NOTHIN' ELSE BUT
Any time that you start get

And wonderin' how in the

You're goin' to kick through
With sufficient "mazu"
To give your dear landlord
a check;
Whenever the wrinkles

Over bills with which you

Don't dog it and run,
But remember, my son,
The first hundred years are
the worst.
Whenever you start cussin'
Volstead
For bein' the ornery gink,
Who gave us the law,
Like a sock on the jaw, '
That made water a popular

As I say, when you're think

Who gave us this terrible

Mix your moonshine and

And remember, old top,
The first hundred years are

Any time that you think
your friend, wifey,
Is makin' the going too

You're a pretty wise chap,
If you don't start a scrap
One fighter per family's

Let her think she is boss of

If you don't, then trouble

It's the nicest way out,
So remember, old scout,
The first hundred years are

H, V. 'I'oole' Theatres
By II. W. Poole.
It was cold last night, but it wasn't too cold to keep
a lot of the good folks away from the Hot Springs Nat
atorium when they knew that every 35 cents they paid
for a .plunge in the mineral water would go to the Kid
dies' Christmas fund which is being promoted by the
Evening Herald.
M. A. Mann, owner of the Natatorium, who made this
generous offer for the sake of the poor youngsters, walk
ed into the Herald office this afternoon with $14.15, the
receipts for the evening. It was a splendid piece of work
on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Mann, and also real co
operation on the part of the people who enjoyed the
plunge.
Smiles and laughter are going to replace tears, and
hearth-aches for Klamath's unfortunate kiddies on Christ
mas morning. For the Evening Herald's Kiddies' Christ
mas fund is soaring to success.
Teare came to the eyes of the Santa Claus editor this
morning as he tore open an envelope and found within
a check for $25 from Harry Poole, owner of the Pine Tree
and Liberty theatres, for he knew that within Harry's
brusque exterior there beat a heart attuned in sympathy
with the, plight of these unfortunate tots whose stockings
might otherwise be empty with the dawn of Christmas
morning. And the Santa Claus editor knows full well
that in the giving, Harry Poole has found a supreme
joy has found the true spirit of Christmastide, and like
-the youngsters he is helping to make happy, his heart
will be filled with an ineffable peace.
She didn't wear the conventional shawl, but perhaps
she should for her clothing was just a bit shabby as she
walked into the Herald office last night and laid a silver
dollar down upon the desk.
"Just say it's a little contribution from a woman who
washes clothing and who cherishes the memory of her
own little girl who is with her no more," she said, as the
track of a tear fell from her eyes.
Then she went her way as quickly as she had come;
back to the tub and ironing board.
J. Jensen is a laborer who lives at the Central hotel.
He doesn't expect much for himself in the way of Christ
mas gifts this year, but he's not going to mind, because
his silver dollar is going to play an important part in
making the poor kiddies happy.
George Cornell, 206 Michigan avenue, is another who
can visualize the grief in the homes of the poor when
stockings are empty and hearts are heavy on Christmas
morning. His three dollars are helping to' swell the fund
for the kiddies of Klamath.
i
Here's 8ome real news for the donors and the young
sters' as well, Mordoff and Woolf, furniture dealers,
wanted to do their part. So they have ordered a big
box of toys at absolute cost. They wired for the con
signment this morning $150 worth of dolls and trains
and horns and blocks and animals and all of the toys
which, make Christmas so real for the little tots. Not
only are they getting these toys at absolute cost, but
they also have quite a number of worth while toys in
stock which they are giving free to this Kiddies' Christ
mas fund. They're doing more than their part to make
this fund a success.
The fund now has reached the $103 mark. Toys
costing $150 have been ordered, so additional funds
must be procured. If you want to help us in making
this a Christmas the youngsters will never forget, just
bring in your dollar, or mail it, to the Kiddies Christmas
fund. As an investment it will give you more real sat
isfaction than anything you could do, ,
