JUST A MERE MAN.
Poets write of sleeping under the
stars—
Give me a bed;
I’ll do my sleeping under the
stars
After I’m dead.
Or they crave a shack on moun
tains high,
Many nvles from town;
With her they’d live on love,
but I
Want food around.
They’d plunge each morn in a
crystal pool—
That’s not my dish;
Give me a warm shower. I may
be a fool
But I’m no fish. '
They’d smoothly glide o’er moon
lit seas,
And all that stuff;
But what would they do if those
moonlit seas
Got kinda o’rough?
Poets write such stuff—as a
dream it’s tame;
Bring it true if you can!
If I were a poet I might do the
same;
But I’m just a mere man-

“UP IN MABEL'S ROOM”
Funny thing about this picture, but then it’s all fun, two persons in Douglas said to the manager “don’t show
that picture, it was here 3 years ago, nobody wants to see it again,” when as a fact it was made only last
year, and none here ever heard of it’s coming until we advertised it. But if there’s a laugh in your system this
is the picture that’s bound to bring it out. It’s a rib-tickling tempest of giggles, laffs and roars, all over a per
fectly innocent, filmy chemise, a piece of lingerie that gave HIM no peace until it was returned. The happy
hilarious story of the world’s busiest boudoir and the complications caused by a married man in there. SOME

won—aibiding love! . '

Everything she touched made money, and you’ll howl at the stunts she does to grow poor. A bag full of

SICKLY, PEEVISH CHILDREN
Children suffering from intestinal worms
arc cross, restless and unhealthy. There
are other symptoms, however. If the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
eyes, baa breath and takes no interest in
play, it is almost a certainty that worms
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is White’s Cream Vermi
fuge. It is positive destruction to the
worms but harmless to the child. Price
