seated in the village Inn. The father
had partaken literally of the home
brewed beer, and was warning his
son against the evils of intemperance.
Never drink too much. my son. A
gentleman stops when he has enough.
To be drunk is a Disgrace"
Yes, Father, but how can l tell
when l have enough or am drunk.
The old man pointed with his fin
ger, DO you see those two men sit
ting in the corner? If you should
see four men there, you would be

The boy looked long and earnest

The Suspicious Turk.

John w. Gates, the noted financier,

Your quotations show suspicion

diplomat Mizrim Bey.
"Mizrim Bey was once taken to the
Sock Exchange. There the methods
of stock speculation were explained
to him and he a shown the marvel
of the tickers, ticking off the last
quotations from every market in the
world
well, what do you think Of il?

But Mizrim Bey, instead of being
overawed, yawned and answered
coldly:
For my part | should prefer to
play in a game where | could see the
cards shuffled'."

But the applicant shook his head.
No, chief, he admitted frankly.
That's beyond me-

God Made A Woman.

Then full of hate, with eyes of stone
God fashioned woman from a bone;
First came the heart to curse and
bless,
And filled with love and w%antonness,
All hell's delight, all heavens dis
tress.
Then to himself God smiling said,
THE hearts the least; far more the
head"
And Ger the heart he mouled fair
The bright destruction of her hair,
And therein set for man a snare.
In front God painted fresh her face,
All innocent, divine of grace;
But underneath the angel mein
He hid a devil, dark, unclean,
A monster thing whose gaze was
green.
Into the face he set the eyes,
Full of beguilement and surmise.
OF prayer and passion, make believe,
And tears and laughter to deceive
The soul of man God meant to
grieye.
The nose and mouth he fashioned
next;
The nose precise; the mouth per-
picked
With virtue and the quenehless thirst
For fruit %forbidden; blest and
cursed
With longings for the best and
worst.
Then loud God laughed and said
again:
Without the body all were vain"
And underneath the head he set
The neck and breasts, like roses met;
And arms; all portions of the net.
The torso then and limbs of snow,
He made and fixed hem fair below;
And in her feet and In her breast
He breathed the spirit of unrest.
And vanity of soul distressed.
Behold" God said, my master
piece,
Through whom the world shall know
increase,
And mar will give me thanks, /
know,
And praise my work; and, heart
aglow,
Accept my gift and all his Woe"

And ruined his financial health

And instantly saw through it,
And stole the plans which were laid

For bringing in the dollar,
But ere we realize our dreams,
We raise an awful boiler;

Before We really knew it,
Secured a patent on our plan;
In short, he beat us to it!

Keeping Up With Lizzie.


This here's a Parable, a Tract
To teach a wasteful, s~pendthrift
Nation
That Want and all our woes, In fact.
Are due to Snobbish Emulation.
1t paints a town where every mar
And family grew fairly dizzy
With wild extravaganza, and ran
In debt, through Keeping Up with
Lizzie.
For Lizzie'd been to boardin' school
Cat twenty thousand cents per
quarter),
Where how to spend, an how to fool
Her time away was all they taught
her.
She came back home a blazin' star,
An KEEP her pa a~-scratchin' gravel;
She had to have her tourin' ear,
Her parquet floors, her foreign
travel.
Then everybody bought machines
BY m%ortgagin' their homes to get
'em,
An s%plurged an lived beyond their
means
To hold the pace that Lizzie set 'em.
Now Lizzie's pa, he KEEP a store
For sellin' coffee, tea and spices;
And, as he found he needed more
For Llzzie's fads, he boosted prices.
Then everybody took the cue,
The cost of Twin upward sending
With bills that grew an grew an
grew
To squeeze the cash for reckless
spending.
But folks can't flourish overlong
By merely bleeding one another.
So Credit oon was far from strong;
The loads of debt began to smother.
When Lizzie learned how matters
lay
That Ruin threatened friends and
neighbors,
She led a march the other way;
She turned from Waste TO house
hold labors.
An now-why. every man an wife
An boy an girl in town are busy
Developin' the Simple Life
BY way of Keeping Up with Lizzie.
