Some of the little editors who

believe my statement that The

you to come and see for your

Hot and Cold.

I A day in June-and it was hot =.
About as hot as have felt;
And even when the sun had sot
1t seemed to me that would melt.
There wasn't any breeze at all
To lend bracer to the air;
And every bug that tried to crawl
Was painting like hunted hare.
And then when sleepy time arriv-
The proper time to go to bed
You don't know how much I'd have
For some cool place to lay my head.
I opened all the winders wide,
And skinned off nearly all my
clothes,.
And flung the sheets and things aside,
And lay down there on top to doze.
I guess must have gone to sleep,
Because didn't wake no more :.
Till day was just about to peep,
And the old clock was striking four.
I made pass at that-thar sheet
And tore it open with my toes,
And I wish l may never eat

Equal Rights? Aw, Scat!

Don't talk to me about this be-
ing a land of liberty and equal
rights! It's blubbering, bloody
lie! Just recently in West Virginia
men have been shot down like
dogs or crammed into prison for
going on strike and demanding
higher wages. What crime it
must be for a poor laborer to ask
a, little higher price for the only
thing he has to sell. But just let
little old stuck-up merchant
decide to go on strike and sell
his goods for a higher price to
the poor, half-starved workers,
and what is the result? Is there
any law to step in and punish him
for doing it? No sir!-nary a
fetch-taked one!

WOBBLING. ON THE SPINDLE

Prof. George A. Hill, of the
Naval Observatory at Washing
ton, has just announced a new dis
covery. After long and careful
observation he makes the posi-
tive assertion that the earth is
wobbling on it's spindle. He says
the North Pole don't stay in the
same place any length Of time,
but is constantly moving.
Now, gentlemen, what are you
going to do about it? Do you sup
pose our. Democratic Congress
could be persuaded to pass a law
covering this case? If not, we
might get the Supreme Court to
issue an injunction" Something
must be done to stop the earth
from wobbling, and it must be
done at once.
Just think of the suffering and
disappointment that this wob-
bling is liable to cause some of
our explorers! Why, if DR.. Cook
should go back to get the cigar
that he laid down on top of the
Pole while he buttOned his over
coat-he would have to hunt all
over the neighborhood to find it.
And it might finally turn out that
Peary used it to thaw his jaws
loose so he could cuss Cook fo1
getting there first.
Prof. Hill admits that his new
discovery is very hard to under.
stand. In fact, he don't under.
stand it at all. He will gladly
welcome any suggestion that may
lead to a solution of the grea1
mystery.
Say, George, | ain t no exper1
in such matters, but I shore tt
goodness am interested in your
diskivery. If any suggestion O:
mine will help out, you are more
than welcome to it.
Possibly the North Pole ha:
some conscientious scruples a
gainst being discovered any more

the explorers. Or it may hav'

A SERMON ON FLIES.

Got any flies at your house,
mister?
If not, | might spare you just
a few for seed.
I have had fairly good success
with my flies this summer.
The season has been favorable,
and no epidemic of disease has
broken out among them.
Of course there have been a
few accidents in which some Of
my flies have been prematurely
cut off, but the percentage Of
fatalities has been small.
Most of the deaths among my
flies have resulted from the care
lessness Of my wife, who, on
several occasions, has unthought-
edly left sheets of sticky paper
lying around the house. To my
certain knowledge I have lost 38
flies in this manner, and there
may have been a few others.
When a fly gets on that paper
you just as we'll knock it in the
head, for you can't get it off all
in one piece to save your neck.
And if you should happen to get
one off without the loss of a leg or
wing, it would be a cripple for
life and would never be able to
marry and raise a family. If there
is one thing a fly enjoys more
than anything else, it is raising a
family. That seems to be a part
of their religion, and their pro
tracted meeting lasts all summer.
I bought me some screen doors
to keep my flies in the house,
thinking that perhaps the out
door air might not be healthy fo1
them, but occasionally one viii
slip out and ramble off. However,
he usually comes back about
meal time and brings several Of
his friends to dinner.
Everything considered, sup
pose my flies are doing about al
we'll as could be expected.
