THE GAMBLERS LIFE.

The other afternoon an old waiter

a MAJ sweeping dirt from the cross

cleaner brought the waiter sharply
TO closer attention. Then he called
the manager Of the cafe.

the best he could, and when discov-

The Veluet Hammer
BY Arthur Brooks Baker
CHARLES Il. HUGHES.

CHARLES T.. HUGHES.
The man whom our country's course
may presently be steered
Conceals his plans and purposes be-
hind a Towering beard
The foliage upon his face is grown
with care and pains.
Obscuring every process Of his in
tellect and brains.
The anxious politicians throng 10
yainly plead and ask
That Charles r. Hughes declare him
self and shave away his mask.
Should Uncle sam proceed in haste
TO get himself prepared.
or wait till Boston is besieged and
Kokomo is scared2
should congress bost the tariff up or
trim il down a hair?
Should We persist in tracking Pan
cho Villa 10 his lair?
Should we employ the heavy stick
and gentle. velvet voice.
or would reversal of this plan be
far the wiser choice?
The bold and free expression OF his
not and earnest views
Is not the thing that we expect from
Mr.. Justice Hughes.
To get his statements into print he
does not haste and hump:
He calmly waits TO see which way the
thoughtful cat will jump:
And when the nominations cinched
beyond a tinge of doubt,
Therell be sufficient time to let the
Hughes opinions out.
So let him sit behind his beard in
robes of awesome black.
If nothing's hard 10 say it's not so
hard TO take ii back.
Though hotheads and conservatives
are merrily agreed
That Justice Hughes is not the kind
OF president we need,
They think that he may stand them
in a serviceable stead
BY furnishing the club they want for
Woodrow Wilson'S head.

Old Mother Hubbard

Probably very few people could say who
wrote the famous ''Mother Hubbard
lines, and fewer still know where the wri,er
is buried. The author was Sarah Chatherine
Martin, and she vas buried at Loughton,
in Essex. Miss Martin was born in Janu-
ary, 1868, and she was about thirty-seven
years of age when she wrote the story of
the old lady and her dog. Traditions says
the original "Old Mother Hubbard was
the housekeeper at Kitty Hall, Yelampton,
the residence of Miss Martins married
sister. At any rate, it was when on visit
to her sister at kitley that the famous
