"MERE MAN"

S. W. Hart, in Los Angeles Record
Man, just mere man. might be the title
Of what am going to say.
Man comes into this world, without
his consent, and leaves it against his
will. He has no voice in the matter
During his stay on earth, his time is
spent in one continuous round of con
traries and MISUNDERSTANDING. In his
infancy, he is the nearest approach to
our conception to an angel. In his
Ooyhood he divides his honors with the
devil and monkey, with his irrepres-
sible FRANKS. In his manhood, he is
everything from a lobster up. When
he falls in love, he is a fit subject for
the home of the feebleminded If he
raises a family, he is a chump. If he
is a poor man, he is a poor manager,
and has no sense. If he is rich, he is
dishonest, but considered smart. If he
is out Of politics you cannot place him,
and he is an undesirable citizen. If
he goes to church he is a hypocrite
If he stays away from church, he is
sinner If he donates to charity or for
eign missions he does it for show. If
he refuses he is stingy and tight
wad
When he first comes into the world, all
the girls in the neighborhood, incud-
ing the old maids, want to borrow him
and kiss him. If he dies young, there
was always a future before him. If he
had lived to a ripe old age, he is in the
way and only living to save funeral
expenses, and because people do not
want to waste the time to bury him
alive.
II he swipes a loaf Of bread for his
starving family he can 80 to jail for
six months. If he swipes a railroad or
steamship line he can (sometlmes)
go to congress for six years or longer.
| II he makes a million or two on an
upward" tip. in a "watered stock
| market, he is a marvellous iinancier.
If he can't make It, he is either a
fool" or is playing out of luck, so
what's the use anyway.

HOME CIRCLE COL UMN.
SEND HIM A PAPER

Said Private Jimmie Barkis as he
chatted to his mates,
II wonder what they're dom in the
old United States;
Is Ty Cobb hittin' doubles in the way
he used to do?
Is Speaker peggin' runners with that
same old deadly throw?
wish | had a paper from the home
town, old or new,
An could read about the people an
the places that | know.
Il cant get interested in the Daily
Mail or Times,
| want the hom town paper with its
latest local crimes.
I'm wondering who has married since
the day l marched away,
Who's been buried since l left there,
so much l want to know"
For a copy of the paper l would give
up six months pay,
There's so much I'd like to read of an
so much l want to know
Said Private Jimmie Barkis, 1T is a
funny thing to me,
But they seem to think a paper we
don't ever want to see.
They write us cheerful letters an they
send us things to wear.
They send us good tobacco and we're
mighty grateful too.
But they plumb forgot a paper from
the old town over there
Is a thing we'd never part with till
we'd read it thorugh and through.

AN OLD GEEZER

There was an old geezer and he had a
lot Of sense;
He started up a business on a dollar
eighty cents
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by dad!
Well, he bought more good and a lit
tie more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face
The ustomers nocked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for a regu-
lar store.
Upon the square where the people
pass,
He gobbed up a corner that was all
plate glass.
lie fixed up the window with the best
that he had
Then he told them all about it in a
half-page ad
He soon had em coming, and he never
quit
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one bit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the
town ever since
And everybody calls him the Merchant
Prince. -Veyay Reveille.

A raw boy without a dollar, present
or prospective, sparkling a girl regular
and talking about marrying is a spec
tacle for God and man. He should be
reasoned with, and If he will not quit

and know whom he loves, and the diff

he should be quarantined or put in a

FIGHT ON HISTORIC GROUND
American Troops Operating in Country
for Many Centuries the Scene
of Wars and Revolutions.

American soldiers during their brief
leisure moments are wandering
through ruins and over fields made fa-
miliar to students of history by CEN
turtles of wars and revolutions. Some
Of them have already fought on the
scene Of some Of NapoIeon's operations
in the region of the Marine.
Some are training over ground where
the Normans fought the French and
where the French fought the Span
iards. Later they will perhaps be
marching in line of battle over the
)untry where the French and the Ger
mans have fought again and again and
where they will help the French and
the British end the last Of the wars to
devastate the valleys of France for
centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history of France
is pictured all over the areas occupied
by the Americans in ancient churches.
which, along with object lessons in his
tory will give the attentive soldier an
enlarged appreciation of art and archi-
lecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
protiting from these opportunities. an
officer Of the American forces said that,
after getting located, the soldier takes
the first opportunity to explore the
neighborhood. To use one of the Brit
ish terms that are taking root among
the overseas men, they push off" into
all the hooks and corners. If their con-
ceptions Of what they see are often
vague ut first they soon get the habit
of observation which develops into
taste and, in a goodly number of cases,
becomes a study.
