 guson. They had finished one day so i,
 would. seem And Tom told the lad to shut of
 the steam. Up he went to the top of the quarry Little dreaming he soon would be
 sorry. The longest way round is the short
 est way there, He had often heard but he didn't
 care; So a short cut he took, God bless
 his soul, And he tripped and fell into the
 big hole. Now ivory met marble as he lit on
 hls face, And it wasn't done with ease and
 grace. His clothes they acted just like a
 blotter Because when he came to, he was
 in the water. Way! l might have died!" said
 the unfortunate lad. Said Harry Horn, That would
 have been too badl' But old Tom Ferguson just looked
 up and drowned, And l heard him humble, "I wish
 he had drowned"

republican party was In the almost un-
disputed possession of this government
for forty years after the Civil war,
during which time almost every vestige
OF the American flag departed from the

have not only restored the American

first thing we know we VIII find him
talking about ''restoring" prosperity
which, under this democratic admins

portions.
"If he does not get off that front
porch before long he will be promising
to restore light and sunshine and rain
and even moonshine."
