A Subject for Congress, Teacher: "Give one argument proving Lincoln's birthday ought to be celebrated in the same manner as Washington's." Johnny: "I think Lincoln's birth- day ought to be celebrated even more than Washington's and I can provs it. We only hear of Washington chopping down one cherry tree, while Lincoln chopped down enough trees to build a log cabin." ~----Anne J. Geck. It English is the only tongue With which you are familiar, The language of a radio fan will sound a bit peculiar. --8. L. Marshall. The man who invented the alibi sure knew his stuff. Thoughts On My Tailor. He has my number. He gives fits and misfits as well, charging for both. He can size me up, if he can't suit me with a suit. He, at least, knows the measure of his man. He should be successful in love for he has cut out the suit of many a man, Some day both fame and fortune will be his when he has invented a trousers pocket that a man's wife cannot pick successfully. When my tailor gives my suit extra touches or trimmings, I get trimmed in his bill. May my tailor go to heaven when he dies unless, of course, he should wish to roast his goose, ~George W. Lyon. Not a Collector. Contributor to Editor of Fun Shop: "As you have doubtless ob- served, all my work bears the stamp of originality." Editor: "Yes, but I have outgrown my stamp-collecting days." Didn't Need Him. A maiden lady of uncertain age, when asked why she had never mar- ried, replied: "I have a dog that growls, a par- | rot that swears, and a cat that stays out nights, so that I really don't need a husband." --E. R. tions court was trying to reunite an erring truck driver and his wife. The woman had caused the arrest of her husband, charging that he often heat her. "Don't you realize," began his honor, glancing sternly at the priton- er, "that a woman is a frail creature? It I place you on probation for six months, will you promise me you will handle your wife with gloves, in the future?" "Sure, I'll promise, Judge," the prisoner replied. "One minute, Your Honor," the wife interrupted. ""Make it plain to him that you don't mean boxing gloves." -- Too Much Liquidation. "How did Billings lose all the for- tune he inherited from his father?" "He prompted a company that manufactured a patent machine for putting in permanent waves, and the stock was all watered." --W. A. Page. Vocabulary Exhausted, Dick; "What did your father say about your staying out so late last night?" Dolly: '""There wasn't anything left to say when Mother got through." -----Mary Clark. Dreamy Eyes. I looked into her dreamy eyes Like bright stars glowing; In fact, she stole my heart away, Ere I was knowing; Her beauty and her dreamy eyes Both had me going, I leaned above her; I was wise, Though a beginner; "Dreaming of love," I whispered, "dear?" Thinking to win her; She answered, "No, I'm wondering What's here for dinner." ---E. D. K.. Advice to Girls: Curl while the iron is hot. (Copyright 1 904.

PICNIC HELD AT GLEN ISLAND Church of St Mary Magdalene at Napanee Held an Weather in the morning wae ¢old and rainy, which prevented the crowd be- ing as large as it otherwise would have been. The steamer Brockville started at 9 am, with a fair complement of Passengers, for Picton gnd Glen Is- land.

But wind and rain have sung to me of the beauty of London Town, And they whisper once more of Fleet street, the street where Dreams are born. There's beauty enough in your vile lage lanes and your little cobs bled quay, 2 In the tawny sails of the fishing boats and the ocean's chang- ing blue, And sweet is the voice of the off-- shore wind, but sweeter far to me - Is the splendor of the river banks from Hammersmith up to Kew. : You may turn your scornful heads aside, but her iovers have found her fair From Shakespeare to Richard Whittington, who was called by the Bells of Bow, : For Hope has lighted a thousand fires and Courage goes prouds ly there; i And the London gparrows chant son no nightingale may know, I will stand at dusk on Blackfriars Bridge, I will see the sun go down, i And the graceful spires of Wests minster etched clear on the twilight hase, : Till the moon comes stealing out Heav'n to kiss the
