Rippling Rhymes.
1ARM AND CITY
The hours of night bring calm re
pose upon the quiet farm; the weary
husban.lmun there knows sweet slum
ber's fullest charm. Refreshed in spir
it, brain and brawn, he rises, wearing
bells when dlpply roosters greet the
dawn with idiotic yells. How different
It is In town, where weary people
weep; in vain the laborer lies down to
have a slice, of sleep. The streets ate
full of strident noise that jars the
nightly fchades. and giddy girls and
buoyant boys sing ragtime serenrulej.
And batty speedsters whiz along In
whanging motor cars, and greet with
yells and ribald song the pale, disgust
ed stars. " Belated plugs, with noisy
hoofs, to stables gallivant, and vagrant
cats on metal rooms attempt a bug
house chant. And so the man who
needs his sleep becomes a ghastly
wreck; and in the morn he cannot
keep from muttering, "By heck!" A
right of sleep would soothe his soul,
and heal life's sores and stings, but
itiornina: finds him In the hole, and he
exclaim, "By jlngs!" .

A lady received the following reply
from a neighbor in answer to a ques
tion as to why she allowed her chil
dren and her husband to litter up ev
ery room In the heuse. The sentiment
will find lod,?ment in the heart of
very home loving person In the land:
"The marks of little muddy feet
upon the floor can be more easily re
noved than the stains where the lit
tle feet go Into the highways of sin.
Tlxe prints of the little fingers upon
the window jnnes cannot shut out the
unshine half so much as the shadows
that darken the mother's heart over
the one who will be but a name in
the coming years.
"And if my John finds home a
i-efuge from care and his greatest
happiness within its four walls, he
can put his boots In the rocking chair
aud hang his hat on the floor any
day in the week. And if I can stand
it and he enjoys it, I cannot see that
it is anybody's business." S. R. Bulletin.

PERHAPS the most memcient body in the worm is tne
United States senate. No other aecreszation of men
talk so much and do so little and take themselves so ser
iously. Any private business managed by such a body of
incompetents would be hopelessly bankrupt. "
Since convening last December the present session
has spent its effort playing politics. None of the great
reconstruction measures outlined by the president have
been enacted. Peace is as far off as ever and the league
of nations still on the distant horizon of dreams.
Without constructive ability of its own, the senate
can only employ its energies in destruction. Offering- no
solution of the problems confronting the nation, it sav
agely assails those offered by the executive. Without
vision for the future, it is absorbed in ward caucus pol
itics while the nation drifts helplessly in a sea of unrest.
The senate's unfailing solution of national ills is in
vestigation, with the object of creating political capital.
It has spent a year investigating without action. War ex
penditures, high cost of living, Bolshevism, railroads,
strikes and every other issue has been met with an offi
cial investigation in which some peanut politician sought
glory.
Abuse of those who have done something is the sen
ate's occupation and recreation. It has the sluggards hat
red for the doer. Day in and day out these public para
sites have poured their demagogic venom over the presi
dent, over Hoover, over Pershing, over all those with a
record of accomplishment seeking thereby personal pub
licity to promote their individual candidacies for office.
The fact that the senate refuses to vote on the peace
treaty and may adjourn without action upon it, thereby
lengthening the period of uncertainty, unrest and discord,
and prolong indefinitely the period of reconstruction,
should surprise no one. In so acting the senate is merely
true to form. The great surprise would be if after 125
days continuous debate, it acted definitely upon anything.
- READJUSTMENT. ' '
When they have finished break
fast," I said to myself, "John will bring
the man over and introduce him to
me." And I somewhat surreptitiously
glanced into one of the long mirrors
with which the room was adorned.
Although in our hurry, we had-taken
no baggage from Helen's,. I was very
glad that my dark blue-serge was irre
proachagly cut and tailored, and that
I had early formed the habit of putting
an extra lace collar in my hand bag.
I had hardly finished these reflections
when to' my surprise John and the
man walked out of the room without a
glance in my direction.
"Why, he has absolutely forgotten
me! Forgotten he is married!"
I felt the tears spring to my eyes
and then I laughed. "Did ever a bride
have such an experience before?" My
sense of humor saved me.
Even then I did not realize that with
John the idea of the moment, .the na
tion of the moment, was all engrossing
that he was able to sweep his mind
clear of everything except the matter
upon which he was bent. . Many times
since then I have thought of this and
I have come to the opinion that this
is one of the reasons why men, as a
rule, are more successful in their un
dertakings than women. Wre women
are too diffuse.
I have never known anything or any
one that has made It possible for me
to dismiss entirely from my conscious
ness, John Gordon, my husband.
Yet I have had many other interests,
amusements, duties and distractions.
Perhaps it is because of this that I
have not made a success of marriage
If I, too, could have forgotten John for
a little time I might have made my
self more necessary tq him made him
feel that I was worth pursuing again
I wish I had felt this that morning.
Instead, I was very young, and al
though I laughed, there was a hurt
feeling all the same.

