A fellow who has nothing to boast
of but his ancestors is llko a potato.
Tho best thing belonging to him is underground.
Whon Adolphus put his arm around
tho neck of Angelina ho said ho did it
for a neck's press purpose
A good way to find a follow out is to
call at his room when ho isn't in.
Our M1. D.'s aro certainly unreas-
onable aren't thoy? Tho other day
a druggist handed mo a box on which
was written- tho following prescrip-
tion: "Tako ono pill flvo times a
day."
WHAT THE WE8T IS
You say that I am foolishly optimis-
tic but I'll tell you if I was falling
from tho top story of a fifteon story
building ovory window I passed I
would yell: "I'm all rlEht so far!"
Wo tako pleasuro In announcing that
wo havo at last found ono thing that is
freo tho wag of Dam-it's tail.
Thoro's no use arguing against a suc-
coss military training In Old Sim is
becoming a distinct reality and you
might as well conform to tho rules.
To ubo a familiar old Yanked exag-
geration I could tako tho llttlo end of
nothing whittled down to a point
punch out tho pith with a hair and
put in forty thousand such souls as
Bill Kaiser's shako thorn up and bo-
gorra they'd rattle!
Thoro was wit and a lot of true
meaning in tho reply of tho youth who
was contemplating going "across tho
waters : "
"Say Old Man how would you like
to bo burled in a Gorman gravoyard?"
"Hovings tu Bosty! I'd dio first!"
Tho "Boars" insist that it is worth
twico as much for thorn to como to
Abilono aB It Is for us to como to Wa-
co. Wo wondor If thoy consider It nec-
essary to stop oft at somo spring or
mineral well beforo tackling tho Cowboys?
By L. A. HAIITLY
Oh givo mo a homo In tho golden
west
Whoro tho sand-storms sweep o'er
tho pralrlo crest
Vhcro wo'vo rattlesnakes plenty and
vinagaroncs
And tho night birds whlstlo "Casey
Jones."
Where tho coyote's scalps brings fif-
ty cents
And the bull bat sleeps on tho barb
wire fence
Where tho Mexican quail and the
whipporwill
Join In the chorus of "Steamboat
Bill."
Where the white-faced cattle and tho
broncho steed
Go out and nibblo tho loco weed.
And tho farmer subsists on beautiful
scenes
With an occasional feast of rabbit and
beans.
No chills or fever no pellagra or
gout
Wo look lean and hungry but are
healthy and stout.
Can cat with a relish what's thrown
in our Bight
And Bmilo and bo happy because It
rained last night.
CHICKENS
Slightly SnrcnsUc Eh!
'Twaa Harry who tho silonco broke:
"Mlsa Kato why aro you liko a troo?"
"Bocauso becauso I'm board" Bho
spoko.
"Oh no bocauso you'ro woo'd" said ho.
"Why aro you llko a troo!" Bho said;
"I havo a heart?" ho asked so low.
Hor anawor mado tho young man rod

A troo?" Ho couldn't qutto porcolvo
"Troos loavo sometlmos and malco a

And you may also bowand loavo."

Simmons Is noted for many things.
Sho has a basketball team to bo proud
of and tho way tilings havo boon
looking latoly sho has somo track men
that can mako tho "four-forty" in
ton flat.
It 1b a puzzlo in soveral minds as to
who has tho "spoodltjst" mon Toly
Hall or Cowden. Whon it comes to
a show-down both halls havo somo
mon that can trav'ol at a lightning
rato.
Toly Hall not only has a man that
can loavo a Ford In tho dust but also
a FroBhman that can do tho high hur
dles in a noblo fasion. All that la
roquirod is for somo ono to stop out
on a back porch turn on a light and
yoll ''nix with tho chicken business."
If A. & M. Rico Abilono High or
A C. C. has any mon who bollovo
thomsolvos to bo speedy just call 161
and a track moot will bo arranged
with hoayy odds on tho Simmons man.
For furthor information consult tho
"Fish" that hung tho old rod hen on
tho phono wiro with tho A. & M sign
on hor. ? ? ? ?
Hoard ono moon-light night ? ? ? In
a back yard to tho roar of an Inviting
looking chickon house:
"Bot I got a Domlnockor"
"Ah! that's a rooster.'
"She's too old to oat got a trior'
"That's tho hardost placo to got Into
I oyer saw."
"Whon I go again I'm going "by
moeself and Just me."
