On his daily, aimless trot--
Many pranks you'll find he's played,
On the minds of man and maid;
Idle Thought lives there, they say, q
But in daytime he's away
Romping round in empty minds,
Which on earth he always finds;
There Imagination plays
With some brains in funny waysl
Puny minds who think they think,
He finds easy to hoodwink;
And Miss Vanity is there,
Trailed around by Old Despair

Then, tomorrow night we'll stray
Right across the Milkyway---

WHY FRIED FOODS
ARE IN ILL REPUTE

Fat is a valuable food, and the OBJ
lection to fried foods because they
are cooked in fat seems illogical.
The chief reason for the bad opin-
ion in which fried food Is held by
many is that II almost always means
eating burned fat.
When fat is heated too high II
splits up into fatty acids and glycerin,
and from the glycerin is formed sub
stance (acrolin) which has very ir-
ritating effect upon the mucuous
membrane.
All will recall that the fumes OF
scorched fat make the eyes water.
II is not surprising that such a sub
ktance, II taken into the stomach,
mould cause digestive disturbance.

Uncle joe that Was and Is.

The Indianapolis Star which. if not an
msurgent Republican newspaper. daily
gives aid and comfort to the enemy. had
this to say on Friday in anticipation OF
what has come about in the House:
" Uncle Joe's power is passing: and when it is
gone there viii be great reyersion OF popular feel
ing in his favor. Men who now beTste him for his
misuse Of power win say that Mr. Cannon never
deserved an the mean things the papers said about
him. And they viii be partly ngln, Tor he has ex-
ercised no power but that conferred upon him in
open House BY majority rule; and while no cause
Of civic righteousness has ever enchanted his imagi.
nation or stiffened the muscles Of his gayel band
a. least he is no hypOedte."
More than this need of praise may be
given Uncle Joe" in all fairness and
Justice. and will be given him. now that
he is shorn Of power. No risk of reputa-
ton as a prophet is involved in the
prediction that he will Immediately be-
come tenfold more popular with his
imaginary horns removed.
He is no hypOerite. no dissembler. no
trimmer - just plain. straightforward
Uncle Joe" whether In or out of the
Speakers chair So he has ever been
since he entered public life The coun-
try likes such a man. II cannot help
liking him. It is the system he repre-
scented as Speaker that the country has
come TO dislike,
The most notable phase of this ex-
traordinary episode In Congress. as az
fecting Uncle Joe's" personality, Is
that the change of mind began even be-
fore the decisive vote was taken.
After all. the American public and the
American press usually succeed In being
fair In their measurement of American
statesmen.
The Washington herald., 1910-03-20
Keeping a Secret.

Village gossip has so often been pre-
sented as one of the characteristic fea-
lures Of American life as to create the
impression that We are a nation of
scandal mongers. We have been told
that no three can keep a secret; that
rumors are circulated to crafty an appe-
tite for some morsel which has evil as
its aim or intent. and which Is sure TO
injure some person.
While We may relish tales which should
never be told, We have, on the whole, a
sense of honor that places us far above
the position the pessimist would give us.
A most striking example of this is seen
in the report from a little California
village where live the parents of Mrs
Cornelia Botkin. This woman died in
prison, where she was sentenced for life
for having sent poisoned candy TO Mrs
Dunning a decade ago. A few DAYS ago
Je body was brought home to be laid
away in the village burial ground.
The aged parents mourned their loss,
unconscious Of the fact that the departed
had been a convict for years. The neigh
bors came and brought flowers and saw
the grief OF the parents, but the tears
we're not for criminal. but for worthy
child. The body was laid In the grave.
and the parents live on still in ignorance
OF tia fact that the body Of their child
