DoBBINs. DILEMMA

When Dobbins fell beneath the blow
Of good st. Peters righteous club,
He little rocked his overthrow
And sought the gates of Beelzebub;
Arriving there at dead of night,
With knocking knees in great
alright,
Unto the porter thus outspake:
ooh, let me in, for PHYS sakei"
Now Nick sat up with throbbing head,
(He could not lie awake in bed),
For he had news that very day
OF things uanspired in Topekay,
And wondered why these men of state
His private plans could emulate;
And letters patent all in vain
Gave him the cinch on raising Cain
So in i'll hunnor, we suppose,
To greet poor Dobbs reluctant rose
And gliding out within a trice
He hailed the wretch from Paradise
But having learned his biz and place
He slammed the door right in his
face;
Zone of my kind beneath one roof
fain believe it's quite enough
And Dobbs cried out: tsIn mercy's
name,
Must I go back onto my claim 20
Now moralize, We men of state,
Whene'er you try to legisIate,
Though other srup1e not a whit
To steal Old Harry's perquisite,
Con wen this rhyme and count the

DAN D1EDRIck.s DREAM

Dan Diedrick was ranchman bold,
Of whom a story has been told,
How he held down with wondrous
A homestead on the western plains;
A quarter section, more or less,
With all the usual i'll success
The hot winds withered all his corn,
The chinch bugs Slapped his growing
wheat,
His steers all died with hollow horn,
His patent fence proved just
cheat;
The blizzard got his locoed cow,
Her bones lay bleaching in the draw.
The cholera ravaged perch and pen,
The gophers took his sprouting
grain,
The coyotes took his last old hen,
His doughout leaked with every
rain;
His granary stood with empty bins,
To finish up his wife had twins!
One night while musing on his fate
He had a dream. He thought he
And marched straight up to Heavens
gate
And knocked "Who's there!" st.
Peter cried,
1'Where are you from and what's your
name?
Why all this noise and loud ac-
claim 20
"Dan Diedrick, SIRE the wretch re-
piled,
stHeld down a claim before I died =

LONDON EXPRESS SAYS ONCE Is

The World office

The World office acknowledges
the receipt of a "Daily Express" pub
lished in London, England, from our
friend and citizen, w. J. Shelton, who
is now in southeast England. In the
daily express several interesting par
agraphs are marked. Among them is
an editorial under the head of 3sThe
Very Young Idea" in which the treat
ment given the American temperance
worker who was the victim of medi-
cal student mob, is handled IF the
Express is voicing the sentiment of
the more reliable citizens of England,
the editorial is worthy of considera-
ton. 1t is as follows:
"Boys will be boys. Yes, but young
gentlemen must be taught to behave
themselves, and the sort of "rag' or
ganized yesterday round the person of
Mr.. sPussyfoot' who is very devoid of
drollery- 1t may seem to the medical

DICK DOBBIN's DREAM

Dick Dobbins was another man,
Who lived within Kansas town;
He'd heard about the case of Dan,
And how he got his golden crown; ;
He dreamed he died, strange to relate,
And marched straight up to Heav-
ems gate.
The ponderous Knockers rousing din
He rang upon the startled air;
He called the saint to let him in,
And when ST. Peter cried: who's
there?"
Made long his face and told his name,
And said he lived upon a claim
But Peter did not like his looks;
To his recording clerk he said:
"Get down the Kansas record books. -
To Dick this awful truth was read !:
eve find that you have lived in town
And always held an office down.
i can't deny I often sat
Where envious men were won't to
be;
But then the Office wasn't fat,
And always came to seek for me-
You he!" quoth Pete, then took a
And knocked him down to Belzebub.

Kidney disease often advances so
rapidly that many a person is firmly
in its grasp before aware of its prog

given the slightest symptom of kidney
disorder. If there is a dull pain in
the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a
tired, worn-out feeling, or if the kid

and attended with pain, procure a
good kidney remedy at once
