BURIAL OF LINCOLN.

And so they buried Lincoln? Strange
and vain.
Has any creature thought of Lincoln
hid
In any vault meath any coffin lid,
In all the years since that wild spring
of PAIN
'Tis false-he never in the grave hath
lain.
You could not bury him although you
Upon his clay the Cheops ~ mid,
Or hcaped Il with the Rocky II ,untain

They slew themselves;-the but set
Lincoln free.
In all the earth his great heart beats
as strong,
Shall beat while pulses throb to chiv-
airy,
And burn with hate of tyranny and
wrong.
Whoever will may find him, any
where
Save in the tomb. Not there-he is
not there.

While row of merry milestones fit

With each sputter of the sparker,
But the lovelight in my heart was

We sat behind the headlights golden

And the scent of fragrant naphtha

While my arm, like Cupid's tether,
Stole around her waist of leather
To the music of the horns inspiring
blare.
Long I gazed into her goggles, and I
said:
"Oh promise me that some day we

Then chap who'd lost his hearing

Another Important Matter Will Be
Sale of Sewerage Bonds. Regu-
lar Meeting of Town Fathers.
The session of the city council
this (Tuesday) afternoon will be
an important one.
The first matter to engage the at
tention of the municipal fathers will
be the sale of the 100000 of bonds
that were voted sometime ago for
installing a sewerage system. The
bonds bear five per cent interest,
and one bond will be retired each
wear. 1t is advertised that bids will
be opened at 4 o'clock.
Another matter will be the fixing
of the city tax rate, which, it is I'M
derstood, will be $1,000 on the
thousand, the same as it has been
the past several years.
Clerk r. E. Bell has been figuring
on the amount it will take to defray
the expenses of the city another
wear. and the possible, or probable,
income. He finds that $4,000 Will
be the least possible amount the
city can get along with, and incl
dentals and unforeseen expenses will
increase this sum to $4,000 OF
more.
