In the day when we become a civil
ized people the roadside advertise-1
ments will all be gone, and as that
day approaches we may reasonably
hope to see them lessened. A great
many things will be different when we !
become civilized, and there are con
stant changes in that direction which
are encouraging when we look about
and take note of them.
OLB FAMILIAR SOUNDS
Said Jaggors: "When the old girl
hiked to the mountains with daggers,
jr., I expected to have one grand time.
Instead I am out of sorts and lone
some as well. The house is awfully
deserted looking, and although there
hasn't been any ice in the box for a ,
week, every night I go through the
ceremony of emptying the pan. This
is where you single chaps laugh. Ray,
I often used to imitate my better half’s
voice, and only for that I'd be lonlier
than ever. When 1 get ready to re
::re I go over to the bed. ‘Are you
* ;'.ke, Maria,' says I. Then I Imitate
her usual answer, which is a grunt.
Next is, ‘Are yuh jist gettin- in?’ which
I say just as she would and just as
scornful. The final sentence is: ‘What
time is it?' which I give nice and loud,
followed by my usual Ananias-like re
ply of, ‘Oh, it's qu te early,’ meaning
any time from 11 till 1 a. m.
"Then I drop my head on the pillow
and dream of gretn fields and purling
streams."—Morning Telegraph.
