The Old, Old Subscriber

How dear to my heart are the old
things in general,
When fond recollection presents
them to view;
Old pewter, old linen, old friends
and old china,
Old books and old songs are far
better than new.
And old shoes for comfort 1--WE
need new ones badly
The old corncoD pipe shall always
hold dear.
But the old, old subscriber, | men,
ton HIM gladly,
Ever faithful and true, he renews
by the year.
The old, old subscriber, the dear
old subscriber,
The faithful old friend who renews
every year.
Old wine and old sweethearts, the
older the better;
The old folks at home-what is
home without themY
The old swimming hole-lt must
not be forgotten
The jewel of Memory's whole dla.

Old times and old customers, and
e'en the old dances

But the old institutions, If one
must take chances,
The old, old subscribers the best of
the lot.
The old, old subscriber, the dear

The paid up subscribers the best Of

prosperous, walked into the
circuit clerks office yesterday
afternoon. where gathered
several attorneys and newspa-
permen. and astOunded the
gentlemen by saying he wish
ed to borrow 20 cents. Now a
person who knows the usual
status Of newspaper mans
pocket OF an attorneys. will
realize what q hardship this
same dead game sport was
working on his audience.
The idea seems all the more
preposterous when II becomes
known that this same killer"
had a girl. and Il was to get
two pair OF white kid gloves
out of the clutches OF a GER
tain dye works establishment
in this city that he wished TO
raise this enormous sum. He
tearfully talmosp told the
gathering that he was to take
his girl TO the show last night
and could not take her unless
he got the gloves.
Attorney 5. o. Boyce. one OF
the party. suggested that "a
superhuman effort be made to
accommodate the young man."
and he likewise proposed
chip in" to raise the money.
Ten days was asked for 90 get
a campaign going. but the
young man exclaimed. I've
got 10 take 'er tonight" So
that was ruled out.
Prosecuting Attorney Addle-
man was highly in accord with
the scheme and stated he
would sell his News for cent
and donate the cent. BOyce,
not to overlook a bet. accord
ingly bought the paper and put
the cent in Pete Boyd's hat,
who acted as custodian. Mr..
Boyce then gave five cents
more. making the fund six
cents. Campbell Henderson,
of the Telegraph. donated
four cents to the cause. Tom"
Flynn. OF the Telegraph, gave
five cents. II. Bloomfield, OF
the Intelligencer. gave a jit-
ney. and Attorney Frank A.
Mcmahon furnished the last
nickel.
The young man was given
fifteen minutes TO get the
gloves and come back. and
within eight minutes be was
back with the gloves. The
young mans name Is withheld
due to the fact that he has
people residing in the city and
no reflection is cast.
Moral. Don't have girl.
and II you have a girl don't
let her wear white Kid gloves
II you don't have the 20 cents.
