Show 1 A Line o' Tvpe or Two I 'Lord, what fools these mortals TrM h 1 By B. L. T. Ohewiag the Hag. (An appendix to tho "Pax" of Aristophanes.) Aris-tophanes.) Just slip 'em a rag From the old green bag. Some document ineaty, Alliance or treaty. And hark to the Jaws As they work without pause. To the champing anil chewing, Tho growling and gnawing, As they grind on the grist Will they never desist? What a slaver and slashing. Palaver and gashing. A gnashing, rehashing. And mashing on by-laws, And Lodge rules and Hl-laws, And clauses and dry laws O Zeus! What's the use? O the poor old dud From the old green hag! It was nipped in the bud; It's a senate's cud; And the Jaws as they thud Never flag. O Zeus and Athena, pray what can we do, While the senate chews on the Pea-ce ragout? PA?.. "The time has come," walruses a labor executive, "when the people of the United States should find out once for all if Its government has the power to inako men work against their will." Answer; A man who works against his will Is of his own opinion still. "The tlmo has come," walruses Senator Sena-tor Myers of Montana, "when we must decide whether the government Is supreme su-preme or a certain class of citizens." Answer; An-swer; Keep your shirt on. May we not walrus, too. that the time has come for co-operation in every branch of human endeavor? It is the only way out. Been Down There, Larry? (From the Savanna Times-Journal.) Our hunters are very much disgusted with the mudhen hunters, who come out from Chicago and make it almost impossible impos-sible for a real hunter to get a shot at a duck, as they keep up an Incessant bombardment bom-bardment on the many mudhens or coots that swarm on the water. The law only allows them to kill fifteen of these birds a day, hut. as it takes about a hundred shots for a. Chicago shooter to get a bird, one can readily see that there Is almost as much shooting as In the battle of the Argonne. On the o. h there is Mr. Krttula of Ftnlayson. Minn., who runs the hotel and the livery stable and does the village draying. He is not worrying about a federal fed-eral statute compelling men to work against their will. The Purist's Primer. "Didn't use to" Is pretty loose, too US. "Different to" Will never do. D. W. B. "Devon. Devon," Ithymes with seven. E. M. O. "Big Crowd Hears Evangelist Bray." State Register. Hee-haw! "How Beautiful Is Youth!" (FYoin the Tv. Neb.. Tribune.) The boys seemod to enjoy themselves Halloween night. While they lipped over a few closets, nothing was damaged. Go to It, boys; while your time ts here, ours has passed. (From the Wilmington Advocate.) The street lights were shut off Hnl-loween Hnl-loween night to make it easier to eaten the boys. It did not work. as ths next morning many of our citizens found their outhouses overturned, etc. For the rtusslsn workers ("work" In the sense of "ferment") "there shines the magnlftcsnt. beautiful form of man without a God. without a master, and frse of authority." We picture this Ideal b!.l as wearing whiskers and a silly smlls. and occupied, during his waking hours. In spilling beans out of a cracked dish. There b Hope Beyond the River. Mv love has rone to the happy land. And oh! this worlds so drear. My love will look round the happy land To see what strenajth Is ths beer. So I'm off 10 buy me a oulja board. To rlne up the stood old dame: For It seems we are all of one accord. Thai Ihe stuff down here Is uime. Kjig-er and tense we shall sit around. With every nerve a-qulver. Frayins; the'svtods may there abound For there's hope beyond the river. R. R. K. Tho Pink of Simplicity. (From the Kterllnn. Kan.. Bulletin.) The whole wedding was marked by a pleasing simplicity. The color scheme was pink and white, and whorever atood taste perrnltted a touch of color wan placed. BoiKtuots of flowers were used in abundance, the predominating flowers being be-ing pink and while tarnations. The sm-bol sm-bol of lovn and happiness, a large kcwplc doll, was dressed In pink and was used to adorn the piano. Take It from an ad.
