Your good will, and tnomborahlp In tho Booster Club TWO VI I0W8 OF" IT No. 1 (During Heccut Snowstorm) ' What about all this booster bunk?' Tho ncwcoinor complained. "They told mo that In winter here, It aoftly, gently rained. No winter blasta In Oregon No chilling Ico or snow; In breezes mild and tropical December roses blow; Tho graceful palniB "their branches wave j They thrlvo and flourish horo; And when tho Eastern trees aro baro, Hero daffodils appear. Tho cattlo grnzo upon tho hills, Thoro finding all thoy need; It costs Coos farmers nothing To lay In winter feed. Wo need no artificial heat, That's how tho booklet read. By JliiBi 1'vo beon horo weeks and not Boon warm, oxcopt In bod. It mnkes mo soro to think that I Loft good old Iowny And didn't bring my overcoat; I'm darned if I will stay. Ton above freezing's coldor horo Thnn forty throo bolow Tho zero mark whero I tamo from, And goo look nt tho snow. It's cold, and wot, and white nnd drear; Pcoplo all got tho grlppo; I wish I had the money back I squandered on this trip." Just then a snowball clovo tho nlr And Hinashcd him on tho dome. Ho scowled, turned red, Thon grinned, and snld: "Hy Gcorgo, THAT FEELS LIKE HOME! I ran away from Iowa To dodgo tho winter's curso, And ir this ain't Just what I'd llko Out here, It might bo worse. I'll givo tho thing another whirl; It nln't so bad, by jlng, And ovorybody tolls mo that Its lovoly In tho spring." Ads Wo Do Not Sec. "No Trou ble to show goods. It costs you nothing to look over our line." Hob Marsden. (Noble Theater.) SMILE-A-WHILE Avo Mention No Names. Sonio men hnve lost their poBltlotiB with tho chaugo in the city Administration and others lost their dispositions from tho snmo cause. SM I LE-A-Wl 1 1 LIC Sonio of tho advertising Is very lu cid, this of a nursing bottle frln- Btnnco which snys "When tho bnby In thru w.th .tho bottlo It should bo i taken apnrt, washed thoroly and laid aside In n cool place." SMI LK-A-WHI LE Applo Cider Is becoming prom Inont as an offender against tho new prohibition law. Of courao it's too late now, but wo tried for years to get hold of soma real el der, and didn't think thoro was any made nowadays that had enough npplo juice in it over to furnish oven a tnsto, let alone a "kick" and wo kind o' wish we had known such elder could bo obtained in Coos County. SMILE-A-WHILE Experience Required. Hny Knuf mny Is auditing tho City Hooks. Hny says ho has hod a good ninny years experience as an accountant, but when he first branched out In that lino ho knew nothing at all nbout it. but "got by" by using his "audi tory nerve." SMILE-A-WHILE All Itlght for a Makeshift- Thoj now soft drink' pnrlors about town aro attracting many customers, who gather In tho usual places with con siderable show of satisfaction. Hut tho popular song In theso resorts sconiB to bo, from what wo can hear, '.'Tho Old Homo Ain't What It Used to Do." Henry Scugslnckcn says ho is sur prised that thoro has been so much over liisurnnco in Portland. Ho says if anybody in 'Marshflold over wnntcd to ovor Insure ho never heard of It; his trouble has alwnys been to got thorn to Insuro nt nil. Henry snys his office Is open ovo nlngs, usually. SMILK-A-WHILE " PEHSONAL MENTION. DR. KELTY thinks dentists have as much right to llvo'as anyono olso. SMI LE-A-W1 1 1 LE GEOKQE COOK says that because ho is a big Mooso Is no uso of your taking u shot nt htm every time you find him running nbout Iooeo. S.M I LK-A-WI 1 1 LE No. H (During tho Hulns After tho Snow Melted Away). "Doggouo this ralnl" tho strnngor growled, . "It gots n foilow's goat To sco this everlasting pour, And ovcrythlug afloat. Don't you folks EVER sco tho sun? And nln't It EVER dry? If this kcops up, by heck, I'll bid This watery burg goodbyo, And hunt a placo whoro now and thon A follow has n show To sco his shadow; and I don't Much enro whoro olso I go; Most anywhero to leavo bohlno This ovorlastlug rain And winds that drlvo it through your frame, And got drlod out again. IJy jlmmlny, I'd llko to sco A good old wlntor snow, And hit tho old pond for n skato; Thero's nothing olso I know That puts tho pop Into a man Llko scudding ovor lco; And, (speaking of tho old homo placo), A sleigh rldo would bo nlco. l)y Georgo, It can't bo healthy horo A rnlnlng all tho tlmo. In California, scorns to mo, I'd strlko a decent cllmo." "Yes, kid, I'll tako a Coos Hay Hay Times, And soo what's going on. I'd llko to got my mind nwny From gloomy Oregon." "Ily jovo what's this? A bllz' hack homo? And forty nlno bolow? TrnltiB all laid up, and traffic stop ped ny piling drifts of snow? And, why, look horo tho headllno says Tho floods aro raising Cain Ir 'Sunny California,' And nothing thoro hut rain! Say, maybo