With just some crackers and some CAPS

And singin' paterotic songs,
Which. you know. amt no scream.

- This sane and safe old gag.
He didn't see no fun at all
Just caps and chew the rag.
So Bills now in the hospital,
And grandpa took me there
To see the orful state Of Bill,
Who got blowed up fer fair.
HE had two fingers off one hand.

One eye all BACKED. three toes c,ean gone
And bruises all about
I'm busted. Tom." he said. with pain.

And makes the swampy places

Around his big tassoon:

The angry katydid awakes

THE DREAMERS.

THE gypsies passed her little gate.
= She stopped her wheel to see
A brown faced pair who walked the road,
Free as the wind Is free.
And suddenly her tidy room
A prison seemed to be.
HER shining plates against the walls,
Her sunlit, sanded floor,
The brass bound wedding chest that held
Her linens snowy store.
The very wheel whose humming died,
Seemed only chains she bore.
CHE watched the foot free gypsies pass.
~ She never knew or guessed
The wistful dream that drew them close,
The longing in each breast
To some day know home like hers,
Wherein their hearts might rest.

Y HEARD the walls of grief and

When Priam's walls were wrapt
u in flame
I stood within the Forum place
When Vandal ak and Gothic mace
Battered the pride from Caesars
face;
When Plaques foul legions filed
the Seine
With corpses and bestank the plain
OF France from Paris to Lorraine;
When Flanders fell before the siege
That made a Spanish fiend her
liege:
When werewolves wrought guillo-
tine
For Louis and his fragile queen
Twas who staged anew the scene,
Twas who wiped away the scars
And set the heavens fresh with
stars.

A reception was given to the
new members and their hus-
bands, at the Methodist church
Friday evening. A very inter
esting program was given. The
first number was a song by the
W. G. T. U. A Cornet Quartet
Prof. Bilden deserves special
praise for the manner in which
he expresses his public spirit,
by always so kindly assisting in
musical programs. Our Presi-
dent, Mrs. Cole, gave a scripture
reading, followed by a prayer by
Rev, Hitchcock.
Mrs. Warren sang, in a very
sweet manner, Rock Me to
Sleep Mother and was heartily
encored. i.
Readings we're given oy Mrs.
Cassell and Mrs. Wheeler.
Songs by the Misses Gullick
son and Horstman.
A song by Rev. Moore, which
was rendered in a pleasing man
ner.
AT the close Of the program
slips were passed, on which
were written some very inter
esting conundrums. Rev.
Hitchcock and Miss Olive Cole
received first prize for the most
correct answers, and Mrs. Cole
received the consolation prize.
Miss Coles brightness may
be attributed to alexander
Cambyses Fischer, WAY back

cause she sat near Mr.. Brown.
Covers were laid for a hundred

in culinary art.
The decorations were dainty
white bows, ferns and daffodils,
whose beauty and fragrance
gave US the glad thought the
green will soon be back in the
trees" At twelve the guests
departed, trusting the song so
we'll rendered by the Misses
Gullickson and Horstman would
prove true and 1920 find us a
saloonless nation.
