At this writing, we are having in this realm, a siege of glorious wet weather with all of the poetry squeezed out of it. It seems that our poetic department dosn’t do a very large business at this time. The nearest that we come to being poetic these times is our wish for rubber boots. Judging by the outlook of the present, which is the ante room of the future, this township has reached the stage so beautifully protrayed by the book of Exodus. Next spring it will lose a few of its citizens which will be augmented a great deal in the near future, if current reports are a guide. We would advise our friend of San Pierre to purchase a soul developing machine and try to increase the size of bis inntr man. So great is the difference of size between his soul and body that a ratt'ing noise is heard when he walks. Either pad your soul or reduce the size of its box, is our advice. You must remember, dear one, that your soul can't float unless you buy for it a soul-pre-server.
