AN oLp FAsHIoNrp FAl.M

 Somebody has to wind tho clocks, And mend the locks, And tend the flOckr. Somebody has to do the chores That come by scores. Somebody has to spade and blow, And milk the COW, iDO you know hoW2) Somebody has to shear the sheep. And plant and reap. With little sleep
 That's Father. Somebody has to mend the socks. And starch the frocks. And clean the crooks. Somebody has to wash the floors, And dust the doors. Somebody has Co boil and bake, And make the cake, And fry the steak. Somebody has to buy things chcap. And wash and sweep, With little sleep
 That's Mother. Somebody has to moil and toll, And freeze or hroll. Somebody has Co look ahead. Sometimes with dread. Somebody has Co do the work lNo chance to shirk). And by and by. With one moro sigh. SomebOdy'll just lie down and die
 That's both of them.

At the Broadway.

Last night at the Broadway the Apollo brothers demonstrated to a crowded house that they are without doubt the heavyweight sack llttefs of the world. A number of local strong bows attempted to lift the bag but they were unsuccessful. The Bitgood brothers of Voluntown, who claim to be the strongest men in the world, sat in the audience to witness the trick performed and after seeing it declared that they could throw the bag over the moon, and will make their attempt tonight. On Friday night the consolation prizes are to be given away to those who make the best at- tempt. Dr. Bothland of the King Den tai parlors, after witnessing the per formance last night. in order to make it little more interesting for local athletes, deposited an additional $50, making a total of $100 to anyone who can carry the bag off stage on his back.

awakening showing all the skill OF Bel
gian binders must go. Key TO Heaven

It all came about by an American pub
fishing house failing to meet the provi-
sions of the copyright laws. The books
were returned by the appraiser at New
York as an illegal importation and the
Attorney General sustained the hold-up
Of the books, declaring that the prohibi-
ton against importations contained III
section 81 OF the act OF March 4 last ap-
plies to every American copyright in
book regardless OF the law under which
the copyright was obtained.

MAY REMAIN ON ROLLS.
Men of Same Names Likely to Sue
coed Deceased Representatives.

Although Representatives De Almond
of Missouri and Lasster OF Virginia are
dead. their names-their last names, that
is-probably will remain on the rolls of
the House. There is u good reason for
this. 1t is not unlikely that Mr.. De
Almonds son, father of little Waddy De
Almond. who was burned to death in his
grandfathers arms the other day, will
be candidate to succeed the veteran,
who for years was considered one of the
brilliant men of his party in the House.
If he decided to run it is believed he
has a good chance of winning. And it
is also probable that the vacancy caused
by the death Of Representative Lassiter
of Virginia will be filled by man of the
some name. brother of the deceased.
So the enrolling clerks of the House
are pretty nearly decided that they'd bet
ter have the names DE Almond and
'Lassiter' included In the rolls and add
the initials of the successors when their
credentials come in.
