"The boys up there are all hustlers and are beginning to take some interest in the ‘town’s do- ings. And by the way, why shouldn’t it be known as Dallas Heights ?

In these pens, the holder is | used as a reservoir from which ink is supplied. We have no record as to 2 how these pens were constructed. The road was dragged some weeks ago but the weather of the last few days has made it totally impassable. Now why don’t our borough authori- ties go ahead and put a good base in the road even if they cannot agree with the township authorities.

The dog-man sends his word to town That he will surely slay The first old dog wherever found Upon the main highway. And so the dogs go in the pen And not a dog is found, And next day all are out again A skulking round the town. They scare the children on the street They tear the maiden’s hose, They track the porch with muddy feet And dirty women’s clothes. My wife says, “No more dogs for her,” She won’t have them around. No poodle, chow, nor yelping cur, Nor long-eared little hound. You see I haven’t much to say For not long since she gave away My dear old Dot with sloping jaw | To her good neighbor, Mrs. Shaw. —W.
