Moo-Cow DAYS
THE MAIL MAN

Moo-Cow DAYS
The lady
Who called the other night
Was OF uncertain age,
With firm, thin lips
And sharp nose tilted upward.
The eyes that bored through tor
toise shells
Said plainly: II an right"
She talked in modulated tones
OF things
That found no echo in my heart:
The sinful world
Fast crashing to destruction,
The double standard that cursed the
race
The proper bringing ND of children.
Although she had refused the bonds
or motherhood.
And l was much relieved when
Laughing down the stairs
Came Betty,
With her dimp1ed. blue-eyed boy,
And throwing him up in the air
She shouted:
"Up-pee-up- up pee-up-
For Mama ha-h ha-ha-
Mamas little bonnie blue
L heard a snort from Mrs. Prim
And coughed to hide it.
Now tell the lady what the bow
WOW says"
Bow wow" there came in baby
music.
Now go just like old kitty cat"
Boo boo-woo,"
Again came baby prattle,
And Betty beamed;
Her mother heart was overlooking.
Now tell her bout the old moo-cow,"
And baby puckered up his lips
In such cunning manner,
And moo-ed and moo-ed and moo-ed.
Then Betty bounced him off to bed
With many kisses.
And left me there to face the storm
OF stern virginity;
1t came with frigid certainty.
Now. Mr.. Bangs. It's time you knew
Such silly twaddle spells ruination:
What must you think the future
holds
For children of such thoughtless
parents?
How can you ever mould his mind
With monkey language?
am amazed, dear Mr.. Bangs. I'm
sorely shocked
Then she flounced out, and on her
way,
And smiling to myself 1 sat ana
unused
How could l chide my Betty dear
How could / ask to mend her ways?
No memories are half so sweet
As memories of
Those moo-cow days.
More skunk was exported from this
country during the first six months

rejecting credit on the common
wealth and the city in which they
live. They did much for Auburn in
her campaign for funds, and we
understand that they are doing much
for the University Of Alabama now.

Popular India

Delhi. India, Nov. 22.-Three air.
planes and finely decorated sword
are to be presented to Mustapha
Renal Pasha by Indian Moham-
medans as tokens of their sympathy
with his cause. These gifts have
been offered through the Central
Khalifat Committee, which recently
has been in session here. One of the
airplanes is to be given by the Agra
province.
The khalifat Committee, in the
resolutions it proposed congratulated
Mustapha Renal Pasha and the Ma
tionalist Turks upon their recent vic
tories over the Greeks, and approved
OF an Angora Legion in India. The
governments of France and Italy
were thanked for the aid which they
had given to Turkey. Appreciation
was also expressed to the King of
Afghanistan for granting equal rights
to Hindus, in the interest of Hindu
Moslem unity.
With regard to the anti Turkish
policy recently displayed by Great
Britain, the Khalifat Committee was
outspoken in its condemnation.

Brazil Neglected by
British Manufacturers

London, Nov. 30.-Brazl has been
overlooked by the British manulac.
turer, according to Sir John L
Thornycroft, and the American tar
if is aiding American exporters in
that South American republic.
Sir John has just returned from
trip to Brazil, and speaks glowngB
of the, latent possibilities of the
country. Brazil is virtually as large
as Europe, and yet there are only
about 3 or 16 millions of inhabitants,
There is an enormous wealth in ma
taral resources, and there are vast
areas in southern Brazil suitable for
stock raising, where the climatic
conditions are good for Europeans,
and which Germans were exploiting
before the war. Then again. tie en-
tent of Brazil's mineral wealth is Of
ten entirely overlooked at Ume. It
has probably the richest iron depos-
its in the world, besides diamonds
and other precious stones, thich are
by no means worked OUT
Sir John expressed $he opinion that

industries ofGreat Britain are doomed
unless we can get some sort Of pro-
lection for our home markets, and
especially get the exchange put right
besides removing some of the dis
abilities we are under as regards
preferential tariffs. Owing to The
Americans tariff policy, the United
States succeeded in getting no fewer
tfan SO different classes of manufac-
turcd goods put on a preferential
tariff basis for importation into Bra
zil, and this hits the British manu-
facturer"
Great Britain lost ground, Sir John
thought, by not sending naval COM
mission to Brazil at the end Of the
war. Americans. on the other hand
took the opportunity to push forward
and are now firmly established as
Brazils naval advisers, with large
staff of American officers.
