Reuben at Babylon.

When Deacon Hiram journeyed from
His little town Of Tyre.
Hi found the price Of things at Thebes
Was Just Il tritic higher
They left his whiskerines to him
And blessed his dear old soul.
If Reuben went to Babylon
Ill bet they got his roll.
The worlds not greatly changed. you
Twas really much the same
When When Adam took the pippin and
Twas just as tricky in the days
When Egypt beat the Jews,
Or when Deiilah dropped the dope
In Mister SIMPSONS booze.
And when the Tower of Babel rose
To greet the mocking skies
The chief contractors sudden wealth
Produced profound surprise.
When CIrtagena'S wandering boys
Got rather flushed with wine
The barkeeps gave them wooden change
In dear old Palestine.
When Egypt's daughter plausibly
Found Moses on the strand
The sewing circles straightway raised
A question in that land:
When Pharaoh boosted Joseph to
- A job exceeding high.
Some Lincoln Steffens hollered Graft"
And Craft" is still the cry.
And when the Tuscan shepherd lads
"Excursioned" down to Rome
On Circus Day. they found some crooks
They'd never seen at home;
When Jason from the rowdy West
Came ronnping back to Greece
Some Athens broker sold him stocks
And got jays golden fleece.
When Uncle Hiram journeyed from
His country seat at Tyre
The gold-brick men of Nineveh
Would meet the dear old Squire
And fill his dear old carpet bag
AND bless his dear old soul
When Reuben went to Babylca
He always dropped his roll

They have just discovered that one
of the good stories commonly credited
to Lincoln was told by Thomas Jeffer-
son. Now why not go back little
and trace it to those who told it before
Jefferson's day? No doubt many a
statesman of the past few centuries
told it, having read it in the book Of
some Roman author who borrowed 1t
from Greek VINO found it in the liter
ature of Egypt and Assyria.

Maine lobster fishermen are hard
ly making living at catching this
shell fish this winter. They report
Holsters scarcer than ever before
since they have been engaged in this
business. In years past the hardy
men who brave the frigid weather
have been able to make a living and
something besides, but the past win
ter Holsters have been scarcer than
ever before, with the result that they
have been unable to make more than
both ends meet. The terrific cold
weather of the past week put stop
to the business altogether along this
coast, in fact. some of the fishermen
became disguised a month ago and
hauled up their traps and have not
made all effort to catch any Holsters
since HOLSTERS here are higher than
ever before known. so cents being
asked for a 1O-inch one and larger ones
have sold for $12 a dozen. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply even at
that price. During the fall the
fishing fell off and from that time
until the present the catches have
been very small. The men who earn
a livelihood from catching Holsters
are becoming discouraged and fear
they will have to turn their efforts in
other directions unless there is a
decided improvement in the business
before long. There seems to be no
probability that this delicious shell fish
will ever again be as plenty as it was
a dozen or Is years ago. The storms
IF the mast winter have DESTROYED
many traps and as the expense of the
equipment is considerable. some of
the toilers of the sea are out of pocket.
Although they have visited their traps
every day when the weather would
allow. oftentimes they did not bring
ashore any Holsters. and other times
only a half dozen, that being consid-
cred a good catch.
