I shot an arrow into the air, it fell
in the distance, I knew not where, till
a neighbor said it killed his calf, and I
had to pay him six and a half. I bought
some poison to slay some rats, and a
neighbor swore it killed his cats, and
rather than argue across the fence I
paid him four dollars and fifty cents.
One night I set sailing a toy baloon,
and hoped it would soar till it reached
the moon, but the candle fell out on a
farmer's straw and he said I must set
tle or go to law. And that is the way
with the random shot, it never hits in
the pi-oper spot, and the joke you
spring that you think so smart, may
leave a wound in some fellow's heart.

(Copyright 1909 by C. H. i!Icth)
When the last luar rug Is loaded
And the mnrlnt van heavily treads
The ruts from the White House displaying
Its burden of trophies and heads.
We shall sl»li—and ijarts, for good reason,
And our eyes shal be heavy with tears,
For there'll never be anything like it
In another ten thousand or years.
The gun-men shall walk by the wagons
And utter their lusty boo-hoos,
The stork shall despair, and the papers
Shall grieve for the passing of news.
The liars shall come from their burrows,
The faker shall stick out ills head,
And the milksop shall venture from hiding
And come out from under the bed.
And only the teachers shall teach us.
And only the preacher shall preach,
And 110 one shall mix II with evil,
A nd none shall put Into the breach,
The tumult shall die and theshouting,
The hip and the hurrah expire
And the gayety relished of nations
Shall he one with (Joinorrah and Tyre.
The winter shall end and the heavens
shall smile with the beauty of spring.
The bullfrog shall woo in the gloaming,
and the robin shall merilly sing. The
calf shall cavort in the pasture with
bliss in the pitch of his tail, the lark
shall awake in the morning and sing
trom the tip of a rail, the wind shall
disport with the washing and popple
the tails of the shirts, and the modester
maids shall go walking with shot in the
hems of their skirt3.
T- R. shall sum up in the matter of
what may remain to be done, and ev
ery one under his orders shall work like
a son-of-a-gun. A few" parting shots
at the Senate, a liar or two for the list,
a round with the House for the rubber,
a message or so in the grist—and then
we shall rest, and shall need it, that
seven years running have laughed, and
where we hnve whooped we shall have
an occasional cackle with Taft.
And meanwhile the fleet, having gir
dled the earth, our more provident men
shall beg of the Slope not to bust us
with having to gird it again. The Con
gress shall die, and another shall take
up its burden of care, our Uncle Joe
Cannon shall rivet his pantaloons into
the chair, the Senate shall utter thanks
giving that Teddy has quit for a hunt,
the glowing pink sideburns of Sherman
shall ravish the view up in front, the
danger of getting a spanking shall per
ish and pass out of mind, and Tillman
Shall pull out the pillow that he has
been wearing behind.
The crocus shall rcalte, and the red bird
Shall whlsti tiMlrhee ai\d tu-whit,
The flicker shall drum on the cornice,
And the cool shall give notice and quit.
The wild duck shall fly, and the hunter
Shall wade with his middle Immersed,
The pleurisy, chills and pneumonia
Shall light over who saw him llrst,
And the calends of March shall remind us
That Caesar was stabbed in the ides
By a lot of Black Handera and Dadoes,
Confound their contemptible hides!
Alas, for the glory ot Caesar—his no
tice was pinned on his door, and when
he went out he encountered a dozen

