One of the latest '.get-rich-quick"
schemes is being engineered by a
party named Love, who gives his
postoffice address as Lomax, Ill. MFR.
Love proposes to turn Lomax into a
second Chicago. He could keep the
whole thing to himself, and thus be-
come the owner of hundreds of mil
lions Of bright dollars. but the benev-
client Mr. Love is no hog. He pro-
poses to let every body in OIL the good
thing" and all can get in on the
ground floor by sending 5000 to him.
In due time these ten "plunks'-ac-
cording to Mr.. Loves figures, will
amount to $iO,96O; and figures don't
lie, but-schemers sometimes do.

Only a Dad

Only dad, with tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game,
But glad In his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only dad. of a brood OF four
One OF ten million men or more;
Flooding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life
with never whimper OF pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only dad, neither rich nor proud.
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving, from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way;
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing 1t all for the love of them.
Only dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small
Doing, with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him.
This Is the line that for him pen
Only dad, but the best of men.
