FORGET IT
By t a. HALL. Milford

If all were sunshine,
Never no showers,
There could never be springtime,
Never no flowers.
If snow and ice,
Covered all the earth,
There'd be no life,
No laughter nor mirth.
If all were well,
And never felt pain,
There be nothing to tell,
OF health we regain.
If we never met trouble,
In life's mad flight,
Life would be but a bubble,
That burst over night.
If some one has spoke,
To us words unkind,
Let's take it as a joke,
And our own business mind.
For it's not the worlds way,
Since I've been in it,
To always say,
Kind words and mean it.
But since with others,
We must have dealings,
Let's treat them as brothers,
And forget our feelings. II

/. THE DEVILS DOPE

By t. A. HALL, Milford.
If in your neck you get a kink,
Some more whiskey you should
fs drink;
II toothaehe gets You in the heel,
You should drink some more be-
fore each meal.
II you have no appetite,
Just take a slug every night;
If in the morning you feel you'll
81 croak,
Just take a tub full and soak and
soak.
And if your hide begins to crack,
Drink some of it your thirst to
Il slack;
If your skin should start to peel,
Drink some more after each meal.
II that don't satisfy your thirst,
Just keep on drinking till you
burst; i
This formula you understand, l

Is the latest prescription of the
