Before he dare walk must creep.
There are no carpets in the House Of Sue

The Boy in Patches.

A country exchange asks, What has
become of the boy in patches" And
then answers it thus: Why, bless your
soul he is out on the farm hopping
clods sixteen hours a day. He will
come to town after a while to run the
banksand the stores and be the success

clans. Don't worry about the boy in

EstaIi.hing the City Limits.

Prof. P. l.. Grier has been engaged for
several days establishing the limits Of the
City of Abbev!lle.
Under the law, heretofore. the City limits
have extended one and one-fourth mile on
each put ;ic road leading out from the place
and the immediate points have been largely
q matter of guess work.
This has caused some Misunderstanding In
the matter OF the assessment OF rail road
mileage az well as In the assessments OF In
divtdnals.
The present purpose OF the surveyor is TO
fix the limits IN q cirle with radii one and one
fourth miles from the center Of the town.

The Man That LAUGHS First.

The Man That Laughs First.
You've all heard the trite little motto
That he who laughs last laughs the best
Be tina as it may, It's a half hearted way
OF meeting a friends little jest.
Perhaps it is wise to be solemn,
To sit back with lips tightly pursed,
Till all of the rest have applauded with
zest,
But here's to the mar that laughs first.
OF course I am twisting the motto
To suit this melodious lay,
But many I've found who twist 1t around
In just this identical way.
Pray, go to the play II you doubt It
And wait for the laughter to burst
The number Is vast that waits to laugh
last,
So here's to the man that laughs first.
We all like the rollicking fellow
Who sees, in a jiffy, the point,
Who throws back his head and laughs
ION the dead"
Till his features are all out Of joint.
The man hat laughs last, 7 imagine,
With a weak sense of humor Is cursed.
Let's laugh while we may; tits but for q
day;
So here's to the man that laughs first!

The Country of Wide Eyed Dreams.
Where are you journeying, little boy;
So far from the world and me?
Your round, blue eyes are alight with JOY
At something I cannot see.
Wonderful visions Of dewy dells.
Where sprites fit to and fro
On shadowy wings and weave their spells
Ger the pilgrims that come and go;
Fire eyed COLLINS that grin and nod
AT the fluttering butterflies,
Fairies asleep meath the goldenrod
That bends under autumn skies
AL these must lie on the road you tread
And beckon o on the while
Toward the light that Is lingering on
ahead
In the lane of the rainbow's smile.
Take me with you. far seeing elf,
To that realm where you are today,
Where worldly cares and thoughts OF self
Are ever so far away.
Show me the wonders your little eyes
Have learned to discover there,
For I see them light with a pleased sur
prise
AS you sit in tina rocking chair,
And, swinging so dreamily, look away
To a country beyond my ken,
A country I fear you will seek some day
And never come back again.
Yet know no way that a child may go.
With a fair and cloudless brow
And never a shadow Of pain or woe.
But the one you are travelling now.

AIDS THE DEFENSE
--t
Dr.. A. G. Rogers Testimony Favorable
to MIR. Clement.

The last witness examined for the
federal court in st. Paul in the case
against Banker Thomas B. Clement OF
Faribault, was DR.. Arthur G. Rogers,
superintendent of the state school for
feeble4minded and president Of the De
Soto Fruit, Agricultural s, Manufacture
ing company, in which concern both
Banker Clement and his son were inter-
ested.
MI. Rogers proved to be a witness
for the defense.
The government had introduced evil
dence to show that $4,000 of bonds Of
that company had been deposited in the
bank by Mr. Clement Feb. Is, 1904,
the same day that, it is charged, he
drew $6S,256.45 of securities from the
banks. In his cross examination At
torney Baxter, for the defense, showed
that Mr.. Clement had conveyed his title
to the plantation to the company with
out payment, and that the bonds were
issued in part to pay him. Mr.. Baxter
argues that Mr.. Clement, therefore, had
a perfect right to apply these securi-
ties to the payment Of the De Soto
company s Indebtedness to him without
any authority from the officers Of the
company
