SEEN ON THE SIDE
I Love to Poke the Fur,,c.,
BY HENRY EDWARD WARMER

Love to Poke the Furnace.
Another of tho Popular Movie Brand of Songs:
Bound to Be tho Rage: Watch Emil
Ono day man sat in his slceves,
His breakfast near was through
When unto him his wife declared,
Go down and stir the nue.'
So up he got and went downstairs
And opened up the door
And pokcd the fire until 1t sang
And then She heard him roar:
CHORUS
II love to poke tho furnace
dearly love the furnace
love to pull the clinicrs through tho door.
love to shovel coal because
1T makes such music when II draws.
dearly love TO make tho furnace roar"
SECOND VERSE.
Next morning he was sound aslecn
When she got out of bed
And down tho steps she picked her wav-
The fire was nearly dead:
She opened up the draft and nut
Some coal upon the fire,
And then he heard her voice in song
Like some angelic choir:
CHORUS tFEMALE voICEs).
II love to poke tho furnace
dearly love the furnace

do not like to wake my man
Sut SO and do the best can
To make our dear old family furnace roar"

And from the place where he is al
She often hears him sing:

The House OF Delegates is TO be COM
mended for its action in reconsiderng the
vote by which it rejected Governor Davis's
Recommendation for the creation of COM
mission to devise plans for solution OF farm
labor problems. Nothing is of higher inn
portance 10 the State and nation than that
the farmer be ided safely past the labor
crisis which grows more acute as the plant
ing ahd harvest seasons approach, for upon
him rests the very existence OF the country's
armies in field and camp and continuance
of its war activities. There must be con
certed effort in his behalf, and the Governors
plan is a step in the right direction.

stands nine miles northeast of Larned,
Kans. 1t was Il conspicuous landmark
of the old Santa 'e trail II is a low
disintegrating pile Of red sandstone.
1t receives it's name from the Pawnee
Indians. The Santa Fe trail ran along
the base of the rock and it was the
scene in early days Of many bloody
battles between Indians and pioneers
and travellers on tho trail. The State

capital Of the Pawnee Indian republic.
1t was in this village that Lieutenant
Zebulon NJ. Pike unfurled the first
United States flag seen west OF the
Mississippi River. That was in 1906
Pike substituted the American banner
for the red and yellow OF Spain. which
had been unfurled by a Spanish party
under the command Of Lieutenant Mall

Kansas in 1875 and settled near Paw
nee Rock. In April. 1908. he gave tho

Let each new temple nobler than

Shut one from Heaven with a dome
more vast.
