A Wife's Thoushtfulness.

A Chicago newspaper man tells
this on himself. He was about to
start from home one bitter morn
ing last winter when the mercury
was lowering around zero and a
razor edge gale was hustling in off
the lake. He had just pulled on his
gloves, and. turning to his wife, he
asked: "Whatever became Of that
old pair of ear muffs l used to
wear? If you can find them, l be-
lieve I'll put 'em on this morning"
81 wouldn't wear those things if
1 were you," responded his wife.
"Why not?" inquired John, look
ing at her suspiciously out OF the
tail of his eye.
"Whv," returned his wife, in a
resigned tone, 'you wouldn't any
more than get downtown with those
ear coverings on before somebody
would ask you to come in and have
something and You might not hear
it, and when YOU found it out the
shock might kill YOU. Then would
be widow"
John had closed the door and
gone on his way-without the ear
muffs.

Mahogany.

Mahogany wood was first import
ed by England in 1924, although in
1897 Sir Walter Raleigh demon
strated the great value of this wood,
which was used in repairing his
ships at Trinidad. From 1924 un-
til the discovery of the mahogany
forests of Africa by Stanley Eng
land and continental Europe were
heavy purchasers of mahogany
from the West Indies, Honduras
and Mexico. A great part of the
mahogany used in this country in
early years came from Europe, it
having first reached there from the
West Indies, Mexico and Honduras.

What Allied Tommie.

Tommie was eating walnuts. His
mother cautioned him about eating
many, fearing they would make him
sick. Presently he came in, his
hand on his stomach and very dis
tressed look in his face.
"Those nuts have made you sick,
see. I just knew they would" said
the mother.
E'They haven't, either" whined
fommie. Il am not sick. It's just
my pants are too tight" ."-Delinea-

Not So Easy as He Looked.

The passenger train had halted
in an isolated rural district on. a
summer afternoon. The smart
young man aboard, who volunteered
to furnish amusement for the pas
sengers, discovered an awkward
country lad sitting on stump not
far distant. Selling the opportunity
for some fun, he cried: "Hello
sonny! Do you live in these parts<|

AMERICAN UNITY

4 SON of General Grant attended the
n unwilling of the Lee monument at
Ia Vicksburg. The reconciliation CT
the north and south is complete and
sincere. Our Union, moreover, is much
more substantial than the queer pact,
without written constitution to give 1t
endurance, which holds together the
four nations which make up the United
Kingdom, the nucleus of the British
empire. In this enlightened age it is
almost incredible the federation of the
British empire should be still a matter
of "manana. The cohesion of the en-
pire without visible organization for
union is one of the wonders of the
world. If we did not see it we could
not believe it.
The United States of North America,
however, long ago affirmed In a most
convincing manner belief in a per-
manent national policy of union. and
not separation. Yet the wonderful
strength of this union is weakness
when we think of it in comparison with
the union of the future, when the first
principles of Americanism Will be re-
asserted and put in practice in every
state and in the nation, which viii be

CLIMATE

TN an address delivered at the con-
ference of charities and correction
a Dr. Friedman of Colorado said
people afflicted with incurable dis
eases should not seek climate, but
should remain at their homes. A great
deal of mischief has resulted from a
we'll known habit of eastern physi-
clans, who, when they see death star
ing an unfortunate patient in the face,
will say, 81 can do nothing for you
Go to a place where there is a special
kind of air, or a special kind of eli
mate"
The advice is cruel. 1t makes exiles
of thousands of poor creatures who
would be far better off at their own
homes, surrounded by the dear ia
miliar faces" Moreover, it gives
healthy localities and communities an
exalted and conspicuous place in the
mortuary records which is not theirs
by right. The percentages would in
dictate some of the very healthiest
places in the world are the unhealth-
lest, but the high death rate of various
ultra-healthy localities is accounted
for easily.
The persons who die are not natives.

BOSTON PLAN

MOOD old Boston has announced it
~ will do its '1evel best" to mako
W an ideal American city, devoted to
an exemplifcation of the first principles
of Americanism. It does not intend to
wait for the rest of the country II
the people of the United States should
make a national affair of the Boston
movement it will be so much the bet
ter for the United States, but Boston
announces it won't lag for stragglers.
Having made UP its mind 1t is right,
the city of culture proposes to go ahead
with a program of social and civic re-
form, the features of which will be ex-
pert accounting of financial condition
and resources of the city; elimination
of waste; establishment Of the best
public health department in the world;
careful accounting of the human re-
sources of the city; happier condi-
lions for workers and their wives
and children than are to be found
in any other city on earth; an organized
movement for the extension of existing
industries and the introduction of new
enterprises; complete information as to
all the cities and towns in New Eng
land; a system of public education that
will fit all the boys and girls of Boston
for their life work and develop their
minds, skill, strength and character;
an intelligent system of popular rapid
transit in Boston and throughout New
England; extension of the city in a way
that will make it a place of healthy,
happy homes, Fairgrounds and public
buildings: a system of neighborhood
and district centers where city officials
may meet the people and consult with
them on local needs; regular courses of
lectures on civil government, politics,
city planning, play. health and bust
ness; increase of the number of public
libraries with provision for book circu-
lation in shops, factories, schools and
clubs; circulation from the public
library and art museum as distributing
centers Of pictures and reproductions
of pictures, music in parks and neigh
borhood centers; popular gymnasiums,
baths and a society hall or halls where
the people may organize their own
clubs and provide for their own enter
tainment. Finally, in the words of the
plan, it is proposed to develop and Sc
sure the general adoption of compre-
hensive system of wage earners' in
surance and old age pensions which
shall afford protection against the risks
of sickness, accidents, old age, prema-
ture DEATH TO THE END THAT OUR
WAGE FARMERS MAY BE IN FACT
AS WELL AS IN NAME INDEPEN-
DENT CITIZENS OF A FREE COM
MONWEALTH; that public and prl-
vate service may be honorably relieved
of those whom age and misfortune
have rendered inefficient, and that the
heavy burden which the community
bears Of supporting those who are de-
pendent may be lessened."
We believe the Boston plan VIII be
adopted generally throughout the
United States Of America, so that at
last there is prospect our wage earn
ers may be in fact as well as in name
