B , WILLIAM F. KIRK.
HAVE rote a song, wife, sed Pa,
T .... 1 think you wud like to hear.
1 wud like to hear it all rite if
~111 let Bobbie sing it. sed Ma.
[7m afrade that you wuddent be abel
t/dv so fine a song justice.
w-t >ed Pa, then Bobbie can sing
u [ knew that he wanted to sing ft
but what Ma sed about it bee
■' fine song made him feel kind of
"A u’ter all. So Pa handed me the
r °"L. 2. 1 sang it the best I cud for
t 7" kind of song it was. This was the
nalrn of the song:
N |X NIX, NIX ON POLYTICKS.
The drawing room was crowded in a
city far away,
It was a politishun’s hoam, so bril
yunt and so gay.
Hi wife was cooking dinner wen a
guest cairn through the door
sed Do you think William Taft will
get jest one term inoar?
ght . hit him with a turnip on his bald
and shiny pate
sumthing like the following was the
word that she did state:
Chorus:
Six. Nix, Nix on Polyticks.
in til'd of Teddy Roosevelt & his
iittel Bull Moose tricks.
I wuddent '-are if Taft grew Daft &
Wilson crossed the Styx.
\i\ Nix, Nix on Polyticks.
Well, -ed Pa, what do you think of
that for a song?
I- dident seem to impi< ss me favor
<ed Ma. It is not true, not true
t „ iif<- & not true to wimmen, sed Ma.
bid you ewer see me, for instens,
throwing a turnip at a man’s bald
hed? hi the first place, I never cooked
a turnip & wuddent have one in my
hand. & in the second ptace I cuddent
throw strate enuff to hit anybody in
the lied unless I aimed at his feet.
p.i got kind of mad . tjien. Wife,
deer, sed Pa. is thare anything that
I ewer did that you liked? 1 was
almost sure that this one time you
vial Ilk" tills song. I spent a lot. of
time on it. 1 thought the chorus was
kind of catchy.
You poor old boy, sed Ma; 1 dident
think that you was going to cry so
hard, or anything like that. If it will
malk you feel any bi tter to tell you
that I think the song is good. I w ill
saj that the song is good. I only
thought that you wanted my real opin
yun. Mn sod. *
You know as well as I do that poly
tlcks is everything rite now. .<• that it
is always a important part’of American
life. Why doant you rite a song about
the moonlite on the lake, or sumthing
of that kind. Everybody knows that
thare is moonlite on the lake when
thare is a lake & a nite that the moon
is out.
I guess you better lay off on song
writing, sed Ma. & try suintbing else.
I was reading the other day about a
man that got ten thousand dollars tor
curing a horse that beelonged to a
rich man. Why doant you try beeing a
veterinary surgeon insted of a poet.
Beeing a what? sed Pa.
Oh, anything, sed Ma. Try beeing a
shipping clerk. But doant be a song
riter.
So then Pa toar up his song as eesy
as he used to tear up Broadway.
LIQUID MEASURE.
- the time of the singing lesson
isie local council school, and the
faeher was explaining to the young
upefuls that if a “treble,” an “alto,’' a
tenu; an,; a “bass’ sang together,
ir united effo ts would constitute a
•uurtet.
wre .eemeu no trouble about that,
r i the teacher thought the class was
etting on very nicely.
No- , Jimmy, leave off pinching your
' s leg and listen to me," said she.
1 ■ bass and a tenor sang together,
■iat would you call that?”
Jimmy was the son of the local milk
■■'•m. and a bright lad withal. His an-
'' was not long in coming.
I’lMse, miss,- said he, “that would

Pretty Lady reading from a fashion bcok trying to get a little brain picture of what she's going to have to wear THIS winter. . . “It is hard to say just WHAT Milady will wear—
but we know it will be quite simple! There will he no plain skirts—no plaited skirts—no full skirts—and no tight skirts. You see? There will be pepiums.igodets, tunics and panniers. And
PLASTRONS? Ah! ah! Sleeves are—hesitant. The waist line is a —blur. You will be, Milady, quite safe, if you get yours either under your arms or below your knees. There will be fur
everywhere it can get aboard. Lace as deep as possible at throat and sleeves —probably touching Milady's dimpled knees before the spring. As far as lace goes—look just as much like a baby’s
bassinet as possible. If she will picture in her mind this charming winter mode Milady will see how inexpensive—and how quite, quite SIMPLE it is.” Up against it, as usual!

