A TEACHERS LUCK

Years ago it used to be the
custom Of the country folk to
work out their taxes by boarding
the teacher, which meant from
time to time he was supplied
from various quarters with food.
One day a boy named Elisha
Anderson sought the teacher and
said:
Say teacher, my pa wantes to
know if you like pork"
Indeed, l do" was the reply.
"Say to your father that there is
nothing in the way OF meat 7
like better than pork"
Some time elapsed and there

The song of the motorist:
Keeping tires on my ford
Is a matter rather grim;
1t keeps my finances
Running on the rim.
The fashions all right
I In Women's short skirts-we
suppose,
But wouldn't she look funny
In her old~fashioned half-silk
hose.
A woman doesn't care so much
about her husband being hand
some if he'll hand some dough to
her occasionally.
It's always something.
The reformers have their trouble
No sooner had they broke
The chimneys from the habit,
Than the girls began to smoke.
There is always some person
III every type of society, who
bores his friends, in an effort TO
amuse them, by using wofn-out
expression such as:
You'll break your camera
The pleasures all yours
How's your daddy
Tain't nothing else
I say she did
If it doesn't rain it will be a long
dry spell
There's always room for one
more.
The longer they come the worse
they look.
He (gloomily) my mind
wailders.
She (sarcastically) Oh, is that

ways absent.

DEADLY GRADE CROSSINGS.

Lon Beach (Cal.) Press: The grade
crossing has claimed more victims
in Lon Beach.
Three lives have been lost in this
city within a week, due to automo-
bile accidents.
Notwithstanding the frequency of
these fatalities, the warning seems
insufficient. Drivers and pedes-
trians continue to plume headlong
to their death.
Grade crossings arc responsible
for a d~iscouraging share of these
casualties.
Little progress has bc2n made in
providing overhead or underground
substitutes for these tra-s. When
aver such an improvemc is sug-
gested for : dangerous crossing the
item of expense stands in the way.
Yet one life is wsrth more than
the few thousand dollars which
would be required to make such
places safe.

NEGRO BRIDE PROVES
WHO WILL BE HELD
oE HER HOIISEHOLD

Marriage licenses were issued to
three negro couples by the county
recorder here Saturday. The prospect
i've bride and bridegroom in
one instance were exceptionally
stylish and the girl SO young
that the recorder feared she
was under age and questioned her.
The girl replied mo MAN ] amt
under age but I'm the youngest OF a
big family and aspects l show I've
been babied a lot" To make sure
however the recorder made them
make affidavit of the girls age maxi
ing the fee for the license $1.5O.
The man did not have anything less
than a S. bill. No sir not he so the
girl simpering extracted the required
amount from her pocketbook taking
in exchange the bill. 'TIl give you
the change when 7 gets it," she said
when the man showed signs of pro-
test but the recorder and those who
witnessed the incident have their own
idea Of who will be the head Of that
household.
