HOW DO YOU STAND
ON
PREPAREDNESS?
Would you have peace and prosperity ? Then pre
pare for it!
Our idea of genuine peace and prosperity is when
your watch begins to run slow or fast — there’s
danger ahead; and the best way to insure peace
to your troubled mind and prosperity to your
bank roll, is to bring that watch to us, and we
will put it in first-class condition. This will keep
you from missing important engagements and
probable loss of money.
And we certainly repair them right.
Sure, we have everythin gyou might wish from
a first-class jewelry store.

THE WAY OF A BANK.
The teller of a bank in a Texas
town was endeavoring to be polite to
a very trying woman at his window.
“I am very sorry to trouble you,
madam,” he aid, ‘but you will have
to be identified." And he pushed the
check across the slab toward her as
he spoke.
“Identified?" repeated the woman.
"What does that mean? Isn’t the
check good?”
The bank man did not smile, for
this was the thirtieth woman who
had asked the question that day-
“I have no doubt it is,” he said;
"but I don’t know you. Do you know
anybody in the bank?”
“Why I am Mrs. Waters!” ex
claimed the lady. “Didn’t you see my
name on the check? See—here it
is."
The 'teller shook his head wearily,
“You must be identified,” he insisted.
“You must bring somebody who
knows you.”
The lady drew herself up. “That
check,” she said with dignity, “was
given me by my husband. There’s
his name on it. Do you know him?”
“I do; but I don’t know you.”
“Then, I’ll show you who I am. My
husband is a tall man with reddish
hair. His face is smooth-shaven. He
has a mole on one cheek, and looks
something like a gorilla, some peo
ple say, but I don’t think so. When
he talks he twists his mouth to one
side, and one of his front teeth is
missing. He wears a number seven
teen collar, a number nine shoe, and
won’t keep his coat buttoned- He’s
the hardest man to get money out
of you ever saw—it took me three
days to get this check.”
The teller waved his hand. “I
guess it’s all right he said. “Put
your name right there—po, on the
back, not the face.”
Robert Mantell tells of a barn
storming company in the West, in
the old days, 'that mad'e a try at
Shakeseare. Considerable comlaint
was heard relative to the efforts of
the man who essayed to do the Ghost
in “Hamlet.”
One day a dramatic man on a local
paper said to the leading man: “That
fellow who plays the Ghost does not
suggest the supernatural.”
“I should say not,” assented the
leading man, “but he does suggest
the naitural super."
AN INVITATION.
“Say, old chap, are you fond of
moving pictures?”
“I should say sol”

- TO ARMS, MY BOY 1
I did not raise my son to be a
"shirker,"
Nor a “slacker” nor a coward nor a
“chump,”
Bu>t to be a fearless man and to do
the best he can
For to help to put the “Kaiser” on
the jump.
No, I did not raise my boy to be a
“dandy”
For to stay at home while others win
the war,
But I want to see him a trifle handy
And not to view the conflict from
afar.
No, I did not raise my boy to be a
“blighter"
And I can not bear the thought that
he would run,
But I want the lad to show he’s a
fighter
And to see him chase the “Kaiser”
with a gun.

OF COURSE!
“Do you think war will ever be
abolished?”
“Think! I know. Why, sir, we
are going to abolish war if it takes
every last man on the face of the
earth.”

the Germans are the best fighters?

didn’t I marry one!
WHAT IT MEANS.
The Freshman class was raw and

Says Lampshade, “What does dogma
mean?”
A bright guy stuck his hand right
up—
“It means a dog that has a pup.”
