Puts All on an Equality.

The young engineer told me something
about Colon which seems TO show that
the rights Of mankind are shamefully
trampled on in that part of the world
He says that every human being in Colon
is obliged by law TO take at least one
bath a day. No hut is so poor as not to
be supplied with a water tap and some
sort of apparatus for producing a shower
bath. Doubtless the men who made the
law mean well. but with socialism so
rampant one cant be at all sure that they
were wise. don't know how the aris-
tocracy of Colon is ever going TO main
tain its supremacy. IN this free and
happy country, the taking or daily bath
stamps a man instantly as belonging 70
the classes. In d country where every
body tubs once in every twenty-four
hours It must be very difficult to feel sure
that one doesn't belong 10 the masses.
It's state Of anarchy, that's what il is.
I'm sure it wouldn't be tolerated for a
moment in any American town. Think of
what il must be 10 live where one couldn't
feel superior and talk ABOUT the great
unwashed.

Of Prince Charming, and didn't bother

neither of them older than thirteen, eX-
changing condolences only yesterday. The
taller one was all for marrying money.
The shorter one said she meant to be an
architect. and earn her own living.
But If you'd marry a rich man YOU

Cannot Copyright Omspring.

Somebody tells me of note Mrs. Mary
FerraIlasas the author Of Truth Dexter
and The Dragon Painter and several
other successful stories, wrote not so very
long ago. Soon after her book, THE
Breath Of the Gods" was issued, she re-
ceived a letter from a Southern woman
who had written a story which she wished
to call "A Daughter Of the Gods" Would
Mrs. Ferralassa consider the title too
nearly like her own? Mrs. Ferralassa
wrote back:

/ met a young engineer not long ago,

rubber trees or railway bridges or gold
mines or something OF the sort-in the
wilds of South America. He made many
excursions into regions where, as Tim
used 10 say, The hand Of the

mans burden of canned things. He kept
house with one able-bOdied can opener,
and his native servants were deeply im-
pressed. There was canned this. and

good measure, a phonograph. The engi-
neer set Il going one evening TO amQse

The natives examined the machine,
