On the Spur
of the Moment
We Don't Believe in Signs.
By ROY X. MOpL-ON.

We Don't Believe in Signs.
l bought some seeds down at the store
And tried to make two blades of
grass
Grow where but one had grown be-
fore,
But, 10, it didn't came to pass.
L put a neatly painted sign:
Keep off the grass, where all
could see;
And people tramped that lawn of
mine,
And did it in the highest glee.
Folks who had ne'er done that before
Cut cross my lot whene'er they'd
pass;
Footprints I found there by the score,
But not a sign of growing grass.
The moral of the tale is plain.
Take warning by this trial of mine.
If bright new grass you would obtain,
Don't go and stick up any sign.

A Few Accidents.

The Cooperville Observer says:
Bill Mutton came near being
killed Friday while shaving a sheep
on his ranch. Just as he had about
finished the sheep gave a sudden
jerk, pulling the wool over Bills eyes
and preventing him from seeing a
streak of lightning that was headed
in his direction at a two-forty gait.
Bill reckons he would have been killed
outright if his wife hadn't seen his
danger from the woodshed window
and ran out to where he was, kicking
him aside just as the lightning turned
the last corner"
while feeding his mule Monday,
Abe Cornflake got a severe pain in
his right side. Looking around to find
out where the pain came from he dis
covered that the mule and kicked him,
landing both hoOfS above the vest
pocket. Abe swears that hereafter
he will always look before he feels the
pain

A RECORD PRESCRIPTION.
After II Was Bought and Paid For II
Lost Its Charm.

After II Was Bought and Paid For II
Lost Its Charm.
The largest amount ever officially
recorded as the purchase price of a
prescription is 5000 ($25,000). paid by
the British parliament to Mrs. Ste
vens to reveal the ingredients of her
cure for gravel and stone In the blad-
der and Kidneys Parliament voted
this amount to satisfy the demands
of the British public; also because Mrs.
Stevens would not take a penny less
for her secret
The ingredients as revealed by Mrs.
Stevens were as follows: "Eggshells,
snails shells and alb, hips and haws,
ash keys, swine cress and various 9th
er vegetables all burned to cinder,
and the ash mixed with camomile
flowers and fenne and other vege-
tables"
Curiously enough, when this high
priced prescription was made public it
Immediately lost its potency-and its
popularity. New cases failed to re-
spond to its magic, and cases which
had been cured while its mysteries
were still unrevealed promptly de-
veloped new symptoms. At the end
of year it was practically forgotten.
But its price record still stands; also
the record of one instance In which
British parliament failed to get its
moneys worth-Los Angeles Times.
