PIPE DREAMS OF CITY MAN
Raising Spuds at One Dollar sushe'
Certainly Looks Good to Us,
BY Heckl

When l am old and bent and worn,
with hair all gray and pants all torn
and town has grown too swift for me,
and in my backs a miseree, I'll take
my bundle meath my arm and go and
settle on q farm, and in the spring
and in the mud each square foot
will plant a spud, then with a nice
self-starting hoe I'll coax the lowly
spud to grow, as spuds were never
coaxed before, and they shall Irvine
about my door, and shall drink up
the morning dew, and shade the wind
ing avenue that sort of turns and
twists and crawls to get to my an
cestral halls.
And paris green by pecks I'll lug
to put on each pertater bug. I'll Keep
the weeds out of the rows, and when
a hot wind comes and blows I'll
sprinkle each one from can and SIT
beside it with fan until the danger
has gone by; will not let it wilt and
die.
And when dead leaves are earth
ward tossed ana Wnen HoIlhel
threatens frost I'll get cute little
union suits to put upon the spuddish
beauts. l shall know each last spud
by name and pet each one and make
1t tame; so that when autumn comes
apace I'll go and open up my face
beside the bars and call each spud by
name, and it shall leave the mud, and
leave the vine and leave the tree,
when my call comes, and follow me.
And shall hike away to town and
where the roads go winding down the
spuds shall follow me, and go where
hungry men rush to and fro in search
of spudS, and they shall pay PUNK
q peck for spuds that day, and shall
get wad of kale as big as any cotton
bale. That's what I'll do when | am
old and when my blood is getting cold.
/ think I'll do it, anyhow; but I've not
time to start it now.--Judd Lewis, IN
Houston Post.

WoMAN's DRESS NOT MODERN
Recently Discovered Drawings Prove
That Dame Fashion Has ReiGned
for Quite a Lengthy Period.

Rock drawings recently laid bare in
the Spanish peninsula have discovered
to us very interesting period of pre-
historic man. From Il lecture recent
ly delivered in LonGon,by Str A,thur
Evans of the British Archaeological aus
ISOLATION 1t appears that palaeolithic
woman was not only dressed, but most
gracefully. At Cogul the drawings in
dictate that the sacred dance was per-
formed by women, clad from the waist
downward in~well-cut gowns whilst
in the rock shelter of Alpera the dress
of the same Sbirted ladies' is supple
mented by thin flying sashes. In the
paintings at Cueva de Ia Viege women
are seen with still longer gowns ris-
ing to their bosoms, their shoulders
yelled in Scarfs.,
Thus we are astonished to find that
fashion has much longer history
than has been hitherto believed.
These recent discoveries are the
more Interesting because hitherto

Jack and the Bea nstalk," an elabo-
rate perturbation of the world-famous
fairy tale. is being shown at the Ca
sino. 1t is a most ambitious production
and has been splendidly staged and
handled effectively.
Everybody knows the. story when
has been handed down from the
earliest English peoples as a heritage
of JOY to the present day. Jack soid
his mothers cow for a sack OF beans.
She was angry with him, and she thre"
the seeds out of the window. Next
morning she found that they nan
sprouted. An enormous beanstalk
reached from the ground to the sky.
Jack filled with the spirit of adven-
ture climbed it and landed in coun-
try above the clouds where dwelt an
awful giant and beautiful princess.
After many adventures Jack killed the
giant, married the princess. and all
lived happily ever afterward.
The story lends itself wonderfully
to pictures. 1t has an Introductory
