/ don't know how 1t Is with you.
But often when I'm feeling blue,
And things go wrong and by the mark
The future seems to loom 30 dark;
When naught goes right, and feel, well.
Like something that dare not spell
Right out in pubGc-sorrow sEds
Before those Katzenjamfner kids!
| take my humor just as much
AS others do, with some deft touch
OF classic and refining art
But sometimes there's a weary heart,
A heavy SOUL that will not smile
At cynic nicely and guile,
But lifts in laughter still its lids
Before those katzenjammer kids!
How human Human Nature makes
Our spirits when, for others sakes,
We lay aside the mortal form
Of pride and dignity, and warm
Right UP to life as life should be;
While over US the waves OF glee
Wash clean our souls Of quid pro guilds
Before those Katzenjamn1er kids.
The plaster of merry laugh
Is not 30 bad for life by half,
When on the sore and weary mind
Love lays it with cool hand and kind,
And thus it is, through toll and care
The daily fuss and wear and tear,
We like the fun that naught forbids

Abe Peters says that while a good
many people will doubt that story
about the woman who swallowed a
tadpole while taking drink of water
and the next summer a full grown
bullfrog climbed out of her throat,
he doesn't doubt it for minute. He
says that when he was herding cat
tie out ON the Rattlesnake creek,
they one day found q quails nest
with several eggs in it. One of the
cowboys, Sam Bings, made bet that
he could swallow two of the eggs
without breaking the shells. He
swallowed the eggs all right and for
several months felt no inconvenience.
Then he commenced to complain
that he could feel something pecking
in his stomach whenever he ate
canned corn. The other cowboys
just laughed at him and told him
that he ought to take something for
his imagination. Sam kept on insist
ing that he could feel the pecking
and claimed in addition to that that
he felt as If he had swallowed lot
of feathers. Finally he took to his
bed and the boss had to send him to
a hospital for treatment. The doc
tors finally decided to open Sam and
find out what was really the mat
ter. When they opened Sam up they
met a remarkable sight. The two
eggs that he had swallowed the year
before had Matched out two quail. |
One of them was hen quail and she
had laid fourteen eggs and Matched
out a covey of twelve little quail. |
Two of the eggs were not fertile. |
The pecking Sam had felt was the
quail feeding on canned corn when |
Sam made a meal of that vegetable. |
They were also fond of hash, so that |
Sam really got little sustenance out
of his meals So far as appearance |
went the only difference between
these quail and those raised on the
outside was that Sans quail were
entirely blind, like the eyeless fish |
found in the Mammoth cave. Abe |
says that the quail looked quite
hearty when first taken out of Sans
stomach, but the doctors made the
of letting them out into the
sun. and within two hours they all
died of sunstroke. Abe has, been
obliged to whip two men who stated
in his hearing that they believed the
story was lie. He allows no man
Of his own size to call him a liar and
get away with it,

Observations By Old Cx

zone day observed red headed
woodpecker examinin' with great in
terest one of these insulators on a
telegraph pole. He evidently heard
some sort OF a noise inside and con-
cluded that there must be a worm in
there. So he went to work on that
insulatOr.
Il never saw anything, bird, beast,
or human, who seemed to be more
devoted to his work than that wood
pecker. He whacked away at that
insulator till he must have mighty
near ruined his bill but couldn't
make no impression whatever. Still,
he kept at it for long time. Finally
1t appeared to him that there was
something wrong and he went away.
Next day, however, he came back and
cooked his head to one side and lis
tened. He heard the same kind Of
noise he had heard the day before
and went to 1t again.
"And then | said to myself, My
red headed feathered friend, you
are like number of humans | have
seen who didn't have sense enough
to know when they were up against
an impossible proposition. Many

Oscillation Observation-Disclosures

II it was question between kiss
es and bread and butter, which woult
you prefer.
In a recent divorce case, the wife
declared that during the year she
had been married she had received
nothing more substantial than kiss
es from her husband.

declared, 81 would live forever. I've

ing husband.
But how does her present atti-
tude jibe with the theories of those
sentimentalists who declare that
they would rather starye with a man
they love than live in comfort with
just an ordinary, Woodworking, UNI
sentimental husband who shows his
devotion by deeds rather than Dy
OSCILLATION.
That sort of thing seems all right
in theory, but it's to be noticed that
when the starving reality dawns
there is a sudden detection on the
part of the starvee. Sentiment goes
a glimmering.
AS prominent instance, recall
Upton Sinclair's wife, who eloped
with a Kansas poet. She was per-
feCtly willing to starve with him
at first. 1t was perfectly ideal, in
bungalo In the woods-at first.
1t was just too delightful to be free
Of all bonds of conventionality and
to revel in grand passion"
But dear me! The poet didn't
work. He was too busy giving up all
his time to his inamorata. Then the
larder got empty, and the lady had
another yearning. This time the
yearning wasn't sentimental It was
the human beings yearning for
three square meals a day The poet
couldn't or wouldn't furnish the
meals. Therefore the lady went
home to her father, where, 1t is to
be presumed, food is plentiful even
though kisses may be scarce.
Kisses are nice. We really can't
be happy without them. But kisses
aren't enough. Without some of the
material comforts, to say nothing of
the necessaries. kisses are apt to pail.
The girl who is very much in love
would do well to consider this tru-
ism before she attaches herself for
life to youth who shown no inellna-
ton to garner the wherewithal. The
finest sentiment a man can snow,
where sweetheart or wife is con-
cerned, is a determination to make
her physically comfortable. Then
she will be in position to appre-
ciate anything in the line of kisses.
Not that this is to be construed as
an encouragement to sordidness. We
do not advise girl to turn down
the poor but excellent young men.
We do advise her, however, TO wait !

fact Is we are here warned against

his own and in his own time will
send forth his reapers who will do
what we would make sorry work
OF attempting to do. How often
we see men zealously attempting the
separation process during the propa.

uproot the wheat with the darnel.

PARK FIREPLACES FOR
LOS ANGELES PICNICKERS.
Novel Plan to Prevent Brush Fires
During the Summer.

In order TO prevent brush and grass
fires, which are prevalent in California
during hot weather, very strict regula-
tons are enforced in the Los Angeles
parks against building campfres. But
In order that picnickers in the larger
parks may have hot coffee or warm
food with their lunch the park COM
missioners have provided fireplaces,
solidly built of rough stones or cobbles
and cement These are provided with
a metal grills, on which c%offeepots or
any other utensils may be set or
steaks can be broiled. The stoves are
large enough to provide cooking space
for a number at a time, and six foot
chimneys carry the smoke away from
their faces. The stoves serve another
purpose in providing a ready method
of clearing the parks of accumulated
rubbish. Much Of it Is used by pic
nickers for their fires. and the park
caretakers readily dispose of the fallen
twigs and leaves and the Sundays &C.
emulation Of newspapers by burning
them. thus saving the expense Of
hauling them away.
