LESLIE M. SHAW: You started out
with wealth of brag that after Wall
street you'd not drag. But now
you're blowing cold and hot as bad
as any in tho lot You loan on
whetstones, chips and things the
country's gold to Wall street kings.
At Denison the man who got a loan
from you paid quite a lot of inter
est upon his note and gave a mort
gage called "cut throat" But Wall
streot kings need but to say, "We'd
like to have some gold today," and
you send them a golden store and
humbly ask, "Do you want more?"
TOM JOHNSON: Tom, we admire
your vig'rous stylo that keep3 you
busy all tho while. Tho world ad
mires the man who fights for jus
tice and for human righta; who
knows the common people's need to
be released from selfish greed that
grinds them down into tho dust to
fatten up some brutal trust, and
knowing it will lead tho fray no
matter what the trust kings say.

May me Grayce Clancey,.
aesthetic young miss,
Who read Jaura Lean Jibbey's mostv
wonderful books,
Exclaimed to herself, "Well, I'm quite!
sure of this,
The man whom I wed must be one
of good looks;
His mustache be curly, his long, wav
ing hair
As black as tho wing of the raven
. must be; u.
And the air of a baroi&t, lord or
.duke wear,
If ever ho makes an impression on
me.
"His hands must be dainty, unsul
lied by work,
His eyes must be dreamy, but full
of true light
Wherein the true poet's own dear soul
must lurk,
And like a Sir Knight for his lady
must fight.
A man great and noble'tis such I
will claim
As king of my heart and my own
lover true,
And he must "be owner of some pret
ty name
De Lancey, FitzPercey or Harrolde
will do."
Miss Mayme Grayce Clancey thus
dreamed her dreams sweet
While poring o'er Jaura Lean Jib
bey's dear books,
Until 'round her optics there gathered
crowsfeet
And a fat doublechin rather marred
her good looks.
'Twas then she awoke from her Jib
beyesque trance
And with a great joy in her shrill
piercing tones
She gave a quick "Yes" with a fond,
happy glance,
When asked by the auburn-haired
Anidab Jones.

that is impossible. But I can. cuce- tho

I ask for no money. Simply write
me a postal and I will send you an or
der on your nearest j axuggist fqr gix
bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure,
for every druggist keeps it Use it
for a month and, if "it; succeeds, ;tho
cost is only $5.60. If it fails, I will
pay the druggist myself.
I have no sam: .es, because any med
icine that can affec'. Rheumatism
quickly must be drugged to the verge
of danger. I use no such drugs, and
it is folly to take them. You must
get the disease out of the blood.
My remedy does that, even in the
most difficult obstinate cases. ,No
matter how impossible this seems to
you, I know it and take the risk. I
have cured tens of thousands of cases
in this way, and my records show that
39 out of 40 who get six bottles pay,
gladly. T have learned that people in
general are honest with a physician
who cures them. That is .all I ask.
If I fail I don't expect a penny from
you.
Simply write mo a postal card or a
letter. I will send you my book about
Rheumatism, and an order for tho
medicine. Take it .for a mouth j as' it
won't harm you anyway. If it fails,
i' is free, and I leave tL6 ""decision
