trouble with reference to the loca-

talked of or thought OF other than
locating a bath house where the
water is, especially when the min

one Of the most beautiful groves in

going to the expense and consuming
the time of piping this water mile
and half to a place where the
temperature is from 10 to Is de-
grees hotter. Highland park is a
beautiful place, but there is no
water. Water is needed in a bath
house. A gentleman who lives right
near Highland park, says, But we

should be considered. Real estate
located at Highland park will grow
in value faster with the bath house

All, sweetheart mine, dost thou
remember, love,
How in the mazes of the dance wed
move
In younger days?
Thy face was fairer than Venus
face.
And now, tho gray'd with years,
| mind thy grace
And winsome ways.
Twas in the sinuous dance | met
thee first,
In subtler courtship, love, was not
versed
When we were young.
But as held thee in my trembling
arms,
Methought nowhere could man e'er
find such charms
All maids among.
And now, sweetheart. we've brayed
the storms of years
Both hand in hand and shared our
hopes and fears
Thru good or i'll.
And as | gaze into thy fading eyes
see the secret of Paradise
My sweetheart still.
