Immortality

Immortality is a word that Hope, through the ages, has been whispering to Love.

The miracle of Thought we cannot understand.

The mystery of Life and Death, we cannot comprehend. This chaos called World has never been explained.

The golden bridge of Life from gloom emerges, and on shadow rests.

Beyond this, we do not know. Fate is speechless, Destiny is dumb, and the secr€t of the Future has never yet been told.

We love, we wait, we hope. The more we love, the more we fear.

Upon the tenderest heart the deepest shadows fdl. All paths, whether filled with thorns or flowers, end here.

Here success and failure are the same. The rag of wretchedness and ttre purple robe of Power' all difrerences and distinctions lose in this democracy of Death. Character survives I Goodness lives; Love is immortal.-By Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.

Dangerous Dan Kerchoo

A bunch of the gerxns were hitting it up In the bronchial saloonl

Two bugs on the edge of the larnYx Werc jazzing a ragtime tuneWhile back of the teeth in a solo game Sat dangerous Dan Kerchoo; And watching the pulse was his light of love, The lady that's known as Flu.

FRESH?

The fat lady drove into the filling station.

"Put in two quarts of oil," she said to the attendant.

"What kind,-heavy?" he asked.

"Don't get fresh with me, young man," she said with righteous indignation

Thought It Was A Credick Store

Mose became heir to a few hundred dollars and immediately went down town to a grocery store where he had been trading, and paid an account of long standing, in full. Then he strolled on down the street, went into another grocery and bought a big bill of groceries and paid cash for them.

The first grocer, who had been charging him so long, heard about it and called him to account.

"Mose," he said, "what kind of a nigger are you' anyway? When you are poor and need credit' I let you have the groceries you need to keep your worthless hide together, and then when you get a lot of cash money you go over to my competitor and buy a whale of a lot of groceries for cash."

The darkey's mouth had opened in wonderment.

"Good Lawd, Mistah Jackson," he said in deep earnestness; "Ah nevah knowed you sold groceries fo' cash."

Rumple My Hair

I long for a woman to rumPle mY hairI want her to rumPle mY hair !

I pine for a seat in a fire-place nook'

With a pipe and a drink and a library book; Or a cool, shady spot by the side of the brook Where a woman can rumPle mY hair!

Oh gee ! For a woman to rumple my hairI want her to rumple mY hair !

For I'm bald as an egg, which is why I declare r want her to'"TiIfT,"l""'u.

Limerick

There was an old man from the Soo, Who found a dead mouse in his stew, Said the waiter, "Don't shoutOr wave it about, or the others Will all want one, too."
