A cloud that obscureth his vision,
and great gobs of dark brown gloom
possesseth his soul.
He rises up betlmes and shifted
the morning air with heavy heart
and an Unsecured nose,
He snatcheth a few pancakes from
the grlddlp, and rusheth to his la
bors depressed in spirit, saturated
with dyspepsia.
He returneth at noon, and falletn
over mop.
The Dali, sickening thud o; the
belarruped carpet is heard in the
land.
The queen OF his household
crowneth herself with dirty towel
and a fierce look.
She resembleth and avening angel.
Her scepter is broom; the carpet
fuzz clingeth to the selvage OF her
nose.
| Large quantities of real estate
settleth among the dim pies OF her
swanike neck.
Her eye glareth with the fury of.

She maketh her spouse to eat din

He findeth a cake of soap beside
his plate, and a portion of scalp

At night he returnethed to his

He feared the worst.
The swish of the peach-limb is

a tin cup, and prepareth for bed.
A live carpet-lack buryeth its

He yelleth in agony, and bumpeth
the clustering from the ceiling in a

The family dog howleth beneath
his window like the wall of a damned

Who imperileth his immortal soul?
He who tarryeth at home to tack

SENATOR McGilliyary's cam
paign statement "that he saved
the state $4,000, is pre-
sumed to mean that he saved the
state this amount by opposing
the building of a new capitol.
The senator was not the only
member of the legislature who
opposed this and had the ques
tion ever come before the legis
lature there are ten chances to
one that a large majority of the
memb ers would have been op-
posed to it. The same state
-nent could as well be used by
other members. Assemblyman
Clausen opposed it and we do
not hear of him saying that he
saved the state 100000.

To DAY is Thanksgiving day
and if moral gratitude is to be
measured by the volume of trade
and the material evidences Of
prosperity the turkeys should be
eaten with a relish never before
experienced. Trade during the
past year has been good and in
fact may be regarded as record
year for the businessmen of this
section. The indications are
that the Northwest Is enjoying a
period of prosperity much great

the merchants but every other