Coos Hay nln't so bad, To tako It up and down; I might Just possibly do worso Than stay In this old town; And though I'd roally llko to boo Old Sol come out and smllo, I'm In no hurry, and I guess I'll stick around a while." SMILE-A-WHILE - OUCH! "I saw Doc Housoworth call at your homo this morning," romarkod Gone Crosthwalto'to Dorsoy Krelt zor yesterday. "Was It anything serious?" "Yes, It was darn serious," re plied Dorsoy. "It was both sorlous and painful." "An accident?" asked 'Gone, "No, U wasn't an nceldont," re plied Dorsoy. "Ho wanted tho money I owe him." A New Enterprise Tho Chand ler hnr Is opon again but with Bryan cocktnlls, Loganberry high balls and Willis Kennedy's nntl-soptlc elder fizzes. Carl Stolzeubach, tho gen tlemanly attendant, was planning to servo tea nt 4 p. m. dally, but tho announcement caused a near riot among sonio of tho formor habitues who say thero's a limit to everything. SM I LE-A-WH I LE . 'iliey Sny tho Climate of tho Earth changes completely round ovory ton thousand years. Gono Crosthwalto says that Is about tho tlmo, ns near as ho can reckon in his head, that ho has boon waiting horo for tho railroad to got Into Coos Bay, .and ho thinks that ac counts for tho wintry snows In this land of roses. SMI LE-A-WII I LE Glad to Get Back. Councilman Harry Kimball returned yesterday from a trip to California. Harry pays Its flno to get back to sonio real good weather, after what ho had to run Into down bolow, but whon ho first wont Into hlu otflco nnd snw tho pllo of mall which had accumu lated while ho was away, ho thought ho'd run Into another snowdrift. Ho says ho will nttond to tho letters that contain monoy first. SMILE-A-WHILE Natural Law. Dr. W. A. Toyo, tho G. & P. Contral Ayonuo dentist and nutoist, foil on tho sidewalk, (or off It, wo haven't learned which) In front of his residence tho other night nnd broko n couplo of perfect ly good ribs, much to tho regret of himself and friends. Vo nro sorry to heur this, but can't help reflect ing that Naturo doprlves n man of tho uso of mombors which ho don't oiorclso, and Its surprising how quick a man who rides all tho tlmo Iosob tho uso of his logs. SMILE-A-WHILE STANZAS THAT OMAIl FOHGOT. ONLY after great effort has It been permitted tho writer to offer to tho following stanzas from what would, nt first, appear to bo a sequel ot the "Rub alyat," but as tho primary election draws apace wo nro moro than ovor convinced that tho Illustrious Omar was Inspired by tho propondorous amount of pro-election literature pertaining to somo .ancient ballo torlal contost, that cluttered his desk. This manuscript shows that tho n'ltlor has taken untiring pains in its composition. Tho margins aro grimed with dust and grensa ns though ho, unable to stay nwny from tho work longer, had run In now Mid then from tho tent works In c doi to jot down thoso irecloiis lil.v.s that ho was afraid vould nllp his memory If ho watted 'til evening.

CAPTAIN M'LELLAN of tho S. S. Kllbum denies that tho Portland Coos Bay freight blockade Is caus ed by tho groat amount of war mu nitions offorod for transportation. SMILE-A-WHILE DAVE MUSSON, the coal dealer, was a Contral avenuo visitor this week. Davo says ho can't boo why pcoplo are kicking about tho cold weather, for ho noticed a big Improvement In his business right away as soon us tho ther mometer sagged. SMIL1J-A-WIII LI5 spont tho $4 dollars change for tho baro necessities of life. SMJ LE- A-WI 1 1 LE There was n Lot of l)lturbnnco a few years ago about tho duty of taking caro of tho gasoline boats that wanted to tto up at Marsh flold. But wo haven't heard any thing about taking caro of tho au tomobiles that aro congesting tho streots. When W. J. Conrad, Gus Adclsporgcr and Iko Chnndlor aro in their offices, with their big card outside, nobody can "land" in front of tho Coko building and tho situa tion Is becoming sorlous. SMILE-A-WHILE . . REGINALD S. WRIGHT, tho W. K. nnd B. representative of a San Francisco dry goods houso arrived on Contrnl Avenuo Inst ovonlng on his regular trip to tho Coos Bay trade. Reginald says San Fran cisco hasn't any papor that com pares with tho Booster and Mr. Wright Is a literary gent who knows a newspaper whon ho sees it. SMILE-A-WHILE ANDY DAVIS, of the County Scat paid Tho Booster a pleasant cnll recently. Andy also paid us JR. 00 on subscription, for which wo gnvo him duo credit. Next day Andy roturno.l, saying that ho had discovered ho had glva us a ?5 bill Instead of n ?1 dollar bill, and ho thought ns his eyesight wasn't good as It used to bo aBkcd for 1 dollars chaugo, but Andy naked In vnln wo 1ind already It Is to bo hoped that Coos Bay women will sit down on tho effort now being made to rcvlvo tho bustle.
