Interfering With Their Snap.

Americans who stroll over into Mexi-
co looking for treasure or most any.
thing that looks like a 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 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 favoritn
engineer, who had not been complain
ing th,. 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 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-
glneer, but fracas of that sort is apt
to alarm his friends. who were grab

When Inspiration Flags.

Kind reader, did you ever sit
And watch the moments lightly fiit
And try to think with all your might
OF something very cute to write
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 a bit
OF poetry or sparkling wit.
Some one has dashed it off, YOU think,
But test the thing with pen and ink
OF course there's no such word as fail
But try sonnet or a tale
And gee, 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 IL 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,
30 you fix up to make show
Some ancient joke and let er go.
