MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller on an autumn day,
All tanned and brown from raking hay
Stood by the kitchen table. where
A pumpkin stood. all golden fair.
She peeled the slices one by one.
Each piece as yellow as the sun.
And Their che put 1t on to stew
CThe pot she used was white and blue).
She took a lot of eggs and milk
And spice and things of that same .lk
And made a filling rich as gold
Ard later poured 1t in a mold
That she had made from shortened dough
Then put it On the stove, you know.
The judge came by and saw the maid;
His auto car in haste he stayed
And to the window sill he came
And softly murmured Maudie's name.
She cast on him startled eye,
Then handed him a piece of pie.
He took bite-the pie was great!
He knew at once he'd met his fate.
Her cheeks were pink. her lips were red
AS he, the judge. with ardor said,
"Ah, Maudie, dear, come be my wife
And bake my pies through all my life."
She hung her head and smiled a smile,
But she forgot that all the while
That as he heard her softly lisp
Her pie was burning to crisp.
She took his ring and named the day,
And then he swiftly rode away,
And then she turned to get the pie,
But it was burned. and black and dry.
Twas to the hungry piglets fed.
Hes worth one pie" she softly said.

council chamber will be occupied to-
night by the city council, the mass
meeting called by President Catron at
the request of the directors of the
Commercial club, will be held in the
court house at 1880 o'clock. The OBJ

portunity to discuss the or
dinance passed by the city
council several days ago granting a
franchise to Charles E. Sumner for
another telephone system There has
been considerable discussion of the
matter on the streets by the bust
ness men and it was deemed best that
a public meeting be neld in order that
some expression could be obtained be-
fore Mayor Hunt passes on the ordi-
nance. A great many merchants have
expressed themselves as being op-
posed to the franchise, while others
have approved of it.
1t is desired that every person tina
has any interest whatever in the sub
ject attend the meeting tonight. The
meeting will not be confined to mem
bers of the club alone, but every mer
chant, business man and property
