Well, wo conclude that "Spring

throwers around this town have,
be^uii their favorite uamc.
Oa Speaking Yonr Mlad.
Let liat'H fe.ir, let cowards shrink
Lot traitors turn a vay.
Whatever we havo dared to tbiuk.
That dare w? alsot>ay.

Dear Jimmy: That's adandy plan
For raisir0' amide heck,
And getting the American
Legion upon your neck!

Aud its results would doubtless
please
James, should a man intend
To live a life of lonely ease
Without a single friend.

Advocate.
We, too would say just what we
think
And fear no man at all;
But we are not a fighting gink?
We are too dawgone small.

Yes. wo too at times realize
We've thoughts we like to express.
Bui because of our limited size
Wo hold the in in like J. D. S.
DREAMS
Sometimes dreams come true,
?ue Tit'tou young woman will
?ouch for that. One night last
week the young woman in question
dreamed that she had received au
argent call to go to the bedside of
her brother in Texas, who was at
the point of death. When ready to
go, sh3 was informed that she
eould not CiO.ss the line into Texas
unless her hair was bobbed, or she
would be killed. She objected
strenuously, but finally, much
against, her wishes, she consented
to have her hair cut That is as
iar as the dream goes.
When she awoke next morning
telle young woman was surprised
to find herself iu bed fully clothed,
even to shoes. Hut the wor3t shock
?ame when she discovered that
ber hair was bobbed, also. She had
gotteu up during the night, dress
ed, gotten a pair of scissors and
?ut her hair. Although opposed to
bobbed hair, the young womau
made the best of it and completed
the job. ?Telegraph.
Well, every woman has an alibi
lor bobbing her hair. But speak
ing of dreams, we're glad that all
dreams don't come true for wo
dreamed lately that we were in
jail.
FIVE TRAGEDIES

A man struck a match to sec if
the gasoline tank in bin automo
bile was empty. It wasn't.
A man patted a strange boll do?
en the head to see if the critter
was affectionate. It wasn't.
A man speeded up to see if he
rould beat the train to the cross

A mati touched a trolley wire to
see if it was charged. It was.
A man cut out bis advertising to

POLLYANNA
COLVUM
You never can
tell how sophisti
cated a girl is by
the cut of her
gown, 1 hat's why
some men are iu
continual hot
water.
T b e fi rst real
harbinger of spring it>
a general loosening up
of buttou? on the old
overcoat.
The moat significant'

B., aud P. D. Q.
An anonymous letter is some
thing wo say to a person's face be
hind his back.
Ever noticc where there is a
piano to move how many fellows
grab the stool!
Speeulations as to how far the
jobholders would stretch, if laid
end to end are futile. They'll
stretch a? far as ttie public's dol
lars will.
"The time will come," shouted
the lecturer, "Wheu women will
get man's wages.'*
'"Yes," shouted a little man in
the back scat, ".Nex! Saturday
night.''
Bill says the fellow ho courts
his girl lor about ten years is
probably waiting lor i er to be
come of age before he marries her.
Self-made men have lots of
power but very little gas.
Another advantage some peo
ple have, says Bill is that they
draw full pay for a holiday.
Spanking the old-fa.shioned boy
may have been wrong, bul it kept
him from thinking his mother a
valet.
A man got up 011 the scales to
weigh, and found he had fallen
off. He got up again
APPAREL HINTS
Claloshes never did look neat.
Hut since the shorter frocks
Came in, they're might hard to
beat
For hiding holes in socks.
President Coolidge's famous
horse evoluted from "pigs."
Onee there was a little girl who
was as pure as the morning dew.
She had never read "Flaraiug
Youth" and didn't know Bill from
Jeannod1 Arc. She had never seen
a problem play and wasn't in love
with Rudolph Valentino She died,
poor girl, aged three.
The height of painlessness is a
splinter in a wooden leg.
Leading up to kissing a girl the
first is a matter of tact; the second
is a matter of act; and the rest of
tho kisses are matter-of-fact. ?
A college* man and his hair are
soon parted in the mid lie.
Another thing we'd like to know
is: Why is it that the best medicine
always tastes worse?
The preacher said damn
And the burgular said heck
When the stove pipe fell down
On the back of his neck.
