Sweetheart, new come to earth from Heavens
Whose azure smiles upon me from your eyes
1t must be that you are granted prize
For some good deed, or one that I shall do;
An earnest OF Gods dearness working through
The crust Of my bad self to reach this heart
And open 1t, with most divinest art,
Unto the love brought to me- Sweet, by you.
OF old prayed Our Lady might be
Somewhat better man than had been:
With all the Churchs bright artillery
| battered Heaven trying to get in.
And now, a hostage to my gonfalon,
You she hath sent, peacemaker for her Son.

A HEADLINE asserts that "Cox Says Rea.
son Must End Wars" But Mr. Cox was not sc
emphatic, he merely expressed hope that rea
son would settle controversy, instead of the
sword. But reason has had ample opportunity
to devise substitute for war; and we nave
peace. now as in the beginning, only with exhaus-
ton. 1t is not too wild conjecture that war
will cease on this planet only when the sun has
lost so much OF its heat that the surviving mem.
bers of the race will be too cold and miserable
longer to quarrel with one another.
The Competition Is Getting Keen.
Sir: Harding for good roads" Fine! Now, as
a Republican, my only fear is that Cox may
come out with an Endorsement of fresh air OF
something. GADFERBID.

DON'T TRY TO GET FRESH WITH THE
FOURTH ESTATE, YOUNG LADY.
(From the Lyons Mrror.Sun)
certain young lady tried to act smart
by refusing to let the Mirror Sun reporter
know where she was going when she boarded
the train 1eW days ago 1t does not worry
US any, but 1t reveals a peculiar trait Of
character, to say the least. But we want
to serve warning right here that we will not
tolerate any nonsense of this kind, and If
you are looking for a public expose and
roast just try a few capers of this kind
I'm FACT" says an editorial on Uncongen-
ial clubs, "a man may go to a club to get away
from congenlal spirits" True. And is there any
more uncongenial club than the Human Race?
lhe service is bad, the membership is frghtfully
promiscuouS, and about the only place to which
one can escape is the library. 1t is always quiet
there.

Clothing store in Burlington VT, met Dad White,

SOMETHING'S BURNING"
Sir: Smokers who have been complaining
about the quality of the makin's will not be
startled to learn that there is an Excelsior To-

BY the way, Mrs. Betsy Arnold, who recent

THE SECOND POST.
Can Iowa customer writes in.)
Dear Sir: We bot these skirts in good faith
and laid them away till the season was on, and
when the season opened up we sold nearly all
of them with the result that over 2-3 OF them
came back all having the same complaint that
they were so tight around the hips they could
not wear them. We gave them bigger sizes max
ing them too large around the waist and still
they too small around the hips. We did
everything, fitted them here in the store and
we found the same trouble so tight around the
hips. My wife which Is far from being stout,
tryed them on and could not wear them. Some
thing is radically wrong with the cut as we tryed
everything but invariably they came back with
the exception of a few little skinnies who kept
them. The skirts certainly gave me black eyes
as l advertised them strong.
MARION intimates that Mr.. Harding will
make the protective tariff prominent issue Of
the campaign. This, with the good roads issue,
should hack the Democrats against wall,
"RECOGNIZING," says the Die Block
company of America, l27 Water street, New
York. "the necessity of keeping abreast of our
strides :" Otherwise one might come apart
at the waist.
Yes. A Great Line OF Poetry.
Sir: Was it poetic license that let Petrarchi-
get by with two split infinitives in one pome? ?
Is there ever any defense for the darn things?
