"An Empty Sack Cannot Stand
Upright"

Neither can poor, weak. thin
blood nourish and sustain the
physical system. For strength of
nerves and muscles there must be
pure, rich, vigorous blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the standard prep
aration for the blood and its
many remarkable cures and the
fact that it does everybody good
who takes it prove it is just what
you need if you are weak and
languid.

TINE.

Tsme,
You old hot.footing
Reprobate,
Why don't you wait
A bit
And take a vacation7
Your endless treadmill gait
And give a fellow
A chance
To catch up with himself.
You grab a mar
BY the slack of his neck
And throw him into
The middle of the next century
Before he is old enough
To know how to handle
His think machine,
Or be happy,
For landing on his frontal outlines
And getting all scared up!
You face him
With an eight-day alarm clock
And hoodoo him into thinking
There is an eternity
Between the windings; ..,
But every tick drives a nail
Into his coffin,
And he turns ~gray-headed
While o run.
He eats dirt
III WCdIe rags,
And calls it civilization,
Because he is dazed
From humping along
In the trail of the dust you make
While dragging him
With a rope around his neck,
You old whirlwind!
Confound you!
You rope him
And give him a jerk,
And he has to be
multi-jointed,
Ambidextrous,
1~ron-hearted
Acrobat
To land on his feet
Once in a thousand years
Or knock out
A precarious living7
Stop it,
And give a man a chance
To clean the sane out of his eyes!

A journeyman halter. a companion
Of DR.. Franklin. was about to get up,in
business for himself and wished to have
an appropriate sign to put over his
door. He designed one that bore the fol
lowing inscription: John Thompson.

Of q hat. But he was not quite certain
Of tie suitability Of his sign, and he de-
cided to submit it to his friends for
their criticism.
The first that he showed it to object
ed to the word chatter" because it
was followed by the words "makes
hats" which sufficiently explained that
he was a latter. The word was struck
out.
The nexteaid that the work "makes''
was useless, because the customers
would not care who made the hats 80
long as they were satisfactory and the
price was not too high. He struck that
out also.
The third man said that the words
"for ready money might az well go,
as it was not the custom to sell hats on
credit; every one who bought expected
to pay. These words taken out, and the
inscription read. ''John Thompson Sells
Hats"
His next friend said '~'sells' might as
well come out, because nobody expected
him to give them away. What, then,
was the use Of the word? 'Sells'' was
accordingly struck out and that's" was
