THE PICNIC

And every year they hold the
 thing, At what is known as Eaves'
 Spring. That rule is just a splendid
 thing, At least us folks all felt that
 way, While we were there the other
 day. Now if that place you wish to
 seek, You'll find it out on Dota creek, A splendid place, l write it
 down, Three miles or more from New
 ark town. There limped waters flush and
 flow, While on their banks wild
 flowers grow. And far and near there may
 be seen, Soft spots of grass like car
 pets green. On forest trees the green vines
 elings Within their branches wild
 birds sing, As near their base the brook
 lets flow, And through their shades the
 SouthWinds blow. Near to the spring there is a
 hill, And up it climbed both Jack
 and Jill, Full of fun and laughter; But on the ground Jill tumbled down, And Jack came rolling after. When little Jill rolled down
 the hill, Some one tried but never
 caught her; The little thing below the
 spring, Fell headlong in the water. You then may bet her dress
 was wet, A thing that vexed her mother; But one was nigh with dresses
 dry, 50 she soon had another. You know that would make
 one feel good, The branch would make them feel cooler, And so l guess that it was best That day for little Lula. When little Jack came tumb-
 ling back, Somebody went to calling; His mothers feet grew wetter, For after Jack had caught his
 fall, He turned summersetter. W hlle the sun climbed up the
 sky, And while the day grew hot
 ter, Some went to q cave near by. And some plungedin the water. After walks and after talks. And after sWims were made: All thought 1t best to take q ! rest, Beneath the oak trees shade. Beneath the oak a feast was
 spread, On which multitude was fed That numbered four times
 twenty; There boy and girl, there man
 and maid, Talked and eat beneath the
 shade, Till all had eat plenty. And so within that self same
 shade, Set one tub, with lemonade, As much as it could hold; And what would match a sum-
 mer dream, A great big batch of fine ice
 cream, ISO pure, so rich, so cold. When the sun had dropped
 half down, We unhitched and started back
 to town, Without care to letter, For when the picnic day was done, So full of life. so full of fun,

WEST VIRGINIA DIVORCES
New Law Requires Publicity, And
Has Other Drastic Features

Wheeling, w. Va, May 24-West
Virginia, long hailed as the second
Reno, has lost its prestige as a divorce
centre. Mismated couples now: give
this State the go-by and applications
for divorces have fallen off 20 per
cent. as the result of the new law pas
sed by the Legislature in January
and now in effect.
1t is now no longer possible to Sc
cure divorce SECRETLY. All testimony
must be taken in open court. Hereto
fore the cases were heard in cham
bers of judges Of the Circuit Court
and all testimony was submitted in
dispositions.
The new divorce law provides foc
a Divorce Commissioner in each coup'
ty whose work is somewhat similar
to that of detective, and it also de-
crees that couple divorced shall not
marry within six years after the d.
vorce is granted.
