~YOU' NICE"
The other day met dainty maid.
As fair man might ever wish to see'
And, though l can't explain it, she displayed
4 most delightful interest in me-
For me she showed affectionate regard,
Despite the fact her mother lowered nlgn,
Nor were her loving demonstrations marreo
Because my lawful mate was standing BY
These seeming complications she ignored,
Her ardor dampened by them not whit;
She made it very plain that she adored
Me-and l found it pleasant, admit
About my neck her loving arms she tw1ned,
Upon my shoulder laid her dainty head,
Toward my ear her rosebud lips inclined
And whispered low to me. You nice" she
said.
You nice!" What wondrous music TO my
Far sweeter than the songs of many birds
No one (although I've lived for many years.
Fer classified me with such kindly words.
Who is this girl you're curious to knowD
Who openly with manner brazen. bold,
Pronounced me nice and said she loVeo me
Why, bless your heart, she's only four years
old!
THE memory of man. as we have said be-
fore (and as some one else said before us), is
feeting. None more so than ours. But we DO
not recall ever hearing a minister preach a
sermon, the text of which was taken from the
Song of Solomon. Being of the earth earthy
we cannot interpret any portion of the Song
as material for text Pastor Russell supplied
a beautiful Interpretation but it has done moth
ing except convince US that the field OF jour
nalism lost a champion rewrlte man. VIII
some one sing the Song of Songs for US to a
tune we can understand?
The Unusually, Not to Say Extraordinarily,
Inspired Composition.

The charge of disorderly conduct
against John EYener, hell hop, who is
alleged to have struck Ed Lauzon, for
mer Three-Eye umpire while he was
officiating, has been dismissed. The
cause of the dismissal was the failupre
of Lauzon to appear.
THE Police Reporter, who is bit of wag,
calls attention to a picture which hung in The
Argus window t'other day. 1t showed a large
ship which was said to have carried IS 900 bar
rels of oil for Greece. Now says the P. R.,
II know what oil is for
