THE AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE. .

THE AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE.'
in New York Thursday night De Wolf
Hopper sang a new song, The American
Bllonaire,' which runs as follows:
I've come across the ocean
To see what / can buy
And on the bargain counters
Some good things catch my eye.
A few more wars AMI riots
And your papa herell go bail
That he can purchase Europe
At a dissolution sale
I'm an American Millionaire,
I've come over here to shop,
And nothng's too ric.l for pop.
I've billion in stocks ;.nl shares
And everywhere on earth | own a trust
Everything that you eat and wear
At home or across the sea
You'll soon have 10 buy from me,
For I'm an American Millionaire,
And I'm going to own the eartn or bust.
I've had a chat with Edward
And shown him whore he's at.
! think the situation
Made him lose little fat.
I've got his trans and trolleys;
And guess before I'm through
I'll close the deal with England
To buy the islald, too.
few of the jokes just follow:
Weber-What is c magnet:
Fields-Something that eats holes IN
cheese.
Weber-Is there any money il, faro
banks?
Bernard-All my money is in.
Weber-How much does it cost to open
a band?
Bernard two years, sorne-
times a lifetime.
Miss Templeton-Somet: In Japan a
girl does not see her husband until she
is married.
Fritz Williams-It's different here. She
seldom sees him after she is married.
Weber-Have banks been in existence
longer than sausage?
Bernard-Oh my, yes. Sausage dates
back only to the days Of Cincinnatus, bur
banks have been in existence ever since
the days of faro.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
(New York Press)

Only a fool doesn't know that a rich
girl is never fat, but only becomingly
plump.
No woman ought to be vain enough to
think her bathing suit is as becoming to
her as her nightgowns.
1t is the way of the world that women
can change other kinds of hair to red
but they can't change red hair to other
kinds.
Probably Noah forgot his anti-canteen
principles because after the ark landed
he knew it meant the biggest house
cleaning of his experience.
For six months after her first baby
is born a woman always acts in public
like the people were all lost in admira
tion of what she has done.

. OMAN AND SOCIET I

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone, III
That gives you a bit Of heartacha XIV
At the setting of the sun. TN
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way:
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone.
Which you had no time nor thought for
With troubles of your own.
Those little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
Those chances to be angels
Which we Door mortals find:
They come in night and silence,
Each sad reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a chill has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short, DEAR
And sorrow is all too great.
To suffer our slow compassion,
That tardies until too late;
And it isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone.
Which gives you bit of heartache,
AT the setting of the sun.

THREE LADIES RIDE MAN-FASHION

Three ladies caused quite fiutter OF
excitement at the opening meet Of the

They appeared sitting astride their