Running In New York.
(Copyright, 1912, by George M. Cohan.)
TODAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Mrs. Gerard exclaimed at this and
Broadway hastened to add:
"I mean she said 'yes'—Beatrice said
'yes.' ”
Wallace looked from one to another,
more mystified than ever, when the tit
tering voice of the woman broke in:
"We're going to spend our hone.'moon
in Spain.”
"Yes. dear, sunny Spain," rhapsodized
Broadway. "I'm going out this afternoon
to buy a sombrero and a pair of casta
nets” —he took a few dance steps and
hummed an air from “Carmen.”
"Well, aren't you going to congratulate
me?”
"Now, see here, Jackson, if you’re fool
ing me, 1 want to know,” returned Wal
lace roughly.
Mrs. Gerard shook from head to foot in
senile anger.
dThere he goes again. Jackson, ” she
snapped. "I’m not going to stay here and
be Insulted in such a manner -I—”
Broadway interposed. He assured Mrs.
Gerard that in a few moments alone with
Wallace he could convince him that there
was no joke. They didn't want Wallace
to repeat to all their friends in town that
the engagement was a farce. If she would
go out in her car for a half hour and
return everything would be smoothed
away.
She consented.
"Bye-bye. dearie," she lisped.
"Au revolt, sweetheart,” returned
Broadway, affectionately.
"Don't listen to that bad. naughty man,
dearie."
"No, him won't, little Beatrice. Him
make bad man listen to him."
She kissed him fondly.
With "Oh, you dear boy," ano with
one glance of scorn and fury for Wallace,
she was gone.
"BROADWAY'S" SECRET.
In considerable more bewilderment than
anger, Wallace sat in his chair, staring
before him for a moment after the widow
Gerard had left. Jackson walked slowly
to his friend's chair, laid one hand quietly
on its back and then looked at Wallace
intently.
"Say, are you going crazy!" roared
IS allace.
Broadway ignored the query.
"Now. in the first place.' he com
menced deliberately. "I want you to
thoroughly understand that I'm positive
ly serious about the whole affair and
that nothing tha t you can say will change
my plane."
"Well!”
"Mrs. Gerard and I are going to be mar
ried and it s going to happen very short
ly. So whether you like the Idea or not. if
you care to retain my friendship, you
must get used to it the same as I have
to do."
“I'm listening'
Broadway sighed
"1 know several girls,' he went on,
"who will cry very bitterly, and a lot
of fellows who wdll laugh very heartily,
but the fact remains that the lady you
just saw leave the room « Io become
Mrs Jackson Jones, so once and for 411
get it out of your hew 1 that it'« a Joke."
"Do you realize what people will say
and think?”
Jatkson brought his ist down into
the palm of his band, .-’a d he:
"I’ve thrashed It out with myself trom
every angle I know what ii:-y'll
and I know *ia' that'll think.'
’ Well «ji , w t|) thin’
“The natural thobght will he that I’m
marrying her for her money.”
His friend laughed shortly.
"They know better than that. Every
body's aware of the fact that you’ve
got all the money you need."
It was Broadway’s turn to laugh.
"I to you think so?” he asked.
Rankin entered with a telegram which
Jones absently put in his pocket as he
Informed the retiring butler that he didn’t
wish to be disturbed for a few moments.
Then, when they were again alone, he
paced back and forth for a moment.
Turning sharply he said:
"Bob, I'm going to le. you in on a
little, secret- my secret. No one else in
the world know.-. I wouldn’t tell you if it
weren’t for the fact that we've been so
close and such good pals for the last
few years, but remember it's Masonic."
"Certainly.”
"I'm broke," said Broadway, all pre
tense at happiness gone from his face.
"You're what?”
"Broke—dead broke."
' "Say, is this another of" your jokes?
You’re rich in them today."
"It’s no joke to be broke, Bob; but it's
even worse than that with me. Bob; I’m
in debt.”
, "What!"
"I owe about fifiy thousand dollars."
“Well, what have you done w Ith all
of your money?”
• "Put it back in circulation, where it
came ffom.”
WHERE IT WENT.
“Wall street?" suggested Wallace.
“No, Broadway.”
"Investments gone wrong?”
"I never invested any. All 1 ever did
was to spend it.”
Wallace's jaw dropped. Truly this was
a day of surprises to him.
"But you couldn't spend the money you
had,” he said, as though his business
like mind filtered the idea of the Impos
sibility of expending legitimately more
than a fixed sum.
Broadway smiled. His tone was al
most sprightly as he answered:
"I didn't have any trouble in getting
rid of it. Everybody seemed very glad
to get it. and also 1 owe tailor bills, flower
bills, restaurant bills, jewelry bills, boot
bills I've got a flock of bills in my desk
that would make Rockefeller coinplain
e bout the high cost of living and 1 . an’t
pay them because I’m broke."
"Why. you always gave me to ,’..:er
stand that you were a millionaire? ex
claimed Bob.
Jackson grinned sheeuishlj.
"Well, I lied a little," aid he. 'At that
I dare say I could have been worth a
million by now If I'd bad any business

