greatest popularity in the countries of
South America. Even countries like

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Great Invention.

Great Invention.
A man with a curious CLINT in his eye
Exclaimed, with dismay l am filled
BY hearing wise people so frequently
cry,
Behold how the beans have been
spilled
An inventor am I with wonderful
gift
And by patient endeavor I mean
The gathering gloom that surrounds us
to lift.
I'll invent the non-spillable bean.
We've been told in the song how our
best plans go wrong
Through a blunder that none could
foresee:
And when we were going so swift and
so strong
A careless word shattered our glee.
They'll hold me the greatest inventor
When the world have made quite
serene.
For such a result any toll will seem
small
I'll invent the non-spillable bean"
No Disproportion.
ut sometimes takes a long while to
arrange for taxes"
Nothing disproportionate about that, "
replied Senator Sorghum Observe
how long it sometimes takes to collect
them"
Jud Tunkins says fault-finding would
be more interesting If it hadn't been
going on for so many years that the
world has no new faults to discover.
Relief.
The city gardener said in grief,
There's need for more than farm
relief.
This little spot I cultivate
And for results still vainly wait"

salesman.

nave to face Butler again, running on
an independent dry ticket, particularly
as the Democrats are expected to nomi-

whether the Keystone State is really wet
or dry in sentiment. Both sides claim a
majority of the voters With Butler
running as dry and the wet vote
divided between Davis and the Demo-
cratic nominee, the fighting Marine
might have a chance to win out, just
