A DANGEROUS RISK.
A scorchcr is Safer These Days Than the
Man who Walks,

It seemed as II everything was set
tied. The insurance company's physi-
san had reported that the man was
not iikely to topple over at prayer
meeting or to die of laughter In
theatre, and the man himself had GER
titled that he was not engaged In any
occupation that took him in the vicn-
,ty of dynamite or other high explo-
Boves.

said, my life is very quiet and
sedentary one. 1t Is office work and
there is no danger or excitement con-
nectcd with it,"
VERY good" returned the insurance
company official, who was putting the
finishing touches to the examination
before issuing policy; but how about
sports? Men who lead the quietest
business lives frequently engage IN
the most dangerous sports, and or
course anything like that counts"

The Ballade of Pot Boilers.


We have no time TO strive for fame.
Ours is a craft where one must grind
necessarily to fan the flame
That boils the pot that feeds our kind,
Yet in each head secthing mind
Composed Of thoughts, quaint fancy toilers
There gropes genius that is blind.
A toast to you, my gay pot boilcrsl
Posterity we cannot claim.
To but the hour we are confined.
Unsought by fortune, flcllle dame,
Her meager crumbs we search TO find
Taste of her fruits naught but the rind.
Yet do we scoff at care, we toilors,
For in our hearts mirth sits cnshrined.
A toast to you, my gay pot boiersl
What care VIC for an empty name
Since fame" means merely ito be
signedH"
What care we if our verse be lame
And jests return with Thanks, de.
clinedi"
For us the pretzel was designed
And frankfurts good as chicken broilers,
Though sometimes we subsist on wind
A toast to you,my gay pot boiersl
L'ENvoI.
On Pegs broad back we've meier reclined.
He fiips his tail at us despoilers.
But some day we'll catch ON behind
A toast to you, my gay pot boilers!
