Forty-First Psalm The Ford is my car, I shall not want another. lt maketh me to lie down in muddy paths, it leadeth me to say profane words. lt tireth my soul, it taketh me into the paths of disgrace, for its namesake, yea, though I ride through the valley, I shall walk up the hill, I shall have no comfort while it is with me. It breaketh down in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, my radiator runneth over. Surely if the thing shall follow me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the bughouse forever. . -Amen. The boy sat on the moonlit deck, His head was in a whirlg His eyes and mouth were full of hair, But his arms were full of girl. He kissed her on the cheek, It seemed a harmless frolicg But now he's been laid up a week, They say with painter's colic. Jessie to Mac at piano: Play 'On the Back Porch'. Mas: How can I, there isnlt one here. WANTED-A man to undertake the sale of a new patent medi- cine. The advertiser guarantees that it will be profitable to the under- taker.

The fee simple and the sImple fee And all the fees entail, Are nothing when compared with thee, Thou best of fees-female. Johnnie: Please give me another piece of cake, mother. Mother: No more cake tonight, you will burst. Johnnie: Then pass the cake and get out of the way. Page One Hundred Eight

The Combat Out in the road two figures are engaged in an awful combat, they rush hither and thither, tearing up the earth and producing a wierd succession of sounds. They can be seen quite distinctly in the intense moonlight, one the form of a man, the other the form of a beast. Each seems to be resolved to slay the other, and several times the man is hurled to the ground. The one of our race seems to be getting the worst of the argument. Occasionally we hear an oath. It is evident that the man is fast weakening. We hear him pant and occasionally groan. The beast seems to be in a much better condition. Sometimes he gives a loud roar and seems about to flee from the battle. The battle goes on-the excitement is intense. The stillness of the air is broken only by the breathing of the combatants. They continue the struggle. Suddenly the man turns and flees. He runs down the road, sobbing as if his heart would break. The beast remains where he left it. The man, turning suddenly aside, jerks ol? his coat, flings it aside, spins thrice in the moonlight. There is an answering roar. The ilivver has started at last.
