MAUDIE UP-TO-DATE.

Maud Muller on a summers day
Got out the muck rake for the fray.
She ran the rake across John d.
And chased that worthy up tree.
She whirled II deftly fore and aft
And raked the meat from William Taft.
She even took a whack at Ted
And peeled the scalp from or his head.
She raked up Jonah and the whale
And left them labeled big Fish Tale"
She trpped on back to Rameses,
And mucked the skin from OF his knees.
She hammered Bryan with q thud
And raked away till he ran blood.
Methuselah she captured late
And killed him OF at forty eight"
She raked up Mr.. Samsons past
And showed that he was weakly cast.
And when the Judge came riding BY
She Jammed the muck rake in his eye.
Her muck rake's working neatly yet;
She hasn't overlooked a bet.
And it's a pipe. unless you've ducked,
The odds are good that you've been 'mucked.H
And II you haven't yet, beware
For Maude's muck rake's everywhere.

NOT NATURE Taxing.

It's cheaper to walk than to ride;
The center is not the outside;
The fellow with dough
Has more of a show
Than one who has nothing but pride.
A dollhouse is warmer than snow;
A mule that is dead cannot 60;
horse in the lead
Is better for speed
Than one that Is crippled and slow.
II isn't sweet spring in the fall;
One-half Is not greater than all;
A train that is wrecked
Will seldom connect:
A dwarf isn't noticesbly tall.
A crazy man seldom 10 sane;
A loss isn't much Of q gain;
A man in a boat
Is always afioat
Unless he has taken q train.
A dollar is hardly ";
A blind man the point cannot see3
A pain in the eye
Is not in the thigh,
Nor yet is 1t down In the knee.
You cannot 60 west going eastj
A bunion Is never a beast;
COW and half
Is more than a calf,
And a boarding house meal is no feast.

BOTH SIDES.

Some girls who in the blossomed way
OF romance long have tarried,
Now sitting up take notice and
Start wishing they were married.
While other ones, who married young
And made of life a bingle,
Are wishing they had tarried some.
And that they now were single.
That thing the witty Frenchman said
Seems true, 30 don't forget 1t,
That II you marry, or do not,
In time you will regret 1t.
But from the standpoint Of the man,
Staid business man or spooner,
When he is wed he wishes that
He had been married sooner.

The boy stood on the burning deck,

Impored him to skidoo,

Proposed to see 1t through.
