Base Ball Fever
On - Zmiis
I feel It coming on again this spring
It always gets mo just about this time
It steals upon me softly and it says
The game Is called at 3 oclock now
climb
I squirm about and swear I will not
budge
The demon grabs me madly by the hair
Next mrnutc I am rushing for a car
And when the umpire bawls Play
ball Im there
My office boy Is acting rather strange
Im dreadfully afraid hes got It too
But if he gets away this year I know
That boy must think up something that
Is new
lie lost grandmothers last year sixteen
times
His sisters wedding happened once a
week
And now I know from how he lolls
around
Hes planning up some scheme to make
a sneak
Oh well this working all the time Is
hard
And yet I must pitch in today and dig
Theres sevral most important matters up
And one of them is well its pretty big
Excuse me please The telephone doth
ring
Whats that Oh no I cannot go to
day
He is Youre sure that he will pitch the
game
Well yes I think Ill join you right
away

Stringhalt Philosophy
The sincere man can accomplish
much
it ft it
Some people are like crows very
noisy and little thought of
it it
A cracked hell and a cracked man
always give forth unpleasant utter
ances
it it it
Small griefs are always told Great
griefs secrete themselves within a heart
and have no tongue to break the holy
silence
it it it
Nothing rests a city man so much
after having the din of the city in his
ears all day as the sweet gushing
song of a brook crooning its way
through fern decked banks and oer
mossy stones
Attractions
Beyond the Alps lies Italy
Amid the fragrant breeze
And speaking of the fragrance there

The trouble with scolds is that after

Sometimes the small boy who goes
fishing on Sunday and doesnt catch
anything catches something when he
gets home

No man is guilty until his wife
catches him at it and then oftentimes
she prefers to believe him rather than
the cuckoo clock

Telling your bachelor friend that
your wife always cures your headache

Fly Time
Oh the summer time is near
It is time for flies I fear
There was one came on today
In his buzzing sort of way
Lit upon my nose and said
Ho what makes this smeller red
Its time for flies
On their never ceasing raid
In the butter they will wade
In the milk theyll fall and die
In the coffee and the pie
On the bald mans head theyll skate
At a very frisky rate
Its time for flies
Oh the tanglefoot will lie
On the chair to catch the fly
Sisters beau will come along
All the world will be a song
Then hell sit in it the goose
Oh my goodness turn me loose
Its time for flies

Danger Ahead
Kissing is infectious contagious and
delirious It infects the sweetest and
prettiest of young ladies and spreads
among all her acquaintances As for
the delirious part quite frequently
both parties to the kissing game are
insane on this one subject And
to make kissing the more dangerous
It very frequently leads to matrimony

CHURCH TOWERS
They Are c Distinctive Feature of the
Mexican View
There is no country better worth vls
itlntr than Mexico It Is very striking
in crossing the border from the United
States to note bow completely every
thing changes Here there hardly
seems anything man has constructed
which harmonizes with its surround
ings there everything seems to be en
tirely a part of the country It is
more foreign than Europe is now and
constantly reminds one of the east
Riding In some of the little traveled
districts I could hardly believe that I
was not in India The dust in- the
road the thorn scrub on both sides
with that pungent smell of the blos
soms all reminded me of the country
about Ahmedabad The plateau In
winter the dry season Is very much
like the desert long stretches of coun
try with purple mountains in the dis
tance without a tree in sight except
where there is a town or where irri
gation has kept a little green and a
few trees have been planted Often
the horizon is so distant that the
mountains melt into the skj and per
haps one catches a glimpse of the snow
on one of the volcanoes The color is
that of its own Mexican opal greens
blues and reds
Everywhere the distinctive features
are the church towers and tiled domes
rising above the towns The exteriors
of these churches are always pictur
esque and interesting but the interiors
are usually disappointing for they
have suffered much during many revo
lutions and perhaps even more from
senseless renovations There are a
few still untouched where one can see
them as nearly all were once entirely
covered with richly carved wood heav
ily gilded Gold was used thickly ev
erywhere till the carving looked like
solid metal I have seen much gold in
churches but none to equal that in
Mexico Lockwood do Forest in Cen
tury
NO ALTERNATIVE
The Jury Had to Teach the Pompous
Judge a Lesson
A certain trial judge in a certain
state became so unpopular that the
only way he could get a verdict for the
state was to make his charge in favor
of the prisoner When matters had
reached this stage a famous feud fight
er was arrested on a charge of murder
and brought to trial The case which
was the judges first murder trial at
tracted much attention and the judge
whose unpopularity arose from his
vanity and pomposity greatly enjoyed
his role as umpire of the law The
case was a clear one against the de
fendant and his guilt Avas so conclu
sively proved that the judge even pre
sumed to charge accordingly The
jury retired and when they filed back
into court it was noticed that they
avoided the prisoners eye and looked
unusually solemn
Gentlemeu said the judge waving
the clerk into silence have you
reached a verdict
We have said the foreman
The judge opened a paper bag and
drew out a black cap With au im
portant look around the courtroom he
placed this on his head and pulled it
down until it met his ears
Prisoner he said arise and look
at the jury Jury arise and look at the
prisoner Gentlemen what is your
verdict
The jurymen who had been whisper
ing to each other nodded cheerfully
at the prisoner
Not guilty said the foreman
Of course he said later Avhen ev
ery one had shaken the innocent mans
hand he was guilty all right and
that was going to be our verdict but
when the little judge put that black
cap on his head and pulled it down
over his ears like that there was only
one thing for us to do and we did it
New York Sun
Graveyard Neighbors
The agent for a cemetery company
was expatiating on the good points of
a certain lot Presently the prospec
tive purchaser interrupted with the
enumeration of several prominent fam
ilies owning property there
Is this lot near theirs she asked
The agent admitted that it was quite
a distance off
Then said the woman I dont
Avant it Id rather pay more and get
in a good neighborhood
The agent collapsed
Has it come to the point he said
where people consider their next door
neighbors even in a graveyard New

Business Sense
In new lines of goods is where the
profits lie The old standbys that ev
ery dealer keeps have the prices all cut
to pieces on them Get the new things
ahead of the other fellows and make
money on them Frequent change of
the arrangement of your show cases
gives the effect of new goods receiA ed
The same old arrangement month in
and month out no matter how many
new goods looks like the same old
stock Printers Ink
