A HUMAN FAILING
THE MAIL MAN

A HUMAN FAILING When I was young The thought struck me That I had best
 Go learn a trade, Or else perhaps I I'd sweep the streets
 Or be a politician. Of course l could have run street cars Or been a cop, But something seemed to say to me: Go learn trade.
 So I went forth and saw man Saving boards, And I could see That he could saw correctly, And I told him I'd like to saw Like I could see that he could saw. But right away he said to me, Fer git that. kid. fer git it now; Don't ever start to learn this trade. You'll surely rue your blunder. | If there was else that I could do 1 I'd quit tonight; a carpenter is nix, my boy, l Go learn to be a plumber" And so I went and found man 1 Who sat close by a leaky pipe l And waited for the whistle, So he could go and get nIs stew,
 And though the water filled the room | He never seemed to worry, | This is the life, says I to me, And whispered my ambition. | The plumber turned and said out 1 loud: Say, guy, dis Is hunky bIznuss. | You'll be a tramp, kid, all yer life | If you take up this calling" | And everywhere I went to learn | And got just nicely started, 1 Someone would take my binders off | And pan the way he earned his l bread. | Until heartsick I went my way | And left them in their yearning l For what they thought they ought to be. It's strange how things get all mixed up; l The carpenter longs for farm, | The plumber for the Senate. | The doctor thinks he ought to be 1 A moving picture actor; l The man who carries up the bod | Would like to be bricklayer. | The man who lays the brick Is sore. | And says his life Is one long bore;
 And If you ask me of my craft. I'll l Say Nix -nix-this is a sorry business.

 And as cough medicine, there is really nothing better to be had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick, lasting relief.

 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "21 ounces of Pinex" with directions and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give ahso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

This fleet of the Mississippi Warrior service is stationed at Tay- lor's Ferry, near the junction of the Mulberry and Locust forks of the Warrior river. The powerboat Scott will maneuver in and out of Lock IT pond. under recently inaugurated system, and will carry upstream barges on the two forks of the river. This will save considerable time, and will obviate towboats that come from Mobile and other lower points going up first one fork of the river and then the other. Officials estimate that between two and three days will be saved on each trip~
 More freight is being handled on the Warrior than ever in its history according to officials. All the craft is being employed full time and at full load. The new system of hand ling traffic at the forks of the river will make possible greater use of present equipment.
 Cordova is the terminal of the Mulberry fork, and is 39 miles dis tant from Taylor's Ferry. Brming- port, the Locust fork terminal Is 19 miles from the ferry, or the head quarters of Scott's fleet.
