C. Slack) There are always things contrary seeming to disturb the home, And no doubt 'twill always be so to the days of Kingdom Come, Every household has its discords, this most everybody knows, But they're only go-betweenings; very seldom come to blows. Up at Hiram Brewster's dwelling skies at times are none too bright, For the Brewsters are but mortal and mankind is prone to fight. I don't mean to say with bludgeons they lay one another out, But at times, adverse opinions lead up to a wordy bout. Now the Brewster's as a family were not given much to strife, But defective prohibition served t> mar their peaceful life. The motherly Mrs. Brewster looked with 'favor on the cause, And was making every effort to up- hold its biased laws; She was an active member of the Carrie Nation crew, And her home headquarters the temperance "rag'" to chew. There they'd hold their secret meet- ings, strive to ways and means de- fine. To defeat the liberal moderates who demanded beer and wine. Hiram Brewster, liberal-mindad, sneered at prohibitions' grip, For Mke all his :porty comrades, he @xjoyed his little nip. So-when prohibition kill-joys went and marked their ballots dry, Acting with a lot of forethought he laid in a good supply. He had rye and gin and brandy, bought at clear-out bargains cheap; But as other earthly treasures, some- how "joy-stuff" does not keep, Brewster's soon evaporated, down to one jug, then to none; In remorse he there decided ha'd distil some of his own. He secured receipts from Skinner, his trusty moonshine friend; In fact receipts were easy, he coald get them to no end. They comprised all kinds of herbag», from redpepper down to sage, And the "kick" depends entirely on the time you give to age He selected one of raisins and he put the stuff to soak, Then he hid it in the stable 'til it started in to smoke; Then he took it to the sugar-shanty 'way back on the farm, And distilled some coffin-varniih which his friends said was a charm, To the bone-dry Mrs. Brewster this was sure a bitter pill She grew distant and unfriendly to- wards Hiram and his still. But Brewster said: "You women wi'l need another kink "Before you corner everything but water here to drink. "You may run and tell the 'kill-joys' and with them may weep and wail, "But I'm going to-p the 'joy-stuft' 'til they land mé in the jail." Mrs. Brewster called a meeting of the Carrie Nation crew, For to talk the matter over and |. consider what they'd do. TEL.I092 VICTORIA ST. KING STON.ONT As the meeting was important every Bone-Dry Mary-Jane, They went down to Mrs. Brewster's for she sure would entertain. * She-was sure to give a luncheon, and a tea-drink when they met. 209-303 Queen Street FROST'S PHONE 32¢ MOTOR CAR REPAINTING The Same Superfine Lasting Finish The Best is the Cheapest--The Lustre Lasts And Brewster had decided to mace . this meet good and wet. -- He had just run off a portion, it was certainly dead-shot, And hired Tillie of the kitchen for to dose the '""Boolong" pot, So when they en masse assemblad to decide on Brewster's doom, It: couldn't be considered as a paus- ing cloud of gloom. One suggested tar-and-feathers as a dose for the disgrace; Another sald that flogging wouldn't be much out of place; 211 Princess Street GRAVES BROS.

They came to no decision on which all could agree, And the hostess, Mrs. Brewster, moved that all adjourn for tea. When Tillie served the "Boolong" all pronounced it extra good, And very soon the Carries all were in the jolliest mood. They drank toasts to each other with long and lingering sups, It kept Tillie busy brewing -- some Prepared Bitinumous Coal for use in Furnaces, Quebec Heaters and $15.00 PER TON SOWARDS COAL CO PHONE 165.

The talk grew fast and furious, than they parted in to sing, And ome o'er joyous damsel did for them the Highland fling, The hilarious Mrs. Brewster did the "shimmy" dance in style; > There was not a weary moment-- something doin' all the while They were hugging one another and were trying every trick, One dame was demonstrating to the crowd how she could kick.

Soon they started to get drowsy, then to see them was a sight, And a lot that gathered there that day didn't go home that night. The next morning, very early, Mrs. Brewster, feeling sore, She discovered that some Carries had been sleeping on the floor, They all hurried to the kitchen, Not An Expense Wage earners should realise that life ingurance policies are am investment, mot am expense.
