DANGERS OF coNcE1,

DANGERS OF CONCElT.
My boy, don't be conceited,
Twill not do.
The world was long completed,
Before YOU.
Don't think it wobbed and wiggled,
Or from out it's orbit Jiggled,
When first you gooed and giggled,
'Tisn't true.
Don't think when you are travelling
Out afar,
And the train stops With a sudden
Jolt and jar,
That the engine in it's gliding
Is stopped and backward sliding,
Because your weighty self is riding
When you slip and fall and crack the
Hard, hard ice.
Don't go and read the paper
In Il trice,
10 see II you can find a
Tale of earthquake DER in China
At about the time you fell-it
Isn't nice.
Don't tnlnk when you are walking
Up the street,
You're the cynosure of all the
Girls you meet,
10 you may mistake their real bent
Flattery be not their intent,
They may only pass harsh comment
On your feet.
I've seen a man all swelled up
In his mind.
Because everyone was staring,
Just to find,
AS along the street he hasted
That his self conceit was wasted,
He Just had a "l<ick Me" pasted
On behind.

Kentucky and a number of the demo-

southern states in congress, all insist IN
an unhesitating manner that the silver
issue will not be ignored at the Kansas
City convention, and that the Chicago
iplanks will be reaffirmed. with anti-im-

declarations vying for first place.
In other words, the expressions OBJ

Senator Jones, chairman of the DEM

only a matter Of opinion and Judgment.
No positive platform has been outlined
and we look for more changes in the

doubtless influence the manner in
which we shall draft our platform.
But I have no hesitation in saying that
Fl believe the Chicago platform will be
lreaffirmed without dissension of n for

the nominee of the democratic party.
At present the three great issues Which
