How II Did It.

Obscured his classic brow,
His vest curved out his back curved In,-
Ye readers oil know how,
His lcs were handsome without doubt.
Hlskuees bent la; his calves bent out
lie swajtKered as he walked about
And the wind blew through his whiskers
He went to the Policemen's ball,
And wrote, and wrote, and wrote,
And got up several sham regret
From gentlemen of note,
And theu he smiled, and showed, amain,
His teeth, soiled with tobacco stain,
And then he spit, and smiled again,
And the wind blew through hi whiskers,
SUBFRISH.

screw,
Till he loosened the lok and the fastenings

Then he opened the door and was Just step.

When he altered his plans and immediately

For a navy revolver was aimed at hU head,
And the gentle proprietor quietly stiid,
'No. you don't!"
Lament of the Dying Redman.
Never again will I course o'er the prairie,
Never, O never again
Ou a poor littlo pony that's windbroken very
Never, O never again;
Never again will I feel young and frisky,
Eager for hunting und fights that are risky,
Hot for a scalp or a gallon of whiskey,
Never, O never again.
ever again will I loaf around the stations,
Never, O never again ;
Living on plunder and government rations,
Never, O never again;
Never again will my fair Indian roses
Dance in the thinnest of barbarous clothes,
Paint on their faces and rings in their noses,
Never, O never again.
Never again will I glide o'er the water,
Never, O never again ;
And make Meeckce paddle the way that I
taught her,
Never, O never again;
Never again will my spirit of honor
Proudly exult nt the work heaped upou her,
The Great Spirit whispers that I am a goner,
Never, O never again.
PER SVI'ERVISOK.
I litis me in der gooutry. I vas a farmers,
undt mine farm vas in Ottawa dhownships.
Lasbt Monday I comes me mlt dhcr town in,
unat l try to una me a supervisors, i vus
peen dhinkingdot der Ilerr W. J. Dwyer was
a supervisors von der Ottawa. I vauts to saw
him, so I gees by his shtore in, undt I says
"Peen dese a supervisors, Her von Dwyer?"
Undt der Herr Dwyer says:
"I vas not peen a supervisors some more all
de vhiles, ridght avay. I vas peen resigned."
Den I say:
"Veil, I vas want to saw der mans vot i a
supervisors right now, already." Aber 1kj
don't can told me noddings where to findem,
undt so I goes me down town in der gourt
house and looks me for der supervisors man
myseluf.
I goes in py der Ilerr Moloney undt ask him
for a supervisors, undt he says idt vas der
Herr Dwyer. He 6ays dor Herr Dwyer vas
not by der ehtatutes 60 legally resigned peen
Aber I knows dot Dwyer vas not a supervisors
all der vhiles, some more; so I goes by Gal-
vin's court in, undt I ask for a supervisors
Herr Galvln saght dot der Herr Reed vas der
supervisor von Ottawa. Den I goes to dsr
Herr Reed, undt he says he vas never a super

Den a feller says to me der shtreet on dot a

len now ridght avay already elected vas. So
now at last I know all dhere vas apoudt idt.
I haff it fine down mine headt in. Idt vas
dese vay now peen: Herr Dwyer vas a super

he don't vill pay a bills, undt he resigns undt
goes avay, undt den he don't vas out at all
aay more, undt den Herr Reed vas elected
peen, undt he vas never a supervisors, so he
ha9 not resigned peen, undt den aey don't
know vhedder dey have two supervisors von
Ottawa or vhedder (ley don't vas got any, so
den dey elects der Herr Cullen, undt der Herr
Moloney says Dwyer vas not legally resigned
peen, undt Reed he never vas resigned at all;
so mediuks dot der Ottawa townships vas haff

We mean to make our house a
headquarters for reliable cloth
ing.
We mustn't exaggerate what
wo have to sell.
You mightn't find out in a day
or a month that a merchant was
doing that. He'd better look
out, though. You will And out,
though. You will find out, if he
does, and he'll crawl in the dirt
before you'll trust him again.
We'll not overstate.
Fiske & Beem will not be a
headquarters for all sorts of
clothing. You will not be able
to get any from us but reliable
clothing.
Not every storekeeper has the
nerve to draw the line, and say
what trade he can't handle. He
wants all he; can get; so do we.
Ten, a hundred, for every one
we nave.
Fairly, though. We said you
should have the best clothing hi
Ottawa. Not the high-priced;
not the under-done and mean
quality; the best-at prices you
hadn't been used to.
We're ready to cat her up all
the clothing trade Ave can get on
that basis of goods, and hunt
the corners of the city with an
electric light to get it.
You'll find us frank, court
eous, liberal; ready to give the
clearest evidence of our cloth
ing. Isn't it the best dollar's worth
of clothing you want!
