JAKIES' BULL PUP

Old John Schmitz hurried in to work,
His face swelled, scratched and warm.
Said the foreman, whats the matter John
Looks like you'd been in a Storm"
Old John looked kind O sheepish,
Pulled his hat down on his head,
Brushed his hand across his eyes,
Then eagerly he said:
"Mine poy Shakey, pot pull bup,
Und ven l gum home lascht night,
De little feller hat dot hund
All fixed for me to fight.
Der hund vas py der gitchen,
Und ven l shut der door,

Und mine golly! how he swore.
Mine poy gums in un GRABBED der tog

THE DREAMS AHEAD

What is it that keeps us up and fit?
It's the dream of what is ahead
Trying and hoping to gain it,
Regardless of the path we tread.
Each and all of us have goal
And though its speck through the fog
of years,
We try to reach it with hopeful soul,
And smiles that are mixed with tears.
It's the dream ahead that is keeping you
up,
AS through lifes storms your way you
fight;
With your lips touching the wormwood's
cup,
And misfortune dimming your guiding
light.
Some folks are dreaming of large estate,
Others, of mountain of wealth;
Still others, are dreaming of truce with
fate,
Of cure and unbounded joy of health.
My dream is of kiddies, home and wife;
And some day, crown above.
That dream is my one desire in life,
A wife, Riddles, home and love.

PLAY BALL!

We're at the bat our purpose DER and DER
To WELD the willow club and try to score.
To try to solve the curve the pitcher
throws,
And lam the sphere where not fielder
goes.
Some of us seem to bat with skill immense,
Knocking long homers o'er the deep field
fence.
Others bunt in6eld hits, but wildly race
And beat the ball down to the primal base.
Still others, though they strive their best,
no doubt,
Fan wildly at the air, and then-strike
out;
Then seek the bench, downcast with visage
drawn,
Crestfallen, shame-faced, blue, ambition
gone,
Or rage the Umpire, growing like bear:
"You robber! that decision wasn't fairw
That's not the game, be not crouch or
gutter!
What though you're not straight 800
You've got another chance. Stand to the
plate.
Grab tight your bat! get braced and
calmly wait
Wait for good one, let the others rip,
And when it comes-nOw! lam it hard
and zip!
It's got to go! and so must you, old man
Hike for the base, keeping going-yes,
you can!
Steal second good now easy-not gay!
There yet lead hit! now you're
away!
Keep on! don't stop! don't lose the dandy
stride
You've got to beat the throw in! slide,
now! slide!
Hurrah! you did it! Score? Of course
you scored!
See there's your tally marked upon the
board
And now you'll win the game-no doubt
at all
You just can't lose, my boy, if you'll play

POET

A Humorist asked for definition
Of poet, replied: "A number one
It's something by society placed on exhibi-
tiOn
For edifcation and besides for fun.
The dowagers carefully look the animal
over,
Glance at his biceps, neck and arms
And after comparison with their housedog,
Rover,
Squabbe which is possessed of greater
charms.
Then the chickens start a conversation
In words that sound both rich and rare
Whether the poet bears distinct relation
To the deuce of clubs to make pair.
Yet mindful of their intensive training
They know what the occasion demands
And show their speed in the obtaining
OF the poets mancured poetic hands.
They pump 'em with the force of an en-
gine,
Each stroke imparting feminine delight
Until afraid he would unhinge
The boob seeks cover by sudden flight.
Yea!-there is sometimes even danger
For the swinger of nasty pen
That some hard boiled matrimonial
ranger
Will to his rooster try play hen.
Some poets leave ineradicable
BY the latent significance of phrase
Hopeless indigestion to those unable
The proper amount of paragoric to raise.
With eyes aglow and names flying
Each claims she wooed and wed the muse
Until it seems, someone is lying.
But who? l pass. 1t is no use!"
Such definition may be faulty,
For even humorists are known to fail
So take it with a grain of salty
Effervesence sprinkled on its tail.

