Interfering With Their Snap.

Americans who stroll over into Next
CO looking for treasure or most any
thing that looks like q second cousin to
easy money sometimes bump into other
things besides gold and copper mines.
AS long as the natives consent to dig
holes in the ground and shovel ore
from them into a box car life is sweet
and sunny for the prospector, but
when the natives get tired of digging
and go on vacation or the warpath
things are not so pleasant
When the American miner gets up
in the morning and finds his favorite
engineer, who had not been complain
ing the day before that he needed ven
tilation, shot full of holes he is apt to
say unpleasant things about the gov
eminent and to express a. wish to his
private secretary or his favorite mule
that his great and good friend, Uncle
Sam, were the powers that be on that
side of the line.
OF course he can get another en-
gineer, but fracas of that sort is apt
to alarm his friends, who were grab

The Girl of Other Days.

Once | loved little maiden

She was just my kind of people,
And / think / told her SO.
But, alas, apart We drifted.
She to school and l to biz,
And our brief romance was ended,
But l wonder where she is.
We would wander in the meadows
When the weather wasn't rough
Planning how we should get married
Soon as we got big enough.
When the shades of evening length.
ened
Homeward slowly we would flock
ing
Out till after eight o'clock.
No one knew our tender secret.
No one guessed we were engaged
Or that underneath our Jackets
Such fiery passion ragged,
For we kept it under cover
Lest the boys and girls should cry:
"He's her feller!" She's his honey!
AS they saw us passing by.
1t was in the sober autumn
Or perhaps 1t was in May,
For l cannot quite remember
When her parents moved away
That we parted, vows exchanging.
Down beside the old mill dam.
But l often idly wonder
Does she wonder where I am.

Another Soulless Combine.

In these days when things are being
reformed while you wait, although
many of them never find it out, the
latest thing that calls for shifting is a
combine that has gathered to itself the
pills, powder and lotions of the land
and is now politely inviting us to pay
the price or leave them alone, just as
we see fit.
Congress may know how to handle
the drug trust, and we hope it does,
but if it is open to advice we would
suggest that it give the naughty com
bine a dose of quinne without any
jelly once every hour until it throws
up it's hands and cries Enough
If this does not do the work in four
teen days there are some other drugs
that you and 1 were obliged to take as
children that it could sandwich in be-
tween for good measure. In other
words, the drug trust should be given
doses Of it's own medicine in large
quantities and at regular intervals un-
til cured.

MAN, THE INSCRUTABLE.

Yoi meet a man and talk to him
For days and even years.
Together smoke your brier pipes,
Perhaps have sew raj beers.
But, though you seem to know hin
well
Through many a friendly chat,
You never dream what schemes ar,
stored
Away beneath his hat.
You cannot guess, to watch his face,
What visions stir his soul
Or where ambition has marked out
Aloft for him a goal
His only care would seem to be
To get his daily bread.
You never would suspect the plans
That rattle in his head.
He may have hoped some day to be
A senator and sit
Around the capitol as though
He had been raised to it;
Nor can you even make a guess
From outward signs you see
But what beneath his hat may buzz
A presidential bee.
You may be close to him for years
And never see a sign
That he has great ambitions in
Society to shine.
Ambitionless he seems to be
While resting in his chair,
But he may have it all blocked out
To be a millionaire.

When Inspiration Flags.

Kind reader, did you ever sit
And watch the moments lightly fit
And try to think with all your might
OF something very cute to write?s
The clock hands slowly moved along
Much swifter than your joke or song
And you have in an hour or so
Some paper clean and white to show.
It's easy when you read bit
OF poetry or sparkling wit.
Some one has dashed 1t off, you think
But test the thing with pen and ink.
or course there's no such word as fail
But try sonnet or tale
And see, as they refuse to Frame
The beauty of the writing game.
You think and think and think some
more
Until your intellect is sore
And wonder If you didn't miss
Your calling when you took to this.
The hour to go to press draws nigh,
And still your copy hook is shy.
So you fix up to make SLOW
Some ancient joke and let 'er go.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

An easy way to kill time is to take
chloroform.
People who forget themselves are
apt to make others sit up and take no
tice.
Gossip Is the circulating medium
with which the curious get paid for
getting busy.
There is nothing doing when a man
Is doing time.
The trouble seems to be that there
are so many born bosses out of place.
What some people lack in courtesy
they make up in stupidity.
There's only one thing harder than
being asked to explain, and that's ex-
planning.
Trouble is a commodity dealt in by
innocent looking people with burn
Ing desire to help in matters they
know nothing about.
He who invents a painless clamp to
hold the timber tongue in state of
rest will merit the deep thanks Of a
nation.
