FOR THE LADIES.
Growing Old.

a little more tired at close of day;
a little less anxious to have our way;
"A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care for a brothers name;
And so we are nearing the journeys end
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
4 little less care for bonds and gold,
A little more geSt in the days of oldi
a broader view and a Saner mind,
And a little more love for all mankind;
And so we are faring a-down the way.
A little more love for the friends IF youth,
A little less zeal for established TRUTH;
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
a little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those lOng-loved and dead;
And so we are going to where all must go,
To the place the living may never know.
A little more laughter, a little more tears,
And we shall have told our increasing
years;
The book is closed. and the prayers are said
And we are a part of the countless dead.
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can say:
Il live because he has passed my way"

Pronunciation.

My friends were all grinning,
| felt in disgrace.
The gist of my SHINING
Was calling it vase"
Much time they expended
In changing my ways.
They claimed twas intended
To be pronounced 'vase."
But I've stopped their chatter
And that is because
I've settled the matter
By calling it 'vaws.'

For the Baby.

a Philadelphia artist, 'had a humorous
way of illustrating his arguments with
incidents from real life.
HE was arguing once on prohibition.
He described a trip he had once made
in the prohibition state of North Da-
kota. He told how he rode through De-
groat Maza, Benzolin, lola and other
towns in the Devils Lake neighborhood,
putting up for the week end at Mime
waukan.
las Remington was buying a cigar at
the Minnewaukan drug store on Satur-
day night a cowboy entered. He wore
a red shirt and bearskin leggings and he
carried a two-gallon demijohn.

Practical Poesy.
The bluebell and the daffodil
Have had their day
And made our pulses gently thrill
In roundelay.
But they are hackneyed, and the bard,
1t really seems,
Such vegetation should discard
For newer themes.
In fact, the time is now at hand,
Or so l ween,
To sing about the carrot and
The kidney bean.

"How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth"
An irritable old farmer and his I'M
calmly, sleuching son were busy grubbing
sprouts one hot, sultry day, when the
old man suddenly stumbled over a small
stump.
"Gosh durn that everlastin' stump!"
he exclaimed. 81 wish it was in hell"
The son slowly Strengthened up from
his work and gazed reproachfully at his
father.
"Why, you oughtn't to say that, pap"
he drawled. You might stumble over
that stump ag'in some day.''-Every-
body's.

The Tyranny OF Tears.
If you want to trample on the rights
of others; if you are incarnate s~el6shness
and desire to m~onopoiize the best of ev-
erything; if you are determined to have
your way whether it is right or wrong;
If YOU are bound to gratify your every
whim no matter what it costs others, all
You have to do is just to sit down and
CIV for it. and if it is within the bounds
of human possibilities you will get it;
A knowledge of the potency Of tears
seems to be born in us. 1t is the very
first thing that a baby finds out In this
foolish old world. By the time he opens
his eyes he begins TO shrek for what he
wants. and he shrieks and shrleks until
