IWHY MEN WEAR TROUSERS
PerpIexInE Question of the Ages
Proves An Easy One for n
MissOuriRn.


In bordering the apparently irrecon-
cilable Inconsistencies of this life the
question of trousers must inevitably occur
to the speculative philosopher Why are
trousers and why do we wear them? are
questions which no man has solved that
thought upon them-until the other day.
unsupported of the world, there Is In
an obscure town of Missouri an intellect
capable of dealing with the mystery. After
what years of pondering we know not,
this mighty brain has brounght forth
theory which, like the alchemists stone,
has transformed the base metal of our ig-
norance into the pure, clear gold Of under
standing,
In the Democrat of Benton, Mo. the
simple, the inevitable, the tremendous SO
luton is thus unfolded:
mo living man of this age ever deliber-
ately chose to adopt trousers He was
forced into them and all other eccentrici-
ties of dress by women. In the very earli-
est sartorial experience he is swathed in
a queer bundle of incoherent bondages By
woman. Later she puts him In cute
dresses, SO that the neishbors can't tell him
from his little sister. Still later she cuts
off his curls and puts him In knicker-
bockers and he puts on long pants when
she gives the word-not before.
THAT is all that man has 10 do with
wearing trousers. Women forced him into
them in the first place and now he Is
afraid to wear anything else Tor fear Of
making q sensation"
OF course. there is no doubt about the
matter at all now. We wear trousers in
subservience to women, and, perhaps, Just
a little, in fear OF the police.-New Orleans
Item.

COURT HEARS A
HARD LUCK YARN

Pleading that his physical con-

nit him to work, and that he was
almost down and out for lack of
money, E. j. Hofford begged the
clemency of the court yesterday.
Hofford while on a visit to DR.. G..
S. Wilson, in order to borrow
some money, could not resist the
temptation of taking the little
microscope, which from his own
former profession of medicine he
was able to appraise as being val
liable. He was arrested a few
hours later. His story of his wife IS
death, his child's death by the ex-
plosion of gasoline, and his own
sufferings while in search for
health and work so reached the
courts heart that his case was
postponed until his story could be
verified.
