AN EPITAPH.

Here lies a poor woman who always
was tired.
She lived in a house where the help
was not hired.
Her last words on earth were Dear
friends, am going
To where there's no cooking. no wash
ing, or sewing;
But everything there Is exact to my
wishes,
For where they don't eat there's no
washing dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems will always
be ringing,
But having no voice, I'll get out Of the
singing.
Don't mourn for me now. Don't mourn
for me, never;
I'm going to do nothing. forever and
ever"

MY BABY.
"a poem for every father.)
I've heard a lot Of babies squall,
I've heard 'em east and west,
But after hearin' of 'em all,
like my kids yell best.
1t doesn't worry me q bit,
For every time l hear
Him tune UP to his hearts content
It's music to my ear.
Your own kids voice Is always sweet,
No matter what the key;
In all the world no one can sing
So charmingly as he.
You think it's cute when your own
child
Cuts loose with might and main;
1t always is the neighbours kid
That drives you half insane.A

many points in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana. confirming
the reports of the terror that prevails
among the people in consequence of
the prevalence of yellow fever. The
excitement is widespread and at many
points, the pertubed feeling has re-
suited in completely ~stagnating bust
ness and prevailing traffic. Mr.. JEFF
frey said today that there were prob
ably $50 places along the |. C.. lienes
where local guarantees prevail-that
is, where the people had taken mat
teIs into their own hands and estab-
lished an embargo, so complete in a
number of instances as to even shut
out mail, medicines and physicians.
He hopes that in a few days wiser
councils viii prevail, and that system
and method vii take the place of the
present practices. The urgent nee
essity of the situation, Mr.. jeffrey
THINKS is the establishment of quar-
antines by competent state authority
and uniform methods, under which
city and and town authorities will
work and cooperate with the state
officers.
