THE end OF The ROAD.

From the Chicago News.
Iceman Morse thinks very little of his
various trials and even less of his final
conviction. 1t seems to him calculated to
jar. if not destroy. one of our American
superstitions that the man with plenty of
millions can say brusquely to the law:
Go chase yourself You give me pain
in the side 1t is quite different when
the law gives the man pain in the neck.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Charles w. Morse is mad at the gov
eminent in search of victim" and
shows no disposition to place "R. E."

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Banker Morse can now study She finan-
cial possibilities of cell.
From the Indianapolis Star.
And besides all his violations of mere
federal statutes Mr. Charles w. Morse
was an ice man.
From the Detroit Journal.
Perhaps, after all, Convict Charles w.
Morse Is not the guiltiest-just the first

From the Charleston News and Courier.
They might have punished Morse suf-,

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Morse seems to admit acquaintance
with namesake whose initials are

The Eternal Argument.

We're each acquainted with one man
Who wondrous sense can claim.
In spite Of modesty each can
Discreetly breathe his name:
Myself"
And there is one who somehow gets
His notions all askew.
His name likewise, with some regrets,
Is known to most of you:
THE Other Fellow"
Who is it that with logic keen
Can hit the simple truth.
And mark a path straight and serene
For age as well as youth:
Myself
But who, with obstinate disdain
And most unseemly pride.
Pursues his toilsome way in vain
And casts advice aside?
THE Other Fellow.

What a story that was when the poor

multiplied into dollars. He had studied
men. and had come to lead them. He had

Others accepted the figures. but read
a different story In them. The accumula-
tons represented in their eyes only the
diligence and shrewdness of a ward poll

office; from trafficking in political pull !;
from rum-selling and gambling. and all
the rest of ii. Every dollar was tainted

Recently lady widely known. and who
for years had been the recognized leader
of New York society died. Her wealth
and the magnificence of her household
trappings had filled large space in the
society columns of the newspapers. De-
scriptions of her Jewels. her furniture and
her plate had exhausted the vocabulary of
praise. She served as text. both for
the devOtees of fashion who admired her
and for the mOralists who saw in her dis
play something prejudicial to the best
living.
We are now advised that some of those
supposedly expensive jewels were bogus
Imitation pearls were strung alongside
the real thing. Some of the furniture
that had looked so brave under the gas
light was cheap, while the gold Of the
famous plate was only skin deep All
vas not solid gold that had glittered In

rich with admiration, and plain folk with

Astor is a text for one day. Little

USES OF FLArrERY.

We always like TO meet him
On slack or busy days.
With 1entieness we treat him
What time he sings our praise.
Of course We know he's lying
And doesn't show much Wit,
But since It's gratifying
We make the most Of IL.
Though each of us is surely
Quite wise enough 10 know
While listening demurely
That III can't all he so,
His boneyed words we treasure,
His phrases bring ms peace.
And thus we proudly measure
Our merits swift Increase.
This man is far more pleasant
Than are some others who
Think times like the present
To probe MS through and through.
They tear our pride to pieces,
They put us on the rack,
And while our rage increases
They paint our failipgs black,
So. turning from their grilling
With feelings torn and hsyed.
We are completely willing
To have the pain allayed.

Proceeds To sootbc the smar;s,
And as we listen. smiling.
To him VIC yield our hearts.

Underwood.

And Champ Clark twenty miles away!
Well, Mr.. Underwood makes very good
substitute. He knows a bargain when he
sees 1t. and can deliver the goods. Nor
should We forget that a democratic
House will mean not only Clark for
Speaker but Underwood for chairman
of ways and means and therefore leader
on the floor. The Albanian is in his
eighth term, and so veteran legislator,
although young man. He Is q tariff
for-revenue-only advocate, and If he
leads the next House the country will
hear from him on that subject.

BETWEEN SEASONS.

The Christmas tree is quite a prop
For TESTING folks.
They pick from II goodly crop
OF Yuletide jokes.
This harvest ends and there eusues
A long wait then.
Chill January brings the blues
To funny men.
Their melancholy days have come.
As you can see.
The next joke crop is gotten from
The cherry tree.

A LOCAL TRAGEDY.

Her clothes a sight,
As she rang the bell
The other night.
The man of the bouse
He glanced her DER.
Some trump. he said.
And slammed the door.

Shed been to shop,
And the neighbors soon
Heard something drop.
Such scenes as this
One often meets
In a town that won't

VARIOUS VERSES
ON TIMELY TOPICS
HE WAS THE GOAT.

There was a goat in our town
And he was woundrous thin.
And yet wherever food was he
Was always butting In.
And when be found the food was gone
He never acted blue
he merely ate the dishes and
He ate the table. TOO.
He ate a family washing and
The clothesline at a bite:
And then be ate a MILESTONE, just
To whet bis appetite.
He might have been there eating yet.
Hut that's an open question
He ate boY OF breakfast food
And died of indigestion.