FAITH

Have you ever started something
And looking back you've stopped?
Have you ever lost ball
After seeing where it dropped9
Just so, many worthy prize
Has been lost in some hole,
Because the eyes in turning
Were removed from the goal.
Faith, and faith alone,
Can keep our poor eyes,
Yet too dim to see it
Always looking towards the prize.
Though often it may lead us
On life's trackless plain,
If faith be our compass,
We shall not follow in vain.
But beware of him who whispers,
Friend, just look behind
And see how little is accomplished,
Why seek what you can't find?
Look not, for in looking
You forfeit all of faiths gain,
And like Lots foolish wife,
You may forever there remain.
They who dare to have faith
In God and their fellow-men
Will find the strength to arise,
Though they fall and fall again.
For such there is no failure,
Adversely to them is guiding hand
Leading them ever onward,
Unto their promised land.

MY WIFE

Now listen, wifey darling,
Don't l always say
That l love you beyond all telling
That love eats my heart away?
Sapphires are those eyes of yours
So lovely and so sweet,
Oh, how l am filled with Joy
When my eyes your eyes do greet.
Your heart, dear, it's diamond,
And it sheds splendid light,
am indeed happy man,
For me alone it glows so bright.
As red as roses are your lips,
Nothing better can l prove,
How l long to press mine to them,
To me alone they speak of love.
To me you're a spring flower,
Pure and fair and bright;
A proud and happy feeling
Steals DER me at your sight.
While on my cot here l recline,
Surrounded with pillows and night,
There hovers then before me
Your form of grace and light.
Then, when quiet slumber
Has closed my tired eyes,
Softly does your image
Within my dream arise.
But even with the morning
1t doesn't melt away
For in my heart | bear you
All through the day.
Dear wife, with lips of scarlet,
Clearest, bluest eyes that be,
You are forever on my mind,
Always do think of thee.
Very lonesome are the evenings,
Would that were back home
Sitting by you, sweetheart
In our cozy little room.
Let us bear with patience
For, if nothing goes wrong
Good news may reach you in month
We may not be parted for long.

PICTURE PALS

Dear little picture pals of mine
In my heart you will always be,
Ministering angels with smiles divine,
A blessing from God to me.
There are times when felt real sad
Though tried hard not to feel blue,
And told you that l was cad,
Still you smiled at me, Gus loves you."
There are secrets, of course, that no one
tells,
But this one belongs to you,
And I've struck it rich, now listen pals
It's share for share with you.
Love-" that is the wonderful treasure
You have helped me so much to find,
And Pm sending it now with pleasure,
Wrapped up in joy of every kind.
1t is far more precious than gold,
For it admits you to heaven above,
To the kingdom of children I'm told,
Where the Divine Ruler is Love.
Your pictures now hang in my hall of
fame,
There in my heart forever you dwell,
And love has carved over each name,
This little inscription, "Pal."

IN SPRING TIME

O, the spring time is pleasant
When the rains begin to fall
But the doggon politician,
Butting in will spoil it all.
Then it's l am for labor,
And pillar of the state,
With a don't forget me neighbor
For Pm candidate.
He will talk till after midnight,
While he eats your pie and cake,
And wear out the English language
Telling why he is up to date.
He will kiss the darling babies
Saying none is half so sweet.
And you can bet he is always ready
When there is anything to eat.
If you are sad or deep in trouble,
He will offer you prayer
That would land the meanest sinner,
WE'LL guess you all know where.
Then it's bless you working'people
And it's put her there old sock!
When the frost has hit the pumpkin
The people have had their shock.

of the Treasure state.
The sex ratio Of the farm popula
ton in Montana is 126, 109 males and
99,469 females which is a total OF
1863 males to every 100 females. This
follows the general trend of the sex
of the population of the state since OF
the whole population there are 12O.5

In the whole United States, the fig
ures show there are 31,614,269 peo-
pie living on farms. Of which number
1896 1888 are males and ~15,117,931

The Montana figures also show that
122,723 or 54.4 per cent of the farm
population were over 21; 43,726 or
1914 per cent were between the ages
of 10 and 20, and 59,21S or 26.2 per

There were II coal mines with a
capacity production of 10000 tons
weekly, working in Montana for the
week ending November IL, according
to the weekly coal report issued by the
United States geological survey.
These mines produced 66.S per cent
Of the normal capacity Of the coal
mines of the state and 2t.5 per cent Of
the loss was ascribed as due to trans
portation disability and 1T per cent
to no market.
The weekly production for the week

The difference is accounted for by the
