'V aj?jiwi Hovr Mother Managed A young man presented an engagement ring to a lovely girl he had won with the remark, "I am poor, but you manage as mother does and we'll get along nicely." The young lady investigated how "mother man. aged." She was a wife, a mother, a housekeeper, a business manager, a hired girl, a laundress, a seamstress, a mender and patcher, a dairy maid, cook, a nurse, a kitchen gardener, and a 1 1 r C ;i.r general siave ivjr & lamnj vi n>^.

When I saw her polishing the stove, carrying big buckets of water and great arm fills of wood, often splitting the latter, my heart failed me, and it is needless to say the ring was returned. If the wife must drudge let the husband share it. If she must cook let him carry the fuel, if she must scrub, let him carry the water, :f I she must churn let him milk tl e cows.

Brother Jones was there, and he rose up and folded his arms and faced the music. "Brudder Jones," continued the president, "I was told de odder day dat you was three months behind on your i rent." "Yes, sah. Times am so hard dat I can't pay my rent and lib too. Been ar ?? j "BKUDDEi: THOMPSON. YOU OWE HE GROCER AND DE BUTCHER AND YOUR LANDLORD." lookin' nil ober fur work, but can't find it." "Yes, Brudder Jones, times am hard and work skeei^e, but jest what have you been doin' fur de last thirty days? Has you been hustlin' fur a job or has you been sittin' in de house most of de time writin' poetry?" "I?I lias written some poetry, sab." "So I understand. In fact, I's got one of your poems right yere in my hand. Does poetry pay house rent, Brudder Jones?" *'X-no, sah." % /'Does it buy taters and bacon?" "No, sah." X "Buy shoes fur de old woman and de chillon?" "No, sah." "Den will you kindly tell me what you been foolin' away de last thirty days fur?" "I reckoned I might sell de poetry, sah." "Oh, I see. You writ, and you reckoned you might sell de follerin' poem. De gem'len of de club will listen while I read: "Oh, de summer days am passin\ And de fall will soon be here, And de glorious watermillyon Will no longer bring us cheer. "De robins (ley will leave us soon, De bluebirds fly to hence, De roses dev vpll lose deir bloom, And de hollyhocks go whence. "It makes me sad and lonesome Fur to sec do days go 'long. Oh, would 'twas alius as today Wid Llithe and happy song! "But summer goes and autumn comes. De frost will bring its pallor, De trees will lose their vivid green, De green grass turn to yaller. "Of human beings some will pass To heaven from earth so dreary. And others will remain to live, And spring will lind 'em weary. "Brudder Jones," asked the president when he had finished reading the verses, "am dis de poem dat it took you thirty days to bring fo'th?" "Yes, sah. It took most of my time." "Jest sot right dar and run out your tongue and rolled up your eyes and thought and thought?" "I reckon so." "You am \yerry much consarncd about de robins and de bluebirds, Brudder Jones." j Silence on Brother Jones' part, j "And you seem to keer a heap mo' I ! about dyin' roses and hollyhocks dan j i you do about your back rout." i More silence. To'd to Look For Work. "Bradder Jones, do world has had j poetry ebor since dar was a man or | woman to make mad rhyme wid sad. and it will keep on want in' it to do j end. but it hain't fur you and me to ! I write if. It's fur Rockefeller and Mor- j j jran and do rich men dat have de time j to sot down and work deir brains and | I sweat deir cellars. 1 don't want to be I J arbitrary wid you. fur you seem t<> j I have de poetic instinct, but I must say i I dat if you don't hustle around and j ' strike a job and pay up your debts dis | I T ti.intiln r-1nh Trill l.-nnw Vfill liil Uli>'.

Brother Jones retired in sonietliinirof a dilapidated condition, and then the president looked around and said: "I see dat Bmdder Poker Thompson am sittin' ober dar behind de stove and roasfin' hisself. Yfiil he please come forward?" * "What lias I done?" asked Brother Thompson as he posed himself before the i !aib rrii. "Bruduer Thornpscn. you owe do sro* cer and do butcher and your landlord." "But !: w am i gwiiie to pay in dose hard times?" ; "How has you spent your last two . weeks?" "I's been jrittin' up a lecture, sab." j "Dat's what I heard. Dat lecture am ! on religun, I hear." "Yes. sail. I's swine around do ken ' try to lot de folks know dat on he Jd j of next July de world am cumin' to an I end and dey must prepare fur it. I reckon to do a heap of good and make a lot of money." "How do you get your news about de endin' up of de world 011 dat pertickler day, Brudder Thompson?" "From de Bible and de signs in de heavens, sah. Fs figgcrcd it out twenty different times, and it comes de same ebcry time. I was lookin' last night, and I saw 1110' dan tifty signs in de heavens." "Did you see your debts up dar?" "Xo, sah." "See anv shoes fur your chillen?" "De heavens don't gib out no sech signs as shoes." ' Oh, I see! Well, mebbe de heavens showed you a sign of a eull'd man bein' dropped outer de back doali of dis hall into de alley below. Whether dey did or not, you pay 'tention to what I'm sayin'. Drap dat lecture bizness. Any man, white or black, who goes i into sicli a thing am a fule. Anybody who listens to him am de same thing. You don't know no mo' about de endin' up of de world dan my ole dawg knows about playin' de fiddle, and if you keep on your name will be crossed off our books. Drap nonsense like a hot tater and find a job and git to work. I shall have an eye on you fur de next few weeks." Jackson's Ead Debts.
