Our butchir is 8 long thin man By the name of MT. Srnit, Who erround among the different
 meat
 With his butchir nife does fit. An apron covers the frunt of him All the way down to his feet, Wich to look at it you wood se1dirn
 sippose
 It ust to be wite and meet. He asks you wat you want today, And if you say roast beef, He cuts you a hunk, or if you say He cuts you that, and wood jest as
 leef. He puts his hands on everything And slaps everything down wfth> a
 wack, And wenever enythings hard to cut He takes his ax and slams it a
 crack. o he proberly never thinks of all his
 meat Wen it was alive insted of ded, As he cuts it with his pencil behind
 his ear,
 And his hat on the back of his he'd. For instants all those frankfritters A hanging down in the air, Nobody knows wat they ust to be, And wat does the butchir care?

INTRODUCED TO HIS
 FUTURE BRIDE

''Who shall say where love begins,
 How it's subtle way it wins?
 Gods, who love the race they frame, Cannot tell whence springs the flame, Man may reason long and well,
 But can never break the spell.''
 No man should rail at or sheer at the remark that married life is the happiest in the world, for the single man never knows at what place or time he will meet the one woman who will cause all his determination and theories to melt fog before the sun- sG1ine Even the men who are the most strenuously opposed to matri-
 nony have their secret idea1s-some one type of woman interests them more than others debut they are frank enough with themselves to scout the idea that their ideals can be met with this mundane sphere.
 It is equally useless for a man de- Hberately to refuse to go to a place where women frequent or refuse point blank to be introduced to the sex for which he has no use. Cupid does not take him into consultation when he lays his plans, jotting the name of this man and that woman whom he purposes to pair off down upon his reference book. It's all cut and dried for him. A man may balk and run away, but he is caught and rounded up another day.
 No masculine heart is so stubborn or fractious that Cupid cannot tame it into subjection in his own unique way. The one unfortunate part of it is that Cupid gives no hint or sign that might put a man on his guard or warn him to be in readiness. Men meet their future brides when they least expect and they are not always duly impressed with their future heart afe r C.y,< vf7<N had to be fairly coaxed and dragged to a ball, accompanying his chun, saw there a young woman so plain of face that he marveIed why the good-look- ing young man dancing with her should be eager to secure her for the next waltz, the next and yet others. During the course of the evening, the young man who had fought so hard against coming was introduced by the friend he had accompanied to the very plain young woman. She looked up with smile and that smile so radiat- ed her whole fade that her new ac- quaintance looked upon her in won der. It charmed him, interested him, made her almost beautiful. Her gra- cious personality, sweetness and who1esomeness captured the citadel of his heart in that first moment of meeting. He could not forget her or the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand. He who had laughed at matrimony and the notion that it took a woman's love to make a man really happy and life worth living was manly enough to confess that he had erred in his Judgment when he thought the careless life of a bachelor free lance was happier than the man who had placed himself in the hands of a good woman to be loved and cared for in the married state.
 Cupid very often allows a man to go I4-.r can only run the length of his rope finding the matrimonial moose at the end of it. [.

Grand Duchess Tatiana.

The Grand Duchess Tatiana, the second daughter of the Czar and Car ina of Russia, was born 19 years ago today She is about 19 months the ju- nior of the eldest of the children of the Russian imperial family, the Grand Duchess. Olga, who will be 21 in November. Tatiana has two young CT sisters, the Grand Duchess Maria, who will be 1T next Wednesday, and the Grand Duchess AnastaSia, who will celebrate her fifteenth birthday a week from Sunday. It was not until three years had passed after the birth of the youngest of the Czar's daugh- ters that the stork visited the imperial palace with the long hoped for son and heir, the Grand Duke Alexis Mic olaivitch.-
 Titiana. like her elder sister, the Grand Duchess Olga, and her mother, is now serving her country as a nurse. Clad in the regulation uniform of the Russian war nurses, she presents a, pretty and pleasing figure, and the soldiers who receive her gentle min istrations consider themselves the most fortunate of men. Like all the other daughters of the Czar, the Grand Duchess Tatiana is a quiet, obedient and affectionate girl, simple in her tastes, and devoid of affectation.i At the outbreak of the war she entered a training school for nurses, where she conforned to the same regulations and followed the same course of study as her sisters of humber birth. At the conclusion of the course she was aS- signed to the hospital established by the Czarina in the imperial summer palace, where she has since been in almost daily attendance on the pa tients.
 Before the war it was believed that the Grand Duchess Tatiana would be- come the bride of Crown Prince Carol of Roumania, the eldest son and heir of King Ferdinand. Another rumor was to the effect that she would wed the Grand Duke Dimitri, her cousin, the eldest son of the Grand Duke Paul. That young man was banished from Russia for a time because of his wild infatuation for an American girl. In the meantime, however, the Grand Duchess is employed in the hunanita- rian role of a ministering angel to the shattered and suffering victims of the most terrible of wars.

 A reduction of $52.0OO. 900 in the aggregate fire loss in the United States and. Canada is no small gain.

LAFAY ETTE. Ind. March S.
The state concluded the introduction
Of its testimony yesterday in the
Sunday theater case. and the de-
Tense, in its opening statement by
Daniel p. Flanagan, asserted that il
would be shown that Sunday shows
were as much a necessity as any
thing else that is permitted on sun
day in violation Of the closing law.
He said the popular demand for
anything made il a necessity in the
meaning of the law. and that the
Lafayette public demands sunday
shows. He declared that the states
contention that an organized con-
spiTacy was afoot here 10 open the
city on Sundays was absurd The
theater men, he said, decided TO test
the law. and with that end in view
pooled their iA%erests. Just before
the state closed its case several
theater proprietors testified that they
had been approached by various
defendants and asked to contribute
TO the fund with which to fight the
Sunday closing law. Several testi-
fed that they refused 10 join with
the defendants and told them they
were not in favor of Sunday shows.
The trial will be resumed tomorrow
and probably will be concluded this
week.
