along, spills out of his leather
apron many wonders.
Ihave seen a few.
But nothing caps the stack like
the things that happen when an
able-bodied case Of forty-rod love
gets breeches-holt on a couple OF
natural-born fools.
Sufficient proof that God is all
powerful is the fact that He can
find mates for some folks that
marry. Nothing short of Omnipo-
tence could do it.
It was my luck, not long ago,
to witness a scene that would
make Cupid crawl in a hole and
give Old Harry the blind stag
gers.
/ saw a love-smitten pair pre-
sent themselves before digni-
fed J. P. for. the purpose Of get
ting their feet hobbled in the
saw-briers of matrimony.
The groom was about half
drunk and staggered in putting a
cigarette that smelled like burn
ing hog-hair in a skillet. His right
breeches leg had a whelk running
whompergodlin across it from the
southeast three holes and one
patch to a rip that was not visible
when he sat down.
And the bride was one holy
sight. Her face could not possibly
have held any more ugliness un-
less it had been made bigger. She
carried in her left hand a snuff
box that would hold something
less than a gallon, while the gap
in her face was decorated with
two streaks of brown slobber
and a handspike that did service
as a tooth brush.
Imagine that pair of purity
things standing up in the pres
ence of God and man and de-
claring that they loved each
other! But they did it, all right.
Yes, they stood there side by side
While the knot was being tied;
/ That old stinker he did puff,
| While she dipped that nasty snuff.
There they made their solemn vows
To indulge in family rows,
And to work at least enough
70 buy cigarettes and snuff.
Now.I'm satisfied in mind
It's blessing Love is blind;
If he'd seen that pair, no doubt
! He'd have spewed his innards out.
And the dignifed ]. P. arose

A SERMON ON BOOZE.

Hello, you red-nosed booze
artist, and all you fellows who
whoop it up for Old Mr.. Booze.
Double up your. hind leg and sit
down on it and, listen to your
Uncle preach a few toots. Boys,
I can preach against likker and DO
it with clear conscience, because
I practice what | preach. ! am 80
years old and getting older every
day, and I can truthfully say that
not one drop of your Internal red
eve has ever had the privilege OF
aurgling down my dumplin- path.
I don't have any idea how the
nasty, stuff tastes, and if it tastes
half as bad as it makes some OF you
fellews act, I certainly have no
desire to taste it. Some of you say
it tastes good. Well, if it tasted
ten thousand times>,hetter than
honey and sugar and pound-cake
and candy and kisses, I'll be dad
swatted if I'd make an internal
nasty wallerin' wild beast of my
self for the sake of any doggon
taste. If the opening chapters of a
jag are so sweet and soul-satisfy-
ing in the matter of taste, how
about that taste that comes wad-
dim along toward the shank end
of the high lonesome? / have seen
'em come staggering home the
morning after with a breath that
would run a hungry dog off of a
gut-wagon and a mouth that must
have tasted like a buzzard-roost in
hot weather. And yet just as soor
rs they get over the effect of one
bender they 60 right back and
tank up again willing to repeat
the whole beastly performance
over and oyer and over just fol
the sake of. a taste. Don't that jal
your grand-mammy's pickles
But, oh, some red-snouted guzzlel
jumps up and says he don't like
the taste of the stuff, but he like.
the effect it makes him fee
good. Well, buddy, it must make
you feel thunderation sight bet
ter than it makes you look. Fo,
the sake of decency, if I were il
your place, I'd be willing t,
whack off a few joints of my goot
feeling and tack it onto my looks
That would sorter even things I'll
and make you more respectable.
Why, hangtake it, fellers, if
should ever be guilty of pourin,

THE HAND OF ROME.

GVCKyUOOy hAOW0 WlldI mink
of these wild-eyed fanatical fools
who go staving around trying to,
kill folks. It is hardly necessary
for me to say that the attempted
assassination Of Theodore Roose--
velt was the low down, sneaking
act Of a contemplate, cowardly
brute.
But let us keep history straight.
Let us place the assassin in the
class where he belongs and not
go around abusing people who
are in no way to blame for his
conduct.
You know it was first reported
that John Schrank was a Social
ist. The plutes just manufactured
that lie and sent it broadcast in
the hope of injuring the Socialist
movement. But their little plan
Edidn' work worth a cent. It soon
leaked out that Schrank, instead
Of being a Socialist, was a Roman
Catholic and a Democrat.
Oh, yes! A Roman Catholict
There you have it! That throws a
whole flood of light on the situ-
alton. It is only another link in
the great chain of Roman Catho-
lie crime that stretches from
Lincoln on down to the present.
It must be more than a mere CO.
incidence that Lincoln, Garfield,
Mckinley and Roosevelt were all
shot by Roman Catholics. Also
you remember the shooting of the
mayor of Chicago and the mayor
of New York both shot by
Roman Catholics.
What does it all mean?
Simply this that Romanism is
the rankest enemy that free
government ever had, and her
life of open adultery with Nam
mon has been the prolific source
of more ignorance and crime and
misery than any other agency
known.
The poor little squint-eyed
Catholic crank who tried to kill
Roosevelt is bound to have gotten
his ideas and his inspiration from
men like old Phelan, the Catholic
priest who said: ITO hell with
the government of the United
| States!"
! Now see here, Mister Reader!
Here is another fact that | want
to rub under your nose. IF you've
| got sense enough to scare
mouse out Of the meal-tub, you
know that Socialism and Roman
ism are the bitterest of enemies.

PENNIES ARE PURE COPPER
Utilization of Electricity Has Materi. ally Reduced Cost of Re-
 lining Metal.

A penny is made from almost chemically pure copper, which is ob- tained by the new electric methods. Formerly the refining of copper was an expensive process, but with the utilization of electricity the expense has been materially decreased. The copper is placed at one end of a tank which is filled with water. This is called the anode, or positive pole. The action of a powerful electric current releases the copper, carries 1t through the water and deposits it on the negative or cathode pole. The result is what is known as electric ity" or ''cathode" copper. It is what pennies are made of. While the "electrolitic" is the purest known copper, the flake" copper brings slightly higher price in the mar ket. This is because there is small amount of silver in all the copper from the Lake Superior re- gions. It is so small that it cannot be separated at a profit. Silver, however, is a better conductor of electricity than copper, and there- fore, for commercial purposes, the "lake" copper is in such demand that it brings a better price.

WHERE HARD LUCK PREVAILS
London 131 Men Who Lost &5 Note In One Day.

The dear old gent was evidently a gatherer of statistics, and with a beaming smile was gazing down the street. Suddenly he stepped up to a gentleman who was waiting for a train, and, tapping him lightly on the shoulder said: "Excuse me, but did you drop a $5 note?" at the same time holding out in his hand the article mentioned.
 The gentleman questioned gazed a moment at the note, assumed an anxious look, made a nasty search of his pockets, and said: "Why, so I did, and I hadn't missed it," holding out an eager hand. The elderly hunt CT of statistics slowly drew forth his notebook and said, '1 thought so." He then took the name and address of the loser, and, putting the note in his pocket, turned away.
 "Well," said the other, edo you want it all as a reward?"
 "Oh, I did not find one," re- turned the benevolent one, with an- other beam, ''but it Struck me that in big place like London there must be a quantity of money lost, and upon inquiry I found that you are the one hundred and thirty-frst man who has lost a 95 note this morning."-Ideas.
