POINTED PARAGRAPHo.

OIL magnates live on the fat of the
land. t@f
A mans best capital is his ability
and willingness to work.
Some men seem to have been born
asleep and forgot to wake up.
A terrible example is the first one
school boy encounters in his book.
The safest time to monkey with the
stock market is on Sundays and holi-
days.
One great source of trouble is that
most people talk faster than they can
think.
The man VINO jumps from a rapidly
moving train usually travels on his
cheek.
Nothing pleases busy man more
than to set two chronic bores to bor-
ing each other.
The greatest objection to cheap
clothes is that they usually make the
wearer feel the same way.
In an argument the long-winded man
succeeds either in convincing his oppo-
nent or in making him tired.
There's probably nothing on earth
that can get so badly stuck on Itself
as a sheet of postage stamps.
The first week a girl wears an en-
gagement ring she invariably forgets
her gloves when she goes out.
There are Two classes of men in the
worll-those who make fools of them
selves and those who don't have to.
What a delightful old world this
would be If all men were as perfect
as they think their neishbors should
be!
The average man finds it easier to
keep his enemies doYn than to keep
his fool friends from getting him down.

BY the West Side Poet.

This year again the EastSide fellows
Have started in to blow their bellows,
And in bombastic language tell us
To .'get our gum"
And intimate their going to quell US.
And stop our fun
In hunting heretofore they say
They merely wished to spend the day
And were regardless whether they
Got beat or not,
But now their going in to stay
And win the pot
Well take the pot: its certain you
viii need pot and skillet too,
And exc wash tub, ere your through
To cook the fishes
You can't prepare an oyster stew
Without some dishes.
You s'EastSide followers of the chaser
Don't seem to understand the case
You know its always been your place
To cook; not win,
So sling your hash out, say the grace,
And We'll be in.
1t takes a gritty disposition
To bare with life in your condition
Bucking against proposition
That never paid yet.
Quit, boy, and save your ammunition
Your cash and credit.
If you must hunt. though bear in
MIND
That any time you feel inclined
To try your fortune, you will find
We've got our gum
And if you don't get left behind
You'll have to run.
