AS A RULE
BY II. Nj. Cochran.

When a fella goes limpin' around
And puts his feet light on the
ground,
His trouble Is, folks, I'll be bound
That he's got new pair of shoes
When a fella stands straight and
can't bend,
I gladly will sympathy lend,
IT'S fact on which you can de.
pend,
His trousers are too tight.
When a fella Will show neither
paw,
Keeps them both in his pockets
haw, haw!
You could tell, If this action you
saw,
That he hasn't got any gloves.
When a fella's all smiles on his
face,
And his mouth sort of looks out
of place,
To this fact 1t will generally trace,
He's got new gold tooth.
When a fella's himself and nc
game
Is he playin', butts always the
same
And acts natural, this is to blame
He's got good sense.

Luke M'Iuke Says

A man can lie out Of lot of
things. But he can't deny it when
he eats onions.
A man will pay dollar for a So
cent article that he wants. A woman
will pay 40 cents for a S9c arti-
Gle that she doesn't want.
A girl is real proud when she
graduates from college with B. A.
But she is even prouder when she
enters the school of matrImony and
adds B. Y. to her degree.
A girl can wear a long skirt and
make it display more hosiery than
if she wore a short skirt. 1t Is all
IN the management.
A mother never changes. When
her son is 40 years old and wears
long whiskers she won't call him
anything else but "Wilhe."
The scientists must be losing their
grip on the peepul. In December
of last year the Harvard savants an.
nounced the great discovery that
nearly all women are knock-kneed
But you may have noticed that the
fool men keep right on getting mar
RED and taking chance.
A Massachusetts, girl cut off her
hair in her sleep. Most girls yank
it off before they go to sleep.
The highbrows claim that the use
of a medicated tissue screen will
make kissing "safe and sanitary"
It may make it sanitary; but there
isn't any way to make kissing safe.
1t must be a terrible jar to the
reformers to realize that the fellows
who smoke cigarettes manage to
COP out so many good jobs.

not those Of Ford. They were the
marks of long and narrow boots. and

lost In the track of flock OF sheep
that had been driven over 1t the day

Il took careful measurement OF
those footprints. They might, OF
course. belong to some private inves-

Could some man have walked across
the lawn in Ford's boots, changed
them to his own on the top Of the
wall, and 80 departed? Was 1t the
desire of some one to let It be sup
posed that Ford had run away?
When examined Ford's private
rooms I was even more fortunate.
From the bootboy l discovered that
the master had three pairs of shoot.
ing boots. There were three pairs in
the stand. Some one had made a
very serious mistake Instead of hid
ing the pair he had used on the lawn,
he had returned them to their place.

Denver.-Never in the history of
Denver conventions has the early out
look been SO promising as now marks
the progress of the preparations for
the session of the grand lodge B. P.
o. Elks scheduled for July 1919.
Reservations already have been made
for 1000 visitors. The national gather

sons to Denver. OF this number 49,
900 Elks registered with the local
lodge. This year it is now considered
a certainty that the attendance OF
1906 easily will be doubled.
