Tlifc unwillingness to accompany tho v-c2d as It swings forward in its ojawarrl sweep of progress is partly 3prJdice and partly self interest.

I With the Toast and Tea A Valentine Dream Today being St. Valentines day there was a special meeting called this morning in the Milllcoma Club. Tho attendance was not large but every ono present was required to answer roll call with a poem, either original or selected. Tho secretary's roster showed tho following result at the close o the meeting: The Leap Year ltel'usnl. "Tis very kind, Indeed, of you To offer to become my wife; To say you love me as you do And wish to share my simple life. But do not grieve at what I say, Dear Maud, I really love another; In anger do not go away I will consent to be your brother. I'm sorry, Maud, I really am, That you have learned to love mo so; For me you should not care a darn; For I never meant to be your beau. Your husband, Maud, I cannot be, My heart belongs to another; I'm sorry you have proposed to me, But I can only be your brother. If you should ever want a friend, I trust that you will send for me; On mo you always may depend; I'll come to. you, where'er I be, Suroly there is some better man Who'll gladly take you for his wife; So And him I am sure you can I'll bo your brother all through llfo. GEO. GOODRUM. A daring theft Jack wrought last night On dnrling little Hose. He stole some things he wanted right Beneath her very nose. BILL LAWLEIt. 'Tis hoped that if lair Rose Returned the blissful smack, Jack did not overlook a bit, But turned and kissed her back. CLAUDE NASBURG. That may bo as thoy do the job Down In tho Mnrshfield South But If Jack resided In North Bend He'd kiss her on tho mouth. CHARLIE KEENE. Why rouse again tho bitter strife That two cities bhould wax hot, Lot's all agree to compromise Jack kissed her on tho spot. BERT DIMMICK. "On tho Spot?" what tommy rot! .Tuck rose to tho sublime Almost missed her then ho kissed her In tho good old summer timo. ANSON ROGERS. But why not toll tho talo entire Of Jacky's escapade, Of how dad let the bull dog loose An' tho tracks that Jacky mado. WILL KENNEDY. Hello! O, can you speak tho wrath ho feels, as o'or uio phono his message squeals, And his tired list'nor tho' qulto near, Shrieks, "Shako your phono up, I can't hear! I can not can not hear." LOUIS R. ROBERTSON. "Tiivogtlgntors toll us Tis tha Httlo thlags that kill. You'll Unci no deadly mlorobee On a 11,000 bill. RAY KAUFMAN. Take Another Gaze! Though dreary days may come to you, And make life look all bum to you, And hope of going some to you May seem all past and gone. Remember there are other days, And other plays and other ways, So, cheer up, take another gaze You may see something further on. E. W. KAMERRER. Knock and the world knocks with you, Boost and you boost alone; If you roast good and loud You will find that the crowd Has a hammer as big as your own. THE EDITOR. Get Busy. "It costs to advertise," Some person says. But what of that? This much Is flat; It pays. GEO. GOODRUM. Not Fatal. Shot through the heart was the youth. But there were no tears of sorrow; He lives to tell the tale because Tho wound was made by cupld's arrow. WALTER BUTLER. She Couldn't Do That. Sho bought a device to mix tho bread and one to stir the cako A flreless stove and a coffeo machine and one to broil tho steak. And Into her kitchen so up to date it's a pleasure ludeed to look; But tho family's boarding while she seeks a machinist who can cook. W. R. HAINES. Adam never smoked a cigarette Nor lighted match upon his panta loons. Eve never rode In a gasoline launch Nor whistled the latest rag time tunes. CHARLIE HOWARD. Get off your roost And help Coos Bay boost. WALTER LYON. He called her Lily, Pansy, Rose, And all the other buds of spring. She said: "I can't be all of thoso So you must Lilac everything!" A, II. DERBYSHIRE. An