"When a tapering hand is ia roach of your
own
With a velvety softness about it;
'Do you think you Could drop if without a
single squeeze?
Well, maybe you could, but I doubt it.
When a slender waist is hi reach of your
arm,
With a wonderful plumpness about it,
Do you argue thopomt t-wi'xt tho good and
the harm?
Well, maybe you do, but I doubt it.
When a pair of red lips are Lund up to
your own,
With no one to gross!p about it;
Do you pray tor endurance to let them
alont ?
Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it.
And if by these arts you should captuio
a heart,
With a womanly sweetness about it;
Would you keep it, and guard it, and act
the good part?
Well, maybe you would, but I doubt it.

Not -lung ago Prof. V. S. Short,
| the Jiurgan High tie bool, tasked
pnjii’s in the intermediate class
write compositions, and gave out
subjects like thi-: To the What’
“What I Would and I
wouldn’t Do if I Wore a Girl.” To
the gills, “What 1 Would and What
I wouldn’t Bo if I Wore a Bov.”
Some of the compositions are very
rich, and at times strike the opposite
gender a very liar 3 blow. We arc
sorry that wo were not able to pub¬
lish them ail as about half of the
numb-cf had been misplaced
and could not be found. Following
are the compositions in question;
I would art a gentleman all of my
lib ; I wouldn’t out my capers and
have to go before the council; I
would try to behave iny self: I would
go to school and get a good educa¬
tion, and got a goob job and make
some money and try to live peacea¬
ble all my life; I wouldn’t curse or
use any profane language. I would
keep my hair trimmed and combed
nicely, and keep my face raid hands
clean and try to look decent; I
wouldn’t chew tobacco and spit all
over the floor, nor I wouldn’t smoke
—-I wouldn’t keep any of those bad
habits; [ wouldn’t laugh and talk
when Proffessor turned his back, and
when ho looked around try to make
him think I had been a good boy
and hadn’t done anything wrong.
I would always behave myself and
try to keen on the good side of my
teacher; I would try to be a friend to
everybody and when I went to a
party I wouldn’t sit around in the
corner as if I was afraid to ask any¬
one to be my partner. I would get
mo a partner and go to playing and
have a nice time, and I wouldn’t tell
stories on the girls about begging
the boys to blow the harp for them
to dance and put one to watch for
Proffessor.
BEtiLAii Benton.
I think now if I were a man 1
would try to be a gentleman; I
would bo truthful and honest; I
would not, meddle with other people’s
business; 1 would have business of
my own, and when I was not busy I
would enjoy myself by traveling
and by seeking useful knowledge.
I would commence to act the gentle¬
man when I was a boy. I would
obey my parents and teachers, I
would go to school and try to learn
not only my lessons but learn to be¬
have myself well, especially in pres¬
ence of ladies or girls. I would not
whittle or whistle romp end play in
the house; I would get out doors to
run, jump, whistle and sing. If I
were a boy I would not tease and
pick at the girls. I would not quar¬
rel nor fight other boys. Well I
could te.il a tight smart more if I
were a man but I will have to wait
until I got to be a man first.
Vida May Ragan.
I have often heard people say if I
was in some one else’s place 1 would
do so and so, and wondered at the
time if they really meant it,. Now I
am not a boy or a man, but I am a
girl of fourteen years; I cant kiss my
elbo to save my lire, so I will never
be a boy ora man, and when 1 look
around and size up the boys I can’t
but think I would be different in
many ways. In speaking of my
parents, 1 would not say old woman
and old man; I would bo kind to my
sisters prefering them to other girls,
causing them to always confide and
love me, so you see by doing this
every fellow’s sister would fall in
love with me, and you know that
would be nice; I, as a boy, would
never act biget.y and concertative
you know, for when I grew up I
would not bo a man but a fool; Now
if I was a boy don’t think I would
chew tobacco and spit on the floor,
or smoke cigars, maybe I would
cigarettes, but never drink whisky;
I would leave that for the idiots; If
I was a man I would be a man, not
a half one. Get a bean pole and
dress it up in a good suit of clothes,
and we have a fair sample of the
half men, dont you think so? That
is the kind of man I would not be.
Well it would take me along time to
tell what I would do if I was a man,
or boy, but I am not neither, so I
will close.
Kora Caetledge.
