Man About Town.
LAUGH a LITTLE.

Man About Town.
LAUGH LITTLE.
Ifyou have bills that's coming due.
And you feela little blue,
Give note and then renew.
Laugh a little.
Ifyour business isn't booming,
And hard times ahead are looming.
Don't give any trouble rooming.
Laugh little.
fyou by friends have been forsaken,
And by your girl been coldly shaken,
Pass the booze don't go to taken.
Laugh a little.
Clouds have ali a silver lining
Don't do any good replning,
Everything VIII soon be shining.
Laugh little.
People unknown to fame must estab-
lish their popularity. In our perambu-
lations we find those among us if their
names were not in the paper now and
then, would not be known to exist only
i'll the post Office and where they buy
their oat meal They have the unseen
label pinned on their coat ''1Ce are itn
history proves that. Postmortem ex-
aminations held on such people has
shown that the gray matter of their
brain was very much diluted ;if the full
glare of the lime light was turned on
them they would flee to the tail timber.
You can't censor the press, the penal
code makes libel when you injure the
finence or domestic relations Ever
since Ethan Allen stuck his head
through the breech in old Fort Ticon-
deroga and the scared British colonel
threw down his musket and exclaimed
"whose coming" and Ethan thundered
the great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress- This has been the home OF
the Flea and the land of the Knave.
Brethren keep your undergarments on
and walk in the middle of the road.
Silver Dale, Mike Hout's Plantation
is very nice place to visit pleasant
days. Mike is a horticulturist of no
mean repute. Some time in November
he grated n pigs tail to corn cob and
placed them in his green house. The
graft took and they thrived and day
he shakes the plant and gets all the
hog and hominy he wants. Mike is
proud of his ancestory; his grand
father built the first grist mill on Canoe
Run, and was a man prominent in
public life in his time, was noted for
his sterling integrity and love for beer.
His last days were somewhat clouded.

Town meeting coming soon. Ship
pen township was all in to the caucus.
The principal fight seemed to be for ash
barrel Inspector The stearing commit
tee has placed the price of votes at one
pound Of Arbuckles coffee, and will
probably add a little booze on election
day.
'Aint blowing much yet up the
Valley.
Uncle Peter Beattie says the Scotch
are noted for their longevity; he has an
uncle living in Maine who is 100 years
of age, chops his own wood, goes hunt
ing and fishing, chews tobacco and
f1irts with the girls. He says some
people are bothered about their an
cestry, don't bother him he traces his
right back to Adam and Eve. He says,
they teach history and mathematics
| different in the schools now days than
they did when he was young, every
| thing substracted must be of the same
denomination, you can't take four
apples from ten peaches nor five horses
from eight dogs, but he has seen sis
! quarts of milk taken from three COWS.
| They ask the children where the kings
of Europe were crowned. We always
thought they were crowned on the
head. Hesays if he made the laws OF
this country no man should be i'm
prisoned or put to death without his,
F., own consent.
! The people up the Valley that went
| to the automobile show in New York,
said it seemed darned good to see the
blamed things Gagged up.
Mary had little lamb,
And peck of onions too,
| She chopped them all up in pan,
| And made an Irish stew.
They tell. us that good man gets
/ A gold crown when lie dies,

hope they have my size.
