their face value, especially inasmuch
as many of them were indorsed with

Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
A wild birds song is a little thing
lost in the deeps of frowning sky.
And yet as it falls on a listening ear
and leaves it's message of melody,
earths green seems brighter and life
is sweeter, all through an autumn day.
The COO of a babe is little thing
meaningless sound from vacant
mind.
A mothers love is little thing-too
soon, alas, forgot!
But it typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine that
bear with patience calm and sweet the
wilful wrongs In these lives of ours.
A passing smile is little thing
lost in a world of toll and care.
And yet the soul with gloom OPP
pressed and the life grown wearied
with burdens hard will happier be In
the after-glow of smile that is warm
ly kind
A kindly word Is a little thing-a
breath that goes and a sound that
dies
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that 1t
sings and sings and sings till at last
it blends with the wild birds song
and the COO of babes In what men
call the celestial choir.

about sixteen miles east of Bonham,
who was an innocent party to the af-

harm In giving it to our readers. The
said newspaper man was sitting in his
Office, alone, smoking, when he had
occasion to use his telephone. He
arose. laid the cigar he was smoking
on chair and took down the receiver.
Just as he lifted the receiver a friend
stepped into the Office and started to
sit down in the chair. Not realizing
the operator could hear what he was
saving. and just as she was about to
say. Number, please?" in her sweet

hour later the manager called and de-

a Junior had defeated seven men. A
senior had as many victories to his credit.
They were pitted against each other in
the finals. The senior was quite bit
taller than Roosevelt, and his reach was
longer. He also weighed more by six
pounds, but Roosevelt was the quicker
man on his feet, and knew more of the
science of boxing. The first round was
vigorously contested. Roosevelt closed In
at the very outset Because of his bad
eyes he knew that mitigating gave him
his only chance to win. Blows were ex-
changed with lightning rapidity and they
were hard blows Roosevelt drew first
blood but soon his nose was bleeding. AT
the call Of time, however, he got the
decision for the round.
The senior had learned his lesson.
Thereafter he would not permit Roose-

reach and aided by his antagonists near
sightedness, he succeeded in landing fire.

Courtship is dead. Young men no

If another seems to be In favor, they
certainly do not write sonnets to their
mistress eyebrow-in fact, they
scarcely even go so far as to write
her letter. and if they do go to this
length the result is never worth re-
publishing in book form. Lovers do
not talk about their hearts, and SO

mated the severed twain have no
scruples about subsequently meeting
each other. In novels something must
be done to make up for the unro-

themselves or be killed >or die in
