SUNDAY WEATHER.

By Rev. w. E. Ellis.
Dinna gang to kirk
When it rains,
We might catch
Rheumatic pains.
Bide i'hame
When it's cauld, 1875
Lest We dee
When ye're auld!
The kinks nae place
When it's hot,
The folks might think
We cared a lot.
When it's fine,
:: Leave the Lord ..ss...:::..:.:
Gang a-riding
In yer Ford!
We like kirk fine,
Believe in God,
But cannae gaze,
The weather's odd.
Ye're not to blame,
It's in either hand
We bet the Lord
Understands.

POETS CORNER

1T ISN'T YOUR OWN-IT'S YOU!
If you want to live in the kind of a
town
That's the kind of a town you
like;
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you left
behind
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock the town;
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else get ahead.
When everybody works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see.
1t isn't your town-it's you.

PRAY AND PAY.

by j. n. warner.
I used to lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And every day by prayer I tried
To have my every want supplied.
I'd ask God for farm, a cow,
A horse. harness, or plow.
I'd ask Him for a rain or snow,
And not to let the cyclones blow.
And would promise to be good,
II He would send me coal and wood.
There was no farm that I could see
In giving good farm to me.
My praying didn't seem to bring
A single solitary thing.
l couldn't make it rain or snow:
The storms and cyclones, too, would
.,... 90 blow. .-..,-,..,.,,
In church I heard the preachers say;
"All things will come to them that
pray"
But found out I had to work
And toll and sweat and never shirk,
And never stop to rest or play,
Hardly take the time to pray)
For just about ten years, 'twould
seem
To get enough to buy a team.
And when I for my team did pay,
I had to work for feed and hay.
And now when 1 lie down to sleep
At night, think of shearing sheep,
OF cutting grain, or blowing corn,
And work have to do next morn.
think about the fields to NOW,
I think about the bills owe.
The man who takes his pay in
Is not in business anywheres.
And for the fodder and the hash
I eat, have to pay the cash.
l am so busy all the day,
At night I am too tired to pray.
Too tired when I lie down to sleep
To pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Some people may succeed somewhere
In getting property by prayer,
And some by praying to the Lord
May get touring car, or Ford.
But it is best for any man
To purchase one when e'er he can,
And pay for it, as well as pray,
And answer his own prayer that
way.

King of the Courthouse has
stroked his back or tickled his
neck.
Pentilla came into the Halden
fold and Ed. Totman had to con-
tent himself with his job with the
elevator and wear a big, brazen
deadly Double Cross on his fancy
vest.
Recently the Rip-Saw told how
Duluthian once was stung by
the auditorial bee and went to the
Wolvin building to see if the po-
litical soothsayers up there would
make any medicine to help his
candidacy. The prompt reply was
that nothing was doing; that they
were under great obligations to
Mr.. Halden; and that they could
not and would not throw him
down at that time.
Many readers have wondered
in what way the King of the
Courthouse had put the biggest
corporation in America under
"great obligation"' to him. They
knew it could not be the loan of
any money, for Mr.. Halden never
has tried to rise to the particular
elevation Of a money lender.
Now comes former employee Of
County Auditor Halden with
about 100 watts of light on the
subject.
"When I was a slave in the
courthouse" says the enamel
pated chap, it was customary for
the big mining companies to hand
in prepared lists and to inform the
auditor that they were willing to
pay taxes to the extent indicated
in these lists. "
Like a good friend and neigh
Dor, Auditor Halden accepted the
lists and never attempted to have
them changed at all by the board
Of equalization.
That is one way in which he
brought the Big Interests over
onto his side.
Then, every few years, when the
Big Interests feared that the dear
people would get res tive and dis
satisfied and see to it that taxes
were paid on the entire capital
and not on a small portion of the
company profits each year, they
would voluntarily raise their fig
ures in the lists before handing
them to their complacent friend
and benefactor.
Auditor Halden then would call
in the Herald's courthouse repor-
ter and announce, with a great
flourish of trumpets, how he had
looked out for the interests of the
dear people and brought the
wicked mining companies and the
lumber barons to their knees and
compelled them to pay more
taxes. .
Knowing no differently, the
people swallowed all such bun
combe and Halden and his Fat
Friends snickered in their sleeves.

the natural introduction of germs would
