SMITH, (.lacksou, Norlliampton county) I A man's conscience is made of i India rubber warranted to stretch ! as long as the fun lasts, j Husbands are like Christmas gifts you can't choose ihem; you've just goi to sit down and ! Vl-'iir until iheo urriv ond llln an- I ' pear perfectly delighted with what I you get. The only people who believe in a personal devil nowadays are the ! ones who are married to thai kind. ; There is something about one ! cocktail that makes a man want an other the moment he has swal lowed it; and there is something about one woman that makes him , want another the moment he has ! married her. The only way to be happy with a husband is to learn to be happy without him most of the time. Strange how joyfully a man will : pay a lawyer $500 for untying the i knot That he begrudged paying a i clergyman $50 for tying. The average man looks on mat j riinony as a hitching post where I he can tie a woman and leave her I until he comes home nights. ! Bridegrooms have that sheepish look because every one of them is I morally certain that he is a lamb j being led to the slaughter, j It's a wise woman that knows how little she knows about her , husband. Nothing bores a man worse than ! the devotion of the girl before the ' last. In a man's opinion a kiss is an end that justifies any means. A wise lover, like a good cook, is one who knows when the fire is out. By Helen Rowland. " LEARN TO BE SHORT.

JIM BLUDSO. BY JOHN HAY. out, Wall, no ! I can't tell whar he lives, Because he don't live, you see; Leastways, he's got out of the habit Of livin' like you and me. Whar have you been for the last three years That you haven't heard folks tell How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks The night of the Prairie Belle? He weren't no saint them engineers Is all pretty much alike One wife in Natchez-Under-the-Hill And another one here, in Pike; A keerless man in his talk was Jim. And an awkward hand in a row. But he never flunked, and he never lied I reckon he never knowed how. And this was all the religion he had To treat his engine well: Never he passed on the river; To mind the pilot's bell; And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire A thousand times he swore He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank Till the last soul got ashore. All boats has their day on the Mississip, And her day came at last The Movastar was a better boat, But the Belle she wouldn't be passed. And so she came tearin' along that night The oldest cratt on the line With a nigger squat on her safety-vale, And her furnace crammed, rosin and pine. The fire burst out as she cleared the bar, And burnt a hole in the night. And as quick as a flash she turned and made For that wilier-bank on the right. There was runnin' and cursin', but Jim yelled Over all the internal roar; "I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank Till the last galoot's ashore." Through the hot, black breath of the burnin' boat Jim Bludso's voice was heard, And they all had trust in his cussedness And knowed he would keep his word. And su.e's you're born, they all got oft' Afore the smokesiacks fell And Bludso's ghost went up alone In the smoke of the Prairie Bell. He weren't no saint but at judgement I run my chance with Jim, 'Longside of some pious gentlemen That wouldn't shook hand with him. He seen his duty a dead-sure thing And went for it thar and then; And Christ ain't a-going to be too hard On a man that died for men. SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY, Some of us never seem to learn To take our troubles as they come, To meet each worry in its turn We look ahead and borrow some. Just when the rose is ruddiest We grieve because it will not sta Our hands upon the thorns are pressed, We make tomorrow of today. Some people that is, you and 1 Hush half the laughter on their lips, Send it a scurrying with a sigh; Or stale the wine another sips, By brooding on some fancied grief That may await us on the way. To his own gladness each plays thief fe makes tomorrow of today. We trade the gold of onj day's joy l-'or dross of doubt and discontent -The fine gold dull we will alloy Of baser metals meanly blent. And yet tomorrow never shows A dawn so dark or noon so gay As drawn by one whose borrowed woes Have made tomorrow of today. 'Tis besi to think each day is made With all the goodness it shall hold, With all the sunshine and the shade, And some small sorrow to enfold, Then wafted from the Master's hand. Where all of the tomorrows stay But still we cannot understand; We make tomorrow of today. Thje more daring a man been on the battlefield the courage he has in sick bed. t .
