INDIFFERENCE.
tT" OCTOTtS nml ministers hold 0110 thought in common," says
ilJ Dr. Copi-ljirid, New York senator-elect. "They eunnot under
sland why the average man is so indifferent to his preparation for
the future."
The doctor worries because his silly patients won't take care of
their (bodies and the minister worries because his silly parishioners
won't take care of their souls, when both agree that health of body
and soul is mostly a matcr of taking thought, and the rules are plain.
And that isn t all. if tne individual is milillcrent to tlio tilings
having to do with his own happiness," adds Dr. Copeland, "what can
bo expected of nations, which are simply great groups of indi
viduals'"
What, indeed? Since national purposes are far less clean than
those of individuals, and the more people, the harder it is to agree.
, Ho we blunder and blunder, as individuals and nations, merely
"muddling through," except for occasional great moments of insight
and clear purpose.
Hut even so, the muddling isn't all waste effort. It js by their
mistakes that people and nations learn. Democratic people insist
therefore on the right to make their own mistakes, instead of being
saved from them by paternal government.
The only trouble is tliut the process takes so long. As Lord Byron
aid, ','We live, to learn, yet slowly learn to live." Man's greatest
enemy is his own indifference. ' "

of all eyes. The back vlow of the crlt

an ax handle across the lumbar region

the main floor lies auburn colored saw

cleft asunder, the remains, adding to
the robustness of deceased. The host
wore a John B. Stetson headgear, and
his slickest smile, and the guests ex
pressed themselves as being delighted
With the wide-awake enterprise of our
townsmen.
The efforts of the hell-for-offlcloncy

When nny district is in a ferment, one naturally expects an upris
ing that will bring the scum to the top.
The faithful are humble, and there never is vulgar display of
wealth when the collection plate is passed.
Unhappiness is not occasioned by the little you possess, but the
fact that tho other fellow has more.
Charm is that indefinite something possessed by the girl who
hasn't enough good looks to justify a compliment on that score'.
It s only fair to inform the kaiser and the widow that the maga
zines ore advertising some delightful wofld tours. ,
Correct this sentence: "Hilly detests fat women," said Billy's
wife, "but I'm going to eat what I like, fat or no fut."
' j jTherb is nothing u woman enjoys quite so much as telling the
world how patiently she bears her burdens iu silence.
At any rate, a bachelor never comes in and finds a woman occupy
ing the chair where he likes to hang his hat and coat.
You don't feel so poor after going into a great department stflre
and observing how many tilings there arc you don't want.
The last argument of mediocrity consists in knocking a dompctitor.
Rockefeller says save it, and Ford says spend it. Perhaps it is a
fifty-fifty policy that keeps us all poor.
It must bo remembered, however, that if you had money enough
to buy some of the things you want, you wouldn't want the things.
That chap who says petrified wood is to be found only in the
west has very little acquaintance with Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. Dr.
Ellsworth Hunting of Yule, told the
house immlgation commltte today
that the admission of Near Easf refu
gees proposed in the pending White'
bill would not degrade tho status of
American civilians. Ho advocated
their entry, ho said, on biological
grounds, because they would bo of
higher average than tho usual run of
immigrants.
Dr. Esther Lovejoy of Portland,
Oro., who has worked among the
refugee camp3 in the Near East since
tho Smyrna, disaster;, also favored
the bill.

Correct this sentence: "Wo are too hard up this year," said tho

Now that the jails aro all empty, the ships all scrapped, and wars

IRON JUSTICE.
MY COUSIN", Charles Augustus, is sore on modern justice, be
ho makes an enrncst wail; for ho was pinched for speeding,
and, heedless of his pleading, they sentenced him to jail. Iicfore
the peelers nailed him, before the jurist jailed him, he used to
talk a lot about the locoed voters who speeded up their motors
their conduct made him hot. "Mere fines will never punish these
speedsters wild ahd Ilunnish," I often heard him say; "in prison
let them languish; perchance such dole and anguish will make
them change their way. No matter what their standing, I hope
to see them landing in prison for their crimes; mere fines won't
mako them wriggle; they merely grin and giggle as they dig up
the dimes." ml after all this talking a peeler caught him rocking
his old tin bus along, at fifty miles or faster, and since this dread
disaster he says jail terms a Are wrong. "Our bulwarks arc for
gotten, our institutions rotten," he says, in sombre tones, "when
people law-abiding are jailed for slowly riding, and fed on musty
bones. Where is our boasted freedom when men who never speed
'e mare pinched for driving curs, and jailed with common felons
and fed on last year's melons, behind tho rusty bars? I do not
call it justice," says Cousin Charles ugustus, "when one of high
estate, n man renowned in letters, is loaded down with fetters
like some cheap tinhorn skate."
