II went one night with my high
priced thirst to loaf in the booze ba-
zaar, and as / sampled the old red
dope / leaned on the handsome bar
My purse was full OF the good lone
green and my raiment was smooth
and new, and / looked slick as a
cabbage rose that's kissed by the nice
wet dew. Behind the bottles mir
ror stood, as large as your parlor
floor, and l looked and looked in the
shining glass, and wondered and
looked some more. My own reeflec-
ton did not appear, but there whert
it should have been, ! saw the form
of a cringing bum all crumpled and
soaked with gin. His nose was red
and his eyes were dim, unshorn was
the swollen face, and l thought it
queer such a seedy bore would come
to so smooth place. i turned
round for better look at this effigy
in despair, and nearly fell in little
heap for the effigy wasn't there!
The barkeeper laughed. Its magic
glass;" he said with a careless yawn,
it shows a man how he's apt to
look years hence when his roll is
done! Walt. Mason.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of reputable citizen living
right at home, one whom you can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

Glenwood Paper Scores Officers.

In connection with their work on the
bank robbery case the officers of the
town and county have been roasted to
dark brown turn by almost every
paper in the county and by at least
ninety per cent of the population of

thing that has been handed them. But
so far as our people in this immediate
nothing better. When five officers will
allow a drunken old cripple to delibe-

stick, the confidence of the public is
badly shattered thereafter in those
officials. .-Glenwood Post.
