ON SPUR OF
THE MOMENT
BY ROY x. MOULTON.

Jane and Alice.
Jane and Alice, soon you'll see,
Tho they've both the fairest faces,
They're as different as can be,
Different charms and different graces;
James n terror and a tease
And at times trifle sporty.
She's the sort that seems to please.
And her beauX, at least, are forty.
Alice is n bit demure
And it's only fair to mention,
Tho she's pretty, to be sure,
Jane has far the most attention;
Alice has a quiet way,
Jane is full of romp and clatter,
Alice hasn't much to say,
Jane is chatter, chatter, chatter.
Jane is just the sort. you know,
To enliven any party,
Alice too, is jolly. tho
She is not perhaps hearty;
James the sort to take the eye,
Gay and graceful as a fairy,
Alice, cheerful, harpy, shy,
Alice~is the sort to marry!
Happy Thought.
Be more like the scissors sharpen
ing man. He's often happy though his
life is a grind and ne always find:
things dull
Lost and Found.
A conscientious clerk is Hake
And it is often said
That if he finds the least mistake
He's sure to lose his head.

INVENTORS.

Inventors are men with some
thing do to and no way to do it
who do it.
We say inventors are men. They
are men. You don't find any in
ventors among the lower animals.
No, sir.
You never heard of a lightning
bugs trying to put more candle
power in his tail, did you? Or a
hen trying to lay sidewalks instead
of eggs? No. Nor a toad with
patent cure for warts, either.
Inventors are not only men. but
they are the type of men who prove
absolutely that men never were
monkeys, or tadpoles, or tuna fish
or anything else but men.

And so the last thing that l see
Is mothers face bent over me.

And softly close my bedroom door;

She isn't very scared, you see,
Because 1 hug her up to me.

My little room would look the way

But OH I'm always scared to see

Com BIS and Brushes.

Combs and brushes have now been
in use for some while, and few of US
would feel fit Off the days work with
out applying them to our hair The
function of the comb and brush is so
familiar to most of our readers that
we scarcely need touch upon it here.
The human race is the only species
of the animal kingdom that has found
the comb and brush a necessity. Lots
of other sorts of animals have more
hair. but they seem able to do nicely
without combs and brushes. F'aunal
naturaHsts declare that monkeys can
be taught to use combs and brushes
and it is not at all uncommon for
vodevil actors to use them. 1t is a
fact of science that the comb and
brush was unknown to some of the
worlds earliest creatures and students
of geological strata have never dug up
any old combs and brushes. Perhaps
they never looked in the right place.
They could dig up a few in any lodg-
ing house.

When we would note your every curve,
Must pardon now our yawns when we
Observe you
We mind in other days as how
A glimpse of ankle would delight US,
Alas, that you no longer now
Excite us.
In days of yore you'd always please
If you but showed glimpse If any,
But now that you display the knees
Too many.
All for your longer days of yore
When you were banded by the breezes,
When, muddy streets a-stepping DER,
You'd please us!
