AVE DNKSW AY, JUNE 7, 1011. The man who Is never fired never knows the Joy of being hired. :p: Some men are measured by the Bertlllon system and others become Senators. :0: Count that day lost whose setting sun Finds no new Lorlmer trial begun. . . :o; : ! Some one says that some people are so lazy that Instead of putting out the light they shut their eyes. :0: Vice President Sherman's experience yesterday proves that punctures like Death, are no respecters of persons. :0: Why is it that the kids who have just attained their majority always yell the loudest In "Auld Lang Syne?" :0: A negro must feel badly enough when lynched by a mob of white men, but imagine the feelings of the Mississippi negro who was lynched tho other day by a mob of his own color. ;0: : . v There are lots of people who resemble horses not because they have good horse sense but because 'they interfere. :0: "Different preachers have different, Ideas of hell. Ours is to be broke 10,000 miles from home. What's yours?" Toledo Blade. To be broke right here at home, What's yours? Philadelphia Inquirer. To bo broke. 1 :0: " It now develops that most of those beautiful speeches In the Congres sional Record which are punctuated most liberally with "great applause," "laughter and applause," etc., were never delivered at all. :0: : The "close harmony" which as usual exists in the Democratic party Is a second cousin to that exuded by a bunch of organ grinders singing the "Barber Shop Chord" on a rainy night. 1' We would hate to ,play poker with, tho man who, an Investigating committee has discovered, is drawing four separate salaries from Uncle Sam's pocketbook.- 'He'd probably draw a Royal Flush to a pair of trays. - - r.. z:.:--Qj -,r"r. ' ' ' Think of It!. Twelve Investigations of public departments are now being conducted by Congressional and Senatiorlal committees and 'four more will' be started this week. No wonder President Taft called that extra session. . :0; The hew President of the Missouri Pacific Railroad says that it will be' the policy of the road to please the people. And just then the alarm clock went off and he woke up to the real reason why railroads are In the business. -.O: Senator La Follette of Wisconsin sure can use some language. He started off this beautiful month of Juno by calling Senator Heyburn of Idaho a "bombastic fallacy" and believe us, that's something too awful to call anyone, even If you are left out of tho old man's will. :0: The failure out In Kansas City of the shoeshlning parlor which put out a sign, "Pretty girls will shine your shoes here," Is a very good in dication that we have much better uses for pretty girls hero in America than polishing number nines; or else tho girls were-homely. :0: Strike one! The Initiative! Strike Two! The Referendum! . Strike Three! Tho Recall! Batter Out!!! ; :0: "Bob" Collier, the genial proprietor of Collier's Weekly, says ho Is greatly pleased at the $500,000 'libel suit brought by "Bill" hearst, ditto of the New York Evening Journal, Bob says that a thousand dollars to spare will. buy Indirectly' an editorial by "Art" Brisbane. "BUI" says it can't. And there you are. :0: Kansas has Issued a call for 18,000 harvest hands. Think of it! Over twice the population of Honesdale and Texas township combined. And yet they talk of the "poor" farmer. Why, say, honestly, we'd rath er own a farm than have a first mortgage on Clark's Fifth Avenue man sion. ' " :p: We admire the unusual modesty with which a publishing house ad vertises a certain book as "perhaps the most Interesting book of the year." Why the "perhaps?" Why not advertise it as "the most interesting book of the year," and let It go at that? We do not understand how this one word slipped In. Unless, perhaps, pshaw, there, we've gone and used It too they have a vague suspicion that It isn't, but want to give It the benefit of the doubt. , , - : :0: . x Mil. BRYAN, GOOD NIGHT. At last, the Democratic party, long the political plaything of Wil liam Jennings Bryan, has kicked over tho traces. The Democrats in the House of Representatives have turned down tho Peerless Loser's demand for free raw wool and accepted the bill prepared by the Ways and Means Committee under the direction of the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Bir mingham, Alabama, which fixes a duty of 20 per cent, on raw wool, as compared with tho 44.31 per cent. Imposed under the Payno-Aldrlch tar iff law. By a unanimous vote they have shown the Man Who Never Wins that he cannot dictate tho Democratic policy In regard to the revision of the wool schedule. Of course, the vote on the wool question, though Important, Is, never theless of minor consideration in comparison with the effect which this unanimous repudiation of Mr. Bryan will nave on tho Democrats through out tho country. Probably It Is only the beginning of a serious break In the party and that tho fight which will now ensue between the Demo cratic leaders of the House and the proprietor of the Commoner will be carried even into tho Democratic National convention. Probably It will also result in a split between Champ Clark and W. J, These things remain to be seen, In the meanwhile let us rejoice that Mr. Bryan has been shown to a seat away back in the hall and, politely but firmly told to "sit down!"

Undor tho former system it re quired a surplus of ?10,000,000 to finance the postal service. Under present conditions Mr. Hitchcock, it is said, returns the $3,000,000 with the feeling that tho postal revenues will be more than sufficient to de fray the expenses of the postal ser vice In the present year. The Postmaster General is hope ful that if the surplus continues to grow in the next year It will be possible seriously to consider the proposition to establish 1 cent letter postago rates.

MUSINGS OF A WHISKY BOTTLE. Liuoro xrutii xnnn l'oetry.l Condemned am I by layman and priest, Beloved am I by drunkard, at least; My victim to a suicide's grave I lure Death dwelleth in mo quick and sure. I cheer the tired and soothe tho weary, Benumb the sot and make him dreary; Make the wise like stupid fools, And give them to the Devil for his tools. I've riches for those who gave me birth, And poverty for those who consume my mirth. From dram to bottle and bottle to jug, Rum's embrace to all is a death hug. They who kiss my lips, In rapture cry: "You're tho Elixir of Life," "I'll drink till I die." Tho Knaves! My spirits I freely give alike To the friend and slave, And each on the rubbish pile of Fate Finds a desolate grave. I. R. H. Harrisburg, Pa., Juno 2, 1911. HAWLEY. Special to Tho Citizen.
