Formerly Silveira and ex-President

bers Of the revolutionary committee

the steamers Adirondack, of the Peo-

Slowly he climbed the stair
Gaxed on the buds that had lost thei

Gazed on the vacant chair.

No one to call him down,
No one to give him a pleasant look
Wife was out OF town.
Nothing about the house looked right,
Nothing was quite in place;
Really the rooms were an awful sight.
Verging upon disgrace.
Sweeping seemed here a long lost art,
Pictures with dust were brown;
Everything looked indeed the part
Wife was out of town.
Yes; 1t was fine for a day or two,
Not to be bossed about,
But ere the first long week was through
Novelty all wore out
Out with the boys all night had lost
Charms that 1t held OF old;
Fun once furious now was a frost
With no one at home to scold.
Why did he wear a smile as long
AS bill for brand new dress?
Why did he MARBLE a tender song7
Bet you could never guess.
Well. it's simple as Mary's lamb,
Easy enough. you will say.
He had received a telegram
She would be home next day.
