THE DOUGHNUT Oil T11I3 IIOIjE?
Along in tho fall of 1 008, when
wo woro whooping It up for Bryan
and iv revision of tho tariff, some of
our good republican friends turned
upon uh tho cold optic of acorn, and
blithely warbled "you can't convert
us; why tho grand old party Is
pledged to what our big leader calls
a substantial revision downward,'
so of courso we'll stay by our party."
Evon all our tears and entreaties
wouldn't phaso them then. They
stiffened thoir necks and hardened
their hoarts against good advice,
and wont to tho polls and voted.
Voted for continuance of conditions
which woro bad enough then, but
aro becoming rapidly intolerable.

Voted for a man who had always
before held an appolntlvo offlce and
whoo real ability had been hidden
by the services of a cloud of. "under

was given all credit.
This we even tried to show them
but they laughed us to scorn, threat
ened to maltreat us personally and
stated that henceforth our name

They know better now.

FROM TILE HOTEL ANNEX
There was a big convention going
on in a small town and tho proprie
tor of tho only hotel had leased a
church across tho street from the
hotel and had put beds In to ac
commodate tho overflow.
Two drummers who had been im
bibing quite freely were given beds
In tho church.
About 2 o'clock in the morning the
church bell, which was also tho town
fire alarm, began to ring. It brought
out tho fire department and all of
the natives.
When tho proprietor of the hotel
into
riming across the street and
the church he called out:
"Who's ringing that bell?"
"I am," responded one of tho
drummers. "Send over two Scotch
highballs and a pitcher of ice water
to pew 17." Norman E. Maclc'a

THE WEEDS OF WANDER LANE
In Wander Lane the weeds grow tall,
And there I lovo to walk.
For somehow I do lovo them all
And lovo with them to talk.
They touch my hands as I go by;
They even touch my cheek.
Until on them I bend an eye
And with thorn stop and speak.
Down Wander Lane I often go,
And leavo those flowers behind
That In my formal garden grow
And scent the squandering wind.
I love them all, but more I love
Tho weeds of Wander Lane.
That with their simple beauty prove
now queenly are the plain.
Thoy rest the soul and rest the heart,
And strengthen both anew,
As one who, drinking long of Art,
Doth yearn again for dew;
And, speeding back to brook and
field,
In Nature's living might
Repowers himself, and finds unsealed
Tho fountain of delight.

In
Lane the weeds grow
Wander
strong,
With no one's hand to rule:
They wear the dignity of song,
Untaught of any school;
Such flignity is theirs as bards
In Doric ages wore,
Content with sun ' and rain
shards,
And asking nothing more.
