I have seen some fellows spending fitly cent they get for drink. I have seen the sea- son ending with them strictly "on the blink," with a soapbox for a "keister" and no shoes upon their feet, with a collar that had ceased to give appearance nice and neat. And, mo thought, the bad condition should have shown them better wiys. that the "hard time" proposition and] the hungry Winter days would have made them think It over when the Summer season came and they fairly rolled In clover, but—they do It Just the same. Every "blow-off" week you meet It— "can you spare a caser, bo? Otherwise I'll have to beat it to the place I want to go." Now, why don't you take a tumble; be a man end save your dough and you'll never have a rumble. Ride the cushions when you go. Put a front on, buy a benny, crease your strides and Ax your heels; get a lid. I'll bet a penny that you'll like tne way it - feels. Boozing up Is bound to crab yon. Take a rip and cut It out or old Barley- corn will nab you, then choo, choo, you're up the spout. ATTENTION SHOWMEN! I want to hear from Doc. Oyler, Al. WeBt, Jean De Kreko, Col. H. C.
