That almost reached perfection;
The staff produced a Pine Branch
By the process of selection.
I saw a busy office
And a line but not for bread;
Th" business men were scrambling
For ads some months ahead.
And then I saw new issues
Addiessed and in a pile
They were three weeks ahead of time
I And had to wait a while.

POOR GIRL!
Her eyes were red.
Bloody almost.
But they were bold fearless.
She had not been weeping.
Her mouth was a pitiful sight.
One time enticing pretty.
Now horribly discolored.
Poor girl! Courageous as she was.
One could but sympathize.
You see she was just an absent-
minded flapper
Who had eye-pencilled
Her mouth and
Llp-sticked her eyes.

A Hard Battle.
"I saw a man hanging on to a half-
empty keg a while ago about a mile
out to sea. He couldn t swim and
was nearly drowned."
Did you have much trouble in
making the rescue?"
"A little. I had to hit him over
the head with an oar to make him let
go but I finally got the keg aboard."

A liberal crowd enjoyed the per-
formance of Rostand the magician
last Friday night in the auditorium.
He wah formerly on the Orpheum
circuit and is a magician of much
skill. A percentage of the gate le-

SHE DESERVES AN HONOR

Lois Stewart is a smart girl!
One day during the holidays she
wah sitting in her room reading
and her father called from the net
room.
"Ixjis I didnt think people could
make a higher grade than 1(10. Can
they?"
"Well I dont know" she answer-
ed. "But I suppose anybody could
that was real smart."
"Then you must be smart" said
Mr. Stewart. "You made 101 in
Bible and 102 in English."
Once upon a midnight dreary
As he sat and called her dearie
On a sofa made for one but holding
more;
Suddenly theie came a tapping i
As of homeone gently rapping
Rapping at the parlor dooi.
'Tis my father dear she murmuerd
Only he and no one more.
What care he for her relations;
He was full of exclamations.
Such as "Dearie does 'ou love your
dearie more?"
But her father tiled of wailing
Waiting growing aggravating
Opened wide the parloi door.
Oh how well will he rcmenilw
That cold night in bleak Deiember
As he flew out 20 pates from the dour.
And for life will he be branded
Where her fatheis foot had landed
As he shouted "Never more!"

READ THIS TO GRANDMA!
It was the dear old lady's first ride
In a taxi and she watched with grow-
ing alarm the driver continually put-
ting his hand outside the car as a
signal to the traffic following. At last
she became very angry.
"Young man" she said "you look
after the driving and watch where
you are going. I'll tell you when it
starts raining!" Selected.
Something Wronp Somewhere!
Home is naughty without a mother;
Love is zero without a lover;
Church is dull without a preacher;
But class is joy without a teacher.

She (over phone): Can't you come
