n Classical View Of Politics as they are

In Butler town was a newspaper,
In politics, Of Republicans, a maker(?)
II boosted a man called At,
And always stood pat
Saying; any other candidate is a fake, Sir!
A paper called the Republican Press,
To elect AT. was doing It's best,
Along came Mister Hales,
The RIP. gave a wall,
The August primary will tell the rest.
In Butler lives a man named Wix,
To get the post-ofice put in good ticks;
He badly beat the ring,
And now they daily sing:
Amt we in a most.awful fix.
Butler has an editor named Funk,
Who writes political dope in chunks
At Hales he was sore
And so declared war,
But finally he quit and aunked.

twenty minutes before service and
tackled the verger, sedate and dlgni-

explained slowly and courteously that
the service would begin in twenty min

as that to show anybody round the ca
thedral; that no one could be shown
around during service and that after
service the cathedral would be closed
for the day as far as sightseeing went.
"Oh, but | don't want to spend an
hour or even half an hour In going
around. just want to hurry through"
said the visitor. "Ten minutes Is quite

physician who was always ready to

The origin of the fleur-de-lis Is still
an unsettled question. There are many
theories, but no two of them agree
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l.. another with Louis VII, an
other with one of the German kings
of the twelfth century and still anoth
er with the Romans. All that Is def
nitely settled is the fact that since the
twelfth century the fleur-de-lis has
been employed as the emblem of
French royalty The nature of the en-
biem Is also In dispute. An old tradi-
tion makes it the representation of the
lily given by the angel to Clovis at his
baptism. Another theory Is that 1t was
