Mrs. Elizabeth Buzzard started
out early in life to feather her nest
well, and has always had her eye
on the main chance. She began
as Elithabeth Bird of Harrison
county, near Paris, Ky. Her first
venture outside the home nest was
when she married Bud Martin.
When Mr. Martin died she mar
ried Edward ('row, a farmer.when
the time came to chang > nests she
allied herself with William Robin,
and lived happily until the matri
monial season for Mrs. Robin
again rolled around. Then David
Buzzard, a widower, more attrac
tive personally and socially than
his name would indicate, appeared
and Mrs. Robin become Mrs. Buz
zard. Into the Buzzard roost Mrs.
Robin carried one little Martin,
two little Crows, and one little
Robin. One little Buzzard was
already there to welcome the other
birds.

I ME CAriPMGN COMPLAINT.
It isn t like it used to be. Why twen
ty years ago
My eyes wouid’have been glarin’ as 1
rose to meet the foe.
My lists would have been shakin’ an’
my arnjs would have been bared
An some one one the other side would
have been badly seared.
Hut now I’m calm and peaceful an’
my mind is not upset —
It s four weeks to election,an’ I’m not
excited yet.
I used to start disputin’ when the big
convention closed —
1 d argue and I'd wrangle with each
fellow so disposed,
liv 1 would be so angry by the last
day of July,
lhat Id .start in a flghtin’—never
waitela reply—
I d start in to tightin’ with each ene
my t met;
Hut now it's most election, an’ I’m
not excited yet.
It used to be I’d listen for each thing
t he other said,
An mebbesit disputin’ tilt I’d ought
to be in bed.
An when we had a rally they could
coun’t on me, of course.
To lead the big procession an’ to yell
till I was hoarse,
I used to know the tariff an’ the na
tion's great big debt
An'all the facts an’ figures- but I'm
not \
I hasn't missed my snj>per and I
hasn't heard a speech.
I hasn't felt like hittin’ everyone
within my reach.
1 hasn't thrilled at bearin’ how the
old flag still was svaved;
I hasn't even shouted t hat the coun
try must be saved;
I 'in just a plain spectator, an" 1 has n't
made a bet—
It's four sveeks to election, an’ I'm
not excited yet.
