PADDY AND PRIESTLY CELIBACY

William ohnson
Father, o Father, the talk OF the day
Is of your mad courtship of the Widow O'Shea
The people wonderng just how it will end .-:
And whence comes the money the Widow does spend.
You know it looks bad for like yourself,
Who promised that all should be laid the shelf
When yon took the oath that the good Church O requires
thoughts should have SCARED beyond the blue skies
Paddy my boy just between you and me,
We priests but humans anyone
The oath that we take is bur matter ofform
And guarantees nothing, what is the harm!
OF course, like pleasure, theatres and such,
drink good whiskey and beer like the Dutch
We do many things that the people don't know,
And aren't the to be telling them
Father so long your thoughts this way
It's useless think in the Church (?l Tll.stay;
So Pm serving you notice right hers on the spot .~ .
That I'm trusting my wife with whiskey.soaked
Ny children I'll send to grand Sunday School
Where they'll be taught believe the Lords Golden Rule
Sure, again will you fool Pat Q:Brien, Co..
For though Lam poor, I'm not bit blind. =, .
You rave you rant smack your bald head
But I'm thankful I'm alive, though once dead.
You fill your old carcass with day and night
And all day long with your housekeepers night. - =
You can court all the widows and in town
And have good time while you paint the brown
But ii ever catch you q block from my house
III kill you quick as Ia kill barn $3.50

There's n Vatican you see,
And an army is maintained to protect the clergy.
The Pope has his pleasures, his passions, his mrh.
And longs the day when he'll rule the whole earth
His cardinals and bishops provided for WELL
And do lots of things it won't do to tell:
Such 5 swearing and drinking, and nights in the park
But they're mindful keep all their deeds good and dark
Father, since this is you say, '' - ~

Mr.. WEISS LANDS IN NEW YORK
Telegram Received by Relatives Last
Evening States That He Landed
in New York on Monday.

A telegram was received in Deni-
son last evening by the Weiss fam
lily from Mr.. Jacob Weiss, stating that
he landed Monday in New York City.
Mr.. Weiss has been visiting relatives
at Colmar. Alsacc-L Lorraine, since the
latter part of July, and only a few
days after his arrival at that place
war was declared. Colmar was the
scene of the first fighting of the great
European war and the city was cap
tured by the French, only to- he TAX
en- by the Germans a few days later.
The Weiss family have been great
ly concerned over his safety and since
his departure have received only two
letters from him. A card mailed by
him from Colmar the first of August
only reached here about ten days ago
and in that Mr.. Weiss stated that he
and Mr.. Matt Hugg were helping the
women to harvest their grain.
Doubtless Mr.. Weiss will have many
interesting tales to tell of the war
and he will also be able to tell about
the Hugg family who were also Wis
iting at Colmar. He is not expected
to arrive in Denison for several days
yet as he has relatives living in New
York, whom he will visit for a few
dayS

A MULE IN DISGUISE
BaIle-Brcdersen Mule Transformed In
to Zebra Friday Nisht-Axle
Grease and Clippers Did Work

When the eBrOdersen delivery
boy opened up the barn just back OF
the store early Saturday morning to
hitch up his team of mules to the de-
livery wagon he was dumtOunded to
find a close resemblance to a zebra
occupying the stall where only the
night before he had fed and watered
the faithful old white mule. Upon
close investigation he found that 1t
was the mule. but that he had been
transformed in every detail.
Someone had entered the barn dur
ing the night and with axle grease
had painted stripes around the shin
ing white coat Of the animal. Not
content with doing this. the would-be
joker undertook to trim the animais
tail and did such bad job OF it that
it was still bleeding when found in
the morning.
The BalleBrodersen people have
failed to see anything humorous about
the matter and are making an in
vestigation, and should the guilty
party be apprehended we believe that
the culprit will he sorry that he ever
undertook to transform a mule into
a zebra.

SHORT COURSE IN DECEMBER
Probable That the Next Short Course
Will Be Held During Week of
December 9TH to 18th.

w. c. Rollins, secretary of the
Crawford COunty-Ames Short Course
association, informs us that in all
will be held from December 18th to
18th, inclusive. instead of in Janu-
airy as has been the case in previous
years. Pressure has been brought to
bear upon the extension department
of the Iowa State college to have
the short course held earlier than
heretofore and they have intimated
that it might be possible to give Den
ison the dates as mentioned above.
The officials of the association are
more than pleased with the prospect
of having the short course held carli-
er and feel that the attendance would
be much larger. AS rule January is
a bad month for such an undertake
ing and the weather and roads do
not permit farmers from a distance
to attend the class work.
A meeting of the officials will be
held within the next few days and all
necessary arrangements made for get
ting the work under way. If the
loul DC lIlu VII tlC uitCo
it is probable that the county teach
ers' institute will be held during the
same week This will permit "a
much larger attendance for both the
teachers and pupils would be able to
attend.
Teachers are already planning the
school exhibits for the short course,
and it is limited that many surprises
are in store for the attendants. COun-
ty Supt. f. n. Olry has already pre-
pared the list of words which will be
used at the spelling contest and these
will be sent to the school children
within few days so that they may
begin practice on them. The Review
has made arrangements to run this
list OF words in an early issue as was
done last year so that every child
may become familiar with them.
