Little Man
The "Biggest Boy" has gone away,
But "Little Man" is here.
I miss the "Big Boy's" heavy tread,
But, rising sweet and clear,
I hear the "Little Man's" request
"When "Daddy's." face he sees:
"I'm papa's ownest Little Man
. Give me a penny, please!"
The "Biggest Boy" is not at home,
And though his absence hurts
At least there's comfort I can find
Clean collars, socks and shirts.
And when I look about aTid see
The "Little Man" at play,
That lonesome feeling in my heart
Just somehow fades away.
The "Biggest Boy" has "hit the
trail "
But "Little Man" still stands
Beside his "Daddy's" easy chair
And stretches out his hands;
He smiles and says with coaxing
voice
While climbing on my knees:
"I'm papa's little man today;
Give me some candy, please!"
One boy has gone to light his fight;
One boy remains with me
The "Biggest Boy" with bearded lip,
The "Little Man" aged three.
And may the one who's far away
'Midst life's hard toil and care
Remain as fond of "Dad" as he
Who stands beside my chair.

This new invention, the
Stolz Electrophone (U. S.
Patent No. 763,575), renders
unnecessary such clumsy,
unsightly and frequently
harmful devices as trumpets,
horns, tubes, ear drums,
fans, etc. It is a tiny electric
telephone that fits on the ear
and which, the instant it is
applied, magnifies the sound
waves In such manner as
to cause an astonishing in
crease in the clearness of all
sounds. It overcomes the
buzzing and roaring ear
noises and also, so constant.

"What Threo Business Men Say.
The Electrophone, Is Tery satisfactory. Being small in size
and great in hearing dualities makes it preferable to any I have
tried, and, I believe, I.have tried all of them.
M- W. HOYT, Wholesale Grocer.
' Michigan Ave. and River St, Chicago.
I have used your Electrophone since July, 1903. It enables
me to hear speakers over 50 feet away. Without it I could not
hear their voices. It has Improved my natural hearing at
least 50 per cent and baa ttoppsd the head noise, which were
so annoying. Refer to me at any time, ti. 1 . KUiUits,

I have now used your Electrophone over a year, and know
that it is a first-class, scientific hearing device. Without It
people have to shout directly in my ear to make me hear. With
It, I can hear distinctly when spoken to in an ordinary tone.
Ilest ol all, It baa ttopped say bead 'rubes, which were a
terrible aggravation. LEWIS W. MAY, Cashier.

Often the Cas.0
"I have often noticed," remarked
Uncle Bill Pepper, "that a lot of men
who are always worrying about the
pedigree of their live stock never
pay any attention to furnishing a
good pedigree for their children."
Justified
"You are charged with having vio
lently assaulted the plaintiff while in
a public resort. What have you to
say?"
"Judge, the orchestra .was render
ing the 'Sextette' from 'Lucia,' and
that fellow sat right behind me and
persisted in whistling it through his
teeth."
"The prisoner is discharged. The
plaintiff is fined $11 for action cal
culated to provoke an assault."
Open Season
I feel the tang of April in the breeze,
And hear the unlocked waters
gently cwish;
I see the buds are swelling on the
trees
And, gee! The open season's on
for fish.
The April sun is warming hill and
glade,
The birds are singing spring songs,
early, late;
Now where on earth did I lay down
that spade?
I've got to find the tning and dig
some bait.
Is This Correct?
A youthful reader in Iowa asks
the philosopher of this department
to explain the origin of the term
"watered stocks."
The philosopher has heard many
explanations, but the -most likely one
is to this effect: Many years ago
an old stock shipper in Kansas load
ed up a few carloads of steers and
atbrrAri them to Chicaeo. He dis
tributed a barrel of salt in each car,
and by agreement with the railroad
stopped the stock in transit about
six hours out of Chicago and wa
tered. The thirst-crazed steers drank
all they could hold, and as a result
weighed thirty or forty pounds more
when they were unloaded on the
scales at the stock yards. The old
fellow couldn't keep the secret and
told a friend. The habit grew until
the stockyards people got on to it
and put a stQp to the practice by
refusing to weigh until after twenty
four hours had passed after unload
ing.' If this isn't the best explanation,
will somebody please give a better?
Of Graver Importance
"Bingerly, did you ever stop to
think of the terrible injustice
wrought upon us by the iniquit
ous "
"Ain't worryin' none about 'iniqu
ties; open season for fishin' an' I got
to dig some bait."
"But, Bingerly, tho hand of the
oppressor is laid heavily upon us and
we should rise in our manhood and
"Am risin'; ducks flyin thick an'
I'm on my way down t' th' ammuni
tion store."
"O, man, man! With oppression
upon qvery hand, with serfdom star
ing us in the face, we should "
"Don't see no oppression; bargain
sale o' fishin' tackle at Smith's, store,
an' th' reel I've been hankerin' for
is marked down 50 per cent."
"How can, you submit quietly to
these Injustices when "
- "Ain!t submittin' t' nothin'. Pay
a lot o' congressmen t' look after
that. Can't hire a feller t' do my
fishin' for me. So long!"

The visitor from Mars was seeking
information, thinking to use it to the
advantage of his own people when
he returned home.
"Why do you put a tariff on
wool?1' he asked. "Does it not make
the people pay more for their cloth
ing?" ' "O, no," replied his instructor.
"You see, we put this tariff on wool
because it increases the price of the
product to the producer by shutting
out foreign competition."
"Well, does not that result in an
increased price for clothing?"
"Indeed not. We follow up the
wool tariff by putting a tariff on
manufactured woolens, which pre
vents foreign competition, thus stim
ulating home manufactures and re
sulting In fierce competition among
manufacturers, which results in
greatly decreased prices to the buyer
of clothing."
"So a tariff on wool Increases the
price to the producer, and tariff on
clothing decreases the price that the
producer receives?"
"Yes."
"Well, I guess I'll go back home.
I can see no sense in wasting time
trying to secure useful information
from a people who. accept that sort
of doctrine."
So saying the Martian pushed the
speed lever of his airship to the
fourth notch and sailed away..
Do Not udgo Hastily
"I beg your pardon, sir."
"WelJ, I'll not grant it."
Before you condemn tho man who
refused to grant pardon when asked,
investigate the facts.
It was a convicted horse thief, and
he was addressing the governor.
