Tales of the Town
OH,

guess it didn't rain that day
Oh no;
Just washed the landscape all away
By Joe;
Thick, watery clouds of black and
gray
Upon the hill-tops, heavy lay,
The Devil surely was to pay,
Heigh no;
1t happened on the first of May
You know;
Which fell upon a Saturday
Also;
That date will long. in memory stay
For in the house we had to lay
And gaze upon a world of spray,
Below.
At last we heard Old Thompson say
Quite low
'You fellows over in the hay,
Hello
Wake up, Old Timers, break away
Get out the cards, and let us play
Some penny-ante, to allay
This wos.'
Old Thompson's idea, by the way
Not slow
Caused all of us to go astray,
Just so;
For as | once before did say
The Devil surely was to pay;
lost my rep, that rainy day
And dough.

If the Progressives have come back
70 what Republican orators like to re-
fer to as the "fold,' the results of the
primaries in numerous states seem TO
show that they brought their leaders
with them and have compelled the
fold" TO accept them. In California
Governor johnson won the Republi-
can nomination for senator, and the
governor probably has been as far
out Of the Republican breastworks as
any Progressive in the country-he

How to Give Good Advice.

The best way to give good advice
is to set good example. When others
see how quickly you get over your
cold by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy they are likely to follow your
example. This remedy has been in use
for many years and enjoys an excell-
ent reputation. Obtainable every
where.

CURRENT COMMENT.

1t is refreshing somehow to hear
Champ Clark booming out in his big,
bluff way and saying the democrats
got hell licked out of them in Maine"
That is what one would expect Champ
Clark to say. 1t sounds so good to
get absolute frankness from a politi-
cal leader that the wonder is that
more of them don't try it.

Constipation the Father of Many Ills
Of the numerous ills that affect

a laxative is needed take Chamber

We know of no better training for
cheerful loser in an hour of political
defeat. If you got run over in the
primaries it's your duty to be pleasant
and brave, TO shake hands with the
same fellows you've been shaking
hands with for the past sevcra! weeks
as you meet them. and if the man who
beat you is the proper man for office
in your judgment, the thing to do is
10 go to him AMI tell him that you
ere going to help him get elected.
Most any chap can get defeated at
a primary, but it takes a big man to
get defeated and take it gracefully.

county fair was in progress recently,
the young man escorted the tiny girl
to the fair ground. She became
thirsty and he conducted her to the
building in which the women of a

a bottle of pop, meanwhile chatting
with group of church women who
