"My brain is having
Fainting spells,"
The girl reporter cried.
It needs a long vacation
And wooded auto rides.
The hum-drum
Of this paper
Is nerve-racking
And sad
The city editor
Is dull
The cub reporter
In" our midst
Has cornered
AH the pep.
Today I'll say
Goodby !
Adieu!
With sympathy for slaves
Who dig and dig
And write and write
Their stories which .
Will have no point
When they're
At lepfcth
Completed."
Our girl reporter
Left us laughing
As on her merry way
She went
And bade us
Work away
While she vacated
In the dells '
And summer bathing beaches,
She stayed away
Just two short weeks
Then came back
To the fold.
"I'll take an assignment
If you please."
The C. E. smiled
And blinked
So out she went
Upon the street
With pencil tucked
Into her purse "
"The world was bright
This morning"
She told the staff
That nignt
"For two weeks
It's been dull.
Hei we rush
Out there we rust
I hate the droll
Monotony.
Today I, walked
On fairy feet
The world was mine
To take therefrom
What ere I pleased
Each human being
Was to me
A burlesifue or
A tragedy.
The pavement meant
A council row
The buildings
Strikes
And graft-tnd labor
The atmosphere
The weather man
Each was a throbbing story
tacn in pathos
And humor was blent.
This pencil concealed
And I was content
The world was mine
Who would be bothered
By being a king?"

Found at Last.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha
In response to "Simply Wild."
I have been dreaming of him,
night and day. I know I should
know him anywhere. I have been
so miserable, for I had to come
back to my home hwn and I am
so afraid I'll never see him again.
I did not dare to speak to him then,
for mother was .with me.
I am sure I am the girl he
means, for I am very beautiful and
dearly loved by many, but have
never before found the man I could
really love.
Of course I am young, but I
think that many girls have been
married young and have been hap
py. I do so wish I could see him
again, but, please, Miss Fairfax, let
him know for me that I still love
him even more than ever. Lov
ingly, YOUR BEAUTY.
Well, well! This is becoming in
teresting. Why did you not sign
your name?

Genius or Fool.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have written to you before, but have
not seen my letter in print, so I
am coming to you for advice now.
I have been corresponding with a
boy friend for about two years. He
writes real nice letters at times, and
then again he nearly freezes me.
Also when I am with him he treats
me nice.
Some time ago I received a letter
from him, and at the closing he
signed "From One of Your Best
Friends." Now, what do you sup
pose he meant by that? Do you
think he Is worthy of my corre
spondence? Also is it proper for a
young lady to go to the jnovies with
a boy friend three or even four
nights in succession? It is proper
for me to- entertain a boy friend at
my cousin's house when they are
not at home? Was it proper for me
to accept a necklace from a soldier
friend, Vho sent it to me while at
camp? Was it rii:ht for me to send
him a small gift of jewelry in re
turn? Please do not print ""-my i
address. Please

"Least" may have been "best"

may be a temperamental genius in

are bo alike that I have difficulty
in separating them.

ful expression in the above picture. And Vivian has only to cast those
mournful eyes on the erring photographer and say: "Do you really think
I look like this," to make him remorsefully drink from his own cyanide
tank.
Have an Understanding.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha, Bee: I
am a young man, 24 years old, and
am coming to you for a little advice.
I am keeping company with a girl
of 22. I am very much In love with
this young lady and have told her
so. Is that as much as is necessary
for a proposal? Am not certain
she takes it that wav. Or must I out
ante out ask her to marry me?
We are both of a very jealous dis
position, and sh is as friendly with
her other boy friends as with me.
Do you think she would act so if
e loved me? I try to treat hw
as-i ieei, ine oniy girl in tne world.
How am I going to find out wheth
er she loves me. I have asked her
not to keep company with other
boys and I would keep company
with no other girls. She said she
didn't care for more than one ct a
time. Was it all right for me to
ask ner to do this?
She is very attractive and has
winning disposition, and she is as
wen lined by old as young, but
know if I was as social with other
girls as she is with other boys she
wouian t narciiy speak to me.
would it be all right for m to
ten ner rrankly I don't like it?
Hoping to see the answer -in print
soon, win close. B. !. M.
Declarations of love are usually
accompanied by a proposal of mar
nage, ana i nave no doubt the
young woman thinks it strange that
you have not made your intentions
known. If you are not engaged to
her you have no right to dictate as
to her other friends. Have an un
derstanding with her concerning the
future and you will both be han-
pier.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am looking for a bachelor of such
a description as I saw in The Bee.
Gee, but I hope he hasn't made his
choice, as I have my heart set on
him. As for children, don't want
to have less than 12 or 15; that is

don't think I am too old to raise

you can.

The Fairy
Cobbler
By FOLGER McKINSEY
The little leaf, the gold leaf, the
green leaf and the red, v
Beside the little bench where h
labors at are snread-
And one he takes, and two he takes
sna -three he takes and four
And sews them with the fairy strand
the sunbeams wove of yore.
A brown leaf for soles, oh,
A gold leaf and red,
There sits the fairy cobbler
With his waxen-end and thread.
For all the fairy people in the hol
lows of the hill
He makes the crimson slippers, tnd
he whistles with a will;
He hums a tune at morning and he
hums a tune at night,
And there he sits a-se.ving in the
silver moonbeam's-light.
A maple leaf for slippers,
And an oak leaf strong and
brown
For shoes for little fairies
That may travel into town.
He cuts the fairy pattern with
sharp and wondrous knif
Hi straps the sole upon his knee and
sews for all his life:
His little awl goes flying as he makes
The holes for thread
The little leaf, the gold leaf the'
green leaf round him spread.
They'll come tonight and ask him
If their shoes are nearly done,
And then he'll frown and grumble,
Ann away, away they'll run.

is not a natural craving. Man is mostly

mean better health, higher efficiency, londer
life. Shredded Wlieit Biscuit is a real

costs much less. The crisp and tasty good'
