 decay, And trophies glmmer in the dying ray of stars that once with heavenly glory
 shined. But you, old friend. are you still left
 behind To tell the nearness of life's yesterday ? An. boon companion of my vanished boy, For you he lives; in every sylvan walk He waits; and you expect him every

LIKE MLIrNE SAYS

 A man can understand why othec
 women should wear see everything skirts, but he can't see any sense in his own wife making an exhibition of her self.
 After an old bachelor gets through looking over the advertising sections or some of the magazines he gets the idea that a corset is about all the clothes kwoman wears when she is around the 1 house.

Look at that empty-headed stage beauty! I understand she gets 5000 a week just to exhibit a pretty face and perfect figure, and do a few dance steps. Why. that's more than the av- year!"
