I'm asked to write little jlnglel
In memory of old man Pringle..
In writin' epithets, you see,
here amt no one got mich on me-,
4he grayeyard's full of my best verse
You might go further and do worse.
a PERSONS virtues I'll rehash
And only ask half down in cash.
Old Pringle lies beneath this stone,
For many years he lived alone,
But when they knew that he would die
Tie relatives all.ralIied nigh,
For he .qultesa lot of dough
and this the relatives did know.
He was the querest of old chaps;
He's gone to hisreward-perhaps.
The lawyer says that Euphemia
might have said a.litle more about
Pringle and little less about herself
on the tombstone, but ne will try to
win the case for her nevertheless
Rem Binks, our station agent down
to the railrud depot who resigned his
Job seven years ago, is still waitln' for
somebody to be sent to take his place.
He dassent go away and leave the
place for fear somebody might want
to buy a ticket to go somewhere or
that a telegram might come for some
body and that would be takin' a mean
advantage Of the railrud company.
Rem has forgot what he got mad at
the company for but he remembers
that he was purity gol dlnged mad and
he amt got over 1t yet. He expects
to so into some other line of business
as soon as he is relieved OF his duties
down to the railrud depot.

years ago, has returned with a fine au.

THE WTTCH,s FAILURE.

Under a chestnut tree was
sleeping the blacksmith baby
daughter. A witch on her way
to market stopped to admire the
pretty babe, but the child was
frightened and began to cry. That
made the witch angry and she
laughed horribly, saying: "I'll
leave gift for you. When you
grow into a young lady your
first sutton shall be stricken
blind" ana away she vanished.
OF course as the child grew OIL
der she had few friends, though
indeed she was one Of the sweet
est and most beautiful of girls.
All young men avoided her, so
afraid were they of being made
blind.
At last, however, a king out
hunting in the forest passed the
blacksmith's home and saw the
girl sitting at her wheel spinning.
He stood entranced at her beauty
and dismounting from his horse
came over to the window. He
asked her to marry him and go
to his palace to i've. No sooner
had he said these words than
there was a clap of thunder, ter
rible laughter and he was STRIFE
ken blind.
Long and loud wept the girl
and all the kings retainers and
servants. Suddenly, to everyones
surprise. the spinning wheel be-
gan to turn and sing queer
tune, saying;
In the heart of the rose
A magic charm CLOVIS
If this charm you can find
Twill give sight to the blind.
A drop of clear dew
Makes clouded eyes new
This magic charm glows
In the heart of the rose.
At once every lady set out
searching for the red roses. The
maiden was the first to find them
and bring the healing dew to the
king, whose sight was restored by
the first drop.
You may be sure the spinning
wheel stood in a place of honor
at the castle. In fact pictures
of 1t were craven on the shields
of the kings warriors as a coat
of arms,
