. THE DIFFERENCE (When Ma Is Sick)

When, Ma is sick, she pegs away; Shds quiet, though, not much to say; She goes right on a-doin' things, And sometimes laughs, or even sings. She says she don't feel extra well, But then it's just a kind o' spell. She'll be alright tomorrow, sure, A good sleep will be the cu An' Pa he sniffs an'makes

For women folks is An' Ma, she smiles, gladWhen Ma is sicld it

(When Pa Is

When Pa is s scared to death, An' Ma an'us holds our breath; He crawls in bed, an' puffs and grunts, And does all kinds of, crazy stunts.

IIe wants "Doc" Brown, an' mighty quick, For when Pa's ill he's awful sick.

He gasps an' groans, an' sort o' sighs, He talks so queer, an' rolls his eyes, Ma jumps an' runs, an' all of us, An' all the house is in a fuss.

An'peace an' joy is mighty sksslsgWhen Pa is sick it's something fierce.

WHO DAT?

There were two negresses living in the same house, one upstairs and the other down. One evening Diana, who lived upstairs, hearing a noise, said: "\Mho dat?"

Nan, who lived downstairs, said; "Who dat dat say'who dat?"'

Diana, replied: "Who dat dat say 'who dat' when Ah say 'who dat?'"

The Secret Of Lumber Success

A lumberman moved to Kansas City not long ago and deposited $100,000 cash in a local bank. When asked the secret of his financial success, he said:

"I attribute my ability to retire with a $100,000 bank account after thirty years in the sawmill business, to close application to work, the most rigorous rules of economy in business, thorough honesty in dl transactions, everlastingly keeping at my job and always smiling, and to the further fact that an uncle recently died and left me $99,999."

Salesmanship Plus

"Did you ever have any real exciting experienpe?" I asked a traveling salesman.

"About twenty years ago" he replied, "I was ordered out of Wyoming by a notorious two-gun bad man who didn't like the suit of clothes I wore."

"\[fell, I suppose you lost no time in getting away?"

"No, sir. I bought him a couple of drinks and then sold him the suit."

WHICH?

"I won't advertise," said the dealer; "I'm a Chip off the old block, and Dad Didn't Advertise."

Did he say "Block," or "Blockhead?"

The Bigger Boy

By Strickland Gillilan

Father's just another boy that's gone along before you; Just a bigger, wiser boy who knows the road aheadBigger, kinder, stronger boy who always watches o'er you' Pointing out the pitfalls in the stumbly path, you

Father is an older boy who played the games you' Held the same illusions-aye, he made the Knows the short-cut back from where wayward feet are straying-

Listen to that bigger boy, both your sakes !

Father is an older boy, and so5e understands you; Understands and patiently would guide your feet aright. Harken to him now, before the world of men demands youFollow in his steps today; they'll lead you to the light.

Tell me not in mournful numbers that the price of boards is up; that you caq't afrord a hen house or a bedroom for your pup. You indulge in grievous error in comparing coin with THINGS; cost should be compared by angles, never in concentric rings. Cost of eggs today reminds us that we pay four times the yen; last year twenty cents they cost us, now we pay three score and ten; yet a house to hold those chickens and a place for them to lay only costs a trifle over what it cost you yesterday. Let us then be up and building hen house, roost and laying nest and the "cost" can be forgotten for the hens will do the rest.
