in the gears which chewed it all

in -a corner with poor
Pheifer standing on his head
`while the cycle lay on top spin-
while the cycle lay on top pinning
him down, all but his feet. He
kept kicking and had he been on.
a bicycle would have been going
90 miles an hour. He had on a
new pair of overshoes and some

Anyway, he probably will keep
his hands in his pockets, instead
of feeling thing-a-rna-thoodles that
is none of his business and he
knows nothing about.

makers' kids never has shoes.
This man has snow plows, snow
blowers, backhoes, snow loaders,
but his lane was blocked. He stop-
ped where the darn stuff was
up as high as Pike's Peeks. I

it, and away he goes. NOW the

arrived, MiW I don't understand
these eoncenfrates which he was
fixing up fur 25 ewes. A good
healthy Scotsman or Clark John-
ston could have eaten the whole
works and would then be ready
for bacon and eggs. He has a good
bunch of sheep with the exception
of one ewe. T-Ter wool is hanging
down and she puts me in mind of
a weeping willow tree. Poor be-
draggled, befuddled, and; bewild-

roosting was five hens, They
opened one eye at him and Ignor-
ed me completely; They were old
when the first automobile arriv,
ed in Brussels. T say.% are your
hens laying? Says he, no they're
not, but you will be laying on
your hack unless you get that
sneer off your ugly rape., He then

not enough grain. I walked out

GOLDEN WORDS
MANNERS MAKYtt-i MAN
When t was young T used to hear
That "manners inakyth man";
Now travel far and travel near.
Find manners if Yeti can.
We're all in such it hurry nosy,
For business or for place,
Not one has time to Make a how
Or greet a ftiendly Rice.
When T was young, We used to
The rich aswell as peot.
Rejoicing old and yotmg to Meet
Around the old church door:
But• now we. toss our heads and
sneer,
Pesti in — as best we can;
For no one cares a jot to heat
That "manners makyth. man,"
0! for the ancient "gentilesse"
Of days. long, long, ago;
0! for the old-world couttilitiess,
So sweet to high and Tow;
(..)! for the grand old reverencei,
That. honours all It can;
Displaying in the tritest sense,
That "man ners makyth Mon".

OP light that, men are :eV., to

So first improve yourself t6-day.
And then improve your Mends
