Clouds will pass and so will

l7can raise a sickly giggle at a story
of a souse;
When a woman drops a bundle I can
smile;
I can conjure up a cackle at a wom
an and a mouse;
Or at jokelets of the mother-in-law
style.
-My rlslbles are tickled at the rural
type or jest,
For I love to smile a bit at country
folks.
At the jokes on Mr. Taft I've invari
ably laughed
But I will not laugh at "Merry
Widow" jokes.
It a man fall from a ladder I just
have to hold my sides;
Over jokes on Mr. Dryan I can gloat;
I love the merry jokelets on the
cooking of the brides;
And the summer boarder wheezes get
my goat.
On the stolen silk umbrella I just
laugh and laugh;
I'm convulsed at merry quips and
witty pokes.
For most anything at all I am quite
content to fall
But I will not laugh at "Merry
Widow" jokes.

the "Merry Widow" hat came in his

gratitude that it interfered just in

Such Incidents as these may not

Tho problem was solved only when
sho took tho hat off.
On tho other hand, a lire broke
out In a St. Louis church on Sun
day last, and if tho ".Merry Widow"
hats in tho front rows had not con
cealed tho blaze from tho people In
tho back rows there would have been
a panic.
Thcso two cases, which have been
reported by veracious correspond
ents, go to show that wo should not
bo too hasty in coming to a conclu
sion regarding tho ".Merry Widow"
hat. It may bo a nuisance, to be
sure, under certain circumstan v.,
and then, again it may prove, undo.'
other ciicunistances; to bo ono of
the most useful of recent invent ions.
That Is to say we may bo called uu 'i
to read boiucthing like this:
A "Merry Widow" hat came near
causing a run on ono of tho greatest
hanks in yesterday. Just as
rhe wearer, a charming young worn
ill. wns rounding tho hank corner a
crowd of men who were coming ho
other way stopped Intending, no
doubt, to retreat In order to glvo her
tho right of way. Tho sudden stop
ping in front, however, only served,
as It always does In a largo city, to
increase tuo pressure ticiiiutl, ami in
a short time tho crowd extended
across tho btroot and for a block
each way. Then somebody htarted
tho rumor that tho bank was In
trouble, and if tho lire depart niont
had not been called out to quench
tho excitement thero is no tolling
what might havo happened. As boon
as tho young lady in tho "Merry
Widow" hat had ebcapod tho crush
sho wont to a shop window to boo If
tho hat wbb on straight, and finding
that it was, sho tripped away us if
nothing unusual had happened.
Or ll!(o tills:
Today as Daisy Miller, ono of tho
irutttoBt girls In this town, was com
ing down our principal rtrect In u
"Merry Widow" hat two angry men
emerged from u saloon, tho foremost
shouting for help, tho other flourish-

The announcement that tho United
States naval tleet now on a tour of
the world will sail close in to Coos
Hay, has caused many to begin plan
ning to at least to get a sight of the
Lovathans. It has been proposed
that a party bo organized and a largo
sea going vessel chartered to take a
party of Mnrshtleld and North Bend
peoplo out. If tho day is clear, It
will be eas to see the fleet from Capo
Arago and tho new summer home of
L, J. Simpson at Sunset May. If the
whether Is favorable, a trip to see
tho fleet will bo niado a social event
on Coos Hay and will probably con-
ert tho day Into a real holiday.
