Beautiful Notes of the Nightin
gale, for Instance, Are Inspired
by Paternal Love.
It is generally assumed that a
bird sings because he is happy,
but science goes deeper for an ex
planation of the why and where
fore of the bird's song. Nature's
optimistic joy ih constructive pro
gress is expressed in the singing
of the male birds who charm their
wooing, and continue after eggs
are laid to encourage the fulfill
ment of hatching.
The song stops when the little
birds come out of the shell. The
nightingale, for weeks during the
period of nest-building and hatch
ing, charms his mate and human
ears near him with the beautifu
music of his love song. But as
soon as the little nightingales come
from the eggs the song changes to
a sort of guttural croak, implying
anxiety and sense of responsibility.
If the nest and contents were
destroyed the nightingale would at
once resume his beautiful song to
inspire his mate to help him build
another nest and start over again
the loving work of being fruitful
and multiplying.
RIVALS IN MENDACITY.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
When Johnnie was a little boy his father used to say:
"My son, you've simply got to throw that chewing gum away."
But Johnnie merely gripped the cud beneath his mobile jaws
And begged his father earnestly for just "a few more chaws."
And while the gum held out to chew a matter of a week;
Among his white and busy teeth it played at hide and seek.
When Johnnie later on became a railroad president,
He put a lot of things across without the court's consent.
He cut the railroad's service down, he boosted up the fares.
He spent too much upon his friends, and nothing on repairs,
And he continued in his course till he was brought up short
And taken from his office to appear before the court.
But when the court had ordered him to mend his ways,
He asked for time, he asked for grace, he argued for delays,
And then he went back on the job and for a lew years more
He did the same illegal things that he had done before,
Which seems to prove that ever since this sad, old world began
The boy, as the poets say, has been the father of the man.

Dizziness, and a general "no

sign of a torpid liver. The
remedy is Simmons Red Z

It exercises its greatest
restorative effect in the liver,
yet it is effective in the
stomach and bowels. Indi
gestion, constipation and
their attendant evils disap
pear before its powerful,

wholesome purifying proper

I'SE GWINE BACK TO DIXIE.
I'se gwine back to Dixie
No more I'se gwine to wander,
My heart's urned back to Dixie
I can't stay here no longer
1 miss de ole plantation,
My home and my relation;
My heart's turned back to Dixie,
And I must go.
CHORUS.
I'se gwine back to Dixie,
I'se gwine back to Dixie,
I'se gwine where the orange blossoms grow,
For I hear the children calling,
I see their sad tears falling,
My heart's turned back to Dixie, and I must go.
I've hoed in fields of cotton,
I've worked upon the river,
I used to think if I got off,
I'd go back there, no never,
But time has changed the old man,
His head is bending low,
My heart's turned back to Dixie,
And I must go.
I'm traveling back to Dixie
My step is slow and feeble,
1 pray the Lord to help me,
And lead me from all evil,
And should my strength forsake me,
Then, kind friends, come and take me,
My heart's turned back to Dixie,
And I must go.
COST OF LOVING.
Give, oh give me, maiden rare,
Just one lock of your bright hair;
While its golden lengths I hold
I'll recall my vanished gold.
Give, oh give me, maiden wise,
One last glance from your bright eyes;
I'll remember as I gaze
Fleeting joys of other days.
Grant me, maid, where now you stand,
One quick clasp of your white hand,
I'll discern it cost a lot
Once again that ring bought.
Give, me, o my foolish bliss,
One more sweet and coying kiss;
Thus I'll see, in memory's glow,
Candy boxes row on row.
But in all the years to be
Give me back my heart to me,
Give me not the heart you took
With a smile and sidelong look.
Keep my heart that you have got,
Though I know you want it not,
For that I know has proved to me
An expensive luxury,
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
She Is Alraid of a Mouse and Runs
From a Cow, But a Book Agent
Can't Scare Here.
Robert J. Burdette has said, as
only Burdette could have said.that
a woman cannot sharpen a pencil,
and, outside of commercial circles,
she cannot tie a package to make
it look like anything save a crooked
cross-section of a chaos, but land
of miracle! See what she can do
with a pin! 1 believe there are
some women who can pin a glass
knob to a door. She cannot walk
so many miles around a billiard
table with nothing to eat and noth
ing (to speak of) to drink, but she
can walk the floor all night with a
fretful baby, without going sound
to sleep the first half hour. She
can ride five hundred miles with
out going into the smoking car to
rest (and get away from the chil
dren.) She can go to town and do
a wearisome day's shopping and
have a good time with three or
four friends, without drinking a
keg of beer. She can enjoy an
evening's visit without smoking a
half dozen cigars. She can endure
the torturing distraction of a house
full of children all day, while her
husband cuffs them all howling to
bed, before he has been home an
hour. Every day she endures a
dress that would make an athlete
swoon. She will not, and possibly
cannot, walk five hundred miles
around a tanbark tract, in six
days, for five thousand dollars, but
she can walk two hundred miles
in ten hours, up and down the
crowded aisles of a dry goods
store, when there is a reduction
sale on. bhe hath no skill at
fence, and knoweth not how to
spar, but when she javelines
man in the ribs, in a Christmas
crowd, the man's whole family
howls. She is afraid of a mouse,
and runs from a cow, but a book
agent can't scare her. She is the
salt of the church, the pepper of
the choir, the life of the sewing so
ciety and about all there is of a
young ladies' school or nunnery.

your rest, till November, you've
certainly earned; I'll always re
member the coal you have burned.
Rest there in the cellar, oh. fur
nace, and rust, forgetting the feller
you filled with disgust, forgetting
the mountains of coal you required,
forgetting the fountains of oaths
you inspired. You caused my
soul twinges too fierce to relate,
dadbust your old hinges, doggone
your old grate! I toiled like six
dragons to keep you in coal, the
coal dealer's wagons forever did
roll, out here to my place, the
basement to fill; 1 busted my gallus
to square up the bill; for weeks
did I scamper to heat up the flat,
confound your old damper and
cheap thermostat! Oh, rest till the
autumn, down there in your den,
and then your old bottom I'll shake
ud aeain: I'll claw at ihe clinkers
and paw at the slate, and cuss like
the tinkers till then you may

A pretty maid can make a

She can make a sane man

She can turn sinHhine into

She can have a train of young

like a pack of hungry dogs trail
ing a bone.
She can raiue more simon-
