BIZ THE SAGE OF THE SIDEWALK
Jack and I'LL in Variations,


Prot. o. W. Coursey clipped from United
States paper. the following account Of the dis
asters of Jack and jill. Tor would you call
them 'adventures'0:
Jack and Jill went up the hill =
ITO get pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
It is all q matter of temperament Mother
Goose was not given to sentiment, and 30
could report with perfect candor and GOODNESS
this great tragedy. The same sad plight wit
messed by another might have been the occa-
sion for terrible warning. philosophic specu-
lation, or beautiful sermonizing.
Whittier would have said:
Alas for Jack! Alas for Jill!
That fateful quest for mountain rill!
And alas for any whom ills betide.
Upon . treacherous mountain side.
For Of all hard trials the hardest lies
In slipping when SO near our prize.
Dear Will Shakespeare would doubtless
have written:
Was it Jack or was it jill? That is the question
Could it be Jill who pushed her brother down
And caused that pail Of water to be spilled.
And that poor skull to crack in such a way
And work such inconvenience? Oh, yes, twas
Jill!
No other She only thought that she would end
Those ills which at the instant did confront her
And stir her spirit-twas consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To give one push!
To push! Perchance to fall herself! Ay
there's the rub.
But in that deed she saw no cause Of fear,
Which to an act SO treacherous and ,unwise,
! Should give a pause.
Mrs. Hemans with beautiful simplicity would
have pointed the moral thus:
The boy stood there with HIS happy face
Beside his sweetheart Jill.
Within his bucket was no trace
OF water from the hill.
The fathers unexpected call
Alarmed the pretty Jill,
And in their haste to answer him
Both tumbled down the hill.
1--WE hope so, anyway.

A Slight Mistake.

The editor of a weekly lately lost two Of his
bonafde subscribers through accidentally
transposing his answers to a couple of his
correspondents. Two had written asking rem
edies for their respective troubles. No. /, q
happy father Of twins, asked the best way to
tide them over teething. No. 2 wanted to know
how to protect his orchard from grasshoppers.
The editor framed his answers thus: No. l.,
Cover them carefully with straw and set fire
to them. and the little pests, after jumping
about in the flames, will speedily be settled.
No. 2: Give a little castor oil, and rub the
gums gently with bone ring"

Answer-No, sir, age need not be-,

Tho Last Word in Vacuum Cleaners.

We knew there were 81 varieties Of vacuum
cleaners. That many at least g. :. We
did not know, however, that "Sid" was the last
word in this science of sanitation. "A mental
vacuum cleaner; an Intellectual stomach
pump" Bruce Barton calls him, and says In
part:
I "St Peter probably will have him arrested
for blocking traffic on the day when he an
proaches the Golden Gates Think what an
amazing amount of information about human
nature the venerable gentleman must have.
You have been here long time Sid will say
to st. Peter. Now let's get right down to
cases. Do more people come here from the
cities or from the country? How does the
number OF bankers compare with the number
Of plumbers? Which makes the most trouble
in the choirs-the tenors or the sopranos!
How do you decide who will be the harp play,
ers and who will get flutes? 1t will be a great
and busy day for St. Peter when Siddall ar
rives." At least>that's what Bruce Barton pre-
diets. And Bruce ought to know. He's the
son OF minister and bosom friend of Sid's
Removal Notice.
George (affectionately) dear, I've
had something hesitating on my lips for some
time now and"
Helen dnterruptingl-"O George, how
do hate those little mustaches."
Once 1t was difficult to distinguish between
q necessity and a luxury. Now 1t isn't What
ever you buy is a luxury-Beloit News
Speaking of hesitating reminds us Of some
thing that just came over the wire:
The man who hesitates is lost
In any field of action;
When woman hesitates she wins
Man loves her to distraction.

an Oklahoma City boy, and the story
Of he difficulty he experienced In

one Of his nephews just leaked ou.

According to army recruiting Of

The boy, who had his eye on serv-

but the sergeant was firm and the
applicant went his way. Next day,
however, he was back and this time
he made such a fuss that Colonel
TyndAl heard about il and ordered
that the boy be given 4 thorough ex-
animation to see what could be done

Examination showed that the boy
was perfectly healthy in spite Of the
fact that, according to the officers.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-That another
conference will be called soon between
Government officials, officials Of the
British Embassy and representatives OF
The Wooden and worsted Manufacturers
Association, at which time, It Is be-
lieved, final arrangement will be COM
pleted to allow American manufacturers
10 purchase needed Australian wool, is
indicated by reports current here.
Whether or not the conference Will bs
held prior TO the return of Secretary
Redfield to Washington, which is scheh-
uled for September 1, has not been an
nounced.
Opposition to the plan Is still being
made by Western wool growers, but 1t
il not felt that the opposition is of SUIT
ficient strength to develop Congress
SIGNAL action. The probable plan will
be to bring the wool here and dispose
of II at auction, as II Is believed that
this is the most practical method.
Wool growers associations In several
States have protested to their repre-
sentatives in Congress against the pro-
posed auctions These protests are
similar to the protests voiced by the
National Association Of Wool Growers.
In response to kilograms, members OF
the House took up the matter with
Executive Department officials. who eX-
planned that there was no embargo or
wool imports and that il the British
CT vernment desired to do SO 1t could
send as much wool here as could be
sold without violating any restrictions
