leaves much to be desired; for General Wood
swept Chicago and Cook county 10y great ma

broke all records by having moro than 10000
voters deliberately write In his name.
Thus there seems to be honor for all satsfac-

the spectacular. His achievement constitutes

It's time TO go fishing again

There are dreams To be- dreamed IN a day,
There are wonderful pictures TO see.
II is time To be up and away
To the hauuts where the soul can so free,
Life cannot bc lived In one place.

Hard grow the lines in his face

There are beauties Of nature to love,
And joys Tor the Joyous to claim,
Ana tho chorus OF birds from above
IL as sweet as the whisper OF fame.
The body needs rest from tho grind
The soul needs its moments ~ peace,
The tired and trouble-worn mind
Needs respite ana rest and release
And each in his turn must put down
His duty aud portion of care,
Must turn for time from the town
And find true contentmcnt somewhere.
It's time almost time to depart

And gather tho Eladness Of life,
Though each one must follow his choice,
In forsaking the struggle of men,
