OFF DAYS.

When you get up in the morning With a shado on your heart, And you're just so tired of working That you hate to make a start; When you miss your car and grumble. Seeing that you will be late, And you worry, worry, worry
 All the while you have to wait. It's a sign, a certain omen,-
 Take my tip and play 1t strong That you're up against morning
 When the whole wide world seems
 wrong.
 Trouble dogs you to the office,
 Trouble stands beside your chair, Till you grind your teeth in anguish , And you wildly pull your hair. twenty times you're interrupted,
 twenty times you have to say, Sorry but I'm broke, old fellow; Come around some other day. NO, don't wish any volumes, Paving Just dollar down; Darn these insolent book agents Wish there wasn't one in townl Welll'-the telephone is ringing
 Don't Know what you're talking bout This is not eeven-slxty.
 Please ring off and cut it out,p Evening finds you badly wilted And your temper's rather frayed And your conscience starts to hurt YOU s For the crossness you've displayed There's the office boy. the porter Everybody's felt your spleen And your golden-haired typewriter Wonoers what makes you so mean. But the blithest sort of person In the. toiling human throng Has those off days, days of trouble. When the whole wide world seems

OF which any record has been found
was started from New York road

This wayside tavern stood in the Bow

san FRANCISCO To DALLAS


Few people realize what II means
TO take an automobile trip from the
Pacific coast to Texas. The many
hardships to be encountered on such
a drive are quite different from what
one might expect on a drive over or
binary country roads To cross the
burning sands OF western desert
with water and civilization many
miles away in any direction is not by
any means the most pleasant exper-
fence. Such tour was made by Ray
ogden of San Angelo. who drove into
Dallas late yesterday afternoon Sew
eral months ago Mr.. Ogden left his
nome city in REQ touring car bound
for Old Mexico. After touring this
republic he stopped for a short while
in the city OF Mexico. From this city
he again drove into the United States
and headed for the Pacific coast The
coast cities were each in turn visit
ed and San Francisco made the next
stopping place. From San Francisco
the long trip was undertaken Mr.
Ogden will stay in Dallas for a few
days, and after making a tour of
Texas. will return to his home in

The Arseley House Colonial Train

devOting itself to the training of girls
for life in the English colonies, more
especially for farming life. Through
out the wheatfields of Canada there
is continual demand for women to
help on the farms, but the ordinary
servant is far from answering the re-
quirements. The girls at Arseley
House are taught plain cooking and
breadmaking (Which is not expected
OF an English cook, who gets her
bread from the bakeshop), riding. driv-
ing, stable management ana simple
carpentering. These unusual elements
Of education are to make the girls re-
