"FISHING.r

This is my notion of fishing
When the suns north of the line;
Ideal angling I'm wishing,
Catching is not my design.
When the suns north of the line,
Casting is too much like working
Catching is not my design;
Labor is what I'm Sinking.
Casting is too much like working;
I'd rather loaf in the shade.
Labor is what am Sinking;
Fishing for pleasure was made.
I'd rather loaf in the shade,
Where the brown waters are

Fishing for pleasure was made
Fishing, and loafing and dreaming.
Where the brown waters are gleam-

Under the whispering pines,
Fishing, and loafing, and dreaming
These are the true fishing lines.
Under the whispering pines,
Wreaths from my pipe there as
cending.
These are the true fishing lines,
Gracefully curling and blending.
Wreaths from my pipe there ascend

This is the fishing | prize,
Gracefully curling and blending,
Melting away in blue skies.
This is the fishing I prize,
This is the soul felt satisfaction,
Melting away in blue skies
Nirvana-perfect inaction.
This is the soul satisfaction,
Never a thought nor a care,
Nirvana-perfect inaction,
Famed by the spirits of air.

NOTHING LIKE BEING CAUTIOUS.

My boy said the editor of the
Rillsvil1e Bugle to the new reporter,
you lack caution. You must learn
not to state things as facts until they
are proved to be facts; otherwise yea
are very apt to get us into libel suits.
DO not say the cashier who stole the
funds say, the cashier who is alleged
to have stolen the funds That's all
pow, and-ah-turn in a stickful about
that Second ward social last night. |"
Owing to an influx of visitors it
was late in the afternoon before the
genial editor of the Bugle caught a
glimpse of the great family daily. Half
way down the social column his eyes
ut on the following cautious para
graph:
1T is rumored that card party
was given last evening to a number
OF reputed ladies of the Second ward.
Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the hos
tsss, and the festivities are reported
TO have continued until 1920 in the
evening. 1t is alleged that the affair

Senator Root has been attracting
attention as a presidential possibility
end without doubt his candidacy will
find considerable favor. The senator
is probably one of the best equipped
men mentally in the country to-day.
In the meantime Senator Sherman is
effectively lining up his fences in the
West. We have a bunch that next year
is going to be republican year and
that a western man will be chosen
TO lead the party on to victory. Just
put this down for a prophecy.

was a social function given to the la
dies OF the Second ward cinch club,
and that, with the exception of Mrs.
James Bilwiliger, none but members
were present. The reputed hostess
insists that coffee and waters alone
were served as refreshments. The
Smith woman claims to be the wife of
John Smith, the so-called Honest
Shoe Man, of 315 East State street"

was a dull, sickening thud.-Puck.

Lancaster has suffered pretty Sc
verely from power and light failure
In the last week or so and perhaps
no one feels the failures more keenly
that the people who use motors and
depend upon constant power for their
successful operation. The electric
company claim that the failures are
due to conditions that they will gradu-
ally overcome and in the course of
time eliminate. We hope so, for the
days that presses could be turned
by a strong ARM" are long since
past.

This weeks exchanges announce
the change in ownership of two week
ly papers in the nearby field. The
CaSsyille Record passes back into the
hands of its former owner, Mr.. ]. M.
Klauer, and MIR. C. d. Budworth re-
tires. Mr.. Budworth has run very
live little paper for the past year, and
demonstrated his ability as newspa-
Per man. We wish Mr.. Klauer every
success. Another change of import
ance is the passing of the DOdgeville
Sun-Republic from the hands of James
A. Orrock & Son, to G. |. Trace, of
st. Paul, Mimi. The Sun has improv-
ed under the Orrock management, and
Dir. Trace should have very good
property. We extend our heartiest
best wishes to the new owner, and ap-
plaud his resolution in coming to such
q good country as southern Wisconsin.

Efficiency, personal efficiency OF
the highest kind, is required to-day
from the man who wants to succeed.
Success doesn't necessarily mean that
q man has accumulated a stack of
dollars, although success generally
means competency which is all most
people desire or care for. To do a
thing well requires effort and applica-
ton of the highest type and this means
physical well being and proper train
ing. The parent who doesn't recog-
rize this pretty near marks his child
for failure unless the child is funda-
mentally capable of working things
out for itseIf-which is rare.

The fact that our fair came out
nearly even and broke all records for
exhibits and novel entertainment,
should convince us that it is worth
trying again on even a larger scale.
Just as sure as shooting" nice wealth

iters who did come will all be back
next year with their friends. With
good weather it will be big success.

"HOW Soon We Are Forgot When We
Are Gomez"
washington Letter in Dell Rapids
Times Tribune.)

washington Letter in Dell Rapids
Times-Tribune)
Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, was once
a famous secretary of the treasury,
but when he visited Washington few
days ago he was so forcibly impressed
by the way he was not observed that
he related an experience of former
Senator Ingalls, as illustrating his own
fall from favoritism at the hands of
tickle Miss Fame. Mr.. Shaw said a
man slapped ingalls, on the back, and
he turned to recognize former col
league in the senate. I'm surely glad
to see you, said the Kansan, ''for I've
been in Washington two days and not
another soul has spoken to me-" Shaw
went over the treasury, introduced
himself to one of the assistants, and
the latter showed him his own por-
trait; and standing before it the for
mer cabinet member was reminded
that Uncle Sam had actually given
him a little place in a permanent
niche.
