4 Few Wishes,

wish they'd get Alfonso married off, And settle down to work at Panama; ; wish that Teddy might explain in full About the case between himself and
 Shaw. I wish they'd get together in some way And end the row concerning railroad
 rates; I wish the tariff might be so arranged That gladness would exist through
 all the states. I wish the Germans and the English
 might Cease making ugly faces for awhile, Or, if they're bound to fight, go in
 and fight, And start ahead again in proper
 style. I wish the football season were wound
 up, And all the bills of Christmas settled,
 too; I wish t were last March again, with
 all The joys of spring and summer com
 ing due.

An English paper relates that several United States tourists were doing" the lake, region in England recently. One of them, an old lady, rather deaf, was on the box seat. As the vehicle passed the houses associated with fam ous names in literature the driver di- rected the attention of the passengers to them. With a jerk of the whip, he announced "De Quinceys house." sfWI1ose?" demanded the old lady. "De Quincey's.' repeated the driver. .'Would you repeat? I'm a little hard of hearing "De Quincey's," again bawled the driver. "Oh, Dick Win sey's,' said the old lady. and down it went in the notebook with all the other celebrities.

A new postoffice to be established in Texas bears the name of Damsite. Lest the suggestion of profanity shock the reader the explanation of Colonel Cecil Lyon, a prominent politician from the Lone Star State should be repeated.

The fact is that the town needs a post office because engi- neers are preparing to build a large ire ...,sssan .~-,,sssssssans dam at that point. Hence we have named it appropriately Damsite."
