Terrifying Threat.

A Kentucky politician tells of a
certain justice Of the peace in a lit
tie town of a remote district. While
he was the only Republican in the
region, yet he happened by some
freak of fortune to hold his office.
Finally, however, at a time of in
tense political excitement, it was
determined to turn him out and to
substitute a Democrat. The ballot
was about to be cast when the JUS
tice appeared upon the scene, init
mating that he desired to make
short speech. This permission being
accorded, he mounted a barrel and
delivered himself of the following:
Fellow citizens Il sees plainly
what's goin' on around here. I've
been a justice of the peace here
goin' on twenty years, an good
many times I've saved some Of you
from goin' to the penitentiary. Now
you're tryin' to put me out of office.
But l want to tell you this: I've
got the Constitution and the laws of
the state right here in my pocket.
an just as sure as you turn me out
Of office I'll burn 'em up, an we'll go
to ruin togetheri"

OCCASIONAL.

God Of our fathers, known of Old
Lord Of our far-fung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hoM
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God Of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands thine ancient sscrihce,
An humble and a contrite heart,
Lord God OF Hosts, be with us set,
Lest we forget-Iest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headline sinks the fire
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge Of the nations, spare US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight Of power, we
loose
Wild tongues that have not thee
in awe
Such boasting as the gentfles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget[lest We forget:
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant rust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not thee to
guard
For frantic boast and foolish word.
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord!
Amen

Variations of Love,

Into telegraph office in an East
ern town there recently came a much
agitated young woman. She wrote
upon one telegraph blank, tore it in
halves, wrote second, which she
treated in the same manner, and at
last a third. This she handed to the
operator, requesting, in a trembling
voice, that he hurry it up
The operator obeyed instructions.
and when the young woman had gone
he read the two messages that she
had torn in halves.
The first was:
All Is over. l never wish to see you
again.
The second read.
Do not write or try to see me at
present.
And the third ran:
Can you take the next train? Please
answer-Lipplncott's.
