HE A BOOSTER.
"Do you know there's a lot o' people
Settin' round In every town.
Growlln, like a broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o' cattle,
'Cause they ain't no use on earth;
You Just be a booster rooster.
Crow and boost for all you're worth.
"If this town needs boobtln' boost'er,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If Borne other feller's willin.
Sail right in, this country's free;
No one's got a mortgage on it, .'-". .
It's just yours, as much as his
If the city's shy on boosters.
You get in the boosttn' biz.
"If things don't just seem to suit you
And the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with the boostln'
Just to help the thing along?
'Cause If things should stop-a-goin'
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep that horn-a-blowin'
Boost ber with all your might.
"li you see some feller tryin' '
For to make some projee'e go,
You must boost it up a trifle,
That's your clew to let him know
That you're not a-going to knock it,
Just because it ain't your shout,
But youre goin' to boost a little,
'Cause we've got the best thing on "
WHEBE THE HAND OF GOD IS
SEEN.
Do I like the city, stranger?
'Tisn't likely that I should,
'Tisn't likely that a ranger
From the border ever could
Get acquainted with the fury
And the loud unearthly nc!fie.
Everybody ir a hurry.
Men and women, gals an' boys
All a nishln' like the nation
'Mid the rumble and the jar.
Just as if their soul's salvation
Hung upon their gettin' thar.
Like it? No! I love to wander
, 'Mid tne vales and mountains gree;:
In the border land out yonder
Where the hand of God is seen.
Nothin' here but brick an' mortar
Towering overhead so high
That you never see a quarter
Of the overhangin' sky.
Not a tree nor grassy medder.
Not a runnin' brook in sight,
Nothin' but the buildings' shad'tr
Shuttin' out the Heaven's light.
&TrustCo.
Cars and carts and wagons rumblin'
Down the street with deafnln' roar
Drivers swearin', yellin', grumblin'
Just like inip3 from sheol's shore, .
7"actories joining in the chorus
Helpin' of the din o swell,
Auctioneers in tones sonorous,
Lyln' 'bout the goods they sell:
Like it? No! I love to wander
'Mid the vales and mountains greer.
Mong the rural districts yonder
Where the hand of God is
Even the birds are all imported
- From away" across the sea;
Faces meet you all distorted
By the hand of misery.
Like it? No! I love to wander
'Mid the vales and mountains green,
In the border land out yonder
Where the hand of God is seen.
Rumblin' railroad trains above you
Streets by workmen all defaced,
Sverybody tryin' to shove you
In the gutter in their haste.
fes I love the western border;
Pine trees wavin' in the air;
Rocks piled up in rough disorder;
Birds a slngln' everywhere.
Deer a playln' in their gladness;
Elks a feedin in the glen;
Not a trace o' care nor sadness,
Campln' on the trail o' man.
Brooks o' crystal clearness flowln'
O'er the rocks an' lovely flowers
In their tinted beauty growin',
'Mid the mountains' dell and bowers.
Fairer picture the Creator
Never threw on earthly screen
Than that lovely home of Nature
Where the hand of God is seen.
Clipped.
An exchange says: Here is
a minister who appreciates the
editor. At a recent editorial
convention he offered the fol-
owing toast: "To save an edi
tor from starvation, take his
paper and pay for it promptly.
To save him from despair, send
him every item of news of
which you can get hold. To
save him from profanity write
your correspondence on one side
of the sheet and send it in as
arly as possible. To save him
from mistakes, bury him. Dead
people aie the only ones who
never make mistakes."
Nobody knows human nature
better than the editor. He takes
more kicks and cuffs than any
other business man in the com
munity and says the least about
it. But he learns as the years
go by to take people for what
they are worth. He measures
them up. He places everyone
on his roll where they belong,
God and the editor knows pretty
much about them and gives them
their proper rating, be they
among the saints or sinners. So
when you get puffed up and
put on airs remember that all
things that are right and just
will be measured up to you and
those things which are full of
folly and selfish pretense are
also recorded though they may
not appear in print. Higgins,
Texas, News.
THE GERMAN FLORIST.
She was the lady of his choice
and he took no pains to conceal
it.
"I'll bet you don't know fhat
day tomorrow h," she announc
ed suddenly.
"Why, Tuesday, of course,"
he answered in a puzzled tone.
"Oh, I don't mean that kind of
a day. I knew you didn't
know." I
" I don't know. Wat do you
mean?" he replied helplessly.
"Well, I guess I'll have to tell
you. bhe pretended she was
hurt. "It wil be my birthday,"
"Congratulations, Alice, Con
gratulations," he exclaimed en
thusiastically. "And how old
may" ,
"That's for you to find out,"
she answered laughing.
"Well, I bet I know."
"You do?"
"Yes, and I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll send you a rose for
every year of your life. How
will that do?" -
At the florists he found the
assistant unoccupied.
"Send Miss Casey eighteen of
your best roses tomorrow morn
ing. You know the address
Eighteen. Your best. Under
stand?" The boy understood: v
Half an hour later the pro
prietor was looking over the
order book.
'What did Mr. Graham order
today?" ' ' '
."Eighteen roses, sir," answer
ed Willie.
"Eighteen? He's a pretty
good customer. Throw in a doz
en more." Norman E. Mack's
National Monthly.
TWO SIDES TO EVERY-
THING.
A little boy was given too
much underdone pie for sup
per and was soon roaring lustily.
His mother's visitor was visi
bably disturbed.
"If he wa3 my child;" she
said, "he'd get a good sound
spanking."
"He deserves it," the mother
admitted, "but I don't believe in
spanking him on a full
stomach." -
"Neither do I," said the visi
tor, "but I'd turn him over."

AMPLE REASON.
Ai perhaps every newspaper
reader knows, the capital city of
Nebraska is "dry." And it
claims to be the largest city in
America that has abolished the
open saloon by its own local op
tion vote. While the campaign
was at its height a couple of
union men were talking about it
in front of the Labor Temple.
One of them, a printer, remark
ed: "I am going to vote'er 'dry'.
this time, and work my head off
trying to get other fellows to do
the same."
. This was a surprise, for the
printerman was opposed to the
'dry' policy the year before, al
though the "drys" won then by
a big majority.
"What's your reason for vot
ing 'dry' this time?"
the other union man.
