Why?

Nowhere the sun shines half so bright,
As in Virginiai
Nowhere are hearts half so light,
AS in Virginial
And when bid my friends adieu,
Let my farewell be to you
A tie that binds our friendship true,
Down in Virginia.
Nowhere the willows grow so fine,
As in virginia.
Or grapes hang so full upon the vine,
AS in Virginia.
So while the world is going round,
Just use your eyes and IN be bound
You'll never crave another town
Beyond Virginia.
Now should you have sweetheart true,
Down in Virginial
With dark brown hair and eyes of blue,
Down in VirginiaI
Just give your friends good glad hand,
That they some day may understand
Just why you love this happy land,
Our dear Virginia.

THE FLY.

AT this season of the year it is that
the lately gay and festive fly grows
melancholy and broods over his troubles.
He suffers with cold feet, and no doubt
his crooked little joints are rheumatic.
Perhaps too the countless bacteria that
form his daily diet cause indigestion,
and he has no prospect of pension in
his old age. All things considered the
fly has rather hard time of it and
feels the lack of sympathy greatly. He
is constantly hindered in the pursuit of
life. liberty and happiness and makes
surprisingly few friends in travelling
through this vale of tears. He trans
mits typhoid through his feet. He can
carry thousands of bacilli on each foot,
and if he lights on food and the food is
eaten disease is apt to follow. The fiy
does not wipe his feet, and there is
no use in trying to train him to do so.
The only resource is to get rid of him
entirely. All careful housekeepers
have their windows and doors screened
but this is valuable largely as a matter
of comfort; it does not go to the root ot
the trouble. The flies infest butcher
shops and grocery stores, and we shall
never be immune until we attack tn,
fly as an enemy of society. However
We credit him with good intentions ant
can at least say that he is an industriou,
creature and certainly makes and leave,
his mark wherever he goes.

Oklahoma law makes it felony to
point gun at any one, even if in fun,
or not loaded. Goodl It's the gun aimed
just for fun that goes off nearly every

1t is stated as fact that some of the
New York churches have pews with
small mirrors in the backs so that ladies
kneeling can see themselves and ascer-
tain if their hats are on straight.
AS to guaranteed deposits, one thing
is certain, that no run on such banks
could possibly occur, for no one would
feel unsafe. As many bank has been
wrecked by an unfounded alarm spread
as to its safety. the guarantee would
protect it as no other means possibly
could.

true nature when intoxicated But, as
the Washington Herald suggests, il
would be rather hard on the poor fellow
who never drank to impose this ordeal
on him.

we will drink artesian water-it comes

that way it is believed by some that the
sulphur used by "Old Nick" is sufficient

now los years old, takes cold bath
every morning and has, so she states,
for 100 years. She says that cold baths
and non-wearing of corsets have kept
her well. AT her advanced age her hair
is still abundant and only slightly gray,
and she does not use glasses, as she is
totally blind. She walks mile daily,
climbs three flights of stairs to her room
nightly, eats three square meals day,
and takes her cold baths unassisted.
She says that she is the only living
woman who was kissed by Gen. Lafay-
cite. The incident occurred on the steps
of the city hall eighty-four years ago.
