Our Own Little Town

If you meet a man who Is down In
the mouth, who thinks that his town
is all wrong; just take him aside or
give him a ride and hand him this
quaint little song. "There are fan
cler town than our own little town,
there are towns that are bigger than
this; and the people who live In the
timer towns all the city excitement
will miss. There are things you can
see In the wealthier towns that you
can'tin the town that is small; and yet
up and down there is no other town
like our little town after all. 1t may
be that the street through the heart
of our town isn't long, isn't wide,
isn't straight; but the neighbors you
know in our own little town with a
welcome your coming will walt. In
the glitterlng streets of the glitter
ing town with its palace and pave
ment and thrall, In the midst of the
throng you'll frequently long for our
own little town after all. If you'live
and work and trade In our town in
spite of the fact that it's small, you'll
find that the town,-our own little
town-is the best kind of town
after all. -Auxvasse, Mo-, Review.

Breaking a Habit

And live without the nasty weed;
But not today.

That smoking does me harm,
And surely I'll be man enough

Upon my wage a drain;
To break away would wisdom be;
That seems quite plain.

OF burning up the weed?
The money thus consumed might u

No person will contend there Is

For others 1t annoys.
The best that 1t can bring me is

And nothing can be said for 1t;

Hennessy declared that the

because of Goods demands re-

has placed a similar sum with
Arthur Young.
THE whole trouble is that
Sammy Good wants one of HIS
friends as referee. He has named
three men-Biddy Bishop, his