Black Handers or more. Said Brutus,
"Da mun—did you fetch eet? Said
Caesar, "Ne breenga da mun!" where
at by the statue of Pompey the terri
ble murder was done. "The Black
Hand forever!" they shouted, and al
most a whole grading crew fell on him
with flashing stilettos and cut the
great Caesar in two. Alas for the fear
of destruction that a life of exposure
had calloused! Also for the gourd
colored monkeys the vessels bring over
as ballast! Alas for the mightiest fig
ure occuring in history's span, but good
for the fate which condemns them for
ever to sell da banan!
Tne fateful 15th having happened,
and spring having burnished the dove
according to all the traditions, the
season shall open for love. The soul
mate shall sigh for its fellow, the hard
hit affinity groan, the common, un
classified lover shall bawl to call some
one his own, the young folks shall coo
in the parlor and the cook and the cop
at the rear, the telephone wire shall be
busy with dialogues sweetened with
dear, the love unresponding in winter
shall strain as a furnace grown hot,
and the widows shall pull hair and
quarrel comparing what each other
got.
St. Patrick's Day come in the marnln'
Shall give its accustomed parade,
The Irish shall march In the city,
And "Wearing the Uieei}" shall lie played,
The Shamrock shall wave and the story
Of old be In everyone's mouth,
Albeit the Anti-Saloon League
Has driven more snakes from the South
Than ever were driven from Ireland—
Except, we are bound to confess,
The snakes that were driven from Ireland
Were never returned by express.
The spring equinox shall enliven the
last of the month in a way, but the
total effect will be nothing to those of
the Roosevelt sway. The lightning
shall flash and the thunder shall give
us a rumble or two, but they won't
scare us into the closet as Teddy's
were able to do. The weather, how
ever, shall physic the impurities out of
its blood, the sun shall resume with
the blower and dry and case-harden
the mud the farmer shall put in his
garden with seed that his Congressman
sent, the thrush shall sit up in the tree
top and announce that the winter has
went, the roadbeds shall harden and
stiffen, decreasing the number of
wrecks, and people may travel a little
without telescoping their necks.
The night of the sixth shall find
I.una
As perfectly round as a dish,
Amt the zodiac sign Bhall be Pisces,
Or commonly known as the Fish,
The children born under its power
Shall slave In the getting or wealth
And later spend all they have hoarded
Attempting lo get back their health,
Which latter, we've often concluded,
And rise to remark now and then.
As one who has thought of these matters,
Is true of a whole lot of men.
And then we shall welcome sweet
April, when Teddy shall bid us farewell
and sail to give Africa's lions a sample
of his kind of hell.

At Cresco Opera House Suon.
I Theatrical stars are not always born,
oftimes they are made. The "mude
to-order" stars, however, generally
shine but a short time, and then their
light is forever dimmed. It is about
I
the same on the stage as elsewhere in
life's workshop—one must have talent
to succeed. Once in a while in stage
history there is a brilliant example of
a star being discovered.
Such is the case with beautiful
Princess Wah-ta-Waso, whose rapid
rise to fame and fortune has been one
of the sensations of the present theat
rical season.
At the opening of the season her
name was almost an unknown quantity.
Now managers are singing her praises
most enthusiastically and critics every
where are telling of the rapid rise to
fame and fortune of this little Indian
miss who so electrifies her audiences.
The Princess Wah-ta-Waso was dis
covered by W. F. Mann, one of the
most successful theatrical managers in
this country, who has put out numer
ous successes and knows how to cater
to the popular taste.
The Princess is playing the role of
"Pamena" in "As Told in the Hilis."
She does not act the part, she is the
living embodiment of the passionate
child of the forest. Everywhere she
goes she seems to infect all her audi
ences with the contagion of gooi cheer
and charms all with whom she comes
in contact. Some call it personal mag
netism, others call it individuality, but
without it, there is no success on the
stage.

CRESCO WILL PAVE.
By An Unanimous Vote Council
Orders Paving of Elm Street.
Cresco enterprise took a long stride
forward last evening when the city
council adopted a resolution to pave
Elm street from Market to Peck
streets.
An objection signed by several of the
property owners was presented by
Wm. Kellow, but after due consider
ation a ballot was taken on the resolu
tion, all voting in its favor except
Alderman Lomas who later voted to
make it unanimous.
The total frontage of the street to
be paved, including streets and alleys,
is 3,005 feet. The objectors represent
ed a frontage of 865 feet, of which 300
feet is owned by non-residents for
rental investment, 440 feet owned by
local parties and kept for rental, and
only 125 feet occupied and used by the
owners. We understand that several
of the objectors who signed the peti
tion were really in favor ot paving.
The council is to be heartily com
mended for their action in ordering in
the paving.
