The Coming ower
A FEW LITERARY REMARKS

Through.
Harold Bell Wright 10 fav'rits Of
mine
His works are 20 noble, 20 trusi--
And Chambers--of course, in = di2'rcnt
line;
But Main Street couldn't read
through.
This Lewis must DO from tho city, /
He takes such one-sided view;
I've lived in small towns, all m life
moro or less,
And I couldn't read Main Street
through.
Miles Bjornstam said, Lewis has lifted
your hide"
(The phrase is his. Pardon It, do!)-
Miles Bjornstam's man could mover
abide,
And Main Street / couldn't read
through.

Secretary Of the Thacherville Comm
Thanatopsis Club.
Bowed by the weight Of centuries Of
contributions, our wonderful one-horse
desk disintegrated yesterday. Not to
mince words, It fell apart. And con-
tributions that have been buried for
years, owing to involuntary exhuma-
ton, may be printed any day now.
Note to business office: Please have
the top Of our desk retreaded. II ought
then to last for another sixty years.
At the statue unvsiling yesterday It
occurred to US that ever so many spec
tators didn't know much about venez-
uela. We, fur ono, know that the
capital is Caracas; and We recall that
in the early eos Venezuela issued
beautiful and vari-colored stamps,
which, it was common gossip among tho
seventh grade philatelists of Douglas
School, Chicago, were easy to counter
felt.
But the stamps we most delighted in
buying-from ourself as agent-were
tho Honduras and Nicaragua sets.
Those were the days when humanity
was divided into stamp collectors and
Those Who Had No Right to Live.

Horace: Book ~, Ode
"Donars+n Ratsyus arete4us eowyso4us"---
I'd like to give some presents to my
friends,
Some curious bowls, some ancient odds
and ends;
For Lou and Dot, that ancient married
pair,
I'd like to purchase that "QUEEN
ANNE" ARMCHAIR;
For Lew and Bess, who cherish works
Of art, oh!
How they would love this painting by
Del Sarto!
Nor should ths least gift be for you,
dear Mabel:

We're wishes horses, all my friends
should ride in
The kinds Of carriages they could take
pride in.
as for ontiques, all that I have an

Is some slight Latt~ and darned less

Nor haze I hoyses-though this rather

But, friends, I'm poor: yet take Won
what belongs
To me: poets gratitude and songs.

I'm here to say ha would be just = bust,
It was q bard who gave that bird a
name
And parking plaes Inside the Hall Of
Fame.
Take Romutus's name--pray who would
shout it
Unless a pote had told the world sheut
it?
(Horace goes on to mako tho pssxs mare

But you are jske-you got tho Biz

These lines, my friends, she,s much
much more affection
Than heaving furniture in youy diye.-

For several years past" Tho Times
animadverts, reaction and .resction-

huri at the head Of anybody whom Won
did not like" Fer many years past
red" and radical" have been, and for
many years to come they will be. con.
venient epithets to hurl at tho head Of
