FROM THE SODA FOUNTAIN

calls for the higher price drink. In this
way we are steadily working away from
the five-cent business
Naturally he calls for the higher price
drink" Certainly. No gentleman wants
the lady with him to think he has only
a dime besides carfare. The Lewistown
expert reads human nature Alright. You
aren't surprised to find that he instructs
his clerk Ito size up each customer
or to learn that he goes about the tables
asking people il they are satisfied, and
if they aren't giving them something DIFF
ferent 'for no extra charge" and thus
making life long friends" 1t is neces-
sary, too, to pay especial attention to
tha children. This same expert makes it
a point to give them fans and pictures,
thus firmly attaching them as steady Gus
toners of his fountain.
Other matters of moment to the trade
claim their full share of attention from
the Fountain. Tt tells of the strike pf
the young women of the Monticello Girls
college against the oyershrewd dealers OF
North Alton, who advanced the price
from five to ten cents. The young wonl-
en- went to st. Louis for ice cream soda
all autumn, and at Christmas the dealers
yielded and went back to FIVE cents. South

sign, Hot Soda-43 Different Kinds
Served Just Right has done splendid work
as a fountain trade winner" Operator
of New York urges dispensers to cult
vate q proper expression. jerks of Chi
cago protests that the dispenser doesn't
get fair treatment: 81 know lots of the
boys. There isn't a more hard working
employee in the United States, and they
get the worst of any deal that an en-
poyer sees fit to work. If there is any
salary to be cut it is always the soda
man first; it does not make any difference
how hard a man has worked all sum
mer we always get it in the fall or as
soon as a cool breeze strikes town..
Evidently life isn't all chocolate ice
cream soda and strawberry sundae to the
dispenser. But they have this consola-
ton: The Fountain gives their side

Demand For Truck Farms.

'There is a brisk demand for truck
farms within a radius of 80 miles of Biz
Il ingham,' said B. T. Eborn, some
good sales have been made recently in
Jefferson and adjoining counties. In
quiries for small farms come from diff

are especially numerous from the north :

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

from the New York Press.
Where a widow has so much sense is
in knowing il isn't necessary.
The man who inherits money generally
also inherits faculty for getting rid
of it.
Tine way to keep friend is to see very
little Of him and to want nothing at all
from him.
Making a virtue of necessity doesn't
discourage the one who has to do 1t from
making loud noise about how It was
voluntary.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

TIE SUNSHINE WAY.
That man is wise
Who makes the best
OF life and lives
1t with a zest:
Who doffs his hat
To beauty's smiles
And walks where love
The most beguiles.
He Will not waste
The year with groans,
Nor wall his fate
In doleful tones.
He'll just be glad.
Howe'er he may,
And leave regret
With yesterday.
The fool elects
To grope along
In wales removed
From light and song,
His shoulders bowed
Beneath the weight
Or human cares
A worthless freight
When he, forsooth.
Might lay them down
And end his days Q
In Laughtertown.

No jokes we heard in Wang"
Therell be no photograph to vex,
No Central's Busy now"
No civic problems to perplex,
No prisons to endow.
Therein be no trusts, no octopi.
No chaps who rake the muck,
No well-fed grafters riding by,
No undeserved hard luck.
Well bid farewell to frauds and fakes
OF many varied kinds,
No more will tipping wights see snakes
And lose their cheerful minds.
The preachers will be heard to preach
They'll quit the spotlight game,
And all We want we'll find in reach
And frolic free from blame.
The cranks will simply fade away,
There'll be no anarchists,
No millinery bills to pay,
No raucous pessimlsts
This life will be round of song
Brinful of mirth and cheer,
And right will always conquer wrong
When the golden age is here.

Minnie Harlan saw the stranger;
Saw that he was weak and weary;
Took him in and filed him quickly
With the leavings from the tables.
It was in the time of Christmas
Time of cheer and time of plenty.
Then she sought the boss and told him
Of the stranger in the kitchen
Told him of the weary walking
All the way from Kansas City,
Where the stranger had been fired from
Just because he had got jagged and
Could not work at biscuit shooting.

Until he had eaten through it.
Then outside the door he ambled-
Exit pie and farewell piker.
In the art of roughhouse making

Trifing some with her affections
Is not now considered healthful.
And the piker who has tried it,
It Is best that he be nameless.

Minnie saw he was not coming
Through with any sum of money.
In the use of the invective
Minnie Harlan was not slouchy.
Into him she threw it swiftly,
Like the hot soup from the ladle.
In the choicest ohophouse language
Minnie then addressed the piker-
Said he was a chump and welsher,
Also cheap screw, phony, moocher;
Called him two spot, bloke and wuzzer,
Said he was a zap from Yapville
And a skate from down the river. ETEwyw

Minnie also SHE'D utensils,
Using them for punctuation;
Hurled a plate with such precision
That it spoiled his face forever;
Slammed a stove lid on his stomach,
Pot Of beans against his bosom;
Hit him with the mashed potatoes
And a fricassee of chicken.
All the time the guests were lodging
Round the tables in the grill room.

Farther down toward the river,

One day Minnie Harlan saw them
Sauntering along together,

Or she'd put him out Of business.
Waiting then for half a minute,

Sure, she could have bawled him out then,
And the gazelle would have shared it,
But would that have helped to get her

Made a sneak and held her temper.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1908-11-27

Thus equipped to make a conquest,
He threw googoo eyes at Minnie
Threw them hard and threw them often
Until finally she wilted.
Then he took her, unresisting,
In his arm and Rugged and kissed her.
He was hers and she was his'n
For a week or ten days, maybe,
Until he had met another
Out upon the public highway.
Met a gazelle with a light step

All hat she could lay her hands on.
Nothing else was there remaining
But a pie; twas made Of custard.
This she seized without a tremor.
With a cry she sent it hurting
Through the air, and safe 1t landed
On the visage of the piker.
With his face all plastered over,
Surely he was out Of business
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1908-11-27

Pans and plates were flying wildly,
Walls were spattered with their contents
While the boss had taken refuge
In a corner, with a table
Upturned there to shield and hide him.
And the piker, he was hiking
Fast around the room and lodging,
But at every throw was getting
All that could be coming to him.
Everything was thrown by Minnie,
