Home Cooking.
My NAV she cooked no tabble dotes
or ally carriers or such.
And when it came to throwin' style.
she wasn't very much.
There wasn't no Fresh names hooked
onto vittles she would cook.
She got 'em from experience, not
from a furrin book.
She didn't have no casseroles like
they have now in grills,
Or other high-toned rig-ma-jig8 and
she put on no frills.
She had an Old-time cook stove and
some kittles. that was all.
But she could cook the biscuits, that.
by jing, would never fall.
Her pie crust, gosh, 'twould simply
melt right on a fe1ler's mouth,
Her johnny cake seemed like it came
right from the sunny south:
Her crullers made q feller sit right
up and call for more:
Her bread was one thing upon which
She set lot Of store.
No. friends, she wasn't very long on
what they now call style,
But she could surely cook tho stun
that made a feller smile.
There wasn't no dyspepsy round our
place. or gouty feet,
For she cooked up the kind Of food
that's really meant to eat.
According to Uncle Abner.
A lot Of fellers are foolish. They

home when they haven't got a pint
Of gasoline to run their car.
Hod Peters also swore off the use
Of tobacker on New Years day. He
amt goin' to use no more. He's
smoking cigarets now.
Miss Amy Pringle has got a fine
new spring line of millinery direct
from Paris (In)
1t is impossible to do a favor for
some folks without settin' in bad.
Bud Higgins had an egg for break
fast the other morning and. owing
stibule is investigating, as fowl play
is suspected.
Hod Peters and his wife got a
phonograph for Christmas. She can't
stand for the poplar music and he
won't listen to Grand Opry. So they
amt played the machine yet. For
which the neighbors are duly thank
full.
Elmer Sphinx asked Rev. Hudnutt
how much salary a feller ort to have
to support a wife and the Rev. told
him he ort to have all the salary he

There are so many Democrats after
the postoffice In our town that the
President will probably have to ap-
point q Republican in order to show
no partiality. The trouble is there
amt Republican in town since Will
son was elected.
In The Future.
And then, again, when the suffrgists
assume control Of things in this coun-
try and we have a woman president
we may perhaps expect to see q cabi-
net made up of the following:
Secretary of Millinery.
Secretary Of Social Functions.
Secretary of the Drama
Secretary OF Esugenics.
Secretary Of Cosmetics and Mani
curing.
Secretary of Bridge Whist
Secretary of Psychical Research.
Ethical Culture General.
Secretary of Music and Art.
Sociological Problem General.
Signs Of the Times.
What has become of the folk who
were going to smash the egg trust.
Yes, and you can sometimes get q
heavy bill from a light company.
The New Haven road will try to re-
duce the number of wrecks by taking
off several trains. That seems to be
| the only way.
The clergy OF london have recon-
something wronf With it after all.
A congressman resigned the other
day, and still some folks say the
| world IL not growing better.
A Kentucky man has been shot
dead by his seventh wife. If the first
| wife had done 1t, she would have saw
ed the six others q lot OF trouble.

Mexico cannot read. But then. the
newspapers are all censored until they
