I capture some trenches each day before noon; Oh, I’m so blamed wild thev can’t tame me. Then maybe the White House is ofiered to me, The click of the rails is what sends it.

When Anna Crackkerjackl ar- rived at the Squewee County Fair the greased pig contest was on. Little did she know that ft ‘was to affect her whole | .ife. The pig was very slippery and eluded all who tried to capture it. But suddenly a stalwart youth appeared. “I will catch that pig if a certain girl will marry me,” he said. He looked at Anna. Anna looked at him. He was nono ether than Arthur Wow, known to many as Ice-Cream Arthur. So much faith had Anna ia the pig that she cried: “She will.” As Wow started after the pig Auna, gowned in sauerkraut HE Chautauqua Drama Board met yesterday at the Hotel Pennsylvania to discuss plans for its forthcoming play contest.

Wow found it dim cult to hold the pig, as it would slip from his grasp like wet soap from one’s hand, But he thought only of the prize. “Whango!” It was a shot. It rang out, startling all present Arthuc Wow hesitated. He fear rival was shooting at him. “Who done that?” | Sheriff Bangs had spoken. Bonehead Brewster stuck his head up over a hedge. “Good morning, dear!” he said to Anna. The pig bounded through a hole in the fence. Wow was mad. “Will you marry me?” he said to Anna. Then did she reply: “See me a week from Tuesday.” The Sheriff was greatly mys- tified. It all seemed so absurd. (To be continued.) George Is Jealous. Have you heard of the sad case of George Meyers?

He lives hext door, and from his "window he can look into the par- lor from which the boot chased him, Lately he has noticed another .ad making love to the lady and, say— look at this rhyme George has writ- ten: How he woos her! How he toooe her! Aa they park on parlor couch, While I gaze out of my window At their actions, and a grouch Seems to overcome my feelings, For a week or #0 before I sat on the couch beside her, Spilling nothings by the score; And I wonder as I sit here, Will he also meet my fate? For her old man's boot aroused me And I got a hurried gate. I'd already pawned my astickpin, 'Twasn't gold, but good enough; With the proceeds bought her candy, Making good my finance bluff. Now she’s got another Johnny, Maybe he'll escape dad's doot, But he'll not escape her gimmicea, Neither did this poor galoot.