SOME 400,000 coal miners are on strike in the bitumin
ous coal fields for a 60 per cent increase in wages,
and a five day six hour week.
In New York drivers for butchers and provision deal
ers are on strike for a 6-hour day and a scale running
from $102 minimum to $245.50 a week.
In Pacific coast cities, tailors are on strike for a 45-
hour week with a wage scale of $1.00 an hour, including
iuli pay lor holidays when no work is performed.
Thousands of other strikes are in progress all over
the country. Some of the strikes are justified by condi
tions; others are political and with the avowed intention
of confiscating property and bringing on revolution, all
symptoms of national unrest.
Profiteering, the high 'cost of living, the spread of
Bolshevism, and the passions aroused by the world war
are all contributing causes. Capital has been too greedy,
workers have curtailed production and .lowered efficiency
and alien vagaries have replaced the good old American
doctrine of toil and thrift.
The nation is passing through a trying ordeal-the
period of reconstruction, readjustment of the old order to
fit the new. Whether it weathers the crisis will depend
upon the loyal co-operation of every lover of his country.
Reaction and l'adicalism are equally dangerous. Progress
can only come through the rule of reason.
Increased production will lower the cost of living, the
law of supply and demand will eventually eliminate pro
fiteering. Bolshevism will go the way of other ""isms"
and crazes and if law and order and common sense pre
vail, stable conditions will gradually obtain and life re
sume the normal.

As I look back upon It now, it seems
to me that John's feelings toward mo
suffered iv change from the moment
he heard the words:; "I pronounce thee
man and wife."
Those very words tell the story:
John was still "man" but I had become
"wife."
In some Indefinable way, John seem
ed to have gotten the idea that .the
wooing was over. I know that uncon
sciously I had this feeling, and for th
first- time since I had known John I
tremulously asked, as I raised my face
to his for the frlst nuptial kiss:
"Do you really love me?"
lTp to this time it had been John who
had asked me over nnd over ngain if I
leally loved him. But instead of ask
ing me n gul n he brusquely answered:
"Why. of course I do. Haven't I
married you?"
That was John's Idea of humor, and
because it is never mine, we have for
ever quarreled on the definition of the
word. ' :
The morning after we were married.
John left mo to go down Into the din
ning roam, saying: "Don't be long.

Would Like Secret
For Looking Well
"Two weeks ago I weighed 96 lbs.
Now I weigh 105 lbs. and feel perfect
ly well. Anyone I see suffering I tell
them of what Mayr's Wonderful Rem

to know what makes m look so well.
Your medicine has also been a real
life saver for my mother. I cannot

Kate. I'll order breakfast and look at
the paper."
When I reached the dining room I
found a number ot things which I
never eat placed in an orderly row
about my plate, but no John. For a
moment my heart stood still nnd I won
dered if I had been too long In dress
ing. Then I decided that it had not
been more than ten minutes and began
to eat the fruit and toast which I se
lected from the other food.
Calling n waller, I asked him to
take everything but the toast and cof
fee-away .and then in as careless a
manner as I could summon, I asked:
"Did Mr. Gordon finish his break
fast so quickly?"
"No, inndame. just as he was order
ing he saw- a friend across the room
nnd he asked me to serve your break
fast here and his with his friend.'
I looked over into a far corner of
the dining room and saw John sitting
at a tnblo with a very dignified person
age, a man of perhaps fifty years. In
a mome it, T Intuitively understood the
whole transaction. John hud seen this
man, wli.i was probably one of his best
clients, or one he would like to secure,
ami had gone over to talk business
with him dining the breakfast hour.
My self-explanation satisfied me
and I composedly settled myself to fin
ish my breakfast, wishing all the time
that John had left me his morning pa

who has returned from a trip to the
border.
Elliott said that Colonel Mayo, com
