Polar Reflections.
How awful 'twould be to live at the pole.
With no back yard but an icy shoal
And no front lawn but a bis, deep hole
At the pole!
Nowhere to get your breakfast roll.
Nowhere to buy a load of coal.
Nowhere to go for a pleasant stroll
At the pole!
Nowhere to sit on a grassy knoll
Or the mossy side of a fallen bole
And idly loaf and Invile your .soul
At the pole!
Doesn't It seem a little droll?
There's nothing to do but to enroll
Your name upon fame's glittering scroll
At the pole!

Father Dooley had Just fled the
knot. He looked expectant, the bride
looked sheepish, and Pat. shifting
from one foot to another, looked
guilty. At last he began, "I I don't
like to be mane, father, but I changed
me clothes In a hurry and left me
wages In me other pants." Then he
added In a whisper: "Take me down
in the cellar. I'm a plumber, and I'll
show ye how to fix the gas meter so 't
won't register more than 40 per cent"

Fate's Jolts.
If fate hands out a bump to you,
Don't quit the game.
There is no soft, upholstered road
To wealth or fame.
Keep plugging right along and say
When you fall flat,
"Another Jolt from fate, but I
Expected that."
A grin Is better than a groan.
Life's road is toutjh,
But jolts won't stop you if you're made
Of proper stuff.
