The Morning Dodo, published at Leaky Dam, Wis., gave a tioket.out-of-town for the beat poem, three out of dye, six paces, shotguns. Thefollowing poem took the prize and Palled out the fire department How dear to my heart Are the green things of Springtime ; The grass -colored Springtime That now draweth near. The mild, balmy breezes, The fast leaving treeses,. The gay bumble basses That hum in our ears. The mellifluous Springtime, The loose-jointed Springtime, The boom-ta-ra Springtime ; Its sweets we will sup. We'll invade every bower Andpluck every hour The acrobatic flower. up. jump- Johany- The A WAR OF WORDS. "The editor of American .Notes and Queries, (Philadelphia) asked 480 editors all over the country which pronounoia tion each preferred : ad•ver-tiee-meat or ad-ver-tisement. Roughly speaking, the canvas yielded for ad-ver.tisement 230 votes ; for ad-ver.tine-meat, 250 votes or a majority for ad-ver-tine-ment of 20 votes,'--"Tit.Bite " Strange that eaoh difference of opin- ion Should reign within a word's domin- ion. What shall we do, 'twiti yon and me, When even scholars disagree 7 'Tis said that some folk—what irrever- ence I— Will call a certain word "per -sever- ance," Leas learned ones, with firm ad- herents, Intriumph shout, '•It's perse-ver- once ?" Pedantic people plead that "p -re -face," Written or spoken, rhymes with de- faoo : Others a gain your fame will efface If pronounce it not as "pr-ef-ace I" Some apeakere in expressing "neither" Accent and emphasize the "i" there ; While not a few would have ue note As surely as that wood will float, That 'tie the useful vowel "e" And that alone, should sounded be. As here I pause to think of neither, It seems to me that neither's either. Ere closing 'twill be well to mention Another word of mush contention Which some, defying all the oodee, Persist in phrasing "Antipodes" While others, rhyming it with toadies, Contend it's really "Antipodes." Philologists with equal ease Will prove it is "Antipodes." What editors assert is meant To welcome eaoh advertisement,' But stay, although there's nought un- wise meant, Some vote the word is "advertisement" That man's a sad affliction, very, Who is a walking dictionary. As words, like words of fiction vary, 'Tie p'rape pronounced ae diotionary, Alt lexicographers agree. To differ most materially,' And glory in those giant ills, Sesquipedalian syllables, Professional etymologists Are simplyverbal puguliets ; And when they strike, each fresh infliction Deserves and gets my benediction Thud floundering weary wotde among And wondering whioh . is right Or wrong ; . . IVO The /pert of apaoulative doubts, And literary ins and cute ; Confounded by aonfliating rules, The ehuttlecool;s of all the eohoele ; What wonder that in eaoh a juggle Poor poets pariah in the struggle ? To drive a student to dietraobiea Can give but entity satiefaotien, Ere fly my wits away like birds, Oh, whe will quell tine war of worde TEL LATEST QUESTION, "Shall women ride the bioyolo?" 's the problem of the hour, For women must have problems --'tis a part of women's dower. "Shall women smoke?" hoe gone quite out ; "Shall women Vote ?" also. Bat "Shall she hike?" 's the the point 'bout which just now she wants to know. "She shall," 'e the^answee I would give because I would not like To see the women I admire, perched high upon a bike ; From what I know of woman's will, of what she does and don't, I'm certain if man says she "shall," obeli tell him that she wont, And, further, I would like to see the paint vetoed or eigned, For I would really like to know what next will vox her mind. Will it be, "Shall she drive a oab ?" or haply, "Shall she ones 7" What other of our follies shall she want to share' with ue ? Is it to be, "Shall women join the forooe of the state 7" "Shall women fight the Iodises 1" "Shall women, carry freight 7" "Oen women baggage emaeb 7" or else, "Shall women gather fares Upon the cable oars 7" perhaps, "Shall women deal in shares 7" So settle up the problem that doth wrinkle up her brow Just,buya wheel, and say, "Caine I ride," to your ambitious frau, That we may meet these and other points that must be settled up If we would have less bitters and more sweets within our Pap. Get all the problems settled. Let as know just where we stand, So that we may all reach at last the happy promised land. But mark my words, howe'er 'tis solved, on Dabs, or votes, or bikes, I think that woman's sure to do exactly as she liken. LET US TAKE TIME. Let us take time for the good-bye kiss. We shall go to the day's work with e sweeter spirit for it. Let ue take time for the evening pray- er. Our sleep will be more restful if we have claimed the guardianship of God. Let ue take time to speak sweet,foolish worde to those we love. By and by, when they can no longer hear ns, our foolishness will seem more wise than the best wisdom. Let