The presence of the Chautauqua makes .the town the cen

His Ingersoll watch and heavy brass

Supporting a medal, "Remember the

Perfumed with musk from a ten-cent
tore,
Made you think of a skunk, a shot
gun and gore.
The liveryman, who la always on
deck,
With nose like a tomato, and full to
the neck,
Was swearing like a pirate, about a
two-mile drive
That he had to make for less than a

The scene at hotel "Grand Central"
by name
Was inspiring aa a funeral or about
the same.
Two old retired farmers at checkers
were playing
And to each other not a single word
saying.
But they glared back and forth, ap
parently sore.
Spitting gobs of tobacco all over the
floor.
In the musty parlor, with carpets all
worn,
Hair sofas and chairs all caved-in
and torn,
A broken-backed album laid on a ta
ble.
With portraits of freaks back to Cain
and Abel.
Upon the wall, in a deep-set frame,
Were funeral flowers of an ancient
dame, j
And a motto usually found, wherever
you roam,
Of bright red yarn, reading "God
bless our home";
An old. battered organ with key3 all
split.
Wheezed like a torn cat having a fit.
As the landlord's daughter, with dtv
ided skirt.
Played "Everybody's doing it." and
tried to flirt.
The old. cracked plates, with cups
and saucers thick,
Each about as heavy as an ordinary
brick.
The stiff, red, Unty napkins, pointing
to the sky.
Always tickling the nose, to make
you sneeze and cry.
The cold "hot cakes," with clammy
sweat,
That could not be downed on a cinch
of a bet,
The greasy table hardware and coun
try butterlne,
And the things to be forgotten, taken
"sight unseen,"
And the morning bath, with the pit
cher frozen o'er,
Was just a little trifle to make an an
gel sore.
But the toilet, way back, that dark,
cold night.
Was, without any question, a thing
out of sight.
My heart goes out to all traveling
"Bills,"
When I think of these things, the
worst of all ills.
But on the "last trip," when their
Maker they meet.
Full credit will be given on the "trial
balance sheet."
