the women of the Baptist church
at Mrs. Kennedy's Thursday
evening was a unique affair and
a success both financially and
socially. Each member of the
church society had earned dol
lar to be brought into the treasury
at this meeting and accompany-
msr eacn uuuar was a uuexn
explaining the way in which the
monev bad been made. ' Miss
'Lucy Monday was asked to read
all the rhymes and the judges
who-were the Rev. Mr. Yandal,
Mr. Hester and Miss. LeCompte,
awarded the prize for the best
to the reader herself. 1 Requests
were made for. several of the
poems which appear herewith.
Various and unusual were the
methods adopted by the different
ladies, one of them having won
a bet on the recent big ball game,
one athlefic young woman's
jingle told of doing a gymnastic
stunt on a wager and others
earning their dollar in ways more
common to womankind.
"J TEACHING SCHOOL
"How did I make this money ?"
Listen, Til tell you honey.
Rising early,, working late;
Writing words on board and
slate; " ' '
Teaching Latin, History too,
Which may seem like play to
you,
Giving tests, grading papers,
Seeing students ' 'Cut n o
Capers"
All this and very much more
To tell which could, prove a bore
I trust you'll think 'tis 1 well
earned v
If not, it may be returned.
TYPING
A dollar and a vers'e before
Thursday night!
The very thought of them gave
me a fright.
But I sat me down with a groan
and a frown "I
And on my type writer began to
pound
The keys came tapping at my
urgent call
And I found it not so difficult
after all,
For soon V whole dollar I had
' made,
hich I gladly give to the Ladies
Aid.
EMPLOYMENT IS ENJOYMENT
I nurse my baby dear myself,
A maid I won't employ,
I make a dollar clear myself ;
For something I enjoy.
WORKING OVERTIME
We set the pace, in any race,
When it comes to making money
And tailor them for Sonny.
FOR THE LADIES' AID.
If you think I am witty and
wiser
I'll let you in on a little surprise,
But hold your breath -before I do
For.it won't take long until I am
through.
I must have a dollar for the
"Ladies Aid";
And it has to be one I have hon
estly made.
I've worked and toiled but all m
vain,' .; ::';;" '
So at last says I, "never again."
But wait, upon a little plan I've
hit
Whereby I can surely do my bit,
I'll sell my skirt at the bid pawn
shop,'-; ' j . . .
And bring that dollar before? I
stop. k I

Don't you think it's downright
pathetic .x !.

My gym. suit fits fine !,

And when I was offered a dollar
bill ;
To see me do this, and see me do
that, I
I answered up "You bet I will,"
And I just naturally "Skinned

YOU BETTER BET .

About the great Ball Game;
But I won my bet,
And so you'll get