Epitaph. Beneath this stouo a button lies, A trousers button bright; 'Tis all mo found of Miner Green. Who thawed out dynamite. PAT HENNESSY. Llttlo Wlllio at tho table, Just as hard as he was able, Hit his matlior with a platter, And remarked, "That swats tho mat er." A WHISNANT. Their Shyness. They wore both too shy to marry; Now perhaps you'd think that funny; But Loulso grew shy of Harry When sho found him bhv of money. JACK DAVIS. The Lono Fisherman. With bated breath, he played tho lino As tho fish rnu out from shore. i When It got oft, hr pMml the Jug And baited bl brn,fc '"lie more. CHARLIE LEE. I I When I was n lad I served n term As ofllco boy In n. druggist Arm. When any near tho place grew 111 I gave 'em paregoric or a qUlnnlnG pill. McARTIIUR. Tho Reward. Toll on, young mnn, until some day Success has crowned your patient pluck. A few staunch friends will say, "Hoo ray!" But nioro will sigh, "A fool for luck!" ROY MERCER. Poor fellow, you arc threatened with disaster. Sing, hey, the gallant fellow that you are. Tako liver pills nnd wear a poms plaster1 Sing, hey, tho merry doctor and tho tar. FRANKLIN C. BIRCH. Here is a tip to milliners Who get up headgear togs; If women must wear mushroom hats . ... Why not trim them with frogs? JACK SULLIVAN. The Social Moth. There once was a woman named Jen nio Who- bridge-whisked away her last i pennle; When forced to disposo Of her fingers and toes She remarked, "I 'shall uso my An tennle." TOM JAMES. Strange, Isn't Tt? When you call a girl a kitten you seem to hit it pat; So why should you get the mitten When you say she is a cat? But you do. Say that she's "a perfect vision," it will fill her with delight, But there'll be a big collision when you say that she's a sight. Ain't It so? Just call a man a "sly old dog," and he'll ask you In to sup. Whey should it set his wrath agog to say that he's a pup? But It does. JACK FLANAGAN. I've tlnctue of tolu And gum drops for Lulu As sweet a girl as I could find. If trouble should stir up, I've great soothing syrup; 'Tis certain to quiet the mind, I've squills of faco powder, Beef tea and clam chowder, And all that a drug store should sell; I've tooth paste and candy, And things that come handy, In case you're not feeling quite well. Buy of your Cut-'Em-Up Dear Little Cut-'Em-Up Doctors should never bo shy, Buy of your Cut-'Em-Up Come, of your Cut-'Em-Up buy. FRANK PARSONS. Ever Notice It? When you buy a box of applns, Nothing seems at all amiss When the rosy cheeked top layer Stacks up just about like this. ooooooo 0900 But enthusiasm dwindles, And you're glvon awful shocks Whon tho apples stack up this way Through the balance of tho box OOOOOOOOOOO A. P. GOSS. MAUI) MULLKK FKOM TIII3 C1TV Maud Muller on a summer day Set a hen In a brand new way, (Maud, you see, was a city girl, Trying the rural llfo a whirl,) Sho covered a box with tinsel gay, Lined It snugly with new-mown hay, Filled It nicely with eggs, and then Started to look for a likely hen. Out of the flock sho selected one, And then she thought that her work was done. It would have been, but this stubborn hen Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot," and then Maud Muller came and in hurt sur- prise Looked coldly ino the creature's eyes; Then tied its legs to the box. "You bet I know how to muko you e.r.'' But still it stood, and soteu and worse, Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni verse, Kicked over the box wltU ! 1 gay, And ignomluiously flopped jiwny. Then a bad boy over tho barn, .'d fonco Teo-hecd: "Say, Maud, there's t '. ' forenco 'Twoon hen, you know, and 't 1 Ono says 'Ka-doot' au ona 'IJa-.: . And over since that historic da SUe blushes lu an yniliaw.i - i juy To think of the bohblo sh made once when Sho tried to sot a 'geutleuiaR hen. IVY COKOROK. My hals are new and up-to-date Why?
