young men indulge in games, with
little clothing on their frames. They
have a false and fatal pride because
| they're strong and sparkling-eyed, be-
cause their limbs are straight and
fne-they ought to have bow legs like
mine. Men go their errands, all in
vain, upon the sea upon the plain,
and all they hope and all they do, and
all the phantoms they pursue, are idle
as the toll of one who's throwing DOR
hicks at the sun. Why work and
sweat on land and scar Why not sit
hire and croak with me2-Walt

"No Hunting and mo Fishing"
signs are being plentifully sprinkled
over farms at this season of the year.

A man not used to talking through
the telephone thought all he had to
do was to take down the receiver and
talk to his daughter. When the Cen
trail answered, he said, g Is you my
daughter?" She said mo" and he
said, go to HE'LL The hello girl
told the manager about it and he went
to see the old man and told him he
would either have to apologize to the
girl or have his phone taken out.

he decided to apologize. He went to
the phone and said to Central, ''Be
you the girl told to go to hell Yes,
terday?" She said, ''Yes.'' The old
man said, swell you needn't go now.
Old Bill Shiftless has made a fail
ure of everything he ever tackled in
the way of business. He has even
failed when he took a swing at re-
ligion. But Bill will argue by the
hour that if the people would just
elect him to the Office he would make
a bowling success and save the count
try the first week he was in power.
He has always howled that the sue
cess of the other fellows has kept
him down. Bill has had number of
good jobs, but he failed to make good.
When he got good chance to put in
bill for services he always padded the
account and tried to make his en-
ployers believe that five dollars worth
of work was worth eighty. The
people are getting mighty tired of
Old Bill and his external bowling
and abuse of decent citizens, whom
he hates because they will not lend
him money and join him in his shifty
schemes. When Bill gets to point
where he can first reform himself a
little along certain lines the people
may decide to give him chance at
doing something for tie public.-Os-
