 Ewer, who comes from Portland, Ore has no opportunity to play in that city, but belongs to the Chicago club, where he learned the game.
 Business engagements made Profess sor Jacobus leave on Saturday with one game unplayed.

Put Away the Hammer.

(From the Druggist Journal)
Put the hammer in the locker,
Hide the sounding board likewise; I;
Anyone can be a "knocker,'
Anyone can criticise.
Cultivate q manner winning
Though II hurts your face to smile,
And seems awkward in beginning,
Be a booster" for a while.
Let the Blacksmith do the pounding,
He's the one who draws the pay,
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop boost into the slot,
And I'll warrant you'll get action
For your effort on the spot
Boosting" every time beats knock
ing"
Mirth is better than frown;
Don't waste time in picking defects
In the fellow when he's down.
And II isn't so distressing,
II you give little boost"
"To the fellow fate is pressing,
When the chicks come home to
roost." Anon II.

The Bridge of Lnckeen


One day as | stood at the bridge of
Luckeen,
Above the bright water all glancin
an green,
There strayed down the path from
the top of the pass
Such slim little, prim little, trim
little lass.
"Oho!" then quoth I, and "Aha.''
murmured she.
With as pretty a curtsy as ever you d
see
Wont you pause?" inquired; 81
don't mind" said her mien,
So We looked. side by side, from the
bridge Luckeen.
How the minutes flew by, an the
stream how 1t flowed,
While never a soul came along by
the road;
An ! thought her eyes sweeter than
Maeve ever knew,
An she deemed me far bolder than
Brian Boru!
There's priest that ties knots, SO the
KNOWN ones say.
In a neat little church in the town of
Glenbeigh;
If he'll tie just one more, I'll be
thin, | ween.
If there's luck anywhere. there is luck
at Luckeen!
