of industry and hilariously devote to
sport or idleness all of their time ex-
cept just enough in each day to satisfy
that days hunger. No doubt this tale
will shock and grieve large number
of estimable people. but for our own
part, says the Times, it very consider
ably increases such little affection as
we previously had for these tiresomeiy
virtuous fowl and therefore will we
do our best to believe it. There are
some difficulties in the way of doing
that. Bees, despite their reputation for
intelligence, are evidently about the
stupidest things with wings-merely
animated acquisitiveness, indeed work
ing as hard as an American million
aire to pile up wealth far beyond any
possible needs, without single talent
except to get, get, get.
AS fighters, while bees are brave
enough, they are unable to strike more
than a single blow against any OF their
more dangerous foes, dying themselves
as a result Of 1t, while the foes, after
bowling with pain for a bit, calm down
and hunt more honey. 1t is almost
incredible, therefore, that a creature
incapable of seeing the futility of work
carried to an absurd extreme only for
the profit of human robbers should be
able so quickly to draw an inference
from the failure of winter to appear
when expected. almost" is not
quite" however, and we, too, can be-
lieve what we want to believe. So we
will not question the story from Aus
tralia-where everything is possible,
acyhow-and we hope that somebody
will take few of our ants down there
and prove that they, also, are indus
trious only because they have to be
that they are not bit fonder of indus.

Famous for Artificial Noses.

The city of Indore is modern and
ugly and uninteresting. Apart from
being the prosperous capital Of a rich
native state, its chief claim to motor
iety rests upon its hospital, which has
won universal fame by the manufac-
ture of artificial noses. That may
seem a very limited industry on which
to build name. But in India there
are several ways Of promoting this In.

hospital carrying her nose in napkin

"TOO MUCH MAKING. "
REPRESENTATIVE BOWERSOCK,
OF KANSAS CITY, CRITICLSES
BILL MAKERS.

Says Selfishness and Ambition Lead
them through Wilderness of FolIy
and Buncomb and Valuable Time
is Wasted.
81 have long criticised and seriously
objected to the making of so many
laws, and have long commended that
men are not made good and honest by
statute" remarked Representative
Justin D. Bowersock, of Kansas, re-
Gently.
"The comparatively indiscriminate
enactment Of legislation on all subjects
general, special and personals a
great evil and a greater folly. l have
insisted that selfishness and prejudice
are at the basis of too many enact
ments, and that human nature and
the settled principles Of business and
commerce, honorable competition, and
the results Of supply and demand can
hardly be changed by law to any ben.
efcial extent.
Corporate greed, cupidity, and cor
ruption can be, ought to be, and will
be modified, curtailed, and brought
within decent limits, to say the least.

the strong teams on the schedule.
Many of the big men who were Of
rangy build We're becoming huge
hulks without much life or strength.
The fact Of the matter was that the
men could not arrange for a good
meal after, the hard practice. Now the
men can work as long as they wish
and be assured Of a square meal after
their days work is done. The ath-
Ietes at K. L. do not have the rosy
time that athletes at other big schools
enjoy. After the regular work of the
gridirOn is done, the men have their
regular lessons to prepare. Without
the necessary nourishmenf, both the
studies and the football work was in
danger of being sighted. Without
a training table, half of the men would
have been unable to pursue their reg
uIar school work after the season was
over. Thus the regulation of the
Chicago conference aholishing the
training table as unnecessary in the
modern "dehorned' game has proven
only a pipe dream.
