The Cedar
Where birds sing their lullabys crooning
of gladness
The Cedar flows on through a land of
delight
A sinuous sapphlrino stream in the sun
light
A serpentine ribbon of silver by night
On down through the peace of Arcady
It ripples
Now softly now chanting now roaring
it falls
To tarry again where tho lush grass is
rustling
Enraptured nnd thralled by tho birds
madrigals
Where cattle stand idly in shade that
Is drowsy
The Cedar is laving Its monotone trill
And plover send up through the glint of
the sand dunes
A resonant cry that is piping and shrill
Now parting in half at the sight of an
island
It girdles the banks of a miniature
world
Where blithe in a haven of refugo from
danger
The meadowlanks song to his lady is
purled
Ah homes of contentment I see thee
transcendent
Enthroned on the banks by the sweet
babbling way
The song of the reaper the low of the
cattle
The rustle of corn and the scent of the
hay
The turn of the wheel and the slap of
the paddle
The hue of the corn and the scent of
the grist
And down through the valley forever un
stinting
The faithful old river flows on through
the mist
Ah Cedar of peace and of plenty I love
thee
I love every bayou and nook by thy
side
I float with thee ever anon in my fancy
Float onward and downward to home
on thy tide
Let bards sing to sweethearts their sigh
ing affection
Of honeymoons sweet oer the bounding
blue sea
But true to the love of my boyhood
within me
I sing O ye old Cedar river to thee
I sing to thee out of the depth of affec
tion
Straight out from the love of a heart
that is true
A worshiper now and forever I praise
thee
And long to be with thee once more
with my crew
By day I would drift with thee over the
riffles
And dance with thee ever oer billow
and crest
And under the stars with the moonlight
around me
I fain would drift on to thy harbor
and rest
--
Rag Time
Today isnt in it with tomorrow if
tomorrow is pay day
Worry is always on very friendly
terms with imagination
To be worth her weight in gold a
young woman should be careful that
she does not grow too heavy
There are a lot of men in this world
who go out to the garage look a 3000
automobile in the face kick them
selves and wish they could sell it for
750
S
Before and After
He pressed his suit
And had her guessing
Theyre married now
She does the pressing
The Fast Life
A friend of mine tells me that they
had a most exciting time out at his
house yesterday morning His prize
lady bull dog had six fluffy little pup
pies and his son and heir cut the first
tooth Thats going some for one
family all right
--
Why
Oh if a button on a coat
Is just the thing by gee

Rivalry
The nightingale dies of shame if an
other bird sings sweeter This in
tense rivalry is also depicted in my
town The residents instead of sing
ing raise gardens and woe to him
who does not have new potatoes by
the Fourth of July
G
Experience
A small boy is a lad
But a man is not a ladder
He merely grows up wise
And oftentimes much sadder
--
Loves Eyes
When a lover passes on the beauty
of another his deduction is apt to be
biased

There is quite a strong movement on

Gammill to Chicago and RD Logan to

Our old friend John Gammill of
Frontier ceunty was in Bartley Satur
day last on his way to the Republican
convention at Chicago He is a dele
gate This is right as far as it goes for
no man deserves the honor more than
John Grammil who has been so true
loyal and zealous for the Republican
party yet while this honor belongs to
him it is only as a flower on tho casket
of a friend or a toy balloon given to a
boy to solace his fleeting hours Why
has he not been rewarded with a plum
or pie that would be of benefit to him
before these declining years And now
as he has grown gray and past the prime
of life is given a trip that cost him his
fare to Chicago and return and 83 to
810 a day while there People and
parties should be grateful
