that his tariff commission has not

And, cold upon her rosy prime,
Fell diref,ll autumn's frosty rime,-
Yet am not as one that grieves;
For well know DER sunny seas
The blue bird waits for April skies.

busy talking softly TO the voters. He
was much concerned about man

whats the matter with John?" the

"Aw, you can't tell nothin' about
John. colonel" was the assurance. "He
is the most flckle man you ever see.
Why, he has had religion so many
times, and been baptized in the creek
down here so often that the bullfrogs
know him every time he's 'mersed."
