good morning as he clucked to DOB
bins and hurried homeward to dress
for breakfast and his day in the city.
And after Doctor Johnson came Bill
Pelham, nature faker built like q
pipe-cleaner, who came to the suburbs
with hardly enough breath to make
first base on two-bag hit.
And it was great fun, in those days,
to watch Pelham dig tree. When he
had become innoculated of the simple
life bug and injected with the viris Of
tree digging, he had to wear straps on
his wrists to brace the tender muscles.
And how the fresh air and the digging
did put color in his bleached-out Of
flee face and braces in his spindling
, back!
And, by and by, as puttered with
the rake, Bill Patch came along to see
about those rose bushes. Davis and
Woods and Roderus passed with their
plumber of vines and bushes. My, what
lot of fresh air bugs!
And up on. the hill, Doug. Robinson
was still yawning in bed and asking
his wife If it was a sunny morning.
Doug. was vaccinated but it didn't
take.
And this is the way the simple life
suburbanites out in my town earn
their breakfasts. Down at the station
Doctor Johnson tells you of when he
was spindling and weak, when his:
breath was short and his head ached.
Look at me now" said the doctor
swelling heroically, until one looks,
nervously at his vest buttons and cal
culates their strength.
"And Elwell-you know Elwe1l down;
by the springs. Well, he was Chi
cago dentist and he came out here to
die. He was all run down, and re-
signed to his fate. Today he is as.
hearty as am! That's what this air
and tree digging does for man."
And the doctor is right We all stay
too much indoors. There is health and
happiness to ALL but M nne can be
happy without it.

Idle Thoughts.

A suburbanite can buy more trouble
IN. a dollars worth of garden seeds
than some men can in dollars worth
of booze.
1t is surprising how a city man can
spoil $47 worth of clothes planting ten
cents worth of spring peas.

"Mebbe you'd like to put a piece
about me in yer paper" quavered the
old man, hobbling up to the city ed.
itor's desk.
What have you done?" demanded
the arbiter of publicity's destiny.
"Nothin' much, but I was a hundred
year old yesterday"
"A hundred, Ell? But can you walk
without stick, and read dne print
without glasses?''
"N-no."
"You are an impostor!"
The old man broke down and con.
fessed that he was only 97.-Clevelano

out where he wants post hole and sets
the dog on him. The hog bores hole
in 4 second, and when the hole Is deem

pail Of swi1l. He then stakes It out
where he wants the next hole, and re-
peats the operation. A mile OF poat.

For childish fingers, soft and pink,
And where the meadowlark and thrush
Their rival fittings interlink,
A sturdy boat is calling me
To join the rivers revelry!
Where f1sher-kings their triumphs scream
And red-heads crate their raucous cry
This boat il rocking to and fro
Beneath a flushed and rosy sky.
"Ah, como and let us float away
To glory scenes Of yesterday!'
All up and down the pulsing shore
The shade is prism kissed and cool,
And lilies nod in artful grace
Upon the mirror Of the pool
"Ah, let us gather them, say,
For her beloved, of yesterdayw
Not so. o boat Of youthful joys,
Not so, o dream Of long ago,
No more within thy cockled shell
Shall we go drifting to and fro
Instead of rowing you, old scow,
I'm splitting kindling for her now!
. Q 9
How to Get Married.
Making love and getting married in
this country Is fun for the girls, but
it's different in the Arctic regions. If
Young Fshblubber is Spoons on the
! second daughter of Old Spearface, he
proceeds forthwith to the abode, where
she is sheltered, grabs her by the hair,
or by the ear, and yanks her along
homeward. Here she has to fish and
cut bait until death do them part"
The Japanese love and proposal Gus
toms are dainty and pretty. The
young man there who is becoming so
ratified he cannot get along without
some kind Of settling, pro or con,
throws bunch of plum-fower buds
into the girls rickashaw as she is
carried past to the wedding of a
friend. If she wears them, she is "all
his'n.'' If she doesn't, he can go away
and drown himself or his sorrows, &C.
cording to his own prediction.
In Hungary, the gypsies bake cakes
containing coins. The lover losses the
loved one cake. If she eats the
cake and retains the coin, it is a sign
that he can keep right on supplying
her needs in both directions. If she
eats the cake and returns the silver
he is out of pocket only the dough and
! few wet tears.
In Arabia the girl minds her flocks.
The lover arrives and attacks her.
She replies with stone and sticks,
used as flatirons may be later in life.
If he succeeds in driving her into her
fathers tent she is his honeysuckle
If he is repu]sed, disgrace goes with
him. In Arabia it is always WE'LL
therefore, to avoid the virago and
tackle the sylphlike inamorata.
The Mexican lover plods all night
in the street before the house of his
fair entrancer. If she approves, she
sits at the window and watches him.
Bon voyage!
And this reminds US that when we
got ready to get married, we went out
into the road and stood there, all
dressed up and smiling. Pretty soon
we saw woman coming up the pike
hunting for us. We stood right still,
made believe we weren't looking, and
were caught red-handed. Then we
went to preacher and got the knot
tied. For simplicity and naturalness
our system takes the bun from all the
foreigners in the country, and if our
wife doesn't see this, the plan will go
ringing down the ages as the most
Economically sweet on record.
But remember, fellows, you must
stand perfectly still when you see em
coming!
