sorrows of beautiful Marguerite or the
weird fascination of "Mephisto. {"

was sent to Ridgefleld Park by the
Methodist Conference to take Mr.. Will

was running for Village Trustee, and
his friends took the news to the con-
ference. Our candidate was beaten

the latter ran 100 behind his ticket no
doubt grieved him. l will continue to

class, were obliged to mortgage their
crops every year in order to obtain
supplies to raise the crops. When
Southern farmers have money to lend
the situation is, indeed, changed. They

CHAPTER II.
"AND THE LIP. "

All things are transitory, but man
who has been much humored-has
grown to expect a certain length of
rope. Therefore the inheritance which
only lasts week, and then, before one
has time to draw single check, van
ishes away, is not even respectfully
transitory; it is ridiculous The poet,
who must have a certain time over
which to spread himself, would refuse
so absurd subject. An inheritance Of
week, without touching single
sguinea's worth Of 1t is as foolish as
The imaginary winning of great prize
in lottery. Pleasures of the imagina-
ZION for a week: plans and schemes
and vague rainbow-tinted phantoms Of
future joys for seven days. and then
nothing nothing at all.
