By BERTON BRALEY
Man is ever easy meat
Fir the truly clever woman,
She can have him at her feet
If she'll treat him with acumen;
What's the secret, what's the charm
Which will very subtly WOO him?
Be he from the town or farm
Listen to him!

Hang upon his spoken word,
Hearken to his conversations;
Act as though you'd never heard
Such a fund of information;
Though with boredom you grow wan
Still with seeming wonder, view
him
As he babies on and on
Listen to him!
Old or young or great or small,
Man is easy prey for stalking,
And he'll nearly always fall
For the dame who keeps Inn talk
ing;
Eve on Adam tried that plan
(0h, how thoroughly she knew himl
And it works on modern man

Is Woodrow Wilson coming
back? Many folks believe that he
is at least to the point of entering
the platform of his party. This
from the Albany Herald is interest
ing in this connection:
Every day in every way Wood
row Wilson seems to be getting
better and better, and politicians in
both political parties are beginning
to show symptoms of uneasiness
over the probability of his becom-
ing active in the 1924 campaign.
The New York Tribune, Old Guard
Republican, for instance, notes
that Democratic leaders are wor-
ried for fear Wilson will attempt
to write the platform" 1t is pos
sible that the Tribune is worried,
too, for it knows that if Wilson
should write the Democratic plat
form it would be a good one and
one that would undoubtedly APP
peal to thousands of good Repubi-
cans.

But ERE I'd been In college long
she seemed too quaint for me.

And as the weeks went drifting

played and spent my money and
! never missed q dance,
TN last I got to thinking I was
throwing up my chance.

fight this age Of strife.
And wrOnged the little girl &C
home I'd asked to be my wife.
But with . year In college had
come to realize
:Twas her that was working Tor,
with lovelight In her eyes.
When I was feeling badly and the
world was going wrong.
A letter from my little girl would
thrill me like q song;
ia hit my pace lots harder, and
whistle. laugh and sing,
And think Of children round the
door and happiness to bring.
Ny college days went swiftly BY
ana homeward was bent
To claim this little girl Of mine,
my prize for toiling spent.
But when I ran to greet her. then
I knew that women lie,
Because I found her married to

EXETER, Mo, May l5-A num- Der of leases in southeastern Mis- souri have been sold in the last few weeks as the result of the discovery of gold, silver, copper and zinc on the farm of c. S. Johnson, near here.
 About a year ago, while drilling Ia well, golden colored rock about ten feet thick, and said to have been rich in copper was found by work men. Beneath this rock, 1t was stat ed, another of a greyish hue was found. Minerologists examined it and found it to contain silver, Johnson pulverized the rock and from sixteen ounces of ore extract ed about an ounce of metal.
 Gold also has been found in the well but, according to Johnson, in insufficient qualities to send 1t a. way to be sheltered. It is planned, however, to construct a large blast furnace and smelter here.
 Johnson has leased the property to a company, and a shaft has been lowered to a depth of 70 feet. As says of the ore are being made by the Government Bureau of Mines.
