THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

have completed canvass of the
town for homes for the delegates who
will be here attending the Conference.
The people have been very kind in
their responses in most cases. Some
few, was confidently expecting to
help entertain, are not situated so they
can. Some who are not really stu
ated so they can entertain, have agreed
to entertain oneyor two, even ii they
have to entertain them at the hotel.
| yet need about twenty more homes
and besides need about twenty-five
places for meals. in other words,
have rooms for bout twenty-five but
no place for them to take their meals
yet. Ii you are situated so you can
not entertain any one in the home,
will you not agree to pay the board
for the time during the conference of
one or two of these for whom we will
have to provide. Will not the young
men of the town agree to pay the
board at the boarding house for one?
See me and let mt know that you will
do this. If you prefer handing the
money to me to pay the board myself
of some one, do that and will make
The arrangements. The whole town
should be interested in the entertain
ing Of body Of this kind, and every
citizen ought to have a part in some
way in the entertaining OF the confer
ence. Already several have agreed
either to entertain one at the hotel or
hand the equivalent to me in money
and let me settle for the entertaining.
| hope to secure about twenty more
homes. Ifyou havn't already promised
to take some one, will you please let
me know how many you will take?

BACHELORS AND TEACHERS
BY Hi Perkins.

My poem last week. created quite q
sensation,
And the bachelors are filled with
indignation,
Some Of the teachers say. ! am much
10 blame
For how can you marry girl oft.
and not tell her name.
While the big boss teacher. Prof. j.
j. Higgins
Says am trying to break up his
school, and calls me muggins.
And the Judges of poetry read it with
scorn,
And say pets are not made. they
are just born.
Now you will see | am in quite a bad
FIX,
For everybody the poem touches,
just kicks.
But the general public, to whom |
appeal.
Say your poetry is original, the
kind you cant steal.
They say, 60 it Mai. Perkins, you
write with skill.
If the bachelors won't marry, they
must furnish fun for those who will
But my friends claim, am an un-
crowned poet,
Walking round in disguise, and
don't seem to know it.
Marriage is the chief concern of NOR
tails here below;
May you it's great importance
learn, it's sovereign virtue know.
Now you bachelors hurry up, and no
longer wait,
You don't seem to know on what
thin ice you skate.
For you, the whole town has much
concern,
But while the lamp holds out, the
vilest sinner may return.
And don't forget in solving the prob
lem of life
here is nothing hall so useful as
good kind wife.
And now ye maidens fair, seek you
each a mate,
And when the opportunity comes
don't procrastinate.
May life hold for each of you in COM
ing years
A great many joys and but few
tears.
Now | have given you all, advice the
very best
And it remains with you alone to
do the rest.
But job like this, I'll never again
undertake,
I'll Just let the bachelors and teach
ers their own matches make.
For you can plainly see I've stirred up |
a hornets nest,
So I'll retire from the stage and
take a little rest.
