SMILIN' THRU
BY GEE SEE
LOTUS


rain
Kept cadence with the heart
throb's pace,
And cooling night with velvet
skein
Drew close our intimate embrace.
There blooms no lotus with the
lure
To match the rapture of your
kiss,
When love and night and rain i'm
mure
The intimacy of our bliss.
Love is spirit, never appearing
to profane eyes; passion is but the
burned-out embers of it's fire.
Only the kindred spirit of the
soul can kindle the embers to the
flame of enduring love.
*4s+s+
The sordid soul proclaims with
passion the glowing embers he has
found; he only smothers them with
his lust.
Love is spirit, but he has
keen sense of humor; those who
harken can hear his elfish chuckle
,tyba h, hoe do he, ~
And hearing, if they are humbled,
Love repents and makes amends.
Only thru humility is perfect love
attained.
"PLEAD WITH RESIDENTS TO
TAKE CASH REFUND says a
news heading from Newark. 1t
seems that damages awarded GER
tain taxpayers there for property
taken over for street widening,
amounting to $9,385.13, have been
refused by certain people.
They should be placed on exhi-
bition in museum where freaks
are displayed.
PROSPERITY is CUTTING A
NEW TOOTH" says an advertise
ment of the popular Saturday Even
ing Post.
So that's the trouble! We thought
it was case of lock-jaw!
Some enterprising American ice
cream manufacturer has tried to in
troduce ice cream sodas into Ger
many. Newspapers reporting the
results say, ICE CREAM SODA is
FROST IN GERMANY"
And that's just what it's supposed
to be anywhere. But any fool ought
to know that beer and ice cream
don't mix!
ADVERTISING THE SUCKERS
Dixie" Boatright, of Atlanta, who
is evidently as silly as her picture
looks, is trying to start new
fad with the so-called love Scarf"
Said scarf is fringed silk banker
chief on which are fastened the
photos of the nincompoops she
claims have been in love with her.
*&+***
| But that's not as bad as the fresh
james who are working the names
of their sweeties into their stock
ings.
What's that old saying about
fools names and monkey faces?
A New York business man was
recently hailed into court on the
charge of girl who claims that
when she applied for a position
he Rugged and kissed her. His de-
Tense was that he always tried that
out on them to see if their morals
were good before he hired them.
That's what you call "Old Man
Alibi HIMSELF"
A woman who is engaged to
marry Judge, was recently made to
stand up in Jersey Court when
he entered the room.
It's a safe bet that she won't
practice that sort of courtesy after
she is married.
A SURPRISE
A long freight train recently
amazed observers in Lambertville
when, instead of stopping in the
center of town and completely block
ing both the Bridge and Coryell
streets crossings, as is usually done,
it came to halt just short of the
Coryell st. Bridge.
Axx&As
1t might have been accidental,
but it at least demonstrated that
the thing can be done, and not
imposing on the town by carelessly
blocking the crossings.

A London scientist reports that
male butterflies like their liquor
strong. but the female of the specie
prefers water. He came to this cor
