snaps at all the fates, for better or for
worse. Let's jit in joy while life is

come and jitney meath the moon, along
the low grade hill. While all the world

are spry, there'a bliss in every quart of
gas; let's hit life on the high. So come
and be my jitney queen; nickel all my
hoard. Who cares for grief or gaso-

Joplin News-Herald.
They say that the boys in the khaki
suits are soldiers made of tin. That if
they met a cannon gun, hole they'd
sure fall in. You laugh and snort when
a lovely girl is smitten by the show;
maybe you'll laugh some other way,
now don't you really know? Suppose
that the Yellow Peril rose and jabbed
us with its fin, and the Japs took some
Jitsu sloops and started running in. a
hundred thousand Greasers sore, should
start to whoop 'em up. Or Canada rise
up and bark at US, like measly British
pup. Again suppose the car of CARES
burg should start to get. our goat, and
lead US on as Germany did, would we be
in boat? Well I should snort, we'd
grease our left-hand boot and shout
Hurrahl for the boys in the khaki suit

fame, because it is the shadow Of viz
ture; not that it doth any good to the
body which it accompanies, but it is
an efhcacious shadow, and, like that OF
st. Peter. cures the diseases OF others.
The best kind of glory, no doubt, is
that which is reflected from honesty,
such as was the glory of Cato and
Aristides; but it was harmful to them
both, and is seldom beneficial to aAz
man whilst he EYes:-Abraham Gov.
