THE PUT.IT-OFFS

Exchange
Have you heard of the town of fawn,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Wait-a-While
flower fair
And the soft Go-Easys grow!
It lies in the valley of What's-the-Use,
In the province of Letter-Slide,
It'sthe home of the listless I-Don't-Carc
Where the Put-It-Offs abide.
The Put-It-Offs smile when asked to
fix up,
And say they will do it tomorrow.
And so they delay from day unto day
Till death cycles up and takes them
away
And their families beg, steal or borrow.

A CURE FOR THE BLUES

"Never try to pet hornet. It's
likely to misunderstood"
Mrs. Noah-"Noah, dear, what can
be the matter with the camel!"
Noah-"Thc poor devil has both the
heas."
Here's a good pointer that comes
from the Illinois Extension Messenger:
IF you think, you cannot worry;
If you worry. you cannot think"
You must confess" said a doctor
to lawyer, shat your profession does
not make angels Of men," "Yes," re-
piled the lawyer, you doctors have the
best of US there"

P. H. 'MORRISSEY DIES
AT GLASGOW HOSPITAL

1t was indeed sad news that came
from Glasgow telling of the death
there last Sunday of P H. Morrissey
of this city. He had been taken to
Glasgow about a week before his
death because there was no room in
tic local hospital. He bad been all
ing sbcut week before he was taken
to q asgow, suffering fr M an attack
of pneumonia.
The remains were brought to Wolf
Point Wednesday and funeral serv-
ices will be conducted Friday after
noon by Rev. A. o. Johnson at Clay
tons undertaking rooms. The body
will be buried in Greenwood ceme-
tetry.
Mr.. Morrissey had no family and
very little is known at this time Of
his relatives or his past life. His age
was 62 years. He came here from
Big Sandy about four years ago and
returned there last summer, it was
to attend to farm in
terests. He filled the position of jan
itor at the Northside school the past
four years and was not only efficient
and accommodating but a kindly
friend of the whole school and neigh
Oorhood. He was a good citizen and
a man who did his part promptly and
to make the community
peter and pleasanter place in which
% live. The school responded to his
blindness and showed their love for
lim by sending him letters during
lis illness at Glasgow.

1.-THE THIRD ALARM"
A POWERFUL DRAMA
Dedicated to Our Good Wolf Point
Fire Department

Critics who have reviewed "The
Third Alarm which will be shown at
the Liberty theatre Thursday and
Friday are almost in agreement that
the scene in which the fire horses are
taken away and the department is
motorized is one of the most hear
touching episodes ever projected upon
the screen. The sight of the beloved
equine pal leaving them forever, trot-
ting down the road, brings tears to
the eyes of the fremen who stand
and watch the horses disappear in the
hazy distance. There are few fire
men, in fact, who have never felt this
thrill-the little squeezing of the
heart that always comes when they
lose their four-footed friends. There
are many other such moments. The
one in which Dan Mcdowell, the vet
eran frefghter portrayed by Ralph
Lewis, is pensioned and goes into
retirement is another heart-wringer,
according to well grounded critics
The hands of Mcdowell have gown
weak and his eyes have become dim
from lashnig winds as he drove to
fires without number. And with the
coming of the motor apparatus Nc
Dowell was unequal to the task of
driving His enforced retirement
quickly followed and his return home
