ClIAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
By The Wind Slacker
The weather Is sensible, it never
pays any attention to the grumblers.
You always see a red headed Irish
man on the stage, and hardly ever see
one In real life. x
If love was dumb Instead of blind It
would not be able to give voice to so
much foolishness.
It Is astonishing to see the amount
of comfort a man will have out of
spoiling some other fellows fun.

is not intended to apply to physical
culture contests between husbands and
wives. ,
. When a man goes astray -Keep
It out. . ,
When the critics roast a play
Keep it out.
When two men In anger clash; '
When a merchant goes to smash
When the cashier steals the cash
' Keep it out.
When they quarrel j in the church
Keep It out.
When a teacher weilds the birch
, Keep it out.
When nine women fair to see
Whisper something over tea
Print It? Goodness gracious mel

When another tries to steal

one of the sweetest we have through
life. Our passions and our wilfulness
may lead us from the object of our
filial love, we learn even to pain her
heart,' to oppose her wishes, to violate
her commands; vie may become wild,
headstrong and angry at her counsels
jand opposition; but when death has
stilled vher monitory voice, and still
memory remains to recapitulate her
vfrtues and good deeds, affection, like
a flower, beaten to the ground by the
past storm, raises her head and smiles
among her tears. Around that idea,

as we have said, the ,mind clings with
fond affection; and even when the
