THE SMALL BOY TELLS
Copyright. 1922. BY Edsar A. Guest.

They say that the trouble with me is 90
Out to the neighbors and tell all | know;
That when I'm at the table I'm certain to spread.
Whatever is done and whatever is said,
And they shut up like oysters whenever I'm there
but Pa didn't like it when Sis bobbed her hair!
Ma says it's all right and she thinks it looks fine
Bat Pa said 81 vowed that daughter of mine
Should dress like fapper and walk through the streets
To be winked at by every young fellow she meets
He mad as hornet and cross as a bear
And kicked up a rumpus when Sis bobbed her hair
Ma said that she's got to dress just like the girls
And nowadays nobodys wearing long curs
And Aunty spoke up and said "Just wait bit
You'll like it that way when you get used to it."
But Pa banged the table, and said II could swear
At such fool fashion," when Sis bobbed her hair
Ma thinks it looks lovely and sister is glad,
And the servant is sure that it doesn't look bad
But Pas mad about it. He said: Il don't care
thought you'd more than to cut off your hair"
But dont go and tell them that told you so,
Cause they say that tell everything know

chickens belonging to Joseph Rosen-
thai, a next door neighbor. The first
hearing in the cas- was last Wednes-
day morning but Recorder Pickers-
gill did not deem the evidence suf-
ficient and adjourned the case until
this morning. At today's hearing the
plaintiffs had a witness who corrob-
grated the testimony of last week.
1t is charged that Pankro at fiSst
threatened to kill Rosenthal's chick
ems and later carried out his threat
by scattering cyanide in the chicken
yard at night. Mrs. Rosenthal testi-
fled to seeing a man she is sure was
Pankro cross her yard and throw a
white substance among the chickens.
The next day several chickens were
found dead, she said.
