Reflected Glory.

The softest occupation known is look
in like some famous man.
Induce old Horace Todd to work 1t
seems his family never can.
He used to be industrious until some
stranger happened in
And spoke about Todd's stately air,
his sober mien and visage thin,
Remindin' him Of great man. and
never since that fateful day
Has Horace done a single thing but
sit and look like Henry Clay.
Bohunkus Purdy had lock of hair
that hung down meath his hat:
King Of curl, and then he was bow
legged. some, and short and fat
A travelin' man said that he was a
ringer for a warrior bold
Who swept all Europe long ago and
turned crowned heads out in the
cold.
Bohunkus poses with his hand thrust
in his vest right DER his heart,
The only thing he does all day is
stand and look like Bonaparte.
Old Bushrod Perkins weighed a ton
and life was quite strenuous
game,
Before stranger came along and put
him on the road to fame
He always had to work before, and
folks were very apt to poke
A lot of fun about his size and call
him an upholstered joke.
But he's come to his own at last and
follows now no trade or craft.
Exceptin' just to hang around and
look like William Howard Taft.
The game is soft and easy, but the
man who gets most of the pelf
Is he who hustles right along and
looks like no one but himself.

Crosby Review: Representative
Hanna has recently introduced bill
to repeal the reciprocity act. While
Canada has rejected Laurier's pet
scheme, there is no certainty as to the
steadfastness of its present attitude.
The mercurial nature of provincial poll
itics suggest watchfulness of Ameri-
can interests, especially those of North
Dakota, and 1t is evident that Mr.. Han
ma intends to stand, as he always has,
shoulder to shoulder with the farmers
Of this state In upholding their rights.

gressive ideas in politics is the elimi-
nation of machine politics with the

B. Hanna's candidacy for the govern

thought of such move until it had

friends from all parts of the state. Mr..
Hanna had a snug berth in congress
