MuSl look IKE what She amt.
She puts her best silk stockfn' on
And fuses with her hair
combs 1t like 1t never was
On her or anywhere.
She gets down to the gallery
And then the fun begins.
She practices O lot Of smirks
n frOWns and scOwls and grfns.
She tries to pose, ~unsconsious like
With easy poise and grace
But most that h makes to do
Is Just twist up her face.
And when she gets the proofs up home
The folks all have to laugh.
the expression on the face
Is like a dyin' calf.
The picture amt like her at all,
Tain't natural a bit,
But sister thinks 1t is Just grand
And says there's class to it.
1t makes her look a good deal like
Some fourth class actorine.
And amt got no resemblance to
No one we've ever seen.
She never gifts dolled up like that
Nor has that painful look,
Exceptln' sometimes when she goes
To get her picture took.
SPRING.
"a man in Indiana claims to have
seen the first spring robin.)
The first new robin has been seen and
so it's up to us
To tune u Tyre Cor maybe Liar) and
make a little fuss
About the advent, once again. of most
salubriOus spring
Along about this time of year it Is the
proper thing.
Oh. glorious spring with chirping birds
and SnrOllf}nD fpooc a~A q
It's time to get the rake and noe and
start the garden sass.
ON, beauteous spring! It's almost
time for wild flowers to be ripe
Excuse us for a minute while we thaw
q frozen pipe.
Oh. wondrous spring, we welcome thee
once more with open arms
We welcome thee within our midst
with all thy varied charms.
We greet thee charming season, with
a loud and Joyful shout
We've got to go down cellar now. our
furnace fire is out.
Oh, balmy spring. we will ere long get
up each morn at dawn,
To get the neighbours mower out and
manicure our lawn.
We're glad to see you once again
That's certain. but-Gee whiz!
We've got to stop this verse right here.
Our doggone ink has friz.
ACCORDING TO UNCLE ABNER.
There is hardly a gal that objects
to havin' a mustache on her upper lin
providin' it's the right feller's mus
tache.
One of Hold Bink's daughters mar
ried n advance agent fer q show and
the Teller his other daughter married
didn't have much money either.
1t is getting SO the musical comedies
that amt advertiser some champagne
or ctgarets Is advertisin' some break
fast food or other.
Doc Hanks, the only practitioner in
this locality, is thinkin' some of NOV
m to a new field and undertaken Amos
Butts is also thinkin' some Of moyin'
to the same town. although he don't
know exactly where Doc Is thinkin' of
movin to. He says the town that's
good enough for Doc IS good enough
for him.
Any teller hat will leave the gold
band on his seegar while he smokes 1t
is the same kind Of a Teller that will
borrow a dress suit and wear 1t to a
funeral.
Nobody knows just how a married
couple can get along peacefully as we'll
as do a man and woman who have
been married-about two weeks.
Hank Tumms is a good teller and
everybody knows it. exceptin' his wife.
The first real test of married life il
to find out which one is going to get nm
and put the cat out.
Anse Judson had a good Joke on a
burglar h other night. The burglar
told Anse to throw up his hands, and
keep still. n Anse laughed ana told
him to help himself. You zee, the bur
glar didn't know that a committee for
the rummage sale a been there that
day and had gone through the house
with q acuu cleaner and picked IN
everything worth while. A burglars
life must be full of disappointments.
There are a good many better WAYS
to get a reputation for havin' a lot Of
money than by pulling ou . roll Of bius
in q saloon.
The only fellers who seem to have a
ctnch on not gettin' killed are them
which take part in the Central Amer
lea wars. It's a good deal safer than
workin' on q railroad or driving a rae
ing oatmobile.
1t is said that President Taft ia con-
stantly surrounded by a large party OF
friends. Well. by gum, 1t takes q large
party Of friends to surround him.
It doesn't seem as though the Derby
and the four-in-hand necktie that
hooks on with q rubber are ever Roia1
to go out OF style.
Some. fellers are just naturally born
foolish. and others wear white hats in
the winter time. \
Hank Tumms has drunk up dve OF
Ms Christmas presents and IL saving
