, Humor ma Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH PICK OUT THE GOOD. Good may be found in everything, In chart as well as wheat; Although the bulli’rog cannot sing, His legs are good to eat; The snake that crawls along our path Of use to some one is, And even he a virtue hathâ€"â€" His oil cures rheumatiz. Some at the thieving crow may rail Because he waxeth fat; But, though he won’t adorn a. tale, His tail adorns a hat. The worthless pup with ragged ear, 0t low and yellow grade, May later in the month appear As sausage for the trade. The humble rat, whose usefulness \Vould seem to be the least, To give a wild and random guess, Might grace a Chinese feast. So the mosquito, though in him Is hard to seem joke, He gives the man whose wife is prim A good excuse to smoke. Thus, chasing up and down the line, In every creature, great or fine, Some angle or some curve That shows some praises are their due. But it is hard to note The streak of virtue running through The man who rocks the boat. Reading Chinese. It must be lots of fun to learn to read silhinese. I often thought when I had :nothing else to do I Would take a few «centuries off and learn to read the language. Not that I care anything particular about it, only I would like to be able to throw back at the China- :man the superior glance he gives me when I look over my laundry ticket to see if he has spelled all of the words right. It must cause joy unspeakable, cer- tainly unprintable, to be able to sit \down with a Chinese cheap labor cigar .and a Chinese newspaper and be able to tell whether wheat or the Russian navy has gone down overnight. or course, I may be mistaken, not ‘being able to understand the signs, but it would seem as though the Chi- .nese paper should be popular in America, because to me every separate rand distinct character on the page looks like a complete account or a prize fight, or, at least, the details of one round. .â€" £0 The Milkman. He lives no lan- guid life 01 ease. Joy hardly fills his cup. In winter time his well may freeze; In summer it dries up. E l? All Could Climb. “There are plenty of lower berths on the train, but every upper is occupied.” “Isn't that a peculiar state of at- fairs?" “Well rather, but not under the cir- acumstances. You see, they are dele‘ gates to a woman’s convention and it was understood that the lowers were 1to be left to the older members of the gparty." Good For Something. “The girls go to sleep while he is :ialking to them.” “Why doesn’t he put himself on the market as a cure for insomnia?” An Exception. Her diamond was a shining rock, And,though display she scorned, She really couldn't take much stock In beauty unadorned. Should Tickle Him. “It was funny enough to make a Eliot'se laugh." "Must have been a joke about a dis- :ablcd automobile." Just to Their Liking. 110 salted a mine for the eastern trade. By treatment of that kind, he reasoned, More palatable thus to the taste it was made Oi! those who were not well seasoned. 1 _â€"_â€"~ Impossible Conditions. I "A girl should never kiss a man un- less she is engaged to him.” “But I don’t want to be engaged to all of the men I happen to know." Locating It. “He appears to have a fortune in his . mine.” “Only in his mind." “hick May Cost Later On. Things that are free are little worth- At least so we are toldâ€" But, oh. the only thing on earth \\'orth having is not sold; IThe lover's kiss is always free, ' And it is good enough for me. Why She Hitched Up. “What in the world did she ever marry that man for?" “Well, she thought he would be I good man to tie to." *3 .1.‘..»..e.:.'=â€"â€" . .. .
