Quite Necesscry

Ifit hadn't been for lumber, Where would we be today?

We wouldn't be at all, at all, That's what f'm here to say. For when the floods were roaring, And all earth's skies were dark, If there had been no lumber, There would have been no ark.

If there had been no lumber, The good old USA Would still be undiscovered, That's what I'm here to say. Columbus had his visions, His charts and trusted notes. But the whole wild trip depended, On three small wooden boats.

If there had been no lumber, What would Mount Vernon be?

A sorry mass of crumbling stone, Or so it seems to me.

But now we hail Mount Vernon, The home of Washington, It's built of sturdy lumber, Ilnmarred by storm and sun.

If there were now no lumber, What would we do today?

We'd have a funny time of it, That's what I'm here to say.

We'd have no shingl'es, posts, and shakes, No paneled walls and doors, No wooden beams and pickets, No handsome polished floors.

Jellerson On Lcwyers in Con€rress

f served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia, before the Revolution, and, during it, with Doctor Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any one but the main point, which was to decide the question.

They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?-Thomas Jefferson.

A Philcrnthropist

The little boy was crying, and the passing gentleman stopped and kindly asked him what was the trouble.

"My Dad is a rich philanthropist," said the little boy, sobbing anew.

"fs that something tocry about?" asked the kindly gentleman.

"It sure is," said the sad little boy. "fle gave me five dollars today, but only on condition that I raise a like amount."

He Didn't Understcnd Either

A lumberjack with a broken leg was brought into a hospital in the Northern lumber woods, and, after the leg was set and a nurse was helping make him comfortable, she asked him how the accident happened.

"You see, Ma'am, it was this way," he said. "I was skyhooking fo:' the Weyerhaeuser gang, and I had only one ground mole. He sent up a big blue butt, and she was heavy. I saw her yaw, and hollered for him to throw a St. Croix into her. fnstead the blankety blank idiot gave her a sag, and gunned her, and she wopplejawed around and cracked my pin."

"I don't seem to understand," said the bewildered nurse. "Neither do I," said the llrmberjack. "The blame fool must have been crazy."

Scid Bussell Scrge:

"The best way for a young man without friends or influence to begin business is: first, get a job; second, keep his mouth shut; third, observe; fourth, be faithful; fifth, make his employer think he'd be lost in a fog without him."

The Treasure Ship

Can you guess, children dear, What the Treasure Ship brings, As she sails into harbor today?

Is it diamonds, or rubies, or jewels, Or ringsIs it something more precious

Than all of these things?

Can you guess what the Treasure Ship brings? Is it gold that will make Miser's riches seem small?

Who would exchange Happiness for it all?

'Tis not that the good Treasure Ship brings. No, 'tis a dream ship I'm writing about; Welcome the Captain-Oh, we'll wildly shout. For the Dream Ship has brought us the best gift of all, A new home for mother and dad and us all.
