OLD homely face that never knew '
The steam bath's efllcatioua migth; '
Who left his features as they grew
And slumbered In them every night; ,
Content in conscious rectitude
The massage systems to escape,
And aids with which the modern dude
, Keeps his progressive mug in shape. ,
Old, homely mind, by peasants trained
To know one path to honesty;
While statesmen, since his time, have gained
That. goal by travelling two or three.
Old, homely soul, all unaware
That Golden Aims are up-to-date,
Only as they the ducits share;
Or to the dollar mark relate.

house in January on "Anti-Strike
Legislation and the Public Welfare"
andjnow the unions are after him

We ha e been repeatedly told that
the inhu'i nanities practiced by the
German sc 'ldiers were not so mnefc
their indivii lual fault as the fault

Both the anti-saloon league and
the liquor men are on the ground
and the politician who will be non

we observe that Calvin Stewart who
has been defeated for Conrgrss
about as often aa anybody in the
United States, now sees a glimmer
of hope to spur his ambition for an
other trial in the first Wisconsin
district. We append the following
from a recent statement ' by him
which while not enaetly g .literary
gem will make up. in ginger what it
lacks in elegance of rhetoric. It is
indeed an alarming prospect which
his eyes are at present engaged in
beholding.
"However, the danger is not so
much in prohibiten; people can get
accustomed to that if they will.
The constitution has been assaulted
with a dangerous weapon; and if
our congress continues to im.nd
the constitution to satisfy every

shou!dbe a police regulation into
a constitutional amendment, just
