Wit in poetry is being directed against
the trailing skirt. Perhaps the submis'
siye tone Of the following may have
more influence than open criticism:
What lovely woman wills to do
She does without reason
To interfere Is o waste Of time,
To criticise Is treason.
Mans only province is 20 work
To earn his bread and butter
And buy her all the skirts she wants
To trail along the gutter.

Jim would certainly hide behind one OF

NEGROES EAT SNAKES.
Uncanny Discoveries Of A Scientist in Dis
NAL swamp.
Baltimore Suu.


The fact that snakes are eaten by
Virginia negroes is one Of the recent
discoveries made by the Department OF
Agriculture. Il has always been taken
for granted that q genuine swamp dar'
key could masticate anything, from
horseshoe nails aud billy.goat tin cans
up to elephant hide, bat not even a
scientist supposed that he could digest
half. cooked snakes in the Wholesale FASH
ion that prevails around the region Of
the Dismal Swamp When DR.. II. b.
Frissell, principal Of the Hampton Nor
NAL and Agricultural Department, was
sent down to investigate the diet OF the
Dismal Swamp negro he made few
rather startling discoveries.
The dusky inhabitants Of that region
are almost savsges. This swamp dar'
key throws up a rude shack that Is lit-
tie better than hut Of boughs. and here
10 the heart of the forest, he rears his
family. Snakes. swapping turtles and
eels form the chief articles Of his diet
and these are rarely well cooked. He
wouldn't know a paper dollar from q
book. much less silver or copper. When
he works a plantation he is not paid
in dollars and cents, but in 'rations" OF
cornmeal or other food.

To pay all the life insurance policies in
force in the United States now would re-
quire fourteen billions of dollars-or
about one fifth of all the property in the
country. 1t takes 1924 ,0O0,O 900 to pay
the annual premiums and the losses paid
each year are about half that amount.
The insurance men do business on the
cent percent. basis For every dollar
they get from the policy they return
them 80 cents. And they did lots of
bowling in 1896 about paying debts in
30 cent dollars
Suppose you heard man Dragging
that he had sold a thousand dollars
worth of stuff this year and only got
$500 in cash and goods for it, what
would you think of him. Certainly that
he was either philanthropist or fool
most probably the latter And yet,

Pertinent Paragraphs.
The Burlington Courier.

! The Burlington Courier.
The imperialists yell that where the
flag has been raised no one shall dare
haul it down Is the flag up in China?
Will it stay there? Think seriously of
what that means
Republicans boast that every pledge
they made in 1896 has been redeemed;
but we fail to find in their Philadelphia
platform any reference to international
bimetallism, which they pledged them
selves four years ago to promote.
The daily papers say that China is at
war with the world. They think it is
fortunate that the United States has an
army and navy in the Philippines, so we
can take hand in the scrimmage with
China. In fact, we are already ut it.
The constitution gives the power to de-
clare war to congress alone, but under
Mckinley, little heed is given to that
musty document The president has
sent troops to China, and American blood
has been spilled; yet, congress has not
authorized war What great difference
is there between government by the
trust-riddcn Mckinley and that by a
car or emperor?
81 am DESTROYS of restoring to them
the blessings of law, which they have
fatally and desperately exchanged for
the calamities of war and arbitrary
tyranny of their chiefs" This passage
is from the proclamation of a British
monarch. 1t might easily he taken for
an official statement of the present gov
ernment's position toward the Beers
and their tyrannical and corrupt leaders.
As matter of fact, it is taken from a
proclamation of George Ill in 1116 re-
garding his American subjects,-Spring-
field, Mass, Republican.
When we first read the quoted sentence,
we thought it was one of Mckinleys
phlanthropic utterances in reference to
the Filipinos, during the time when he
believed that war for conquest is Grim
inal aggregation. 1t fits the case of the
Filipinos and Beers as well as that of
the Americans.
In their Philadelphia platform, the Re
publicans throw off all their hypocritical
cant about being "the only true friends
of silver" and come out fiat footed for
the single gold standard. They do not
even want silver coinage through Inter
national agreement" Lordy! but havn't
they switched you fellows around.-Fort
Scott Lantern
The Kansas Populist
Criticizing the Philadelphia platform,
The Public saysit is full of weasel words
that is, "words that suck all the life
out of the words next to them, just as
weasel sucks an egg and leaves the shell. p"
Eugene Ware is evidently in his dotage.
He tries to prove from the assessors re.
turns that Kansas is hundreds of millions
poorer than she was when she turned In
gals down ten years ago. And then he
says the Popuists did it all with their
little hatchets. 1t isn't an "ironquilP'
any more; its only goose feather.
