Fur lawyers and far preachers I would'nt give a straw, But I knuckle taw an editor in doubled - barreled awe, He's so bandy with the tar -riff an revenue an such, That a feller kan't see how on airth he sum tew know so mush. He 'minds me of an engineer that runs a roarin train, With his hand upon the throttle he keeps his beerin's piain ; He dont go thunderiu round a bend tew jump the reggae track, Bat of there's broken rails ahead he slides bio critter back. Wen you see the happy journal that is worked by soh a power, A-whirlin toward the station jest at the app'inted hour, You t•e.aognize a hustler, tuned Striokly up tew date, With all his kolume crowded like a heavy loaded freight. You take it from the offis ; when its mailed to your address, And open up its pages, still eteamin from the press ; You read its sharp opinions and masti- cate its news, Len wind up on advertisements taw drive away the blues. If a feller 'lows to sell a horse, or buy some real estate, Or hire a driver or a groom, he halnt no pall two wait, He should shove ib down in writin es fast es he kin swipe, An let some higb.olase editor jest harness it in type, I've done some ealoulatin on righb profi- table konoerns, An I b'leve in nein money where it fetch - se quick returns ; Pm abuok on printer's ink spre'd out in vari.gated ways, Fur when you settle up accounts you'll idlers find it pays. An I claim the busy editor snits every- body's needs, Fur be knows jest how taw mix the stuff that everybody reads, An in taeklin gen-ral principles and maulin 'em about, He's the best all round performer the kentry hoz pot out. AN ODE ON TEMPERANCE, DT L, J., nn0SSOLS. Iu the year of ninety-three, After trying moral suasion, The temperance people were roused up And tame to this oonolueion. Some stricter mode must be adopted, To free us of this ourse, Whish robe the people of their homes As well as of their purse. This three is like a hire Which you hourly feed with fuel, For'without new wood occasionally The fete would soon get pool. Thus so ib is with drinking, As old topers pass away The young boys must take their place, And so drink has fell sway.

Nero, one of the youngest members of a group of performing lions at an uptown museum, New York, is probably the first of his speoiee to grace the operating table of bhe veterinary surgeon. On Tuesday one of the other none injured Nero's leg. He was removed to the New York College of Veterinary Surgeons. Nero was carried there in a nage whish was placed in an upright position on the operating table. A chain was fastened around the neck of the lion and the end attached to a ring bolt in the cage. It was fastened to the fore paws and the gage was then removed. For a moment the crippled beast seemed dazed. The next instant, with one bound, los cleared the table, freeing his paws from the rope. The chain about his neck did not give way. Tbe two dozen spectators sought to escape. Nero's trainer managed to attach a rope aboub the forepaws of the animal. Another rope was fastened to his hind leg aid he was again secured. An examination showed that his right hind leg was fraatnred at the thigh joint and that the joint was displaced. A by podermio injection of morphine was ad• ministered and the fractured limb set in place and closely bandaged. Nero was then returned to his oage and taken to temporary quarters. Dr. Busher said it was the first ease he knew of where a Lion had been placed on an operating table.
