As Mis* Spring wm walking through this country a few days ago, she was assaulted by a vagabond by the name of North Pole Weather and quite badly injured. If it had not been for the timely assistance of Mr San Pierre, Miss Spring would have been killed. At this time she is rapidly ’ regaining her strength. Say, San Pierre, it is nice to be a hot member. Talk about yous Nancy Hanks race horses, we will defy anyone of the spirits of swiftness to outrun our good friend of San Pierre, especially on the race track of matrimony. You ought to see h:m last Sunday, flitting around, looking for a kindred spirit. After calling on thirteen ladies, he exclaimed that his affinity must surely be in heaven. 0. Knight of the Box Car, Lion of Courtship, Lilac of the desert of Obi, will you ever see your affinity? Methinks we hear the clanking of the earthly chains that will forever bind you here. Human nature is surely a mine of mystery. You cannot explain all of the actions of humanity. For instance, why is it that our friend of San Pierre pro poses to every girl he goes with? We submitted this question to a scientific magazine and received the following reply: “This spirit, of wholesale proposing is a survival of very ancient limes, when men took unto themselves a large number of wives. This mania is in the same strata of human nature as witchcraft and other peculiar freaks of human nature, and is thought to be incurable. We would advise those thus afflicted to join the radical wing of the Mormon church and live up to its rules strictly, "If the case is not a chronic one it might, like a setting hen, yield to a dose of ducking.”

San Pierre's sad plight reminds us of his brother poet, Whittaker's poem: "The saddest words of tongue or pen, are these—lt might have been." ’ Cecil Dale, the little 16-months-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. John Reid of Medaryville, dipd Sunday night of a complication or diseases.

Say, boys, the girls said they would rather you would come on different nights. It would be better you know, as its hard to entertain two at once. Say, Lonely Valley, you had better look out; Charley was riding through our streets with a couple of girls Sunday. He says the oil fields are all right. Say, brother D. V. San Pierre says your advice was all O. K., as he finds Easter service rehearsing mixes much better with courtship than seed oats does. If you don’t believe it ask those girls he called on Sunday. Yes, brother San Pierre, I am a candidate. But Ido not see why you need so much gall to ask. But as I have a number of rules which must be followed and which I have not the space to publish, if you will sendvnea self-addressed and stamped envelope I will send them at once. This, I think, would be a much better plan than sending brother D. V.

John Finn is taking vigorous exercise trying to develop an immense muscle so that he can get even with W. J. Bryan. Fred Weinkauf of this city is taking a little outing by selling patent medicine to the farmers, net for a corn cure, but to make corn grow. Prof. C. W. Cannon of the Krupp Gun and Colt Revolver Co., had sent fifteen marvelous letters (missiles). Did Miss Rayher receive one? Louie Rausmussen was neither afraid of it raining or of the dog last Sunday eve. He did not care for a blinding snow storm. For further information ask the Misses Caker and Sullivan. Will say to the D. V. political polawog that we will not compare him to a tadpole vet one cannot help but hear a bullfrog croak: “If you spend your time hopping around and singing you will have to hop hungry to bed." What would you think of D. V. putting his ardous study now on mental telepathy and twin-flame; also claiming to to have the power to send a kiss over a barb-wire fence to Baum's Bridge, thinking the girl would stand out in the cold for hours to receive it. Say D. V. you must not be so fainthearted when a girl offeres to kiss you, after you had been coaxing her with a “sassafras heart." It is indeed an amazement to the world to note of his chronic Cupid timidness and then like the African camel bury his face not in the sand, but hide in a hay-stack, till the .shower of darts was over.

Sunnyside

No further particulars are known. It is said that when you find a home with a pretty girl in it you will observe that the front gate always sags. Some

of the L. V. girls have sagged the front gates to make the bovs believe there is a pretty girl within. How's that? A goodly number gathered at the home of Ed Jessup Sunday and a jolly good time was had. Games of all kinds were played and our orchestra was present to furnish music for the occasion. Refreshments were served ad interim. The evening was spent in debating on the divers questions that were intimated, and a spelling match was had.

Ask Nellie how she knows she could throwja cat between the boards in that new bouse. “Miss Snow Flake’s" party here Sunday was well attended for the time of year, but did not last long. Now, Hooligan, we would advise you not to listen to the other fellow next time. A few miles more journey is a trifle compared to not seeing her at a[l. The San Piejre correspondent needn't be quite so particular about that frog sack, even if it was made of his necktie. A very good substitute can be made of a number seven hat band. So never mind, D. V.; you can go fishing just the same. Arthur Bush’s hot beds are doing weft. The cabbage and sweet potato plants are coming fine and witbin a week or so the former will be ready to market. The bountiful supply of choice tomato, mango and pepper seeds also promise a large amount of fine plants. Arthur will have enough plants to supply you all. Sister Asphaltum, we wish to congratulate vou upon the proposal you received through the column* of the Democrat, in the San Pierre department last week. Brother San Pierre makes no choice but propose* to all the girl*. Those he doesn't propose to personally or by letter, he send* a subtitute or proposes through the paper. That's a new fashion ail hi* own, you see. Kind hearted, isn't, be? Roberts has rubber tired buggies for old as well as young bloods. A new lot just received; call in and inspect same. Costs nothing to look.
