Sweet dog. 1 have advice for thee:
Go madly in far deviltry;
Rest not at morning, noon or night,
Till every blessed sheep you bite,
Making their fierce a horrid sight,
By neatly chrwing it up.
And kaing them a wreck complete;
Then a popular dog youll be.

Why you so popular will be.

In this connection it is interesting
to recall President Arthurs mes

"that unless it shall be ascertained
that tho probable excnditures
"of the government for the coming

"all internal taxes save those which
