A clever lawyer sent these verses to
a friend of his few days ago:
My horse went dead and my mule went
lame
And 1 lost six COWS in poker game:
Then a hurricane came on summer
day
And blew the house where | lived away.
And an earthquake came when that was
gone
And swallowed the land the house
was on;
Then the tax collector he came around
And charged me up with the hole in
the ground.

The Sweetest Sound

The bluebird's call is pleasant
This opening time Of year;
Also the robins carol,
Whenever 1t strikes the ear,
And welcome, though it's plaintive,
The marshland froggie's call;
But one will soon be coming
That beats them one and all.
IT'S not from bush or bramble,
IT'S not from fence or lawn;
IT'S not from thrush or robin
At breaking of the dawn.
IT'S from the throat Of mortal,
Two words, and that is all;
But o. 1t thrills the list'ner,
IT'S simply this: PLAY BALL!'

THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY

A universal truth will not get far in this world without repetition. Somehow the adaee above quoted is of such general application that it's re- statement meets the appreciation of practically all of us. Since time immemoria there have been fools, and since the dawn of history there has been money or its equivalent. Frequently there has been mesalliance between the man without sufficient brains and the coin his father saved.
 New York seems to be the center toward which most of these weddings gravitate, but here is a specimen which never got farther than his ancestral state, the far-famed home of great men, the grand commonwealth of Ohio. Linus Beck, of Fostoria, is twenty years old and in love. At least, he was in love, and to that fact traces his troubles. He knew he was in love, but was not sure about the reciprocity end
 Linus had been a good boy and had saved the pennies until they grew into dollars. His father and mother were proud of him. and the other boys in the neighborhood often had him point ed out as a fitting model in the young man line
 Linus had little farm and he had $498 43 in the bank When his heart troubles became acute, he just got reckless and determined to spend several dollars for some love potion or some charm which would set him at rest regarding the sentiments nclosed in the heart of his adored one. -"
 About this time, Linus read an account of three clairvoyants who had arrived in Fostoria to attend to just such cases as his. He decided to visit the sooth-sayers and confde in them They soon learned that Linus had some real money. So he was told to take an armfu of it and place it on his chest After time he was to intrust the money to one of the trio, who would say some incantations over it and then read the stars. The answer would be simple It was. Linus returned for the money and read ings from the aerial heights only to find an empty room. He felt hurt at the thought that his love confession to strangers had met with such an end, and he next confded to policeman, who told the press.

 You may not find steel beams certain rare care to invest in these, some of the firms that are regular patrons of The Silver Belt advertis- ing coums will be glad to supply them. As soon as there is demand for any article or class of goods there will be some progressive merchant or specuatOr who will announce through the press that he can supply the want Globe may not be as cosmopolitan as some cities, but the needs of the residents are catered to in a satis- factory manner.

DIVORCE PROBLEM AGAIN

A Detroit judge the other day looked sharply at a woman who was before him asking a di- vOrce, and then said:
 ~ recognize you. l gave you divorce not qulte three years ago. It was for cruelty In less than year you take up with another man, marry him after a month $ acquaintance live with him two months, and then apply for an other divorce l won't hear your case, You'll have to go to some other judge''
 The woman went and the other judge gave her the divorce It seems that her second husband used to chase her with a shotgun when he got drunk-which was so often that there was hard ly time todo the housework between Marathons.
 Now what shall we think of that woman $ case! Shall she be blamed for trying second time after her first love beat starved, and kicked her into the divorce court! And shall we say that she must not try again, now that she has escaped her second mate with his load of booze and his gun load of buckshot?
 That woman has right to live her life. She has right to seek for decent husband, a pleas ant home, and loving family She has made two bad starts, but hasn't she been the one to suffer?
 Why should the learned judge be sore? He didn't need the arnica during the first masri- monal voyage, nor the chain shirt during the second.
 Just because some big brute has beaten wo man half to death or chased her with oun is no reason why she shouldn't try to help her matrimonial average Isit?
 And if 1t is, then what remains for her? Shall she renounce forever the hope of being happv Wife and mother? Shall she take up a lonely struggle for livelihood, and look forward to lonesome, loveless old age?
 somehow It doesn't t seem that that judge was exactly lar when he sjumped" the perennial plaintiff.

ECONOMICS OF RAT KILLING

Dr. Koch's report of successful experiments made with cats for the destruction of rats in plague infected and plague menaced ports of China is quoted as the basis of decree just made by the government of the German colony of Togo on the gold coast. Hongkong's order providing for the maintenance of at least one cat in each house, three being required in the larger establishments is followed In every public building in Togo where people congregate, such as schools hospitals, and prisons, cats are to be kept as part of the official establishment. In ad- dition foreigners and natives alike are urged to use the same means of protection in their homes, the fear of the pleague being the inn polling cause of the order From the administra- tive viewpoint the old French saying "A good cat deserves good rat, ;" will be modified to read, A good cat Is the one getting the bad rat
 The Berlin news note telling of the elevation of the cat to official position in the civil service accompanies London indication of the way in which the crusade for the extermination of the rat, primarily a sanitary movement in the in- terests of the public health is being utilized for economic ends. During the first nine months of the present year the imports of fancy goods into England had an approximate value of $3,250- 900. Chased in this category are many such ar ticles as gloves, cigaret cases, purses, tobacco pouches, and similar commodities made out of leather When it is stated that fancy articles made from rat skins imported during the last year had a value of $250,000, and this total is compared with the aggregate already mentioned it is clear that the hated rodent has become an economic factor of considerable importance.
 The difficulty of tanning such small skins is being overcome, and if the widespread popular prejudice against the rat can be conquered, man ufacturers see a profitable way to assist the world campaign against the little animal now under sharp watch as a carrier of disease For the present there must be subterfuge the real source of the material being concealed. The : ''Pinafore" ntimation, "Things are seldom what they seem; skim milk masquerades as cream,'' finds abundant illustration in trade aI- ready. So the dainty articles made of rat skins may not be advertised as of such character. But the figures of the business tell of an increasingly profitable industry representing the economies of rat killing

If poor advertising mediums were EN- TIRELY worthless, they would not be dan gerous For they could not, then, make any appeal whatever to sensible advertisers,
 But an advertising medium which has a LITTLE MERIT is, like "a little knowl- edge" dangerous thing" Some business men there are. always, who-for considera- tions of "cheapness," etc,,-will either rely upon such mediums wholly, or give them an absurdly large part in their advertising cam paigns.
