Is IT WORTH WHILE :
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.


Is It worth while that we jostle brother
Bearing his load on the rough road OF life 2
Is II worth while that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart that we war to the knife
God pity us all in our pitiful strifel
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel
When fellow goes down with his load on the
heather,
Pierced to the heart; words are keener than
steel.
And mightier for woe or for veal.
Were it not well in this brief little journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give him q fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hands TO be and abide
Forever and aye In the dust at his side Z
Look at the roses saluting each otherl
Look at the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and man only, makes war on his brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain.
Shamed by the beasts that go down on the
plain.
Is It worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow soldier down in the dust1
God pity US all Time left soon will tumble
ALI of us together like leaves in gust,
Humbled, indeed, down into the dust.

WISDOM'S WHISPERS.

What woman says and what she
thinks are totally different PROPOSE
tions.
AS man advances in years he re-
members vividly the small happen
ings of the past.
It pleases a woman immensely to
tell her she talks like person of in
telligence.
When a man declares he is content
it is safe to assume he has captured
all he could reach.
To a woman there is sense OF
satisfaction in knowing her new gown
has excited feeling OF envy.
Men place little value in things
which come to them as compromise
in contest.
Some women make life burden
by the effort to deceive themselves as
10 their accomplishments and social
standing.
The man who delights in love
stories usually takes the least stock
in real life love.
When a woman finds herself II
financial straits she acts as though
someone else were to blame therefor
A man who enjoys hard worl
usually finds plenty of it to do with
out much in the way of labor.

MAN,s DRESS.

Apropos of summer raiment man
peered at himself in mirror one noon
last week with disgusted expression
that spoke louder than words. He
was not heavy man or a corpulent
man or a man who was inclinedto take
on flesh; he was very fat man, and
he said:
"Women may be peculiar and fin
icky in some things, but when it
comes to common n-sense dressing for
comfort in hot weather they have US
worse than left at the post we're
left in the paddock. We're not even
among the also rams. Does wo-
man get up in the morning and
swathe her neck in starched bandages
and draw a scarf around her throat
that chokes her and load her body
down with everything that happens
to be hanging on nails and chairs?
She does not she puts on few low
cut himsy garments, and unless she
has to iron or hang out the wash it'll
make yOu SulVCh W Co'9o AAO AAAN'S~~A -
it's ninety in the shade.
"But what do l do in order to be
conventional? l button on a four
ply collar with an extra thickness in
front, yank and saw four in hand into
place, knot it and perspire. Then
I worm into a woolen waistcoat or
white one that's as stiff as a board,
and coat that's sagging with papers
and letters and trousers with hall
ton of metal in the pockets. Or if /
leave off the waistcoat sport belt,
because suspenders are not good form.
If strap the belt tight l can't digest
nv breakfast, and if don't strap it
| tight might as we'll hang it on a
! creased marble pillar and expect 1t
won't drop. l haven't had waist
in twenty years.
"Now in so far as purposes OF per-
sonal adornment are concerned l
might better take that collar, dip 1t
in warm water and tie it around my
ankle. 1t adds nothing to my ap-
pearance it is wet through and
through in jiffy, and l can't take
nv mind off it from breakfast to sup
per. If l sit down everybody moves
awav from me for fear I'm going to ex-
plode and spatter, and SO pant and
mop through eighteen hours of the
day. Look at those handkerchiefs.
Span clean this morning ! You d think
I'd found them in hole under Leak
ing tank. And it's good deal the
same way in winter. A woman ar
rays herself for ball as if her work
was cut out for her, and she's no more
than comfortably warm when it's all
over. But after man has danced
one dance he looks as if he'd just
been fshed from the river.
"Women may be trihe queer II
the matter of raiment, but they're no
insane. "-P,0midencs Journal.

IT IS contended by many entomolog-
lists that insects generally are short
sighted. And an observation on the
wasp (says a contributor to the
Gzo6e) seems to confirm this. A
number of wasps were hawking at the
flies settled on a notice board fasten-
ed against the wall of building.
They not only made frequent dashes
at the flies settled on the board, but
also at spots of black paint, nail
heads, etc. These latter were evld-
emily mistaken for flies.

woMAN's SUPERIORITY.

Professor Chamberlain, of Clark
University, has figured out that wo-
men have a whole lot more ability
than men. Following in his little
list: "As an actor she has greater
ability and more frequently shows it.
She is noticeably better in adapta-
bility. She is much more charitable
lin money matters. Under reasona-
BILE opportunities she is more gifted
at diplomacy. She has greater genius
in politics. She more commonly has
executive ability. Her hearing is
more acute. Her imagination is
greater. Her intuitions are greater.
Her memory is better. Her patience
is greater. Her perceptions are more
rapid. She has greater religious de-
votion. He instinct for sacrifice is
greater. She bears pain more heroi-
caliy. Her sympathy is greater. She
has greater tact. She has more acute
taste. She has greater vitality. She
has more Auency in the lower form:
of speech"
