MIDNIGHT MED|TAT|ONS.
E. Dudley Parsons.

| While sitting in what some men call
, deep brown study the other evening,
/, thoughts began to rumpus through my
reasoner. It occurred to me that some
people are always trying to own some
! thing. It isn't easy, consequently most
of us are poor. But I'm contrary minded,
so my wife says. Therefore instead of
thinking of ownership, began to medi-
, tate on dis-owning
That seems easy at first, but like all
other things, it depends. You can dis
own rusty umbrella, a piece of ill-per-
formed work and needy friend with
twice the facility with which you can es-
cape the animal known vulgarly as ''the
yaller purp" ! don't recall the Latin
name.
Why is it that the color yellow has
fallen into such disrepute! You scarcely
ever see a woman wearing a yellow
dress. This is probably because she gets
lost in the maze of shades, which
stretches from "old gold" and includes
corn color" At any rate a thing des-
pissed of men is likely to be called "yel-
low" There is the "yellow terror" the
"yelow plague" "yellow journalism" and
the "yaller purp"
What recently tried to disown was
dog of this breed which an enemy,
who came by night, attempted to at
tach to my bed and board. He was well
developed, stern and bow; but there his
resemblance to a shapely ship ceased,
for his sides were concave. He seemed
part Shepherd, judging from his sheep

with black streak running down the

1 went on excursions until weary and
discouraged, trying to leave him in some
yard Alas! He followed me as ASST
duously as chicken, the mother who
refuses to appear on speaking terms.
Life was joyless. Putting him under the
buggy seat of man who was going ON
a far journey, Melted no satisfactory
results, for he gave himself away and
then the man threw him away. What |
to do!