was worth $250,000. My father died and
left me that when I was ten years old.
I didn't come Into it until I was twenty
one—about $75,000 In cash, some real es
tate and a half interest in a chewing gum
factory. The first thing 1 did was to get
rid of the real estate and sell out my in
terest in the gum factory. I wanted
cash. Hadn't any use for anything else.
My father’s partner, his brother (my
uncle, old Andrew Jones), bought me out
and cheated me. too. A measly hundred
thousand, that's all 1 got. Since then I
understand he's made a dozen fortunes
with the darned old gum. I hear the
Gum Trust offered him a million dollars
for the plant last year. You've often
heard me speak of the gum.”
“Yes, Jones’ pepsin.”
"That’s right, Jones’ pepsin made in
Jonesville. Town named after my grand
father. He was in the gum business be
fore his two sons. It's the oldest gum on
the market. Ever "hew it?”
"No.”
"Well, don't. It's awful."
Wallace hitched his chair closer to ,
Jackson, greatly interested.
"Go on.” he said.

"I couldn't wait to get hold of the money j

sixteen years old to the day I left that
town everybody In Jonesville called me
Broadway. Just because I wore patent
leather shoes and put on a clean collar
every day."
“ 'Broadway' Jones,” repeated Bob,
musingly
"Yep, ‘Broadway Jones,' ” returned the 1
wearer of that appellation, with the hu- j
mor that lies very near to tears. "Ob.

The two young men sat in silence
for a time. Wallace was trying to find
some way out for Broadway, and the
latter was immersed in mournful reflec
tions. Yet such is the strange mixture
of pride and regret in the career ami
temperament of the average spendthrift
that Broadway could not have been said
to be entirely unhappy. He broke the si
lence with a laugh.
"When 1 go into a restaurant, the
waiters come to blows to see who’ll get
me. If I go tn to get shaved, you *
think some one had yelled ‘Fire’.’ the
way the barbers dash for the chairs. Oh,
I’ve been the bright-eyed »aby boy
around this town, all right. It’s cost me
a Quarter of a million, but I’ve had a won
derful time."
"How long have, you been broke'.”’ asked
Wallace.
"About six months. My credit carried
me on. You know when I first went
broke 1 made up my mind that I wouldn’t
run into debt, no matter what happened.
I put on an old suit of clothes that morn
ing and started out looking for a Job.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
Daysey mayme appleton
looks so artificial from the
crown of her golden head to the
tips of her high-heeled shoes she gives
the impression that if some one punch
ed her in the belt she would squeak
“Ma-ma,” just like a French doll.
She wears a collar so high in the
back and so low in the front it looks as
If her halo had slipped down, and she
waves her hands when she talks just,
like a switchman.
At first glance one might think Day
sey Mayme superficial. But she is not
—she is temperamental!
As a child she didn’t keep up with
the class in the public school, and her
mother sent her to a private school.
' The teacher," explained her mother,
"didn’t understand her. She is SO tem
peramental.”
The word explains so many things!
Ail mothers of backward children use it.
IV hen an attempt was made to teach
«ms. to co s' k ’ ® he served over-done steak

and thought her father lacked the fire
ot Imagery because he looked at th"
steak Instead of the flower.
She plays the low tones on the piano
very- low, and pounds for the loud ones,
and her friends encourage her by say
ing she plays with expression.

time to read descriptions of sunsets ”
On one occasion Daysey Mayme was
left to take care of a young babv, and
when its mother returned she found the
baby almost drowned and floating off
hi Daysfj- Maj-me’s tears.
“I got to thinking," she said, between
sobs of the many weary steps that,
await those poor little feet before thei"
journey through life is ended—’’ but her
sobs choked her, and she could say no
more.
She wil] gaze at a flower and sigh
and look out Into the dark with a. yearn
ing look in her eyes. AU her life she
has indulged tn this poetic sorrow when
other girls of less sensitive organiza
tions have studied and scrubbed
. "I feel,” she said, "just like a mourn
ing dove sounds.”
And that is what it means to be tem
peramental.
