The speaker of the English house Of

lively modern times that the speaker

Like sad Prometheus fastened TO the rock,
In vain he looks for pity to the clock,
In vain the effects OF strengthening porter

And mods to Belamy for fresh supplies.
Manners were somewhat looser In
those days than they are now. Pitt
himself on one occasion showed signs
Of too coplous llbatlon to the gods,

Too Much Obstruction

Editor Review: Last Sunday at
the M. +. church in the afternoon,
Memorial Services were held in hon
or of the men who went out in the
Cos to hold up the honor of
our flag and keep the nation
from being rent in twain. There
was a good number of C. A. Rand
w. r. c. there to hear the story
that has been told so often and we
hope it may always be told in as
glowing terms to the youth of our
land as 1t was last Sunday. But
l could not help but think if our
boys in blue would have had to
shoot at the enemy through so much
straw and feathers as those who
sat on the rear seats were obliged
to try to look through in order to
see the speaker, they never
would have hit a man. Hoping
this may help at some future gath
ering, when the house is crowded,
so the people in the rear may be
able to see, am yours truly,
