Mills, Box 253, The Hoalth Food F ad. Colonel Peter Crulksliank was a "health food" crank, And ho sought with his might and his main For ev'ry new brand on the grocery stand With the protein part of the grain. He would amble right by with an un seeing eo All the juicy and tender beefsteak, But with pleasure he'd greet either rye, oats or wheat In the shape of the crisp malted flake. r He dined in the morn on some cold "Eat-a-corn," And at noon on some crisp Flake-a-wheat;" And later, at six, he- would joyfully mix Some thin "Oat-a-mush" porridge to eat. With his health breakfast food it was well understood Only "Roastemrye"" coffee he'd quaff; And then at high noon only sweet "Juice-a-prune," And drink them at eve half-and-half. He had a long speech on the merits of each, And said they set blood running free; And with mouth opened wide emphat ically cried; "None of animal food give to me! Dyspepsia will greet ev'ry man who will eat Of the flesh of the steer and the swine; But he who partakes of the crisp malt ed flakes Will in comfort and pleasure ere dine!' Colonel Peter Crulksliank at last grew so ran it On tho subjects of protein and malt, That his friends in despair with deep rage did declare It was time to command him to halt. They conferred for a while with full many a smile And they fixedTup an elegant gag And one day on the street they gave Colonel Pete A handsomely painted nosebag. WHote Howard'FfcUled. Judge Edgar Howard, editor of the Columbus (Neb.) Telegram, is a lawyer by profession, but prefers editing a strong democratic newspaper to engag ing in the quirks and kinks of the legal profession. This may not be financial ly profitable to Judge Howard, but it has proved of groat benefit to the cause of genuine democracy. Judge Howard was in Lincoln a short time ago, and while "talking shop" with a little coterie of news paper men at tho Lindoll told of an incident that happened during the year or two that he was out of the news paper business and in the legal busi ness. . "It was down in Papillion," said the judge, "and I had just opened up my law office after selling my newspaper I was waiting for clients and amulg myself .by writing editorials and then throwing them away. One day a man came in and asked if I would give him some legal advice. Of course I said 1 would, and ho immediately stated his case. 1 'He said tie had just moved into the neighborhood from over in ttfc south part of the county, and I recognized his name as that of a werMo-do farm er. Ho went on to say tnat he had planted a number of trees on his new place, and that a neighbor's cow had broken through the fence ana gnawed the trees bare of bark and bues. " 'Now, what I want to know,' said the man, 'is whether 1 can make my neighbor pay for the damage?' "I told him he certainly had a good case, but perhaps he could settle it by presenting the bill to the neighbor with an explanation of the affair, and thus provent any costly litigation. With a grin the man hauled oufe a bill for $13.50 and handed it to me, saying that it was my cow that had eaten the trees. Of course I couldn't do any thing else than pay him, so I gave him a check for the amount." "But of course you cnarged him at least $20 for your advice?" said one of the listening newspaper boys. "Yes, I sent him a bill for just that amount, but it came back from the postoffice marked 'not found.' " o Ono on "R.ox M." "Gene" Mayfleld, who edits the Chil- Idren's Department of the Omaha World-Herald, has endeared himself to the little folks by his animal stories, and his name is a household word in thousands of western homes. Mr. Mayfield's friends are telling a little- story about him, and it is good enough to print, even though it may not be founded on actual fact. A few weelcs ago a gentleman from the western part of Nebraska had bus iness in Omaha, and took his little girl, aged 8, with him. It was her first trip to the Nebraska metropolis, and it was full of interest to her. .Fa ther and daughter had been in Omaha but a few hours when the little one said: "Papa:, you know you promised to take me to see 'Rex M.' " Recalling the promise the gentleman took the little girl to the World-Herald office and inquired for the room occu pied by Mr. Mayfteld. When It was pointed out the gentleman approached the door, but just as he reached forth to kno'ck, the little gin exclaimed: "Wait, papa. Before I go in I want you to go in and see If they are all there." 'See if what are there?" queried papa. "All his animals. If they are in there he must promise not to let 'em loose while I'm in there, and he must make 'em talk to me." "But he only writes about 'make be lieve animals,' sweetheart," said papa. i.The,n, lm not goinS in" said the ulxb gia "ir tney are only make be lieve .animals then he may be onlv a make believe man, and I'm not going to be fooled into talking with only a make believe." y And despite all the father could say or do the little girl refused to see the jolly young fellow wno has made "Nipper" and a host of other animals seem real to tho .little folks. Ulmals Immune. The management of the great far tory had just posted a notice of a Wae reduction of 40 per cent, and a Com mittee from the employes wXrt .Our wages were none too S as they were," saId the chairman of fl wswrssssaS do without many of the necessaries of nee. 'I assure you, gentlemen," said tho suave superintendent, "that wo did not make this wage reduction because of our desire to increase our own divi dends. We did it for.tue good of our employes." "How do you make that out?" quer ied the astonished commiUee. Reaching into a drawerbf" his desk the superintendent drew forth a copy of tho leading mqdical magazine and proceeded tp read an article where it was stated tnat Americans ate too .much. "Being solicitous ror the health of our employes," said the superintend ent when he had finished reading, "wo took this method of preventing them from injuring their health and dig tion by over-eating. Good day." Not being versed in medical lore the committee was forced to withdraw and take time for consideration, Groat Discovery. When Mr. Dufileld entered the door after a day of hard work at the of fice, his wife met him with a beaming smile. "0, John," she exclaimed; "I have just the best news." "Baby got a new tooth?" "0, better than that." . "Johnnie home without a- hole in the toe of his shoe?" "0, quit your nonsense, dear; this is really good news." "Well, out with it, my dear. I'm all attention." "I was just looking over that St. Louis paper you brought home last night, and what do you-think! I found in It the name of Mrs. Jocelyn Smith. Who do you think its?" "Blamed if I knows What is it you've got?" !T "Wliy, Mrs. Jocelyn Smith is the Miss Jocelyn Derby-that used to be, and I- knew her when I was a little girl. Her folks lived in Spunkville when 'my foks did, and we often met on our way to school. I remember her just as well." "What's good about all that?" "Why, John! Can't you see? We can go to the exposition now. I'm sure dear Jocelyn will be awfully glad to have us visit her for a week or two." Whoct It Is. "Bilkins is writing a play." "That so? What kind of a play will it be?" ' "Well, Bilkins thinks it will be a comedy, and that's w.erethe tragedy will come in." Brain-Leaks. The early worm baits the hook. Beware of the Trusts bearing gifts. A smiling face pays fare a long distance in the business world. When we do our 3vel best God be gins where we have to leave off. The Congressional Record contains a lot of political history that never hap pened. The agnostic says, "I don't know." Tho Christian says, "I believe." But God knows. The firm of Hustle & Skill suc ceeds in the fl61d where Complaint & Grouch go bankrupt We have heard prayers so eloquent that we felt sure they were prepared for the ears, of the multitude. The "older we grow the more wo wonder that we ever saw anything pleasant about a church "social." Optimism doesn't consist in hunting for 'dark clouds in order to have a chance for looking for silver linings. After a man has reached forty no spends a goodly share of his time talc ing stock fit what he thought ho kne and sifting out itll that is not wortn while. '! ( J N mm . ' .jjctgJifaiuk
