We had always had our factions, and our fusses, and our cliques, and our town was growing deader with the passing of the weeks, so this day we got together and we left our hammers home, and decided that our Bingville ought to be a second Rome! We voted fifty dollars to repair the city hall, and another hundred fifty for an advertising stall; we reekoned we would gravel all. the leading thoroughfares, and make the towns about us feel a bit ashamed of theirs; we talked of grading alleys. .and of patching up the walks, and of filling up the “Bugle” with our Bingville “Booster Talks”; we framed a bold petition to our worthy Uncle Sam, requesting that he help us build the Bingville river dam we resolved to “feel” Carnegie, and the legislative crew in hopes of a library and a normal school or two; we framed a constitution and a worthy bunch of laws, and we glowed with rare emotion for our city’s future cause; we paid our. first assessment like a noble bunch of men, and proceeded to election of a president, and THEN— well, it makes me sad to tell it, but each faction named a man and all harmony departed and the hammer-fest began! We balloted till midnight, but no matter how we tried we couldn’t break the deadlock, for the candidates were tied! So we balloted till sunrise, and we still were voting when— somebody moved ad1oumment—AND WE NEVER MET AGAIN! |, ) Paf and Mike were on their way -to America when Pat became “hope- lessly” seasick, and was making the demonstrations which accompany that soul-thrilling malady. Calling Mike into his cabin, he said: “Moike, thir is wan requist that Oi must make of ye: when Oi'm’ ‘did and gone, Moike, will ye send me poor remains back to be buried in green ould Ireland, and niver let thim be buried 'in the sea?” “0i’ll do that very thing!” answered Mike. yez don’t mneed to think ' any more about that promise ye made, for Oi see plain enough that .there’s goin’ to be no remains!” * k% Some people -have so much respect for the Pible that they keep it on a good clean shelf and never use it. R R T AT “What is your idea in always wear- ing that skull cap?” asked the new waitress of the restaurant cook “I have two good reasons,” angwer- ed the cook, “one is to keep everything out of my hair, and the other is to keep my hair out of everything. Now, may I ask why you talk "to yourself so much?”. “I have.two reasons. for that ' an- swered the waitress, “one is because I like to talk to.a sensible girl and the other is because I like to hear a sensxble girl ta'k!” * * * .

A season of crying, a season of play, A season of work, and of dotage a day, Then—over the river the poor sinner goes, And takes nothmg with him but one suit of clothes.
