Maine Gossip
A Discreet Daddy.

Is. E. Kiser. in Harper's Magazine for
March.)
My daddys always telling me
About how good he used to be;
He did what he was told to do.
And he was neat and tidy, too;
He learned his lessons every day,
And he would rather work than play;
But when my grandpa's visiting
With US, my daddy. If I'm bad,
Forgets to say single thing
About his goodness as a lad.
My daddy says he never told
fib or made his parents scold
Because he did things that were wrong;
He always tried to help along
By being good and kind and sweet
And eating what boys ought to eat
But when my grandma visits here
My daddy never boasts to me
About how good and sweet and dear
A little boy he used to be.
My daddy always took delight
In doing only what was right
When he was just about my size;
He wanted to be great and wise;
But when my grandpa comes and when
My grandmas here to visit, then
My daddy merely gives a wink
Or smiles. If I've been kind of wild,
And doesn't try to make us think
That he was once an angel child.

Game laws are necessary and have
to be made strict, in order that their
full value and meaning be recognized
by those the least hit inclined to evade
them. Some no doubt think they are

the reason given by provision

which is no reason all, because
there is no demand abroad fer
provisions, or, rather, there is no

Taking Calomel means stay

constipation or biliousness hits
you, there's no need to take a
dose Of calomel and spend at
least a day getting over the eff

which they guarantee takes the
place of calomel and starts a

Dodson's Liver Tore does all
good that calomel can do, yet it
is absolutely harmless to young
people and old. It is pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid that will
relieve constipation or sour stom-

along with a lazy liver, without
restriction of habit or diet. You
don's leave off any of the things
you regularly do when you take
