AN OILERS CONFESSION.

Another summer wasted, gone,
And I an idler looking on!
From all the worlds vast harvesting
l garnered up not anything.
And yet methinks | may demur
A bit. a little to aver:
snapped a smile and traded some,
And killed an hour with a chum;
Mended heart another'd broken.
Kept still the while | might have
spoken;
Lost one sweetheart In finding two,
= And to a dozen more proved true;
Rode with the rich. walked with the
poor,
And lost the key to my own door;
! stunned the knave, talked with
the fool.
And found the whole wide world a
school;
Babe an old love a sad good-by.
(Would hearts we're mended with a
slgh.)
And. turning, much to my surprise.
Found a new love In two new eyes.
But summers gone; this worded
brief
Is just a playful hint Of grief.

Woman's Club House a Boon.

tIuD IIOu>t " DOOus
A feature of the Woman's club
house that seemed to impress all who
were present at the opening recep-
ton on Monday evening, was the
much-felt need 1t would meet in Pa
iucah's social life. The auditorium
is ideal for small dances and quite
large enough to meet the need of the
Cotlllion club, except for very espe-
cial occasions, perhaps, and will no
doubt be utilized by the club in its
entertaining this winter. The at
tractive dlning-room with it's COM
plete pantry and kitchen adjuncts
makes dinner-dances and large din
ner parties a possibility for many
whose homes are not suited to this
tax upon them. The building entire
Is charming for receptions and big
card parties and for introducing debu-
tantes where larger affairs than
usually given are customary. And In
the warm evenings what could be
more ideal than the upper porch ar
ranged as roof garden and used for
small dinner parties? The audi
forum. too. can be used to advan-
tage for small pricate musicales
which is form of entertaining much
affected in the large cities. The build
ing is delightfully."- planned and the
many attractive coy hooks about
and the pretty window seat on the
stairway landing seem especially
happy inspirations for dances. with
a larger auditorium that could be
used for balls and lectures and con-
certs. every need OF Paducah would
have ben met. As 1t is the Woman's
club should be able to swell its treas
ury very advantageously for enter
tanning there will certainly be a pop
ular feature this winter.

A Rat win Brains.

While standing in a large wood
shed, one end of which he had parti-
toned off with narrow Stats as a
fowl house, Mr. X heard a gnawing
noise, and looking about him saw
large brown rat darling away from
a dog biscuit lying on the floor OF the
shed He decided to remain quiet and
watch to see whether this thief would
return.
Presently he did, and slyly glancing
at Mr. X as If to say, Now you let
me alone and III let you alone" his
ratship began dragging the biscuit
over toward the Stat partition behind
which the fowls were clucking and
scratching. He reached the laths and
tried to drag the biscuit through them
after him. 1t would not pass, being
fat and broad
After some vain struggles with it,
the rat vanished, to return with an
other The newcomer he stationed in
side the fowl-house He himself came
out and seized the biscuit by one cor
ner He then began fitting it up on
its side and the adroit friend poked
his head through the Stats and steadied
it with him. In a few seconds the bis
cult was held between them 'up and
down" and between rat number ones
pushing without and rat number two's
pulling from within the barrier, the
prize was forced triumphantly through
the Stats. Waterman.
