- AsI4o1 IL AlfE.
There was man in our town,
OF lazy chaps the prince;
He sat upon a cracker box
Or perehed upon a fence
And all day long he held his place
And talked with everyone
Who passed that way and told them how
The country should be run.
His wife, really ought to state,
Kept hard at work from dawn till late
At night, and didn't cry or fuss
Because she'd wed a worthless cuss
The man of whom I'm telling you
Just loafed his whole life long
And said, It told you So each time
His fellow man went wrong.
He shook his head and ehewed his cud
And knocked his heels together
And held his own in arguments
Through every kind of weather.
IT'S true he didn't stand so high
And fortune lightly passed him by,
But little did he care for that
Quite unconcerned, he sat and sat.
At last he died-so many do
And peacefully he slept
That was no time to eritieise
His life, his poor wife wept.
The dreary clods fell on the box
That held his cold remains,
The parson said, set free at last
From toll and earthly palms."
And on his tomb these words. AT Rest"
Seem hollow moekery at best;
Inc greatest change death wrought In
Bill
Was that his wagging tongue grew still.

Goodbye to the roses and "midsummeN

Goodbye to the garlands of Junel
Already II seems half decade or so
Since we strolled by the light of the
moon.
Goodbye to the pledges we made by the
And the hearts that we drew on the
sand:
Twas little we cared for the inflowing
tide,
AS sat there just holding your hand
Goodbye to the cool, green curl of the
waves
And the spell of a brief happiness;
When you went back to town, with your
cheeks tanned so brown.
You left me bogus address
SENSIBLE scHUMANN-HEINK.
Listen to what Nine Sehumann- Heink,
the most popular of prima donnas, SAYS:
II never saw prize fight, but would
rather see one than watch a lot of women
who ought to be at home attending their
babies, while they are marching about in
the mud, waving red flags and screaming
about women's rights as they do In Lon
don"
We always did admire Schumann- Heink
and now we admire her more than ever!
A MESSAGE OF HOPE.

not the elimination of the Jew Gomez

upon Jewry-be worthy of the efforts
of the gentlemen holding the destinies

of their hands?
The Jew comedian is as unlike the
Jew as the stage Irishman Is unlike the
freshman. But there is this difference.
The stage Irishman exaggerates the
likeable qualities of the race; the Jew
comedian" makes a Roman holiday for
the barren spectator by caricaturing
the least attractive attributes of the
Jewish character. Presumably he sue
ceeds in amusing a certain proportion
of the purchasers of tickets; otherwise
he could not retain his position upon
the boards, but should that portion of
the audience he catered to at the ex-
pense of the patience of intelligent per-
of the pride of a people entitled to a
degrees of sensitiveness as a result of
world-old persecution in many coun-
tries and ill treatment more or less an
noying in all countries? Surely it is
a tremendous tribute to the good ma
ture of the Jew, or a mighty tribute
to his sense of humor, that he does not
rebel against the imposition of the Jew
comedian as he exists in places of
sundry races are invited to partake of
amusement provided for half dollar
or less.

 'The suffrage women, so at least dozen have assured me, now realize that to succeed at the task they must be good looking.
 " Men are apt to slight frowsy look ing woman, said a suffragist to me. and they have a feeling that dowdiness and woman suffrage go together. It is necessary to overcome that notion
 This same suffragist applied to me to be made better looking. She told me that for years she had been so busy de- voting herself to the cause she hadn't had time to think of her looks, and now she was positively untidy.
 "As a matter of fact, she was not fair sight to gaze upon. Her eyes were intellectual and her face of the type which we call strong. but she wasn't an attract i've woman.
 "Her case was a little discouraging for the reason that she had so thorougly gone to seed. She had washed her hair in the wrong manner for years, so that it was dry, gray, dull and stringy. Her other features and her clothes were equally wrong.
