THE HONEYMOON SPECIAL.

The world IL old and full OF prunes,
But still folks 70 ON honeymoons-
It IL an old worid-old yarn.
As thrilling as the battle OF the Msrne.
They first meet and make goo goo syes,
Next they klss and are full Of siEhs.
Then she begins TO pull him In.
Using the threats OF love, very thin.
Mes not the first fish ever caught
On these threads that are wrought
BY woman's wondrous wiics-that art
Obi the fish that are landed from this
Then she hints ut . wedding ring.
And prepares him for the fsteful sting.
BY this time he no longer resists,
And on bliss alone he now subsists.
The wedding day soon arrives,
And all her friends have the hives
Getting her ready for the big day
When shes tied to her sweet Jay.
The preacher says the omnious words
which tie hard and fast these two
birds.
Then they take the honeymoon trip.
The nectar OF love to sip.
Folks say the journey n Just great
Equals Ice cream and cake
But sometimes the honeymoon route
Leads to pickles and sauer uaut.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS.

Dear Bill: When you think Of
the luxuries and enjoyment Of the
millionaires In this country you
can't wonder that . wOriSingman
gets sore and wishes that he, too,
could have some Of the happiness
that comes from the possession Of
money. Isn't the inequitable dis
tribution Of wealth the cause Of 10
many OF our strikes and OF dissatis-
faction among the employed?
WORKINGM!AN.
To properly answer the ques-
tons asked would require many
columns Of space, whether there is
or Is not agreement with the
writer.
Wealth may be desirable from
the standpoint Of luxuries II will
give and pleasures 1t will bring.
but that II is necessary to happi.
ness we strongly dispute. The
happiest people on earth are the
negroes Of the South, and they are
the poorest. They have more real
enjoyment out of lfe-much re-
stricted az IL is-Athan all the
millionaires of the world put to.
gether. At a picnic or dance, with
banjoes, guitars, fiddles or jews
.harps, they get more fun in a
minute than Rockefeller ever had
In his eighty-odd years of exist
ence.
Enjoyment Of life is a personal
philosophy. The sunshine we get
out of existence is not found on
the outside of us. II Is on the
inside, and looks out. We generate
1t II II isn't natural with us. We
can plant II and cultivate II just
az we would a garden of roses and
get as much pleasure from the
cultivation as we would from the
rose garden. @.. 8
Happiness is a mental state
your own mental state. It Is not
to be found on trees, like fruit.
You may pursue II here, and there
but the Journey Is useless. Consult
yourself, not somebody else. II
you haven't q sunshine distributor
In your own soul, construct one.
The materials cost you nothing. as
would a radio distributor and re-

with a decidedly ripe tomato.

CURBSTONE PHILOSOPHY.

Nothing makes a flapper mad
