SITTIN'ROUND
Sittin' in the mornin'
Under the cocoa tree, Wonderin' if your nutty, Cause you seem to be.
Sittin' round at noon time
Eatin'with your knife, Braggin' bout you're leadin' Lion tamer's life.
Sittin' in the evenin'
Under a pepper tree, Wonderin' if some pep Will ever enter thee.
Livin' in this dreamland
Gazin' at the ground, God won't help you nowhere, Just a sittin' round.
STILL WORSE.
The young lawyer who had just got his license to practice, hung out a shingle over his office door that read: A. SWINDLER, LAWYER.
A neighbor saw the sign and suggested that it would be much better for a beginner to put his entire name on the sign, instead of just the initial.
"I can't do that," replied the young lawyer. "Why not?" asked the neighbor.
"Because my first name is Adam" replied the young lawyer. GOLF
There was a man in our tourn who happened to advance, His left foot very far in front while taking up his stance; And when he found he had a hook, which wasn,t very nice, He put his right foot out in front and got himself a slice.
And then, of course, there was the proud father who told his friends that his Freshman son was getting along grand at college, especially in the languages; he had just received three bills, twenty for Latin, forty for Greek, and a hundred for Scotch.
Japanese Advertising
The Japanese merchants believe in realistic and direct wording in their advertising. Flere are some excerpts from ads in a Japanese newspaper that will give you an idea of how they go at it:
"Our merchandise is forwarded with the rapidity of a bullet."
"Our marvelous paper is as strong as the hide of an elephant."
"You will be received in our store in a stupefying manner. Our employes are as amiable as a father trying to marry off his daughter without a dot. You will be received like a ray of sunshine coming after a horrible day of rain."
"Our vinegar, extra quality, is more bitter than the anger of the most diabolical mother-in-law."
WHITCOMB RILEY'S LIVING PHILOSOPHY
It's nacheral enough I guess, When some gits more and some gits less, For them-uns on the slimmest side, To claim it ain't a fair devide: And I've known some to lay and wait, And git up soon, and sit up late, To ketch some feller they could hate, Fer goin' at a faster rate.
The signs is bad when folks commence, Afindin' fault with Providence, An' balkin' 'cause the earth don't shake At every prancin' step they take. No man is great 'til he can see How less than little he would be If stripped to self; and stark and bare He hung his sign out anywhere.
My doctern is to lay aside Contentions, an' be satisfied. Jest do your bcst, and praise or blame That follers that, count jest the same. I've allus noticed grate success Is mixed with troubles, more or less, And it's the man who does the best That gets more kicks than all the rest.
