Joys o' Winter
;When the corn Is cribbed In safety
and the ducks are flying high,
And tho dead leaves thickly falling
tells us winter draweth nigh;
When the snow-clouds gray and som
bre fly athwart the autumn skies
Then our mouths begin to water for
the mince and pumpkin pies.
"When thA frost la on tho tiumnldn
and the fodder's in the shock"
It's a joy to Jiear the notice that if s
half-past six o'clock
Six p. m., of course we're meaning
and we rush to seize the prize
Juicy slabs of mother's pastry, good
old mince and pumpkin pies.
'All the Frenchified concoctions on the
high, toned bill of fare
Well pass up in scorn and leave them
to their glory lying there,
For at home upon the table is a sight
to please our eyes
And our stomachs fat and juicy
home-made mince and pumpkin pies.
Old Uucullus, history tells us, ate 'the
tongues of nightingales,
But such food before ma's pastry into
airy nothing pales.
And I know, that old XjucuIIus from his
tomb would fain arise
If he knew thejoys abiding in those
mince and pumpkin pies.
and make such a campaign against
child labor that people will lose sight
of your actions in their admira
tion for 'your pretenses."
Realizing that it had been done be
fore, the magnate decided to try it
The difference between the wage of
the children he employed and tho
wage he would have to pay to adults
would more than pay tho cost of run
ning the newspaper.
A Cinch
"The funny man of the Milwaukee
Sentinel offers a prizo for the best
answer to tho question, 'How can you
tell a man from Chicago?' Have you
tried to win?"
"No; but it's a cinch."
"What's the answer?"
"Let the man talk first

"Very slmplo, Willie," said Mr. Bil
dad. His bill is very largo."

"Do you hear my daughter playing
tho piano of evenings?" asked Mr.
DoFlatto.
"Playing?" growled Mr. Do Suite.
"It sounds like work to mo."

Than these choicest gifts of winter,
lucious mince and pumpkin pies.
Outrageous '
"I see that Secretary Wilson says
the mincemeat of commerce has prac
tically no meat in It therefore it does
not come under the government meat
inspection laws."
"Say, the nerve of these government
officials is something awful claiming
to know everything. How does Sec
retary Wilson know what mincemeat
is made of?"
Limerick
There was a young man In Chicago
Who strlved hard In making the
law go,
But sad to remark
He wasn't a "shark."
And now he is making a saw go.

A Warning
Those wbo caused the insurrection
will be filled with deep dejection
when Taft starts to make Inspection
of the scrap in Cuba's isle;
For he'll make investigation of the
troubled situation and inflict duo
castlgation if it's really worth tho
while.
Uncle Sam the scene's surveying while
his fleets and armies staying, and
he says, "No time for playing
down to business you must get."
So ho sends down Taft and Bacon to
convince them they're mistaken
and their sense of right awaken,
and they'll do it, too, you bet!
Those who've raised the conflagration
in that new and untried nation fall
to sense the situation, or the trouble
they've begun.
For "Bill" Taft has made a landing,
and it's time for understanding, it's
no lightweight we are handing, for
Taft weighs a solid ton.
Financial
"But the railroads killed 6,000 last
year," we protested.
"True, but that was an accident,"
said the magnate.
"The use of adequate safety appli
ances would have prevented it," we
declared. .
"Look hero!" shouted the magnate
"you talk like a man who thinks that
safety appliances can- be had for
"nothing!"

The "kicker" is a necessary adjunct
to every successful organization.
Perhaps they call It "bridge whist"
because it makes the losers cross.
Self-sacrifice does not consist In giv
ing up something you do not want.
The first success of some men has
spelled their quick and final failure.
A lot of men who want to run for
office always saunter along to their
work.
A lot of people waste time in pray
ing for what they want rather than
for what they need.

HOW NOT TO ADVERTISE
The farmers of northern Indiana
and southern Michigan have come to
realize that advertising signboards
mar the beauty of the country and
that the advertisers in placing them
ruin young trees and break their
fences; and they have effected an or
ganization to ee that every sign Is
removed from their premises and to
prosecute merchants who, in the fu
ture, trespass on their property. The
advertising signboards in the country
everywhere Is a blemish and a blot,
besides being one of the least profit
able and effective mode of advertis
ing. Boston Globe.
