Involve that mingling of the pathetic and the humorous that Is a part of the life of everyone. Lights and shadows have been deftly used by the author. Its In cidents, ranging from tragic to humor, are naturally drawn.

And hail us with the cuckoo's song, To show that she is here; So long a May and April takes. In smiles and tears, farewell. And windflowers dapple all the brakes. And primroses the deli; While children In the woodlands yet Adorn their little laps With ladyamock and violet. And daisy-chain their caps; While over orchard daffodil Cloud-shadows float and fleet. And ousel pies and laverock trills. And young lambs buck and bleet; So long as that which bursts the bud And swelsl and tunes the rill Makes springtime in the maiden's blood. Life Is worth living still. From a poem by Alfred Austin.

Regulation winter weather now pre vails, and in the storm of yesterday the government telegraph line suc cumbed to the force of the elements.

Before purchasing, don't fall to see those celebrated air-tight stoves at Fourd & Stokes." They have them in a dozen different styles, and every pos sible size.

Then, as Inciden tal characters, are the Irish corporal, whose prototype might have been Kip ling's Mulvaney; Biddy, a Jolly Irish serving womun, whose avoirdupois and spirits are both at the top notch; the dashing captain of the United States regular service; the "Chaperony," si-ek ing her affinity, and others, who have their own work In developing the plot and story. The play Is full of Incident, and rich In color. It has been produced and mounted In a lavish manner, and the scenery Is In every sense worthy of the play.

I noticed a communication from "Ex," and upon the matter of a street to the already built depot. I think that "Ex" is right nnd timely In the expression. It Is surely time something Is done In the matter of a street to the depot. Why has nothing been done toward the same? Cannot the city council con demn property In that part of the city meet at their wigwnm at 1 o'clock on Sunday, Decemlier 13, to attend the funeral of our late brother, Gustav Iverson. I. J.
