Somebody once wrote a prophecy of a time
In the distant future when , by the unltcd
efforts of lawyers and lawmakers , the statutes
of time country wil be written In such simple
lar.guage and made so easy and preclfe of ap- '
plcaton that the coJe of law wi be gIven
to school children as n text book to Instruct
them at once ! n the correct use of language
and In the requirements of the law. ThIs
Is the state contemplted by the legal fiction
that "every man Is supposed to know the

occur to Mr. ChristIe that the city at large

told time gang that the Hopewel decision did

There's a house mt few miles from time city
I frcqueimtly linger outside ;
'Tis time imoimme of a mmiaid who is pretty ,
A mmmad ! I s'oUhd like for my bride ,
I fear that I never Imnli win her ,
My passiomm ii , hopeiess and mnuto.
i'tmm uiire that her paremmts would skin lie. ,
if they thought that ahmo summiied on miii"
suit.
11cr e3'Cs are time lmtmrest nnml brightest
'l'lmat over encouraged it hope ;
liar skin is tIme softest amid whitest
I'immtt ever shed luster oum soap ;
liar hair is time richest and goldest
'rimat ever a imair.lrosicr dressed ;
And imor parents ore smmrely time coldest
' imeroino ever iOsse5d ,
11cr voice , it's a nmezzo-soprano ,
Wommtd make mnalom eveum Patti afraid ;

Nor do I , in timeory , blame timeni ,
She's vortimy a iluke , I aver ,
It's trime l'tt. be puzzled to nanme them
A dtmle who is worthy of imer ,
Ohm , I know she's beyond and above mue
I doservc to Ito hung , I'nm aware ,
For presuming to timlnk she couid love me ;
But I don't altogether despair.
For my imeert imnlergoes an expansion
'hmemm I think wimat I'll tell you about ,
Or that nlImt when I called at her mimminslon ,
And her Parents , God biess them , were out.
Wlucim I think of tIme way she received me , . _ . -
or the Way , and time words , that I spoke'
Of time way that. she , bluzlmed , and believed
me ;
Or the sixpenee we solemnly broke ;
Or the mutual hopes we conilmied ,
As we bentmed : our 'oiees In song ,
Anl tlmat rapturous kiss we divided-
Well , her Parents can go to hong Kong !

"Lengthy , my boy , let me introduce
you to my friend , Samson , he wears the
Ak-Sar-Ben hat-you'll throw away that
tile when you see it. "
"It's a soft hat , a little on the Fcdcra style , but not
quite-no crease in the center , just indented in true
Ak-Sar-Ben mode- "

It's four times as good a hat as any other four dollar - .
lar hat. It's a dandy.
