On the Spur
of the Moment

BY ROY K. MOULTON.

It's a Problem.
Did you ever sit and wonder,
Sit and wonder what in thunder
Is the use of all the hurry,
All the skurry and the worry,
All the work and all the hustle,
All the rustic and the hustle
That we folks go through?
Every day of life we're shaving.
Skimping, sacrificing, saving,
Planning, figuring and scheming,
And of fame and fortune dreaming,
just as though we thought we'd never
Quit this earth but live for ever,
Just as now we do.
On the square, now, amt it funny?
Coveting each others money,
Pushing, crowding. fighting, striving,
Beating down and bargain driving,
Always looking out for trouble,
Getting it and sometimes double
What it ought to be.
Really, what are we folks doing
with our fretting and our stewing?
Life is one strange institution
That's away beyond solution.
Just one thing after another.
Can you tell the answer, brother?
It's too deep for me.

The HickeyvilIe Clarion.

1t seems as though 81 feller never gets
enough money to take vacation until he
is too old to enjoy it, and would rather
stick around home.
A woman kin wear thin isle stockings
and low summer shoes all winter and still
be very comfortable If she has got $500
set of furs.
A good baseball player kin make more
money than a college professor and have a
lot more fun while he is doing it,
Uncle Bushrod Peeer, aged SO, is over
to our town from West Hickeyville, visiting
his grandfather who is not IN very 70
bust state of health just at present, having
been knocked insensible by a large log
which he was putting on top of pile the
other day. The old man is always glad to
see Bushrod as the latter is his favorite
grandchiId, although he often says he don't
right. Bushrod has got II grandchildren
of his own. The old man never found out
that Bushrod smoked until one day last
summer and he was sore about it that
he knocked Bushrod down three times with
a neck yoke. The old man says kids like
Bushrod are mighty onmanageable these
days. No member of the Peeler family has
died a natural death in Is generations and
the old man is afraid Bushrod will learn to
smoke cigarets 1t must be fierce to have
so much longevity as that old man has got
when the cost of living is so high.
Song of the Pedestrian.
There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith can see it afar;
It's land where the drivers are sane,
And you don't dodge the fast touring car.
In the sweet by-and-by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by-and-by,
We shall turn double handsprings no

Our Own Weather Bureau.
There will be some rain in April.
In May there may be some rain and con-
siderable Book beer, which is more to the
point.
The weather in June will be just as dis
agreeable possible as there will be sew
eral weddings during the month.
July and August will, according to all
signs, be some warmer than January
There will be very little snow during these
months.
September and October will be pleasant
er than the same months last year because
there will will be presidential campaign
in progress
The weather for November and December
will be about as usual and perhaps little
more so.
Farmers and undertakers and others who
depend a great deal upon the weather for a
livelihood can rely upon this prediction
absolutely.
