YOURSISTER
By H. M. Cochran.
There is one little job that a boy
should ,do well
To earn right his-title of Mister;
The right sort of fellows-you always
can tell
By the way they look after their
sister.
They are, as folks say, of the gentler
sex,
They're timid, demure and they're
sweet;
Treat 'em fair, on the square, that's
the every day text
Of the fellow who's showing dis
creet. You can't play father to a sister of
yours,
You can't be her mother that's
true;
. But you can look' out through all she
endures
And teach her to look up to you..
Keep an eye on the sort of fellows
she meets,
A girl's up against it alone;
Advise her, at night, to, keep off the
streets;
Do this all in a brotherly tone.
Some day you'll be thankful for all
that you've done,
You'll beloved for it after a while;
Keep on watch from the day that her
life is begun,
Help mould out her manner and
style.
All told, it will help out that sister a
lot,
She'll appreciate all that you do;
And then you will find, through your
being kind, . .
I It has made a good fellow of you.

INCONSISTENCY
Poet You said the other day in
your paper that poverty is not a
crime.
Editor Well?
Poet And yet you decline my
verses simply because you say they
are poor.
WHY FOLIAGE IS WORN ON THE
UPPER LIP
The mustache first came intoy
vogue in the 14th century when the '
Christians and the Mohammedans
were at war in Spain. Some Moors
were Christians, but all Moors wore
beards, the Christians wishing to dis
tinguish themselves from the in
fidel, shaved the hair on their faces
so as to resemble a cross. A narrow,
horizontal line of hair was left on the
upper lip and another perpendicular
line remained on the chin.
Prom that time the mustache has
been popular in all countries, regard
less of the wearer's religious tenden
cies. .
