Just to pal along with you'll >.
That's the thing love to do!
Smile at you across the toast,
Serve the dish you like the most. .
Pour your coffee, piping hot,
Think of all you have forgot.
In the doorway, wave goodbye
When to business you must fly. g.
Just to pal along with you'll
That's an early dream l knew.
Waiting for you at the door
When night brings you home once more.
Going with you to the play,
Dancing happy hours away,
Dreaming by your side at last
When the busy day is past.
Just to pal along with you,
Hand in hand our whole lives through,
Sharing all our little cares,
Happy in our own affairs;
Sleeping when our days are done
Side by side beneath the sun.
Just to pal along, we two,
That's what makes marriage true!

EVENTIDE

The day is past and the toilers cease,
The land grows dim mid the shadows
grey,
And hearts are glad, for the dark brings
peace
At the close of day.
Each weary toiler, with lingering pace
AS he homewards turns, with the long
day done,
Looks to the west with the light on his
face
Of the setting sun.
Yet soAhe see not with their sin-dimmed
eyes)
The promise of rest in the fading light,
But the clouds loom dark in the angry
skies,
AT the fall of night.
And some see only golden sky,
Where the elms their welcoming arms
stretch wide
To the calling rocks, as they homeward
fly
AT the eventide.
1t speaks of peace that comes after strife,
Of the rest He sends to the hearts He
tried,
Of the calm that follows the stormiest
life
Gods eventide.

WHO WROTE IT?

The pitcher takes telling pose,
And holds the ball on high.
Then turns it with his finger tips,
His new in-curve to try.
Then swiftly swings his strong right arm
The vicious deed is done!
The umpire lodges skilfully
And hoarsely shouts: "Ba-ll one."
The pitcher takes his pose again,
Both feet firm on the ground,
Again he holds the ball on high,
And slowly turns it round.
Then once more he uncoils himself,
The batsman to undo.
The ball smacks in the catcher's glove,
The umpire shouts: "Ba-all two"
The pitcher fercely grinds his heel
In desperation grim,
Once more he holds the ball on high,
All eyes are turned on him.
Once more he swiftly lets it drive,
Then fercely slaps his knee
Because the umpire coldly cries
In fog-horn tones: "Ba-all three"
The pitchers face is firm and set
A wild CLEAN in his eye
Shows his determination, as
He holds the ball on high.
He hurls it in-the bat swings round
And meets it with thud,
The ball scars DER the left field fence!
The pitchers name, is "Mudd!"

VARGARIES
Just few vagaries plucked from the
,cerulean atmosphere that enfolds us.


Molly o is not recent release, but it is
the kind of picture that enjoys perennial
popularity. Though based on old situa-
tions, it was not in the least hackneyed.
The role of Molly O is the kind of role
that has made Mabel Normand one of the
most popular screen actresses in the world,
ard it is the kind of a role that no one
but Miss Normand can portray success
fully. The gamin whimsicality, wistful
naivete, and bubbling youthfulness of
Molly o are the qualities that have en-
deared the creator of this delightful char
acter to millions.
While Miss Normand is the outstanding
figure Of the cast, there are others de-
serving of comment Geo. Nichols as
Timothy O'Dair had difficult part and
he handled it most creditably. Few male
actors can make emotional scenes realistic
Jack Mulhall as Doctor Bryant is like
able hero, and, despite the fact that he
was once matinee idol, he portrays his
Part without resorting to over-acting
1t seems that every picture must have
one or two hair-raising stunts in it, per-
haps to hold the attention of jaded pub
lie. This is perfectly legitimate if the
action fits in with the plot, but to insert
it merely for effect really detracts from the
value of the picture. Though the ex-.
change in the air and the ensuing battle
between Doctor Bryant and Fred Man
chester, as persohifed by that plausible
screen villain, Lowell Sherman, could have
been omitted, it was not incongruous. How
ever, we will venture an opinion that the
original script did not call for it.
The story of the troubles of the rich
man and the poor girl, or Vice Versa, is
as old as Cleo's love for Marc, but it gets
over, and that after all, is all that pro-
ducer cares about. We enjoyed Molly 0
immensely, Wore than any picture we have
seen recently. Perhaps we are prejudiced
for Mabel Normand is one of just four
screen actresses that we would walk across
the street, on hot day, to see. In other
words, that's me all over, Mabel. =
We have been requested to launch
formal challenge at the manager of the
M. S. P. ball team, on behalf of the Joe
Magie's of the institution, who think they
can-take the measure of the regulars on
the anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, in other
words, July the Fourth. We hereby
promise to root at least once for the Yam
nigans. We understand that a formid-
able bunch of fence busters are ready to
take the field of honor on moments
notice.
A resident opined that the mud-slinger
that hides behind the initials at the head
of this column is a product of Saltwater,
and that its confines have been his stamp
ing grounds since birth. Nay, brother,
nor are we native of this state. We
hail from the Golden West, where men
are men, the home of championship foot
ball teams, wresters, and pedigreed bull.
And it is with deep regret that our native
heath no longer experiences our tread.

then will we cast our vote for governor

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and chcaply made at home, but It beats them all for
 quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough prepara- tions, by using the wcll-known old recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in "A hours or less.
 Get 21a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasscs. honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly 1t acts. penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lunes-loos- ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup. hoa rseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a special and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract. known the world over for it's healing effect on the membranes.
 Avoid disappointment bv asking vour druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex O.. Ft. Wayne. Ind.