us take time to read our Bible. Its treaeares will last when we shall have oeased to oars for the war of political parties, and the rise and the fall of stooks, or the petty happenings of the day. et ue take time to be pleasant. The small ooartesies wbioh we often omit be. cause they are email, will some day look larger to us than the wealth which we have coveted, or the fame for which we have struggled. Let us take time. to get acquainted with our families. The wealth you are aocam- ulating, burdened father, may be a doubt- ful blessing to the son wko is a stranger to you. Your beautifully kept house, busy mother, oan never be a home to the daughter whom you have not time to caress. Let ue take time to get acquainted with Christ. The hour ie coming swiftly for ue all, when one tough of hie hand in the darkness will mean more than all that is written in the day -book and ledger, or in the records of oar little social world. Since we all must take time to die, why should we not take time to live—to live in the large sense of a life begun here for eternity 7 FIGS AND THISTLES. Envy is as deadly as the smallpox. A kicking Pow often gives good milk. There is no more foolish foolishness than worry. The bread God gives is always fresh and sweet. God San forgive sin, but he won't bless lazineee, Every lie is the' asoasein of somebody's happiness. It doesn't make a sin any whiter to Pall it a mistake. There ie no use in talking any higher than we live. . The thing that really damns men is their love for sin. An hour spent in bad company is a long step toward the pit. The right kind of faith prefers God's will to its own will. You oan disappoint the devil in one way by keeping out of debt. True faith never hesitates about step- ping where God directs. A hypoorite only wears hie mask while he thinks he is being watobed. If there were no fools in the world the lawyers would all be out of work. Live at peace with all men and you will have the devil's war all your life. The only thing about some ohurohes that points to heaven ie the steeple. If some of us would praise God more we would blame our neighbors lees. The real duty is neglected when we step over one duty to perform another. The devil wins many a battle by get- ting God's troops to fire into each other. To have to hoe the sumo row over every day, soon takes the poetry out of life, Heaven is to be given to those who are trying to make a heaven of this earth. Don't think about the storm being blaek. Remember that God gave the rainbow. Trying 10 obtain happiness simply to have it, is nothing more than selfishness. The mon who breaks the gblden rule does not keep any of God's command- ments. The devil has both hands, on the man who will not follow his honest" conVio- tions. If you say "Good morning" to the devil he will offer you hie arm to take a Walk. It the devil can persuade you to take one step, he will make it an nnaiiewer- able argument as to why you should take another. THE BRUSSELS FAST Whenever 004 enters upon a work of ereat'on, the first thing le makes is light, The man who swore has eomething in hie heart that the devil wants to stay there, As iOng as we leek at men to Sind out what God is doing, we shall be dieap• pointed. The poorest people in the world are those who are trying the hardest to keep all they get, There is no work So humble that faith. fulness in It will not be noticed and re. warded. The people who weigh the most in the church for Gocl do not always sit' in the "amen corner." • The right kind of a prayer for the con- version of sinners, does all it can to get to them with the gospel. The devil 'aye down hie gun whenever he hears a preacher begin to apologize for preaching the truth. ., The devil never geto a dhanoe to relit in the neighborhood of the man whom God pronounces perfect. If you claim to love 005 with all your heart, don't you believe the angels expeot you to do something for him with your money? emuttdiaxi Ncsvva. Walkerton complains of numerous burglaries.

Looking at them closely it is not hard to be- lieve that some of thele might have been made by ants, so very small their step and so crooked their way ; excitable little creatures that with all their flurry never seem to get anywhere in particular, and whose whole interest seems to be that of turn- ing aside from obstacles. Others again, in the great length of their stride, remind one of the mighty jump of the kangaroo. They are evidently getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to the observer that these must be the tracks of those shrewd merchants who `got there' by jumping from one advertisement in Tun BIGHIS17L8 POST to anoth- er, and as we ponder their prodigious strides, these beautiful lines of the poet come to mind : Footprints that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's troubled main, Some forlorn and shipwrecked brothel.
