Why the Rents Have Gone Up.

“This seems to be a pretty nice little town,” remarked a stranger to a Newman man. “Well, yes, tolerable.” “Are rents high here?” “Purty high now, but they were low until a few days ago, ” replied the Newman man. “Why, how does it happen that rents have gone up?” “Well, last week there was a prarmeetin’, and then the rents were down to our knees, but this week we started a skeetin’ rink and most of the rents in the boys’ breeches have gone up purty nigh to their waistbands!”— Newman Independent. Above all other earthly ills, 1 hate the big, old-fashioned pills; By slow degrees they downward wend, And often pause, or upward tend; With such disconiiort are they fraught, Their good effects amount to naught.
