Retribution... Uy The Old Man On The Hill Mrs. Abbie MacLain called one afternoon On her old friend, Shela Farlie. It was the custom for years For those two old dears Thus to forgather for tea. While the kettle was boiling They talked of the news And the goings on there about, How the widdy McCown in her new velvet gown Was setting the fashion no doubt; The supper and dance at the Odd Fellows hall Was the coming event of the day, And Paddy O’Flynn, in the dog house again, He’d been under the influence they say. As she poured the tea now for a change Said Shela from Mikes’ bottle here Into each cup I’ll pour a wee bit sup, It gives it a flavor I hear. Tis grand tea said Abbie, lets fill them again And, if I may be so bold, Of the creature in mine A few drops I’ll not mind, I think I’ve a bit of a cold. * Said Shela, my man has left his cigarette Let’s try one just for a jest; We’ll smoke one or two I will if you do We will be modern as well as the rest. They laughed at the thrill of their transgression mild When the smoke got into their eyes, But the door bell rang in the midst of their fun And th“ir mirth turned to panicked surprise. THE PLACE WHERE ! YOUR : FOOD DOLLARS GO FARTHER 1 We feature the best brands on our shelves and still the consumer is able to save money. Why not try the Mill Market today and really stretch those food dol lars. Remember two deliveries daily. Hivens, said Shela, tia the preacher that come Quick, our cigarette in the tray, You fix everything while I let him in, Whosh, things are happening this day. Said Shela your reverence, we were just having tea I will bring you a cup, by my troth I am proud I will own in my humble home To serve tea to a man of the cloth. As the minister sat he happened to glance Toward the ash tray, what he saw there Caused a look of surprise to come into his eyes, Two cigarettes, half gone, still afire. But blissfully Abbie extolled Shela’s brew. It cannot be beat I am told You’ll like it as well As I do my ain sell And its, hie, verry goude for a could. Poor Shela so flustered by the preacher’s advent That to her it never occured From the bottle close by a stiff shot of rye Into his cup she had poured. The good man smiled as he quaffed from his cup, Then a look came into his face Of shocked unbelief, like the virtuous grief Of an angel fallen from grace. For Convenience— Remember— DELIVERIES TWICE DAILY: 10 a.m - 3 p.m. PHONE 1391 Slowly his eyes to the ash tray turned. Where the smoke curled up and away, Again tasted his tea then bent to his knee Saying SISTERS, I think we should pray.” gegl Subscription price, $2.50 yearly. For last week the stage of the river showed a drop of several inches each 24 hours but since Tuesday of last week the drop has been more rapid, an average of six inches per day. The gauge at the city dock at St. Helens showed a depth of 14.4 above zero, which is a drop of an even 5 feet from the high reading late in May of 19.4 feet. The weather bureau predicts there will be a slow fall each day for the next week and this will bring the stage down to about 10 feet, usual for this time of the year.
