Most married men do as they please

It's difficult TO generate philosophy

It's a fortunate thing that babies
can't say what they think of the baby
talk women hand them.
Paradoxical though it may seem,
the light bills rendered by an illumi-

From a viewpoint of an old bach
elor the vocalizing at a wedding is
more depressing than the singing at a
funeral.

the hats his wife wears. All he has to
do is pay for them-he doesn't have to
wear them.

And so, after all, the Kansas State
Board of Railroad Commissioners did
not order the railroads in this state to
put in two cent fare. such as other
states enjoy. Instead the board,
through its secretary. has written a
real nice, lady-like letter. asking the
railroads If they won't please be so
good and kind as to let Kansas ride
for two cents, inasmuch as Arkansas
and Missouri and Nebraska are riding
at that rate.
This is very considerable. A rude,
rough order from the board, establish
ing such a rate, might have hurt the
railroads feelings.

AT least once a week there comes to
this office a printed slip setting forth
in some way, the growth and Industrial
Importance of Montgomery. Ala. It is
sent out by a commercial body, and is
part of a campaign for advertising the
town. And a very wise and fruitful
plan it is. Colorado Springs used to
do that sort. of thing and no doubt
found it profitable. Not all of the mat

does, and every little helps.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE NATIONAL GuARp.

This country and England are
unique among the great powers in
having no compulsory military training
for their citizens. Service is purely
voluntary and patriotism is the only
agency used to occasion enlistment;
yet we are more dependent upon our
militia than any other country in the
world. 1t behooves the people, then,
to awaken to the Importance of the
National Guard. and to take steps to-
ward popularizing this service with the
youth of the land; for after all our
country's safety is to a large extent
dependent. upon the efficiency of these
national guards.-Memphis CONNER
