What The Editor Says
A man may be engaged to woman ten years,- but he will nev-
er hear that she 'ias duties she owes to her relatives until after h(
has married her.
What do you think of a man who will, at tl.e table, tell th<
Lor J he is thankful for the things before hi.ii, but a? so;>:i us hi
says "Amen" will begin storming about the cooking.
A woman, whose husband died recently, leaving 1 er $2,0JU
life insurance, reported the sad news to her eastern relatives thus-
ly: "Jim died this week. Loss fully covered by insurance."
It is said there is a time in every boy? life w.itn he is at out
19 years old that he needs oue good licking. If he dosen't get i
he will beleive for the rest of his life that he can lick his lather.
An exchange advocates plan whereby yoi-ng ladies attend-
ing church in the evening can register their names in the church
vestibule, so that the young men who are in tho ha jit of lingeriug
around the church door Cin sei. whether or not taeir Kritl if
present and thus set a troubled brain at rest, lhe plan would un-
boubtedly be a great convenience for a certain chss o: yoang im n
anJ would work well in many pla es.

The following verse is printed By request of \V. II. Benton,
re°pectfully dedicated to the man in the thread gill,, who sait
Bryan would carry the United states, in a whoop, and would come
out of Okla. wich a majority of thirty or forty thousand.
YES, BRYAN WILL BE PRESIDENT.
By Dell B. Kill.
When cows and mules ride Bicycles,
And men eat grass and rocks,
When turtles shed th°ir shells and flv,
Aud bull frogs wear silk sox;
When jumbo, roosts upon trees.
And catfish eat ice cream;
Ween snails and green bugs study art,
And rivers run up stream;
%
When hummingbirds bray like donkeys,
And firegogs waj their tails:
When women get to church on tin.e,
And chiggers feed on quails:
When wool grows on hydrolic rams.
And men don't stay out late;
When coyotes lay eggs in sand,
And blacksnakes, walk up straight;
When tadpoles swallow buffaloes,
And eagles hate to soar;
When female lions are tame as hens,
And roosters learn to roar;
When Haskell, ceases to cry liar,
And gold is made of an;
Then BRYAN, will be president,
But never until then.

\lisa Carrie Tbornton anil h «i'
mother were at the theater. They
had bought their seats at the last mo-
ment, but they were good ones. They
were comfortably seated, and the cur-
tain was about to go up, when an
usher and a gentleman came down
the aisle and paused before theui, and
speaking to the daughter the official
said:
"Beg pardon, madam, but you have
this gentleman's seat."
"It can't be. Here is my coupon."
"But he has one also. There has
been some mistake at the box of-
fice."
"Which shall not incommode the
ladles,'' added the gentleman as he
turned away.
Two weeks later Miss Carrie took
the train for a suburban town to visit
a girl friend. She reached the depot
with a few minutes to spare and sat
down In the waiting room. In a way
she realized that she sat down be-
side a man, the room being crowded,
but she paid no sort of attention to
him. When the man with the mega-
phone called out her train she rose in
haste to go to the gates.
"Beg pardon," said a voice at her
elbow, "but I think this belongs to
you."
It was the roan of the theater, and
he held out the shopping bag she had
left on the seat in her haste.
"Thank you," was her curt answer.
"And this," he said, holding out her
silver purse, which had beeii care-
lessly laid down.
This time she only nodded, and he
saw a flash of vexation in her eyes.
Miss Carrie Thornton and her
young lady friend, at the latter'a
home, ht)d revived the ancient game
of croquet and were playing it on the
lawn which ran down to the highway.
In making a vigorous strike at n ball
Miss Carrie's opponent lost her hold
on the mallet and Miss Carrie wai
knocked senseless. /
There was weeping and wailing
and . wringing of hands when an auto
made its appearance and came to a
stop. The gentleman sitting besids
the chauffeur saw that an accldeiS
had happened, and he came to tht
rescue. Miss Carrie was lifted up in
his strong arms and carried into tht
house and was found to be mort
frightened than hurt. She might have
a headache for two or three days and
then be all right. She opened her
eyes just as the gentleman bowed
himself out.
"That man again! That man!" was
her tragic exclamation.
"How did he come here? What
right has he to say that I'm not hurt
much? Oh, I hate him—hate him!"
"Why, dear," said her friend, "that
is Professor Bannister, of our univer-
sity."
"I don't care if he's the professor
of peanut shucks! He knows I don't
like him, and it was a piece of Im-
pudence his coming along here."
After a week, aud after her con-
valescence was complete, her girl I
friend was sent uptown for certain
paints and patterns. They had
planned to decorate the ceiling of the
dining room. Wlh thair down and an
old dress on and a towel tied around
her for an apron, Miss Carrie decided
<o make a commencement during her
chum's absence. The cook brought in
ihe stepladder and stood by to hold
it, and the artist began work. She
had become very much interested
when a voice from the floor beneath
reached her ears:
"1 beg pardon, but you did not hear
my ring? I left a book here the
other day, I think."
That man again! That Professor
Bannister! And he was smiling and
bowing! And Miss Carrie Thornton,
who hated him, was not only a scare-
crow in appearance, but was perched
on a stepladder like a goose roosting
on a fence. She blushed. She stam-
mered. She tried to say something,
and then she Tried to get down. Of
course she fell, but she was not killed
outright. But her feelings were hurt
as he stepped forward and caught her
in his arms and stood her on her feet
and departed with that patronizing
i smile on his face.
When the celling had been finished
and admired It was a long jaunt in
the runabout. Things went well for a
long 15 miles. Then an old cow
| brought a change. She figured that
she could cross the road and bite at
n bunch of grass and get back again
before the machine got along. She
was two seconds out of the correct
calculation, as the profession of
mathematics later informed her.
Down v.cnt the cow, and over went
the runabout, and of course th-e young
d:< -creamed for the police and all
d! '-r departments within or outside
of heating.
A: .1 >t was that man—that Profes-
sor liannisier—that impudent intru-
der who came driving up in his auto
to extend aid and sympathy and say:
"The machine is so badly broken
