eeThe Spirit of The Times"

The following timely little
piece OF poetry was found on
tie street the other day and
handed to the editor of the pa
per, and considering the SUBJECT,
which is very good, we take the
liberty to publish the tme and
Will return the original copy of
the same to the author If he or
she will call at the Mail office.
You may sit alone and ponder
On the days now past and
gone,
And of the the things you once
considered
Made of hte one long sweet
song.
You may have fond recollections
OF the times of long ago,
When you built some great air
castles
AS the older you did grow;
But alas, as years pass over
Human kind both great and
small,
Well agree that just the present
Is the best time, after all.
And as we gaze into the future,
Though it brings US good or i'll,
Let us give our thanks to Heav'n
That our friends are with US
VA al, see they's quite rum
Coin on in this here place
Everybody wants an office
Sos to help the human race.
Some says statehood's just the
CdpSl
Fer us folks to stick up fer,
While the bosses and their party
Doodle, graft and slush prefer.
Now, I've lived down in this
country
Coin on to forty year,
An it shore does make me tired
Hearin' folks get up an cheer
For set of office seekers
Who're against the statehood
bill,
And the recall of the judges,
Like my great big fat trend
Bill.
But I'll bet that when December
With its 10Th day comes round
What we'll do will make fat Billy
Like ground hog hunt the
ground.
For, although he put a veto
On this state of ours, so fair,
Well just vote to beat all
thunder,
And put Billy in the air.

hence the state executives naturally
r placing great dependence upon
what the exhibit cars and moving
pictures show.
Through the courtesy of Louis W.
Hill, president Of the Great North

lures Of the governors party, which
are taken in each city. are sent on
ahead to be produced in the various
vaudeville houses. so the governors
themselves as well as the public may
see them.
All records have been broken for
attendance in the exhibit cars since
they left st. Paul. In Buffalo $500
people passed through the cars in a
single day. Altogether more than
1000 persons have viewed the ex-
htbits thus far on the eastern expedi-

serve as a discipline to Pickering for
his action in signing statements to the
effect that he had never used his ath-
