From the Wall Street Journal
Senator P. II. McCarren has never been
regarded as an authority in either ethics
or economies. and il is therefore rather
refreshing to discover him discussing the
question Of the distribution of wealth.

question. The time is coming" he saws.
when It will be odious to be wealthy. 4"
The Wall Street Journal begs to differ
with Senator McCarren. Wealth will
never be odious except:
l. When the rich man is criminal.
p When he is miserly.
g. When ne displays his wealth too os-
tentatiousiy and extravagantly
t. When he uses his wealth to oppress
others. TO crush out competition, and to
bribe his way into political power.
Riches will never be Odious as long as
the rich man conducts himself like a gen
tleman; using his wealth Alright with be-
coming hospitality, with intelligent philan-
thropy, and with a due sense Of steward

How? This way" and she dropped
back among the pillows. Always at an
angle Of 95 degrees, usually on this very

me and a red rose in my hand. The

In response to further questions Miss

Miss Wells laughed. "Oh, just the signs;
the advertisements on the sides Of the

Woman,s WIIes.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
AS married couple were walking down
one Of the main thoroughfares of a city,
the husband noted the attention which
other women obtained from passers-by,
and remarked to his better half:
Folks never look at you. wish l had
married some one better looking"
The woman tartly replied: It's your
fault. Do you think q man will stare at
me when you're walking with me? You
step behind. and see whether men don't
look at me-
The husband hung back about a dozen
yards, and for the length of the street
was surprised to see every man his wife
passed stare hard at her, and even turn
around and look after her
Sure. lassie"' ne exclaimed, as he re-
Joined her. I was wrong. and take it
back. I'll never say aught about your
looks again
The wife had made face at every man
