sitions, there is nothing incomplete
or in a chaotic state. The lawns are
old and well set: trees are of great
growth and line the various avenues,
furnishing an abundance of shade be-
tween the points of interest and lead
ing to the numerous great exposition
buildings and departments of the
Fair Shaded reserves are also in
abundance and sweet smelling flower
Ing shrubbery dot the banks, islands
and projections of attractive lakes
and fancy water courses. No city
park or established pleasure resort is
more inviting than the Ohio State

beauty that nature and art affords.
