TODAY'S JINGLE BUDGET
Of EXCEPTIONAL CLASS
Jingle Editor Had More Diff
ficuIty Than Usual in Max
ing Selection.

Remarkably fine was the crop Of jingles
garnered for the Jingle Editor by the
mail man this morning. BY long odds
today's jingles were the best seen yet
as a class. On previous days there were
a few which scarcely reached the mark
of jingles. seeing that occasionally a
rhymester would forget to make his
jingles rhyme. But today's verses were
each and every one snappy and clever.
So clever. In fact, that the Jingle Editor
had a hard time making his decision
For instance, isn't this clever jingle
by w. A. Kibbey, $500 18th street north
west:
JEFF said Mutt, I gotta eat
And then he started out.
He put a want ad in The Star
And now he's getting stout.
No Address Given.
Here is a clever little thing in a few
words. signed "B. Dadd," but giving no
address:
Everybody works but father
Is the song they handed Dad

After inserting Star want adj
E. o. Gaines of 1890 w street north
west has the right idea His jingle runs
along as smooth as a sixty-horsepower
limousine on6a Long Island shell road:
"Said Annie Smith to Mary Jones,
Tomorrow win be Sunday,
I'll put a Want AID in the Star
And get job on Monday"
Miss Mildred S. Colt, Grant road. sent
in jingle which caused the Jingle Ed
itor some trouble, because 1t was of prize
winning caliber. He studied this long
time before making his decision. 1t is
a good one. Miss Colt:
1T is better to have loved and lost
Than to have married and be bossed.
But proper course true love preserves,
So give your wife the help she deserves
The maid or cook may always be had
II you send to The Star little want adj
Has the Right Idea.
Mrs. H. c. Zimmerman, 216A Morgan
street, has the right idea about jingles,
short. snappy and full Of ideas:
Mary. Mary. quite contrary.
HOW do you get a cook?
With a little want ad in The Star,
For that's where they always look"
Mrs. Fannie Gusack, 9O1 U street.
brings the talk OF the minute into her
Jingle:
Jim sought a job both near and far
Till wrinkles gathered in his brow,
He put want ad in The Star,
Believe me, Kid, he's working now"

August 26, when he came down street
in response to the fire alarm just af-
ter midnight. The condition of quite
number in the crowd was sufficient
proof that somebody bad been ped

systematic inquiry finally gave the
sheriff a pretty good description of
the guilty man, but 1t took about a
week to find out his name and adj
dress. He proved to be the Shawmut
man. and on looking up the facts
down there it appeared that Thomp-

pounds. This he brought in a team
