L always said that before l got
Tied down by q wife and kids,
I'd go to see the great god Budd,"
An the Sphinx an Pyramids.
It's the big bazars 1 want most to
see
What read in a Kipling book
Has kept me wishin' day an night
For a chance to go an look.
I've been workin' steady in Jubb's gar
age,
An I've saved what I could have
spent
For tobacco an movies-an' now I
could take
My tour of the Orient.
Yet last night, one the sofa with
Nance,
Somehow l let myself slip.
An / kissed her an mentioned what
I'd saved,
But not word of my trip
Well, Nance isn't bold, yet she dropped
a hint
That lots O. folks married on less;
An, you see, l couldn't act selfish
then
So the matters settled, I guess
I'll give her my savin's to fit up a fiat;
But to-day, as cleaned the cars,
A voice kept sayin' You paid for that
kiss
With your Oriental bazars."

Then Jephthah gathered together
all the men of Gilead, and fought
with Ephraim. And the Gileadites
took the passage of Jordan before the
Ephraimites: and it was so, that when
those Ephraimites which were escap-
ed said, Let me go over; that the men
of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an
Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; then
said they unto him, Say now Shibbo-
leth; and he said Sibboleth: for he
could not frame to pronounce it right.
Then they took him and slew him.

A LOYAL Race

DIR. Frissell, for many years head of
the Hampton Institute for the aduca-

the reports of German intrigues among
colored men; Certainly no other race
coming from a foreign soil can be
compared with negroes in their 10y

in the spreading of German intrigue
among this loyal people.-New York

Dirty-D Dollar-Bill Championship

While we have no way of knowing
positively, we believe Gallipolis has the
largest collection of privately owned
dirty dollar bills in America. Remark
able as 1t seems, we have had occa-

recently (they just passed through
like a limited train) and they were
soiled almost beyond recognition

PARK VANDALISM

r Unless and until the City Park
" authorities make an example of
some of the vandals and mis-
creants who are destroying planting
and otherwise maliciously damaging
city property there will be no cessa-
ton of these outrages. Flowers, plants,
park benches, all are subject to the
attacks of these loafers who have
thus far been permitted to escape
when they should have been arrested
and severely punished.
A recent instance of the malicious
character of this vandalism was the
destruction of the wall at Tulip
Spring in Wildwood Park. Let the
heavy hand of the law fall upon these
fellows without further delay. It
ought not to be a difficult matter to
accomplish arrests and punishment.
