The cornerstone laying had been a
brilliant success. The weather was
fine, the speeches eloquent, the music
impressive. The master of ceremonies
was very we'll satisfied with himself,
yet when the crowd was dispensing he
became strangely excited Hurriedly
he sought the master mason.
"Is it possible to lift the cornerstone
again?" he asked.
II am afraid not, sir" said the
mason. "Have you any particular
reason for asking?"
IT have" said the master of cere-
monies. "I've left my hat in the re-
ceptacle along with the records"

the thoughts which Immediately arise
concern the causes for such state of
affairs and the question of what the
future holds.
The immediate danger center, from
the viewpoint of the drys. is the fact
that the civil service commission will
not be able to put the prohibition en-
forcement service on a new and sound
basis until congress- in its wisdom and
in it's own good time, appropriates the
money for reorganization in its next
session.

Baby o. Mine


The baby is teething.
My wife and I took long automo-
bile trip.
And the baby was fretful and hung
on my wife
And I pitied my wife
And got sore with the baby
And my wife got sore with me
For getting sore with the baby,
And when we retired that night
T was sore with my wife, and the
baby, and the flivver.
And we were all sore and we tried
to Sleep.
The baby slept first
And while she slept she chuckled
out loud
And I looked at her and saw sweet
smile on her baby lips
And from across the crib my wife
looked and saw the baby smile
And we looked at each other
And our eyes got wet. We were both
sorry.
Then with remorse in our hearts we
both kissed the baby
And the baby awoke and howled
until three A. M.
and my wife has hardly spoken
to me for the last two days.

Mashonaland anG Yucatan,
Cashmir and the ITlnGu Kush,
Are places that 1 should surely go
To escape the tourist rush.
The Friendly Isles and Tonga land,
Bagdad and the River Plate,
Cockburn Land and the Rio Grande,
Gaboon and the Golden Gate.
The Orkney Isles and Lockerbie street,
Peshawur and Mozambique,
While Far Cathay and the Hudson
Bay
I'd view from the mizzen peak.
Grundelwald and Brandenburg,
Savanna and Ootacamund
Connemara and London Town,
Bombay and the Shanghai Bund.
Zanzibar and the Chilkoot Pass,
Glengarry and Broken Hill,
The BallyShannon and County Clare,
Na1 nd Inv
I'd stop in Lapland-it sounds to me
Like a. friendly sort of a place.;
I'd study the moon with Lorna Doone--
Dining at Chevy Chase.
Majorca, Malacca, and Malvern Hill.
Manila and Fuji San,
The County Tyrone and the Arctic
Z Carnarvon, and Turkestan.
The Isle of Pines and the Dardna-i
nelles,
Kowloon and the Caspian Sea,
Cawnpore, Cracow. and the Khyber
Pass,
Crimea and Kimberley.
We'd follow the tide on the Hong
kong-side-
I'd go out on the Bubbling Well
Road;
I'd go chop-chop to curio shop,
Which know in the Queens High
Road.
I'd look at the glass in Limoon Pass,
And if the weather is fine,
Wen steer for Delhi and Bonnie Dundee
BY way of the River Rhine.
Delagoa, Samoa, and Shenandoah,
Are names that please the ear;
Victoria Nyanza strikes my fancy,
And so does Monastir.
Ping Yang, Hankow, and Hyderabad.
Lucknow and the Fair Touraine;
The Caribbean and Far Kashgar.
Are places I'd visit again.
Wind River, the Tana, the Yangtse
Kang,
And the Plains of Abraham;
Siberia, India, Amazon, Dude,
Benares and Bethlehem.
Antilles, Azores, Loeb Lomond, and
Rome,
Indiana and Tennessee,
The River Rhone and the Frigid Zone
Are spots that appeal to me.
I'd finish the cruise at Newport News,
I'd wish no longer to roam,
I'd settle down for couple of weeks
Contentedly at home.

Would benefit any man, Y

Y SIT at my desk in the sizzling heat
OF blistering summer day,
And think of the places I'd like to go
If l only could get away.
1t might take more than couple OF
weeks
For such an extensive tour,
For some of the places are far away
And connections might be poor.
I'd leave a call for seven o'clock;
Ia sleep with my clothing on;
I'd do my packing the night before,
And start in the cool of the dawn.
I'd then go aboard OF a clipper ship
Engaged in the China trade.
And we'd clear the bar by the morn
ing star,
AS soon as the anchors weighed.
I'd tell the skipper the course to set.
He'd pipe all hands aloft,
And away we'd go for Borneo,
Lunching at Tranby Croft.
Perhaps I'd dock at the Inchcape
Rock
Perhaps at the Farallones-
We'd raise I4uzon in the nsy dawn,
While the lazy trade wind drones.
I'd dance to the tune of the rigadoon,
And if the canvas fills,
We'd eat our tiffin at Annandale,
In the shade of the Simla hills.
The Persian Gardens at Ispahan,
The Reef of Norman's Woe,
Sierra Leone, and San Antoine
Are places where l would go.
I'd steer canoe in the Great Karroo,
And rollick in Bantry Bay;
BY the golden moon, from old Ran
COON,
I'd journey to Mandalay.
And Malabar Hill is not too far,
If you go by the Andaman Isles;
I'd sniff the breeze in the Celebes,
Where the Indian Ocean smiles.
Van Diemen's Land and Samarcand,
st. Albans and Singapore
1ou may easily reach on RockaWay
. Beach
From Bingen to Bangalore.
For it's always fair off Finisterre,
On the way to the Barbadoes;
And it's not too far to Kandahar,.
If a steady monsoon blows.
Through creamy seas and sparkling
skies
I'd follow the Spanish Main;
I'd touch Stamboul and Stanley Pool,
If it didn't begin to rain.
s It's never too late to pull your freight
For Rio and Argentine;
With fav'ring breeze off the Hebr1des'
You can dock at the Engadine.
The Barbery coast like the most'
But the Ivory coast is fine;
I'd shed my cares in the Aberdares
And dine on the Brandywine.
We'd heave the lead at Diamond Head
And If the holdings good,
Wed visit the shore "to look them
o'er,"
AS all good sailors should.
Wed drop the hook in the Zuyder zee'
Wed touch at the Cameroons,
we'd drink toast on the Congo
coast

All About Blankets

Cant they make blankets any

feet peeping from too short blankets.
This chorus has swelled to such
volume that the matter has finally
been taken up with a big blanket
manufacturer with the result that
blankets are now made in sizes large
enough for any bed and can be
had BY asking for specific measure.
ments.
These are the approved dimensions
for good, generous size blankets:
For single beds. 60xs0 or 60xs4.
For three-quarter beds, 66xs0 or
66xS4.
For double beds. 70xS0 or 72xs4.
Double-length blankets are diff.
cult to wash and many women cut
them In two, bind the edges and
convert them into two single
blankets. This trouble can be
avoided by buying two single blank
cts in the first place.
