INTERPRETER
BADLY NEEDED.
Punctuation and Its Misuse by
a Youthful Student.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the
bureau Of chemistry in the department
Of agriculture, has interpreted many
laws affecting pure foods and drugs
and has had some of his opinions re-
versed by the department of justice
and the president.
He was discussing this one day when
he said:
THE matter of interpreting laws is
much like the story OF the little boy
who was told by his teacher to read
something from primer. The boy
read as follows
"'This is warm doughnut. Step
on It,
"'why, Johnny said the teacher,
that can't be right. Let me see your
book
This is the sentence she found:
"'This is worm. DO not step on
it,
"That's very much like the interpre-
tation of the laws of nowadays. You
can interpret the statutes in several
ways, according to the angle from
which you view them. As for me,
believe In constituting them always so
that the masses OF the people shall
benefit by them Philadelphia Rec

The Unlucky Man on Foot.

In few years aeroplunes will be as
common az automobiles are now, and
1t Is obvious that the man on foot will
have little show. The auto scorcher
will be II harmless individual as COM
pared with the speed maniac overhead.
A MAN who will take TO atroplaning
must be naturally reckless to begin
with, and his recllessness will increase
with each flight. His boilers will burst,
and his engines will fly TO pieces. and
there will be showers of hard ware,
and big iron castings will hit the man
on foot and knock him into the ground
up to his shoulder blades. Every time
he walks around block falling mon
key wrench or claw hammer will dot
him on the head and make him sick
and weary. Another prospective evil
Is the increase OF insurance agents.
There will be aeropane insurance
which will enable you to provide for
your widow and children In case an
aviator falls on you and squashes you.
Insurance agents of various kinds are
so thick now that 1t is impossible to
avoid them, and any scheme that
threatens to swell their ranks should
be denounced by press and pulpit

Whistler was extremely frugal and
abstemious. He ate and drank most
moderately of the plainest fare He
liked dainty dishes and a rare old

decently himself and sometimes made
an omelet or scrambled eggs, but
these culinary feats 1 never saw per-

were always late in being served, out
