HAVING AND HORSING

Another investigation is under way at the Military academy on the subject of hazing. Something is promised in the way of discos- ures of animated and ingenious cadet "devil- try" and there will be undoubtedly the usual eXclamations of surprise and disapproval over the misconduct of the youthful offenders 1t will be we'll not to pay too much attention to the results of an investigation of this sort. The recognition of the fact that "boys will be boys" notwithstanding they are cadets at the Military academy, under training for commits sions in the army, is an agreeable and liberal concession to make to those forms of activity in which the ardent youthful spirit at West Point relieves and satisfies itself. Of course if cruelty, mixed with cowardice is a charac- teristic of these performances, visited by senior cadets upon their junior associates, it is proper that there should be another attempt to regu- late the practice, but it is we'll not to take too seriously some of the foolishness in which it is safe to say the cadet at West Point surpasses in no degree the student at Cambridge, New Haven, or Princeton
 The significance of the latest investigation at the Military academy is to be found in the fact that despite all the rules and regulations and all the solemn reports of the official ob- servers and all the efforts and influences and admonitions of those in authority, hazing in some form-it appears to now bear the title of ''horsing prevails among the unterrified cadets. At all events, it would be well to let the authorities at the Military academy run that institution without interference of public sentiment, which is sometimes based on an i'm perfect knowledge of the situation and a refusal to believe in the vOuthfulness of vOuno men who are under training for the military ser vice. So long as there is not return to the ear-cutting, neck breaking and spine-fractur- ing practice of other years, there is no occasion for public alarm

Love is disease-but cheer up Nova days there is nothing chronic about it.
 Horseless carriages fireess cookers and iceless refrigerators have proved such success that it remains only for some gen jus to invent 'husbandless marriage' in order to make modern life perfectly happy.
 A man is something like cat-no matter how many times he is thrown over, he al ways lands comfortably on his feet and walks off cheerful at his escape When a man shows presence of mind in ove-making, it is sure sign of absence of heart.
 Women have to be vain, but a man fancies that, like honest money, he ought to be taken for what he is worth, no matter how passe and battered he may appear.
 Love is natures dope with which we fool ishly intoxicate ourselves when there is noth- else to do.
 One ear of corn eaten from the cob is sometimes the best recipe for curing man grande passion.
 Heaven must be something like summer resort as far as the absence of men is con- cerned.
 A man never discovers the value of money until he has acquired it, or of a woman s love until he has lost it.
 Life, without love, is just lemonade with out any sugar.

JUST AS EASY

In city in which fortune telling and clair voyancy is a little less restricted by law than in Chicago, plumber visited a gypsy fortune teller the other day, paid his quarter, and was told: 'You are going to lose money soon, but not much" /"
 While the plumber was taking this informa- ton into his head the gypsy was taking $lO out of his pocket
 It took the plumber a couple of hours to get wise" and then instead of rejoicing over his discovery of genuine case of prediction of the future, he sent the police after the gypsy. But the gypsy had looked into the future not once, but twice and was out of his reach.
 In the same city, on the same day, another as pect of fortme-telling came to light. X Fin nish girl was told by ''seer" that if she would enter the apartment of certain woman on a certain night she would find a pot of gold. She entered but found no gold and took some dresses and jewelry. In her case the pre- dicton gave out at this point so she didn t run away, and she was arrested.
 There are two morals to this.
 One is that fortune tellers never are weak minded, while their patrons always are.
 The other is that it is wise city government that is stronger minded and also stronger handed than its fortune tellers.
