Now, all you Lillipntian kids,
Just take a tip from me-
The big reporter out In front
Is wise as wise can be.
So when you make the chorus laugh,
Or try to do that same,
He'll always find a way, you bet,
To get wise to the game.
So when you wear such red, red socks,
Or else funny lid,
And lay scheme for back stage laugh,
As one Frank Cherry did,
A little bird will always tell

the funny antics of the miniature

danced out of their seats.

ATTENTION. ABE LouIssoN,

A pamphlet published in San Fran
cisco is being circulated in the inter
est of tariff on coffee. It is essential.
the pamphlet states, that we pay a
tariff of SO cents a pound on coffee.
that we may facilitate in the Ameri-
canization and Regeneration of Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. On
the 960,000,00o pounds of coffee this
country consumes annually. this would
mean a tax of about $S0.000,000 added
to our breakfast bill. The island pos
sessions mentioned would receive abotss
s4.o0o,000 of this sum, which makes 1t
seem an expensive and roundabout
method of Americanization and re-
Juvenation. There is good deal of
that sort of argument in favor of pro.
tective tariff.-Atehison Globe.
