FATTY ARBUCKLE.
TIIE REINSTATEMENT of Patty Arbucklo by Mr. Will Hays
means very little indeed. No ono can reinstate Fatty Arbuckle
but public opinion and this will take time. It will also take active
co-operation on the part of Fatty
Although Arbucklo was acquitted of murder, his general char-
aeter and moral pense, wcro convicted before the bar of public opiii
tion. "f ho American people are not prudes,, they love fair play, they
don't care to kick a man when he is down, but they do like to laugh
without mental or moral reservations.
Since the San Francisco incident, with the grim hand of doath
halting an orgy of sordid debauchery, there has been little humor in
the public contemplation of Fatty Arbuckle. There may have been
sympathy, a certain tolerance, but no mirth.
It was mirth, which can only thrive in a wholesome atmosphere
Upon which the Arbucklo reputation was built and from which his in
come was derived. No waving of the executive wand by Mr. Hays
can bring back what tragedy lias taken away.' Timo may, .with, pa
tient effort on the part of the principal concerned, alter tliis
public attitude, but that timo has not yet arrived. "

.NOT WPRTH
IT'S vain to get excited if wrongs should go unsighted, it 's vain
to weep and moan, and tear your beard to bitters, for nothing
really matters, and nothing's worth a groan. .If, gnashing teeth
and ranting, and frenzied gallivanting, would! cure a .single ill,
I'd say, "Why, then, get busy, and whoop untfl you're dizzy, it's
sinful to be still." When troubles gather round' me, attempting
to confound me, T.do not shed a sigh; I know Jh'nt 'by tomorrow
my 1 it t It! buneh of sorrow will shrivel up and dip. For troubles
perish early unless woVe sore and surly, and mjdte of 'them our
pets; tho wise man winks at trouble, and blows a soup-suds bub
ble, and slumbers and forgets. Oh, why got madias hatters, when
nothing really hint tort, when nothing's hero to s)hiyf The gusty
wind now rising-with energy 'surprising will blinv our griefs
away. Hero liothing is a fixture, and life's a qiieer old mixture
of sigh and sneeze and smile; the years are onwaiil sweeping, uuJ
anything like weeping is never worth our white. Tho sighing
man's n rabbit, and weeping is a habit that slintld disgrace u
loon; ami slill the briny splatters, though liothinjg really matters,
we go awav so soon. .

. To tl)o Editor:
Here is a conversation between
two little boys, nnd I think shows how
tho people' of today ure raising the
ones of tomorrow or the next genora
tln. These nro not the names, but I
will say Bill nnd Jack.
"Hallow Jack, how are you?"
"Oh! Klndn blue," said Jack.
Bill "Why?"
Jack -"Oh. 'cause It's comin'
Christmas nnd- no money, and Ma
says I' enn't have any shoes 'cause
Mng has to buy Sam somcthln" 'cause
ho in gonta get her somothin'."
Bill "Well, that's the way. Dad
Bays we hnvo to do .without butter
till Chrlstmns and cut out tho shows
and a lot of things, runup Ma and Sis
lias to give a lot of things to some
of. their friends nnd he jus" ' can't
make ends meet, and he has ta help
Bob get his girl somcthln' and that
takes lots of dough, you. bet!". .
Jack -"Well, that's all Chrlstmns
is nnyway."
Bill "Yes, Just n lot of foolish
ness nnd I wish It had never come."
Jack "And so do I."
Is this Chrlstmns spirit? The chil
dren of 9 nnd 10 used to think of
Christmas as a jolly timo. Wo didn't
expect mich, but the mystery with
which- it was surroundod. was what
counted. ' But now .our children get
old too young. Yours Truly,

Is howling its head off because Cor
