"SPRING HAS COME..."

The trees were rocked by April's blast;
A frozen robin fell,
And twittered, as he breathed his last,
"Lykelle, lykelle, lykelle."

BYRON WROTE MOST OF THIS.

[From the Monticello Times.]

Julf Husman, who has been busy for the past several months, building a
fine new house and barn, celebrated their completion with a barn dance
Wednesday night. "The beauty and chivalry" of Wayne and adjoining
townships attended, and did "chase the glowing hours with flying feet,"
with as much enthusiasm and pleasure as did the guests "When Belgium's
capital had gathered then and bright the lamps shone over fair women and
brave men."

A CANNERY DANCE.

[From the Iowa City Press.]

"Fair women and brave men" circled hither and thither in the maze of the
stately waltz and the festal two-step, and the dainty slippers kept
graceful time with the strains of the exceptionally fine music of the
hour. Lovely young women, with roses in their cheeks and their hair,
caught the reflection of the radiant electric lights and the glory of
the superb decorations, and their natural pulchritude was enhanced in
impressiveness thereby. The "frou frou" of silks and satins; the
enchanting orchestral offerings; the brilliant illuminations; the
alluring decorations, and the intoxication of the dance made the event
one of the most markedly successful in the history of the university.

Just before you go to bed,

Otherwise you'll be all mixed up.

At Ye Olde Colonial Inn, according to the Aurora Beacon-News, a special
"Table de Haute" dinner was served last Sunday. And the Gem restaurant
in St. Louis tells the world: "Our famous steaks tripled our seating
capacity."

CHANCES, 2; ERRORS, 2.

Sir: While in the Hotel Dyckman I noted a sign recommending the 85c
dinner in the "Elizabethian Room." After a search I found the place,
duly labeled "Elizabethean Room."
