My Part
I may not lead some great world-wide
reform
That benefits my fellowman;
But I can show my sympathies are
warm
And cheer tho men who can.
I may not have the brains to lead a
fight
Against the wrongs on every hand;
But I can help tho man who has,
all right
I'll cheer to beat the band.
I may not give to all who hunger feel
A feast of viands rich and rare;
But I can give some brother half my
meal
And banish one's despair.
I may not slay the dragon's lust and
greed
That day by day oppress my fel
lowman; But I can cheer and wish a warm
God-speed
Unto the man who can".
I may not bo the man to point the
way
To nobler words and thoughts and
deeds;
But I can cheer, and thus help day
by day
The man who can and leads.
I may not have the talent at com
mand "To fire men's hearts to battle
'gainst the wrong;
But when I see one, by him I can
stand
And help the workx along.
Inexhaustible
"Is Sincherly a rich man?"
"Say, he's got money enough to
publish a daily paper to boost his
particular line of graft."
Easy !
Railroad Magnate "I think the
courts are perniciously active and
Trust Magnate "Easy! As long as
the courts are confining their ener
gies to trust busting among the
trades unions they are not hurting
us.
Of Course
"Penheck says it is easy to give up
a bad habit."
"O, that's because Penheck don't
dare smoke any cigars except those
his wife gives him on Christmas and
his birthdays."
Happy Thought
"I hope they will put George Ade
on the resolutions committee and
make him chairman," remarked Ker
shaw, who was waiting for the mills
to open again.
"What for?"
"Well, while waiting for that full
dinner pail we can laugh at the plat
form he brings in. That would help
some."
Fatal Oversight
"I see that Scratcherly is look
ing for a job. How did he come to
leave the employ of Senator Snooks?"
"He prepared the copy of the sen
ator's speech for the printer and
forgot to put in a lot of brackets
around applause, loud applause,
laughter, vociferous applause, loud
and continued applause, and all that
sort of thing."
Much Hotter
"I see that congress 1st going to
put the motto back on the gold
coins."
"All right, but I wish congress
would put back some of the coin it
took from us by legalizing a lot of
rank robbery."
New Order
Mrs. Bildad looked up over the
evening paper which Mr. Bildad had
thrown aside and asked:
"I believe you arc an 'Eagle,' are
you not?"
"I am," proudly remarked Bildad.
"And an Elk?"
"That's right I am."
" Well, I'm thinking about organ
izing another society with a name
something like them."
"What are you going to call it?"
queried Mr. Bildad.
"I thing I'll call them 'Homing
Pigeons'," replied Mrs. Bildad, "and
I want you to be a charter member.
I suppose you havo to go back to
the office this evening?"
But by this timo Mr. Bildad was
in the hall, reaching for his hat and
coat and muttering to himself.
Sometimes Happens
Willie Callow loved sweet Minnie
Mellow.
Willie determined to send Minnie
a fine valentine.
So Willie bought the valentine,
and a few minutes later bought him
self a shirt.
Being a proud youth, Willie gave
the two packages to a messenger boy,
with minute directions as to the de
livery of the packages.
Of course the messenger boy was
careless, as most messenger boys are.
Tho messenger boy rang the bell
at Minnie's home, and when she ap
peared at the door he handed her the
wrong package.
An instant later, however, he saw
his mistake, and gave Minnie the
right package.
Then he delivered the shirt at
Willie's room.
Despite the newspapers, this is the
way it sometimes happens.
Brain Leaks
A hovel may be a home and a
palace may ho purgatory.
This is tho time of year when the
city man makes a lot of garden.
People who refuse to do as we say
always lose life's best opportunities.
The worst sham we have run
against is "buttermilk" from a big
creamery.
Some people are very careful not
to let their pocketbooks feel a re
ligious thrill.
The baby is taught a lot of cute
things that are awfully impudent and
saucy a few years later.
Speaking of nature fakes, how
about the minnow that bites like a
two-pounder and then gets away?
Were you ever in the position
where you knew people didn't want
you, and yet you couldn't get away?
We will know that spring Is ap
proaching just as soon as some one
tells us that the peach crop is ruined.
Whenever we hear sinners abusing
a preacher for his activities we are
quite sure he deserves an increase in
salary.
"You can not legislate brains into
a man's head," is a favorite argu
ment of those who thrive on special
privilege. That may be the truth,
but we can legislate the other man's
hand out of our pockets.
