THE HOUSE PARTY AT BOLYNE.
, They came in the early morning;
Gladness each face adorning;
All care and trouble scorning—
The house party at Bolyne.
Our host was there to meet them;
With hearty sntile to greet them;
' And of his best to treat them—
The house party at Bolyne.
In wagon, car and surrey
Pell mell. helter scurry;
They landed in a hurry—
The house party at Bolyne.
Breakfast was on the table;
To eat it all were able;
Twas a little bit like Babel—
This house party at Bolyne.
There was much jibe and jeerage;
’Twixt the “Cabin and the Steer
age”
All were members of the peerage—
In the house party at Bolyne.
Then began the dancing;
In “Lame Duck” Castle, Pranc
ing, , . .
I tell you twas entrancing—
The house party at Bolyne.
The Victrola's steady grinding;
To ladies ceaseless winding;
To the men the sight was blinding—
The house party at Bolyne.
There were seven days of pleasure;
i Without stint or measure:
The memory all will treasure—
Of the house party at Bolyne.
One Who Was There.
Examine Strange Personality.
▲ Frenchman, named Marguy, said
to possess the hide of an elephant
Instead of the ordinary human skin,
and therefore believed to be an ab
normally constituted person not no
countable for his actions. Is to be
medically examined at the request ol
the French attorney general to de
termlne his responsibility for a theft
for which he has been Imprisoned
some months.
Publicity Aids Economy.
As a taxpayer it is to your per
sonal and individual interest
(that the receipts and expendi
I tures of county, city and im- (
provement districts be publish
ed. Even if you don’t care to
analyze or even read the reports
the very fact that they HAVE
TO BE PUBLISHED is what is
important to your interests. The
official who knows that every fi
nancial transaction of his of
fice is going to have to be pub
lished in the newspaper of his
county, is going to be an econo
mical, careful and more effi
cient public servant no matter .
what his conduct might be if no ,
publicity were required by the
law. Act No. 3, to be voted on in
September, is the act that re
quires pubilcity in public af
fairs.
The law requires that the de
linquent tax list be published in j
the newspaper. Do you hear
anybody saying that this is not ;
iright and proper? Why isn’t it1
J .just as right and proper to pub- !
! lish a list of taxpayers who have j
i their assessments reduced by j
i the county judge or Board of E
; qualization ? The public has a
; right to know. Vote for Act No. j
13 in order to get publicity in >
public affairs.

A Newport Citizen Tells of His j
Experience.

W. B. Jurney, East Newport,
says: “I was miserable and I
know that my kidneys were af

darted across my back and I
know that rrfy condition was se
rious. I lost strength and vital

took Doan’s Kidney Pills and a
few boxes practically cured me.”

GET LIVING AMUSING OTHERS
Roughly Estimated, Ten Per Cent, of
the Population Caters to the
Pleasure of the Rest.
It has been roughly estimated that
II) per cent, of us, the people of the
United States, keep busy and earn our
living by amusing the other 90 per
cent., according to the World’s Work.
This 10 per cent. Includes those who
do the actual work of amusing; sing
ers in grand opera, light opera, con
cere; actors in the “legitimate'’ thea
ters, vaudeville, in burlesque, in small
shows; performers in the various de
partments of the innumerable circuses,
carnivals, street fairs, baseball play
ers. football players, basket ball play
ers, motor races, aviators, boxers, in
numerable exponents of Innumerable
forms of professional sports.
ft includes also the people who pro
mote these amusements; who incor
porate companies and manufacture
devices to be used in amusing—film
companies with armies of employes
in the moving picture field, for ex
ample; the people in their large office
forces; the people who manage and
direct theaters, amusement parka, race
courses, athletic fields, etc,; stage
hands, mechanicians, electricians and
employes in countless other ramifica
tions of the general business of amuse
ment.
It Includes those who originate
schemes of entertainment, those who
finance them, those who manage them,
those who execute them, those press
agents, advance men, sign painters.
•spielers" and "barkers,” etc., who ad
vertise them and draw the attention
of the rest of us—the patrons who com
prise the other 90 per cent.
OTHER “ISIS” A POOR SECOND
Pessimist and Optimist Alika Had to
Yield the Palm to the Quiet,
Undisturbed Fatalist.
Three students of philosophy 3at on
top of a high hill. One was a pessi
.rnist, one an optimist and the third
had not declared himself.
While the first were warmly dis
cussing their opposing theories of
life, a sudden gust of wind simultane
ously lifted off three hats and sent
them bowling down the hill. The
pessimist and the optimist gave
chase, but their companion remained
calmly sitting on top of the hill and
watched the others running after the
hats. Presently each procured hia
own hat and the optimist picked up
also that of the third man. Then they
panted back up the hill.
"Whew!" gasped the optimiat, as
tie handed over the hat to him who
still sat on top of the hill. “I guess
you’re an optimist, too. You didn't
seem to worry any.”
“Why should I?” was the dispas
sionate reply. “I knew hat ‘mine
own 3uall come to me.’ )U see, 3
am a fatalist.”—Llppincott's Maga
zine.
Good Air in the House.
Clean air in the house i3 aa much a
necessity to health as clean water,
and, inasmuch as a considerable por
tion of the air in the house rises from
the cellar, the cellar must be as clean
and pure as It is desired that the
house atmosphere shall be. In the ab
sence of any ventilating system win
dows and doors must do the work of
bringing in and letting out tbe air. The
Impure air must escape to make room
for pure air. Open the windows at
the top as well at the bottom, the
warmer air at the top of the room will
thus pass out. Keep one window on
the top floor open a little most of the
time to provide a general alr-esc&pe
for the whole house. When airing bed
rooms in the morning leave the cap
board door opea. A sleeping room
used as a sitting room daring the day
mast be given a good airing before
bedtime. The bath room and the
kitchen need special ventilation, and
the living room must be well aired
the last thing at night, otherwise the
used-up air will make Its way through
the house.
Retort of John Wilkes.
In the days when George IIL was
king, and when his periodic lapses Into
Infirmity of mind brought about re
sumptions of the regency and changes
of policy, there was an English lord
chancellor who trimmed his sails to
the doctor’s bulletins. He was a poli
tician of a type with which we are ali
too familiar. He heard one day that
the king was better and would resume
the reins of office, and he made an Im
passioned speech against the regency
in the house of lords. In his perora^
tion he cried, “I cannot forget all that
1 owe to the bounty of my gracious
sovereign; and when I forget him, may
my God forget me!” He was Impressed
with the magnificence of his own ora
tory, and could not refrain from re
peating the last phrase to John Wilkes,
whom he met in Westminster hall aft
er the debate. “Forget you!” said
Wilkes. “He'll see you damned first."
—Wall Street Journal.
Arranging Flowers.
To arrange flowers the best way
take a lesson from the fields, woods
or garden where you find them grow
ing. Where red and white clover,
daisies and grasses are found, arrange
them in a loose bouquet to look just
as they grew; and, as these are unpre
tentious flowers, do not put them in a
glass vase, but rather choose an or
dinary vessel—a brown onglazed pot,
a gray Chinese ginger jar or an earth
en crock. The effect will be artistic.
Indead, the finding of exactly the right
veesel for' every flower is a delightful
study. Just as well m to the proper ar
rmngement of the flowers themselves.
