POOR As A CHURCH MOUSE
Since Confetti Came Into Use, m

large mound the bright purple. red
and yellow discs Of confetti which lit.
tered the church entrance and stems.

already IS weddings in my church.
And at every one of these weddings
paper confetti was thrown at the
bride instead Of rice.

used our churches were overrun with
mice. The saying. AS poor as .
church mousse was then meaningless.
Why, in my church, where weddings
are SO popular, several hundreds Of
mice-fat chaps they were. too
found an ample food supply In the
rice that was sprinkled over the
brides.
/, Nov that rice has been aban.
doned for paper confetti, these mice
have all disappeared. They were
starved out. They couldn't lfve on
paper"
I, Bending with difficulty to collect q
few obstinate pieces of the bright pa

the old sexton added:
! "Of course. these bits Of paper are
much more awkward for me to sweep
up than rice. But, even 80, hope the
confetti fashion has come to stay"

How to xii, Your Town.

Buy from peddlers as much
and as often as you can.
Denounce your merchants be-
cause they make profit on their
goods.
Make your town out a bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Glory in the downfall of man
who has done much to build up
your town.
Refuse To unite i'm any scheme
for the benefit of the material in
tcrcsts of the people.
If you are farmer curse the
place where you trade as the
meancst place on earth. Talk
this over to your neighbors and
tell them the men are robbers and
thieves. 1t will make your prop
erty less valuable, but you don't
care.
Tell your merchants that you
can buy goods a great deal cheap
er in other towns and charge them
with extortion. If stranger
comes to your town tell him every
thing is ovcrdone and predict
severe crash in the near future.
If you are a merchant don't
advertise in the home paper,
but compel the newspaper to go
elsewhere for its advertisements,
and howl like a sore head because
it does so. Buy a rubber stamp
and use it. 1t may save you a
few dimes and make your letter
heads and wrappers look as thou
you were doing business in a one
horse town-and you soon will
be.-Ex.

not long before had her portrait paint
ed. The artist had done his work we'll.
from friendly point of view, and the
lady was correspondingly pleased.
She was not, however, so blind as not
to see that the portrait was. as one
might say, trifle "idealized."
As she exhibited it to her caller she
said: what do you think Of it? Has
not the artist rather flattered met"
The visitor looked at the picture,
then at the lady, and with an eloquent
sigh answered: "Ah. my dear lady.
how could a painter sit in your com
pany and not flatter you?"
