I’ve seen you laugh, I’ve heard you scold; Sometimes you treat us very cold. Os stories you are always full. Our hair sometimes you give a pull. Your punishments are queer indeed; But we all like to hear you read. When we are mean our ears you cuff. And when you play, you play too rougjh. But though ypur ways are rather queer. We hope you’ll teach another year. To make thie rhyme has hurt my llC&rd And so I think I’ll go ta bed. o - BIGGEST NEW PARIS SALE The biggest of all big public sales, will be held at New Paris next Tuesday, April 19, commencing at D:3O o’clock.

A deep grove runs over the rocky formation as smooth as a mahogany ! table top. An old paper picker in the park says that it has been used by boys for sliding purposes ever since he could remember anything and probably before. He himself used it as a boy and that was in President Grant’s time. “It’s taken thousands of pairs of pants to wear that rock down as smooth as it is,” he reflected. - - —o M. E. CHURCH Rev. F. H.
