"A LESSON FOR YOU"

I am going to write this story
| And perhaps it might help you,
And keep you from getting into trouble
Over Bad Women, Gambling and Booze.
Now suppose you're Gambling Man,
| And always make big win;
But when you start to lose your money,
| Then, that is where your trouble begins
You will win awhile then you will lose,
Then you will get mad and lose your heat
But when you start to lose your money,
Then that is where your trouble begins.
But suppose you're Ladies, Man
And they will call you a Dude.
But after they get all your money
They laugh, and call you a fool.
There might be one, you call your woman
And you will sap that ''She is the best in
the World;"
And then you will get in trouble again,
For, about her, you will kill some man.
But suppose you are just plain Old Drunk
Who, for him Self he has no pride;
And when he gets his Bottle OF Booze,
Don't care whether he lives or dies
OF course every man knows his fe
But | will tell you before you begin;
That OF you take anyone OF these three
You will come to sorrowful end"
There is one thing about Sporting Life
That | will try to reveal,
TT takes money to live up to it,
And to get it you will Murder, Gamble
Steal"
Now take a tip from one who knows,
And let that gay life alone;
And get you a nice little Wife and HoNse,
And have you a Happy, Home Sweet Homie.
Now il you choose this gay high life,
And then you get in hole;
1t will be too late then, to weep and moan,
And say, 81 wish that had another show
Perhaps you will say, THAT 1 can't have any
fun
II don't gamble and run around all night"
But there are plenty of people having fun
And living a respectable life.
Now after you read this little tip
II rs up TO you 20 decide,
But every one can lead respectable life,
ii they will only TRY, TRY, TRY.

DEATH BY PRE-
VENTABLE ACCIDENT.

Last year 1888 people in Tennessee
lost their lives by accident. Railroad
accidents were responsible for 273 of
these fatalities; automobile accidents
for 81 of them; the remaining sos
were due to great variety of causes |;
but it is worth noting that most of
them were in the country districts.
1t is also worth noting that while
people find a great many ways of
getting killed, there are certain ac-
cidents that appear as causes of death
year after year with depressing reg
ularity.
Every year children are burned to
death by falling into unprotected
fireplaces, or into tubs OF hot water,
or by being fastened up in houses
while their parents go away. Every
year men are killed by having loade
wagons, or the improperly placed
loads of wagons, overturn upon them
Every year men are caught in the
harness and dragged to death by
horses or mules. Every year men are
killed by trusting gentle" bulls or
safe" stations.
Safety first" is good motto. Let
us remember it little better.-Sou-
thern Agriculturist.
