THE TALK OF THE DAY.

When the half million gallons OF. mo!asse9
from the collapsed warehouse IN Ne" VI
leans began TO invade Lake Pontchartrain
the fishes and shrimps might have greeteu
It as "eau douce," but when 1t began 70
Kill them their sentiments might have been
expressed more emphatically in EnBlsh py
the same words, with the interpoiauoh Vi
the defnne article.
But why did this man murder MS VIE n,e6 q.
There you go! This young man UeIVnes

He never murdered anybody petore' ne
once gave a nickel to a blind Deggar, anu

A man who signed himself zone of Them
wrote to his family a few days ago from
a. New Hampshire resort: "Oadly people
who 20 10 tn boudteds Id subber, after
goldedrod bloobs, know how bany OF US

of the various colonies will rejoice over
the announcement I'm THE Denver Medl-

from "the pollen from plants Of the soll-
dago or ambrosia species, including worm
wood and goldenrod," has been produced
which is said TO be a preventive and cure

AS we grow old time faster flies,
The weeks seem scarcely more than days
And like a ship almost complete
We soon shall glide adown the ways;
IJfe's pleasure far outweighs its Ills,
For when our aching hearts are rlven
Time heals the wound and soothes the mind
AS other joys to US are given.
Although old age creeps on apace,
With failing strength and waning powers,
We cling to life with desperate grasp
The while we watch the feeting hours;
And memory looks with backward gaze
Along the lengthy road we've run,
And sees with childhoods eyes the spot
Where tiresome race was first begun.

wishing TO reflect on the child's honesty
anv more than little beggaP would have
indicated tho child's poverty. The word Is
really 'spitzbube,' and when one uses II
with the final to describe person ne
probably has some doubt as to the honesty
OF the one referred to-
