Some Timely Advice.

Co-AAO AOtkC
A writer in the HoIton Signal
breaks out In new place and gives
some timely advice, as follows:
If you see cyclone coming,
Twisting, humming,
Perambulating,
And gyrat1ng,
Snoring,
Cavorting.
1t doesn't pay
To dispute its right of way.
Let it pass uncontested.
Unchalleged, unmolested.
If ever it picks you up.
You don't know when you will stop,
Or where you will drop;
1t is likely to bump you
On rocks. Or to dump you
In river, where you'll drown
AS soon as you come down.
1t can run sawlog through you
In an instant; it can chew you
Into mincemeat and then spew you
On the prairie; it can do you
Up in divers ways, subdue you;
For cyclone is lulu.

The credit system has made more
rascals and dead beats than liquor has
made drunkards. yet the great mass of
people do not seem to be interested in
this evil as they do in the liquor evil.
People that are so interested in the sal

more consistent in recognizing evils
that exist than merely to consult their
personal prejudices.
