Don't Stop My Paper.

Don't stop my paper, printer,

And dollars hard to get;
But tug little harder

And scrape the dimes together
Enough for me and you.

To do witt out paper,
However others may,

To give me theirs on loan

own"
You can't tell how we miss il,
If it by any fate,

Or come little later.
Then all is in hubbub
And things 60 all awry,
And printer if your married.

And then to read it through,
And l read the leaders,
And scan the book reviews,
And read the correspondence
And every bit of news.

How TO Pop Corn.

Here is the proper way to pop corn
Put the regular auantity-that is, a
very small quantity-into the pepper
and hold it under the cold water
faucet long enough to thoroughly sat
urate the kernels. Shake the pepper
and place it on the back of the range
to allow the corn to dry. Then pop.
The kernels will be very large, and
there will be no hard center. The red
popcorn is thought to be the best.
