Today's Poem

SUPPOSE
If all that we say
In single day,
With never a word left out,
Were printed each night
In clear black and white,
'Twould prove queer reading, no
doubt.
And then just suppose,
Ere ones eyes he could close.
He must read his days record
through;
Then wouldn't one sigh
And wouldn't he try
great deal less talking TO do?
And | more than half think
That many a kink
Would be smoothed in life's tangled
thread,
If one-half that we say
In a single day
Were left forever unsaid
THAT man Smithers is the most
self-controlled individual ever
knew
I'm what way
He owns a big, powerful car and
yet he hasn't. to my knowledge, told
a funny Ford story for three days.

The Licensed Dog.


The Licensed Dog.
a man had a dog that was vicious and
vile.
He was ugly and black as could be:
lie bit every soul that came his way:
His owner grew fat on the blood OF his
prey.
The people were frightened, but what
could they say?
The man kept the law, don't you see?
lie paid his dog tax with so honest an
air
You'd think him o saint IN disguise;
The people looked on and said. Il de.
clare,
The life If that dog we surely must
spare.
We need all these taxes or else we'd
despair"
And here they all groaned and locke
wise.
I'VE must pay mp the funeral and doc
tor bills,
They've been very heavy Of late:
So many were bitten. 50 many have
died.
We need all these taxes" the wise.
acres cried,
Wen make 'cm stlll higher wen not
he denied
The mans love for his dog is so great"
The owner consented with radiant
smiles.
And the dog with permission given
Went on with his work Of destruction
and woe.
And the dog ana master the holder did
grow,
Till the streets with the blood of thciI
victims did flow,
And their wailing assembled to heaven
But the peoples eyes are opened a.
last.
We've made mistake they cry.
we must kill that dog or our fate l.
sealed.
The taxes haven't the matter healed;
Wen have that odlous law repealed,
That bloodthirsty dog must die"
So they went to work with right gooj
will
And the peoples word Is law.
And that dog soon slept his long las
sleep.
And they buried him IN grave Sc
deep
That the thundcrs Of ages might over
sweep,
And he never could move paw.

No greasy walls or filthy floors.
But pretty homes and gardens fair,
Scent of sweet flowers perfumes the

No women in fear for their very lives,
But merry maids and bonny boys,
Making streets ring with gladstone

Where the drink is driven away.
No tempting bars or drinking shops
low.
No hrawls or fights where'er you 90,
But peace and plenty reign supreme.
And life is one long, pleasant dream.
Where the drink is driven away.
No aching hearts and dragging feet.
No unemployed in any street,
But bounding steps and CHEEKY song.
And work for the willing, the brave
and the strong.

WRESTLING MATCH
 TERMINATES IN
 STRANGE MANNER
Miller Evades Sharkey, Who Dives Off Stage, Fractur-
 ing Ribs.

When "Young Sharkay," ligh5- weight wrestler from the East, "dl q Brodis" from the stage to the floor of the orchestra pit, at the Gem tn a. tre last night, he brought to an end, in indeterminate fashion, his wrestl- ing match that had continued one hour and five minutes, against Vie Miller, the local champion.
 It was some exciting evening for the bunch of sports fans gathered in the negro picture howhouse in State street. The wresSlers were in fine physical tr'rl barring Q car buncle They start;d out in the best possible manner, and after they had erably to tht pleasure of the specta- tors by showing greater interest than is usual for wrisstl.rs.
 Seriously speaking, it was a ms-- clever exhibition r!i wrestling, un- tii the exhibition of high diving was staged so suddenly and so dram.'.- cally, not to say so succ assfully. Mil Ter is known to the fans, whJ are ac uuainted with the fact that he is "some wrestler" "Young Sharkey" himself is no amateur-he showed that clearly last night. They went mere than an hour, of real, sure enough wrestling, steady, Compiling ly, neither overlooking any bets, but neither able to show any particular mark of superiority over the other.
 The visiting matt artist demon strated. however. that he is promis- ing candidate for he honors once so generously bestowed upon Steve Brodie. the man whc, leapad from the Brooklyn bridge, and lived to tell about it, from behind the footlights of the vaudeville stage. Maybe sharksy is not b,tter wrestler than Miller--the point is not stttled-but from the exhibition put up last nighr, sharkey is certainly the peer of the local man as a high dive ar list.
 Sharksy was making a quick reach for Miller, when the accident occur rcd. the local man sidestepping quickly, and his opponsnt being un- abb to stop his rush in time to pre- vent falling over the foct lights. Dr. Harry Williams attended the injured man. who was then rd1toved to his room in an automobile. The injury is not serious, but compelled the referee tc, call the bout a draw.
 Miller received and accepted chal- lenga last night, from Leo Hacken- schmidt, member of the celebrated family of wrsstlers, and who is I lightweight. Hackenschmidt will meet Miller here. the, teltaIs of the match being still indefinite, however.
