ARDEN.


y In a certain little village,
Far from crowded walks of men,
Where contentment reigns unbrolen,
Save for deaths hand now and then,
There's a perfume in the roses
Sweeter than all others are,
And the very skies are b1uer
Than in fairy lands afar.
There's a little church for worship
And tiny plot of graves,
Where THO flowers drop their petals
And the yellow broom-sedge waves;
Where a bell tolls in the steeple
When the Sabbath calls to rest
And the hills and wales are peaceful
AS in regions of the blest.
There's a little school where children
= Learn to fear the masters eye,
And the purest love is planted
= That will blossom, by and by.
Here and there a peaceful cottage,
Nestled in some shady lane,
Where the old oak trees are signing
And the birds sing a refrain.
Half a dozen stores are clustered
In the center of the town,
And a "city hall'' and court house
Where the lawyers win renown.
Never any care or trouble
Seems to hover round the spot,
But a smiling air of plenty
Rests upon each humble cot.
And the years flow on as softly
AS the ripple of a stream.
Where the firefiies dance in summer
And the water lilies dream.
If greenswiggles can't make man see
pollywoggles, there is nothing in the the
DRY of delirium tremens.
There is no girl so huggable as the
girl in furs." says the Bachelor. How
about the girl in peekaboo?

FRAUD.
He had the people fooled
They really thought him great,
But when their ardor cooled
They found he was a skate.
Mistakes like this aren't new,
AS all the records show.
Appearances will do
The trick down here below.
If we could strip some chaps
OF all the shams they wear,
Their lordly ways, perhaps
We'd find 1t hard to bear.
The moral Of my song
Is very quickly learned
Too many strut along
With fame they've never earned.
Just about the time a man begins to
learn what's what he dies.
A PRACTICAL POET.
There was a, man who wrote in rhyme
AS verse you couldn't tell it;
To half dozen magazines
He tried in vain to sell it.
One day he hit upon scheme
That surely was a winner
And now he's advertising pills
You take before your dinner.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press.
A mans honor can be pawned, but 1t
can never be redeemed.
A woman worries over chapped knees
as If everybody knew 1t.
Bad business is welcome to woman so
she can blame it for her husband being
cross.
When a girl is interested in a man she
is more afraid to let him know 1t than
other people.
A hard thing is to be as sincere as you
think you are as insincere as other peo-
pie think you are.

Down quilt ways he liked to walk
And with dainty maiden talk.
He chose the eafy month of June,
For all the world is then in tune.
Each summer when vacation came
He breathed another cherished name.
This thing went on for sevral years,
Until he'd had a dozen dears.
At last he wed a girl who makes
His life a round of pains and aches.
For tongue and temper she's fright
Now who won't say it serves him right?

Just a word regarding the result
of our late campaign over the
question of liquid refreshment.
The State has gone dry by a large
majority. Whether or not we are
pleased with the result, no matter
how we may have voted, when the
law goes into effect let us all do
what we we can, individually and
collectively to see that the law is
enforced in letter and in spirit.
Let us resolve to give prohibition
a fair, honest trial and see what
it will do. If the law results in
good to the people of the State we
want it to remain as it is, but if
it proves to be a farce, if we can
not enforce it, or if we see that it
is an injury instead of a blessing,
the people have the same right to
repeal the law as they had to
adopt it. Let us give it a fair
