The report that Mrs. Ida Pierce would move back to the farm next spring, she informs The Democrat, is incorrect.

The Red Men have vacated their quarters on the third floor of The Democrat building and are holding their meetings now, we understand, in the K. of P. hall.

The son accredited to Mr. and Mrs. Ray Overton in Wednesday’s Democrat should have been charged to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Overton. The error came about through the confusion of names by the attending physician, from whom The Democrat secured the item. Ray pleads not guilty, and we accept him at his word, but would suggest that he call up the doctor and tell him to charge his services to Bert, or he may be called upon to pay for a son that he never got.

“GAY AND HAPPY.”

I AM the girl that’s gay and happy Wheresoe’er I chance to be, And I’ll do my best to please you , If you will but list to me. CHORUS. So let the wild world wag as ft will. We'll be gay and happy still; Gay and happy, gay and happy, We’ll be gay and happy still. If the president should sit beside me I’d sing my song with usual glee. Fools might laugh and knaves deride me; I will gay and happy be. The rich have cares we know little of. And all that glitters Is not gold. Merit seldom made a show of, And true worth is rarely told. I envy neither great nor wealthy; Poverty I ne’er despise. Let me be contented, healthy. And the boon I’ll dearly prize. I care for all, yet care for-no man; Those who do will ward oft fear. I love a man and like a woman; What else makes this life so dear. —Unidentified.

ALADDIN.

When I was a beggarly boy And lived In a cellar damp I had not a friend nor a toy, But I had Aladdin’s lamp. When I could not sleep for cold I had fire enough In my brain And builded, with roofs of gold, My beautiful castles in Spain. Since then 1 have tolled day and night. t I have money and power good 1 store; But I'd give all my lamps of silver bright For the one that is mine no more. Take, Fortune, whatever you choose— You gave and may snatch again— I have nothing ’twould pain me to lose. For I own no more castles in Spain. —Jaines Russell Lowell.

A SUMMER PICTURE.

’KTOTHING but sky appears, so close the root And grass of the hilltop level with the airBlue sunny air, where a great cloud floats, ■ laden '' With light, like a dead whale that the white birds pick. Floating uwuy in the sun in some north sea. Air, air—fresh life blood, thin and searching air— The clear, dear breath of God, that loveth us! ' ~-’“ Where small birds reel and winds takes their delight. —Browning.
