TIT FOR TAT.
(Reynolds Press

This has been a week OF accidents in
this locality. All of them have been
painful and unfortunate, but the one
Monday evening had rather an unusual
cause.
A very fair and winsome little wom-
an who, by the way, proudly claims
the Reynolds high school as her alma
mater, had generously consented to as
sist her father with the milking.
Putting on the right sort of a work
ing suit, she topped out her uniform
with a big fetching straw hat, one
quite similar, indeed, TO those worn
here through the merry month Of May
by the 1912 girls of the R H. S. From
the force of habit she fastened it with
big steel hatpin, one of those sharp,
murderous instruments, you know. that
make men fearfuIly shun women in
crowds.
The COW selected was mild and meek
and. without thought OF pain or panic,
she gave the gentlemanly looking young
lady sitting room on the right hand
side.
All went well for a spell and the
shiny pail beneath was filing fast
with the foamy. creamy fund.
Suddenly the fair operator turned her
head to one side to pensively gaze at
a twinkling western star
But she didn't have time for pen
sive gazing or much else
Feeling herself severely stabbed in
reason, the COW kicked and plunged
and stamped and bawled in frantic
protest against this cruel assault on
/ her dignity. peace and comfort

j teal lass met with many q h1nD and

THE BROOK AND A MOUTH

For men may come and men may go.
But go on forever.'-Tennyson
And like The Brook" is Teddys Mouth,
Its movements ceaseth never.
For men may come and men may go,
But it goes on forever.
The poet sings in tinglinE rhyme
The Brooklets silly babble,
sing in frenzicd verses crude
The Colonels raucous gable.
From dewey morn till set of sun,
From set of sun TIL dawning
That strenuous Mouth works on and on
Despite a nations yawning.
The lawyers tongue may sometimes
rest,
The burglar cease to burgle,
The winds may fall. but still That
Sure ceaseth not to gurgle.
The tides will rise and then recede
Into the bosom OF the ocean,
The tempests cease, yet ceaseth not
That Jaws perpetual motion.
From northern lakes to everglades,
From Portland. Maine to Portland.
ThrougRoutt Columbia's vast domain
The Big Noise rolleth on and on.
A weary nation cries: Shut up
OF. else your windpipe we will sever"
Alack. Alas, It's all in vain.
That Mouth goes on forever
The winds and waves may sink to rest,
And tempests lull to quiet
Not so with One whose wagging chin
Keeps up its noisy riot.
While winds shall blow and brooks shall
flow.
And thunders jar like yuIcan's ham
mer,
Yet many year the world shall hear
That strenuous windjammer.
And when at last the angels trump
This earthly frame shall SILVER.
Still, stin above its startling tones
That Noise will sound forever.

THE VALLEY CLARION.

Lib Perry, our popular postmaster,
declares he Is not interested in the
state convention Of the Bull Moose.
He says he was a Moose before
Roosevelt started his lodge and he
can't figure how he is to gain any per-
senal benefit by joining two orders
sailing under the same name.
Amos Duncan, our justly celebrated
detective, who has been holding down
the second chair in our tonsorial par
Tor during the summer months, has re-
ceived a letter from Theo Roosevelt's
secretary Complimenting him on his
condemnation Of the convention that
nominated Taft. Mr.. Duncan was a
candidate for United States marshal
four years ago. 1t is rumored he Is
again being discussed in connection
with that office. Colonel Roosevelts
secretary congratulated Amos on
some of his achievements as a detec-
tive, Amos having enumerated some
of same in his letter to the former
presidents home at Oyster Bay
Amos, unless unforeseen emergencies
arise, will be conspicuous attendant
from these parts at the Bull Moose
convention in Chicago.
