Could Be Sensible.

"No, sir" said the man with the
happy face, you bet my wife doesn't
squeeze her feet into shoes two sizes
too small just to make her feet look
little and cute"
''Indeed?" we ask, in surprise.
And she doesn't lace her waist
until she can hardly breathe. and un.
til her digestion is ruined"
MOI"
NO And she doesn't smear pow
der, and paint on her face, or daub
her eyebrows with black stuff. or pour
dye on her hair. Not a bit of it."
she is a sensible woman, them"
You bet. But she isn't the kind
of sensible woman you are thinking
about-dumpy, bigfooted, with her
hair pulled back so tight she can't
wink her eyes. My wife, sir, has a
perfect complexion, and marvellous
hair, and beautiful figure and foot
that calls for size / shoe on the
slimmest last. That's why she can
be sensible and pretty both at
once"

PIPE MAGIC.

Written for the Winslow Mail.
When the evening shadows
gather,
And the shades ofnight appear,
When the stars begin to glimmer
And the drowsy time is near,
Then get down my briar,
Fill and pack its smooth brown
bowl;
Slow the smoke wreaths Drift
and eddy,
And contentment fills my soul.
Mid the fragant clouds ofinsence,
l sit and dream of long ago,
Fancies. follies. fads and faces;
Other SCIENCES l used to know,
And when the pipe is burning
Far down towards it's end;
The smoke clouds in the moon
light,
Seem to frame a winsome face;
lndistinct, elusive,
Alluring dainty grace;
Little comrade, how l miss you,
And the days we used to know,
Gone drifting into distance,
AS my melting smoke curls go.
Still I've left me this one solace;
! can see you DER and DER.
When the days toll all is over,
And evening comes once more;
Enchanted by the magic
That my old briar holds in
store.
The years have fallen from me,
And ! see you, dear, once more.

Caught With the Goods

The republicans succeeded in
deluding enough democrats last
fall by their deceptive cry and a
promise of statehood to secure
the election of Ralph Cameron

make good on single promise
made last year, the republicans
have been caught with the

in Arizona next year by the larg-

that we read become our thoughts,
and make the very texture Of the
mind
During the last few months the at
tention Of the American people has
been aroused to the consideration of
pure and impure foods This agitation
has done good. for with the abundance
of good food there is little excuse for
using any lood Which is harmful, The
time has come when the American
family must give better attention than
in the past to another matter-the
choice between good and bad reading.
We have read enough about wicked
ness in both public and private life
too many stories of criminal transas
tions; too much about the evil and not
enough about the good in life.
Let us have the bright and clean
side of our American life only. Let
us read stories Of heroes who are
both brave and noble, and not vulgar

Of the press is to help the reader, not

THE NEW LEADER OF THE DEM.
OCRATS IN CONGRESS.

You have probably never heard of
a gentleman by the name of James
Beauchamp Clark. But drop the
first name and the first half of the
second name and you have a cogno-
men left-Champ Clark-that is toll
erably familiar to most of us. If not,
it will soon become so, for the gen
tleman with that abbreviated appela-
ton is now the leader, on the floor
of congress, of the democrats mi
nority. John Sharp Williams, who
has been the leader of the minority,
has been elected to the senate. He
does not take his seat there for some
time to come, but he has already
yielded the post of a leader to his
successor. AS the president-elect has
declared his intention of calling an
extra session of congress Immediately
upon his Inauguration, for the pur-
pose of revising the tariff, we may
soon see the two parties in congress
back upo ntheir old historic battle
field, with Champ Clark leading one
of the armies. He will have great
chance to reunite the erstwhile bro
ken democracy with the old banners
and the old war cries, to open up a
new future for the party, and if sue
cessful, to make himself its national
leader.-Current Literature (Janu-
ary).
