Rhymes of a Want-AD Man

There was a man in our town
And he was wondrous wise,
He tried a Herald ad and
found
1t paid to advertise.
And when he saw the good
results
He telephoned to Main,
Said, "Give me 62-2,"
And advertised again.
Jack Spratt could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean.
But Herald want ads brought
customers
Who licked the platter clean
Little Bo-Peep, she lost her
sheep,
How careless not to mind
'em,
For Bo-Peep had no Herald ad
That would have helped her
find 'em.

The Hated Profiteer.

Everybody hates a profiteer.' said
Secretary Hoover at Washington
banquet, land everybody knows where
the profiteer will go to when he dies,
"A millionaire prOfiteer was carried
off by indigestion, and his employees
attended the funeral in a body. BY
the terms Of the will the profiteer was
buried in a strange manner. He wore
his newest frock coat, his largest dia-
Inond ring and his costliest platinum
watch. Furthermore his best cane
vas buried with him, and in his mouth
was his newest set of teeth, the set
with the gold plates.
81 understand all this business
said one of the dead profiteerS EN-
ployees. It's for show. But ! can't
understand about the false teeth.
What's the sense of it?
1.-THE sense of it., said another EN-
ployee, is easy to see. How would the
boss feel when he got to the weepin'
and wailin' and gnashln' shop if he
hadn't fine set OF teethT"

MICHAEL COLLINS

Tis never joy in Ireland
Since Collins went away,
And never shines the star by
night
Or warming sun by day
The women weep and men
kneel down
For him who died in Bandon
Town.
Oh never was a comet riven
From Heavens starry dome
That shone with such a bril-
liant ray
AS Collins did at Home
In him the heart of Emmett
beat
And Grifith's strength held
firm his feet.
He sang the songs of Erin fair
Along the Ulster border
Or cheerer the wounded SOL
dier lad
Who died for law and order.
His very smile was strong to
hold
A rebel army in it's fold. y
Will ever bird sing to it's mate
From Cork to Dublin city
But songs of prayer for Collins
soul
Whose very life was pity?
All! Enc the winds which
bare him forth
Are hushed in silence thru
the North.
And Kitty weeps in Erin land
For her "ph2ntom rebel" lover
Until the fight is won" he said
"There'll be no bridal bower"
He went away. There ne'er
will be
So brave an Irishman as he.

Sec'y Y. M. C. A.

The below letter was receiv-

recent date from John H. Car

Dawson City. The letter is of
great interest.
Keno City, Y. T.
Aug. 5, 1922
Dear Sister:
l received your letters and
papers O. K, was so glad to
get them.
l am fine and never felt bet
ter in my life. This high alti-
tude agrees with me and this
sure will be a big mining camp.
| started to write you on July
9th and at that time a friend
of mine came in our tent and
told us that there was a big sill
yer strike on the Beaver River,
which is SO miles from here. So
my friend and l started on the
big stampede to the Beaver.
We had some time in getting
., pack horses but at last we got
started.
There we're a lot ahead of us
that night. We got out %
miles and stopped to camp.
The horse feed was very scarce
i and about 2:30 in the morning
| woke up and the horses were
gone. 1t took us 10 hours to
find them, so that was a big de-
lay. In three days we got there
You see there isn't any trail.
at all, just thru swamps and
over mountains.
| We looked all over the Nc
Cay Mountain and found it
most all staked, so we didn't
get in there. The next day we
went to the top of Mt. McCay
and | told my friend | wanted
to go acriss the big valley to
those big mountains; he was
game and we started. 1t took
us longer than we thought it
would but we had not been
there twenty minutes before
we were picking up (Gelena) 8,
which is silver ore. All we had
TO eat for Is hours was two
hard-tacks.
So we came back to Mt Nc
Cay and told a lot of the boys
and there soon was a big mob
over there and the boys insist
ed on calling the mountain, Mt
Carpenter, the one at the left,
Mt. Elliott, after my friend.
We staked 68 claims in all, the
first one I called, "Hard-tack"
the merit "1nez" and the last
"Vermont."
We got several assays, the
best one was 80 ounces in sill
yer and the last was 10 ounces.
We can't tell yet as we have
not dug a bit, only picked the
samples up on the surface. It
will take time to tell, the worst
is so far away. over where we
are has never been surveyed.
Did not see any signs of man
or Indians.
1t is new country, lots of
game. Moose by the hundreds,
mountain sheep, bears, wolves,
and lots of signs Of beaver.
The mountains are about 7
to 10 thousand feet high. away
above timber line. | can't tell
how it all will come out yet.
Next March we will get some
dogs and freight some provis-
ions over there, so we can
work. {
This letter is for all. | will
close with love to all.
Your loving brother.
John.
| P. S.-For seven days all we
had to eat was moose steak.

The other two sons, Henry and
George, have practically to rub along
on their own army and navy pay, re-
spectively. helped along, no doubt, by
a. frequent ] amittance from the queeh.
The next big assault on the royal
bankroll viii be Princess Mary s
dowry. Happily, she is marrying a
very rich man, and the dot VIII
therefore be considerably smaller
than would have been the case had
she selected some young continental
princeling as spouse. Nevertheless.
the fortunate young bridegroom will
not have a penniless bride. but one
richly endowed and well iewelled; all
this, of course, means more inroads
into the kings already sadly over
taxed banking account.
Undoubtedly the kings expenses
exceed his income. Last year there
was a big deficit, and the royal
household was seriously excited Un-
like the kings of Great Britain in the
past, who in such circumstances un-
blushingly went TO parliament for an
extra grant from the treasury. King
George realized that the assessable
qualities of his subjects were strained
to the very utmost and decided TO
make ends meet by rigid household
economies.
The few private estates owned by
the king which have been bequeathed
to him from purely private sources,
have all been disposed of privately:
the last of all, his estate in the Isle
OF Wight. is now in the hands of a
real estate agent for sale by private
treaty and has been for two months,
but up to now there has been no
offer.

on the board and wages. Not so the
royal servants. For generations their
families have served the rulers OF
Great Britain, and their childrZ1 in
generations to come will be expected
TO serve similarly. therefore any act
depriving them of that inheritance
is a thing unheard Of. Royal servants
are born, not made.
Holyrood palace, in Scotland;
Windsor castle. Sandringham and
Buckingham palace are all establish
ments which carry a retinue of serv-
ants and cost far more than the col
lective palaces of any millionaire.
Yet none OF these can be disposed OF.
Then there are the costs OF the
members of his own family. The
Prince of Wales is provided for, also
the Duke of York and Princess Mary.
The Duke gets $4,000 a year but
half of that goes in income tax, from
which, unlike the king and the Prince
of Wales, he has no exemption. So
the royal dad has TO unloosen bit
to his secord son now and again.

WILL HEAR RATE CASE - The
arbitrary rate OF two line haul" case
of the corporation commission
against the Arizona Eastern and
Southern Pacific railway companies
will be heard before Referee Thomas
j. Flynn in the federal court here on
April 3 according to announcement
made yesterday. The case had it's
inception in 1913 when the corpora
tion commission issued an order plac-
ing an arbitrary charge for the trans
ferring of freight from one railway
line to another. The railway COM
panies have maintained that the two
lines are separate lines and that they
are entitled to make the arbitrary
charge when freight is transferred at
the junction points. The corporation
commission maintains that the two
roads are one and the same and that
they are not entitled under the order
to make the charge. The case now
before the federal court is the appeal
made to that court by the railway
companies from the order of the cor
poration commission requiring them
not to make the charge.