If I were a man I would act as a
man and always behave myself, and
not always be into mischief, as some
lowminded boys are; If I was only
a boy as some people say I would
try to be nice, and I think it' I was
a boy I would study hard and get a
good education, if 1 was not loving
the girls too “Short.” Indeed I
would not tear down well shelters,
and hide tho valuable street lamps,
; ar.d fry to destroy the small city of
ours, but help oni d it up, and
ho into toischief all the time; 1
would always no kind to my sisters
and brothers and not be mean to
them: I would always have water
and wood for my mother, and when
she told me to go up town I would
go and not sav yes mam, in a
itte; I would not st&v in the house
all the time bat be bat doors to be
some help; I would always keep the
best company, If there was to be a'
party in town I would go and be¬
have myself and not sit in the corner;
of the room as if I was dead and I
ready for a coffin; I would not be s 6 :
timid as to make people think I was
ashamed of myself, If they were
playing marching around ’the level I
surely would not run if a girl tried to
kiss me, as if I was afraid some one
would bite me, and 1 never would
say anything that I thought would
tease a girl. As I grew up to be
a man I would never chew tobacco for
that is thrice as bad as snuff, neith¬
er would I drink whisky, no never!
I would keep a mile from it s I have
said some hard things for the boys
to stand, but as I have not said more
than half what I would do if I was
only a man, but I am a little girl
twelve years of age, so bye-bye.
Mamie Tinsley.
I would always do whatever my
parents and teacher told me to d®, I
wouldn’t go off whining and say
•that it was some one else’s time to
sweep the floor; I wouldn’t throw
paper on the floor to m. ko another
sweep it up; I wouldn’t laugh, talk
and whisper across my desk, if I
could not study, I wouldn’t keep any
one else from studying; I wouldn’t
eat, groundpeas and throw the hulls
on the floor, and I wouldn’t be trot¬
ting up and down the aisle to see
who could make the most fuss. 1
would be too much of a lady to let
some of the girls do all the sweeping,
uor would I dip snuff at any time,
especially iu time of b-oks. Well I
haven’t said all that I could say, but
if I say anymore it might make you
mad with me.
John IIagan.
There aht three little things which do

Picking Oat a Husbaiid.
A contemporary gives the following
autice to its fair senders: ‘ For a man’s
birth, look to las linen and finger nails,
and observe the inflection of his voice.
For his taste, study lire color of his tics,
the pattern 1 and hang of his trousers,
his friends, and liis rings, if any. For
his propensities, walk round and look
carefully at the back of his head. A
symmetrical cerrebellnm, with well
!rimmed hair is an indication of self
.
control and euti-gy. If you want a suc¬
cessful man, see that he has a neat foot;
ho will move quicker, get over obstacles
faster than a man who falls over his
own toes and trips up other folks with
’em, too. For his breeding, talk to him
«hen he is starving and ask him to
carry a bandbox down tho public fetreet
when you’ve just bad a row. To test
his temper, tell him his nose is a little
on one side and you don’t like the way
his hair grows. There are other ways
which will suggest themselves naturally
to a bright woman,
A thrill of terror is expotincetl when a
brassy cough ot croup sounds through the
house at night. But the terror soon
changes to lelief after One Mhiiitb Cough
Cure has been administered. Safe and
harmless for children. Mrs. S. T. Clay¬
ton, Morgan. Henry Turner, Edison.
P. E. Boyd, Leitoy.
Only Common Sense.
A Common mistake of local advertisers
is to estimate the value of advertising
space of one newspaper by the amount
asked by some other publication, says the
Leavenworth Times. It is a mistake of
judgement for a business man to estimate
the value of space in a reputable news¬
paper with a good circulation by that of
some other publication which will accept
business at any price and ho pleased to
get it.
Many advertisers fofgct that advertis¬
ing space in a newspaper is valued ac¬
cording to the circulation 6f that news¬
paper. Advertising space in a journal
without circulation is dead at any price
the publisher may demand, without cir¬
culation there can be no results, and
without results the mofle'y which tho ad¬
vertiser invests is lost. Because the busi¬
ness man takes notice of his own an¬
nouncement does not prove by any moans
that his advertising Is paying him. It’s
the other people—the general public—he
wants to roach, and If the medium ho
uses lacks circulation ho will never he 1
able to roach them. This le common
sense iiothiBg more.
