Poetry
Ode To Our Neishbors

When | was sick with grip and chills
And half dozen other Ills,
The neighbors called each day to tell,
When they were sick how they got
well.
And each one had remedy
For ailments that afflicted me.
They pumped me full OF nasty dope
Until finally gave up hope.
Good morning-how're you feel.
you ought to try some of this junk;
II fixed my uncle when he had
The same as you but twice as bad"
you can't 60 wrong" another said,
with Swiss cheese poultice on
your head"
Or "Dr. Perkins Peanut Pills
You'll find will cure all human Ills"
The undertaken called each day
To be there when | passed away,
Afraid, the mercenary slob,
Somebody else might get the Job.
The parson asked my favrits
hymn;
And while the lights were low and
dim
Another hung around for hours
To ask about my choice Of flowers.
At last when was nearly dead
] called my family In and said,
III | must die then I'll agree:
But please don't let 'em poison ma
SO now as long as shall live,
To others nasty cures I'll give.
To give, the Good Book enya

Is far more bless'd than to rscslve.

Trappings include the unnecessary
little doodads and fancy here-and-
there's that add weight and worry to
Worth While business. Most OF US
carry Trappings, at that. They fall
heir to us-we scarcely know how
or from whom. But we know VIC
wake TO the daily knowledge that we
have them with US.
Trappings are Valueless-drop
them.
The greatest accumuiations Of
TrappiEgs are ldleness and Don't
careness. They overburden and load
to back breaking. brilliant Brains
and big Bodies. The Producer wants
no excess Trappings about him-he
demands his track clear and clean In
front Of him and insists on Light
Equipment And he who Cares Is
not eoing TO allow impediments to
hold him from bis purpose.
Trsppings are Vslueless-drop
then.
ANYTHING that takes from your
Ffiieielcy Is a Trapping OF some
SORT. Even another man or woman
who insists on taking from you
Time that belongs to you and In
which you are engaged in some use
ful manner, becomes dangerous
Trapping that should be dropped
and fed from. For Trappings are
Trippers. No one Is entirely safe
aud free TO do his best IL loaded
with lot Of Trappings-
Trappings are Naluelesc-drop

at which the prospective passenger
should arrive at the station In
order to get a good seat near the
stove in the waiting room.
Passenger trains are divided into
three classes--limited, local and ac-
commodation trains. Limited trains

Accommodation trains are so named
because they frequently wait on a

Passenger trains transport their
