s"wAs noon. A dreamy August
heat
Pervaded all the village street
- The horses dozed upon their feet.
The people dozed as we'll.
4 drowsy note the locust sang.
When clear and slow with vibrant clang
From out the lime washed belfry rang
The booming fire bell:
"Come Deluge One! Come. Torrent Three!
Come. OLD Niagara. brave and free!
Come. fire lads of each degree
Where duty calls and fame!
Come one. come all! Come friends. come
foes!
Come, Water Witch and Neptune Hose!
Oh. come! Across the river glows
Judge Bascom's place. afiame!"
Now. "Fi-urr Fi-urr!" urchins cried.
The village clamored; horses SHE'D.
The clerkly pen was cast aside;
The hammer down was flung.
How swiftly donned were shirts Of red!
His leathern helmet upon his head.
How gallantly each hero sped
To man his engine tongue!
Then. swept along by shouting bands.
On every rope score Of hands.
The foreman blaring wild commands
With sundry oaths belize
Black Deluge with her seasoned crew,
Green Water Witch. all painted new,
And Old Niagara. tried and true,
Game roaring down the pike.
Brave Old Niagara. our boast.
And ever first when needed most,
We bumped her through the painting host
With lusty heave and tug.

We Jumped" the Neptune on the run
And. barely passing Deluge One.

How to Fluff the Hair.

Hair in the dog days is tryingly fiat
and stringy. 1t can be huffed and
made to stand out we'll from the head
even without curling by brushing it
with an outward twist of the wrist
that lifts the hair up from the scalp.
For this brushing divide the hair into
strands and go over the head in a cir
Gle; then begin farther up and continue
until all the hair has been lifted and
lightened
If this style Of brushing is kept up
daily or even several times week the
straightest and stringiest hair soon be-
comes dry and easy to puff out from
the face.

Experience has shown that peoples

coalition on the part OF self-Seekers, by
loG-rolling. trading and dickering of every
description, that these unmerCllul eXaC

those who have been commissioned to
put an end TO them cannot work in har-

abandoned.
Most Democratic Senators do not need

The Great Panama Canal.

Comparing the Suez Canal with the

concrete measure Of the service rendered
bv the Panama Canal will be the ton
mage of ships that use the waterway.
This can be forecast with fair degree of
certainty, because it is possible to ascer-
tain how much traffic now moves by
routes that would be abandoned in favor
Of the canal route. and it is easy to find
out how fast this available canal traffic is
increasing. The history of the Suez

New York has had its troubles with

that extreme step, cannot banks that are
