WOLMANTZED AND CREOEOTED LUMBER

My Ancestor

By Thomas Milburn Upp

My ancestor lived in a tall, tall tree, In a far away time and place; And the boast was his, as it is with me, That he came of a high-born race. His manners were lofty, as well might be In the station which he adorned, And no advances permitted he From the underworld he scorned. No lowdown matters of common trade, Could ever his thoughts engage, For his family fortune and place were made Ere the paleolithic age.

He looked on the climbers with hostile eye, Was ready with striking snub, And woe to the seeker who ventured nigh His very exclusive club. His family arms were admitted by atl When he held them above his head, And however the tropic rains might fall, His hairs would the torrent shed. The neighbors in all the trees about, Their manners by his would shape, Of high degree or the common rout They would ever his fashions ape.

Not irreligious, that ancient sire Nor even in vices sunk, Nor yielding to worldly or wrong desire; He lived like a pious monk. So high were his virtues, which all might see, His wisdom, which all might know, That a Primate he, could not fail to be, And science records him so. His family lives, and their number grows, And their station shall never fail; But I come from a younger branch than those, Whose estates are bequeathed in tail. And so, when the ducats have all been spent, And the trade bills are up to me, I console myself with my long descent, And my ancient family tree.

No Flowers Please

A man from the East boarded a streetcar in the South. A Southerner got up to offer his seat to a lady. The man from the East beat the lady to the seat. The body was shipped back East.

Today

Let me today do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may I be so favored as to make Of joyis too scanty sum, a little more.

Let me tonight look back across the span, Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say"Because of some good act to beast or manThe world is better that I lived today."

Medicinal

"No. I dit not haf time. I chust put up fife barrels in case uf sickness."

Saving Gas And Oil

A certain automobile owner who read the motor advertisements, installed a new carburetor that was guaranteed to save 20/o in gasoline consumption. Then he installed some special spark plugs that were guaranteed to increase his gasoline mileage 20/s. Then he put in an intake superheater that was also guaranteed to save 2O/s in his gasoline consumption. Then he installed an overdrive that was guaranteed to save 20/o in his gasoline consumption. Finally he drained his crankcase and put in a new oil guaranteed to make the motor run so smoothly it would save 2OVo oL the gasoline use. So now, with a fuel economy guarantee of. l2ffs he has to stop every hundred miles or so and bail out the gas tank to keep it from overflowing.

Impersonations

Caddie Master (to new caddie): "All right, caddie, hop to it and grab that bag. Don't just sit around and look dumb, like you was a member of the club."
