have often noticed that about sew
en-tenths of our race, or ut least every
one with little inventive genius in
his Uranium, passes down the long list
of impossible inventions, beginning
with the feeble attempt to lift himself
up by his own suspenders, invent
flying machine, discover perpetual
motion, court girl without setting
up the ice cream, make money without
working for it, profess religion with
out practicing it in our business, get
everything needful through prayer,
hypocrisy, drown sorrow in sooner
of beer, try to purify politics without
changing the system of industry, try
to become happy through n feeble at
tempt ut careless swagger, try to look
wise by parting the hair i'll the middle
aud wearing eyes glasses. and trying to
make others think we are honest by
condemning everybody else for ras-
cal.

Last week friend of mine called
my attention to one Of our Swell head
statesmen as "one of Natures noble
men Now | arose very early in the
morning 10 prove TO my own satisfac
ton that Nature doesn't create noble.
men Tint is not her business. Nature
simply collects the raw material and
turns out crude animals and education
must do the rest.
The best that can be said abont Ma
ture is to praise her honesty and indie
pendence. She Is no respector of per
sons and draws no color line. She
gives the negro hostler as keen an APP
petite for gin ms the Senator has for
ten year old whiskey, and the Irish

fried potatoes asthe society lady has
for It'd bits of scandal. She gives the
sheep all-wool clothing free of duty,
and gives the lackass voter shoddy
because he voted for Just that sort Of
patriotism In fact, nature gives us
all she owes ms. She never grows
feathers on n dog. nor hcir on a fish,
a wooden Indian, nor good morals i'll
the man who lickspitals around Goldfish
aristocracy. She never grows water
melons on cucumber vines, nor com

who votes as pnp did before the war

ton viii raise the taxes somewhat,
but a dollar saved in tins way may
cost ten or even hundred in doctors
bills. We must have the sewer sooner
or later.
