Little Bobbie S Pa
By WILLIAM r. KIRK.

When she loosens her hair on her
sholders
1t is as night coming across the hills.
When the north wind blows l tremble,
When the south wind blows l fear,
fear lest they take her from me,
She is so delicate. so fragile,
Her skin is briter than the diamond,
Her dress is Of silk q gold,
Her bracelets are of fine gold,
She hath jewels in her ears,
But her eyes. what jewels can compare
with them?
Tsent that wunderful? sed Alice.
1t doesn't jingel, I sed. Anybody can
rite stuff like that
You cuddent sed Alice.
OF course, | cud. I sed. So this is
the poem that l rote about Alice &
she got mad. l sed:
Your face is shaped oval,
You have two eyes. colored blue,
They are on a line with the tops OF
yure ears.
Yure mouth is under yure nose b
Yure nose Is turned UP from it.
All Of yure teeth are white except 2,
Thay are Of fine gold.
Your dress is a kimono OF calico;
You have on two 90 slippers.

x UPON THE SAND Il
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

A LII love that has not friendship for its base
"A Is like a mansion built upon the sand
Though brave its walls as any in the land.
And it's tall turrets lift their heads in grace;
Though skilful and accomplished artists trace
Most beautiful designs every hand,
And cleaning statues in dim inches stand
And fountains play in fow'r-hidden place.
Yet when from the frowning east sudden gust
OF adverse fate is blown, sad rains fall
Day in, day out, against its yielding wall,
10! the fair structure crumbles to dust
Love- to endure lifes sorrow and earth's woe,
Needs friendships solid masonwork below.

Household SuggestionS

When cold irons are first placed on the
gas the surface becomes quite wet. and
if allowed to dry causes the iron to be
rough; but if, when the irons have been
on a few seconds, they are taken on
and wiped with a buster they will re-
main quite smooth and will heat much
more clearly than at a fire.
Hair brushes should not be cleaned with
not water and soap, as this softens the
bristles. Use soda, dissolved in cold
water. as the soda will remove the
grease and dirt. Do not dry in the sun
or by the fire. but stand on the handle
in the shade to dry.

Now it appears that Sullivan was
threatening to produce the affidavit
as far back as April %.
Also, before Coan testified today,
Sullivan was asked what he had to
say about an interview given by
o'Hara to the morning papers, in
which o'iara said that he, Sullivan,
had threatened to ruin him.
"If Lieut.-GoV. 0'Hara says
threatened to ruin him If he carried
on the vice investigation in SPRING
field, he lied" was all Sullivan would
say in answer.
Now Sullivan will have to prove to
the senate that he not only did not
threaten to ruin O'Hara, but that he
did not also threaten to put the ens
tire low wages commission out Of
business.
The charges in the affidavit now in
the hands Of the senate managing
committee still are being kept secret.
It is understood, however, that they
are that o'Hara took a Springfield
woman from Springfield1to Chicago
and that the affidavit is signed BY
