COMING BACK.

COMING BACK.
The nicke will come back, they say,

And yet twill never see the day
| Wien it will buy stein OF beer

We are going 10 have new peace dollar
And we are going to put up hard night to ge
hold OF few of 'em. Make nifty souvenirs, ac
cordng to the description, and it is said that they
will be acceptable to the landlord and the grocer
in payment of incurred liability.
TODAY'S IDLE THOUGHT.
OF llS men who passed given point on
Farnam street yesterday in given period, not
one was wearing a straw hat
Directors Say Chicago Opera Company
Sound"-Bee Line. Well, sound is about all one
expects from an opera company.
Another vivid example OF the triumph Of
science over brute strength-the Carp-D -Demp
fight lasted less than four rounds and yet it was
developed into hve-reel feature.
WASTED WORRY.
worried for days over hand.picked cigars,
Over neckties worried lot
But that worry was vain, for I'm thanking my
stars
That they were all good ones got.
A FEW NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.
Now that the Christmas rush is over and the
exclamatons of surprise, pleasure and dismay
are dying out, and with the old year sliding rap
idly into the dim and misty past from whence
no year ever returns-and with the challenge OF
1922 staring us in the face, it is well and custo-
mary to take advantage of the lessons learned in
the school of experience and formulate few
New Years resolutions.
For the benefit of those whose mental pro-
cesses went cuckoo over the strain of picking
Christmas gifts, we are giving from our vast
store few resolves warranted to keep In dry
climate and which may be adopted without fear
of undue hardship.
The whereas's thusly being disposed of, there
FORE be it resolved:
That beginning on New Years day I am
going to be bright and cheerful and happy-bu
l will not let my songs of gladness annoy others.
That will not knowingly indulge in intoxi-
eating liquor in the presence of Mr.. Rohrer or
anyone connected with his Office.
That will be moderate in my habits and not
let hard work impair my health.
That | will not smoke to excess-unless my
friends are more liberal with cigars than they
have been in the year just past.
That will be just and fair to my employers
and will not annoy them by refusing to accept
an increase in salary at any time they see ft to
force it on me.
That |, as husband, will not deny my wife
the exercise she needs by refusing to allow her
to tend the furnace.
That I, as a wife, will try to live within my
husbands income as long as he turns it all over
to me.
That will give heed to the burdens of my
fellowmen, and when have happy thought or
run across anything that hands me smile,
will send it to Philo for his column.
And there you have it, as my friend Old
Pliny used to chirp, in totdem verbs.
GREETINGS
A Merry Christmas, Philo
And many, many more,
We surely do appreciate
The wit you keep in store
And give to us, with smile and quip,
Our laughter to provoke,
If only there were more like you
We'd all be happier folk!
