Mary

Mary
most lovely maid is Mary
With mouth just like cherry
Just to see it makes me long for Manhattan;
She has curly golden tresses
And she such daring dresses,
That she cannot help but captivate man.
So l see her every Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, twice on Sunday,
Tuesday, Thursday. Saturday of every week
And to prove don't forget her,
Between calls write letter
To the maid who keeps me playing hide and
seek
She's bewitchng and beguiing
When her lovely eyes are smiling
But love her just as much when she is sad,
With flicker of dimple
She can set me acting simple;
Yes, Miss Mary's got me going pretty bad
But there is talk scandal
So discreetly does she handle
All the audiences she grants to lovelorn me
And I'll bet she'll be wonder
Fifteen years from now. by thunder
For at present lovely Marys only three
The ceaseless tides of life flow in and ebb
With the unending surges of the sea;
Play melodies upon the yielding sands
OF time, and from the harsh forbidding rocks
Strike harmonies that echo to the SKIES
And yet if one small note of discord creeps
Into the symphony we little men
Sieze upon it and harp it DER and Ger
Till all the rest is drownded in the din
We create. And then we wall because
Our little futile life is out of tune
Judging from the prevailing prices of beef the
historic when the COW jumped over the
was only short preliminary practice.

Preparedness of kind that makes for real eff

exchange
A certain young railway division superinten-
dent, in the month of August last year, asked his
perors for three snowplows to be furnished soon
possible. His request was received with laughter
and rdicule. When the demand was made on him
to why he ordering plows in hot weather, he
replied:
/ know my division l want to be prepared
for what will probably come. Send me the pows.'
The plows were not sent him. In December
his division overwhelmed with snow, and for
the lack of pows his company at that particular
time lost large of money through inability to
keep the right of way open.
The division superintendent censured in
February for not having been prepared for such
situation. He referred his critics back to his orders
given in August for the pows. That cleared his
and reputation. but it did not restore to the
company what it had lost through failure to under
stand his wisdom in looking ahead.

hopes to accomplish the higher things that exist on

In packing a Christmas box of eat

that will not keep perfectly. AS de-
lays are easily possible during the holi-

the Christmas box include high grade
goods in glass or tin.
The following menu provides SUI
ficient quantity of homemade good
things and includes some appetizing
canned articles: Il

entire menu requires heating. and all
could be served with little trouble. By
using the liquor from the maraschino

other wine for flavoring. The aspara-
gus tips should be accompanied by a
jar of homemade mayonnaise, which
will stand the journey well If carefully

supply of small cakes and crisp cook
