It's human nature to look with envy

chicken pox and measles come to the
small boy.
The farmer who is coming to town
behind pair Of slow plow horses and
with a load Of produce, has to grit his
teeth some as he swallows the dust Of
the big touring car that whizzes BY.
And he naturally thinks there is cer-
tainly something wrong with the
equalization committee when he has
to sit on a board seat and pound the
ponies on the back, while the auto
owner sits on the cushions and tells
the driver where to take him.
The office holder who wears
starched shirts and has a clean shave
every other day sticks in the crop Of
the man who has to go to his office
TO transact business. He can't under
stand why he should have to work
hard every day, while this, man sits
in his office and wears white cuffs
And so II goes.
The other night three men were
standing on the bluff looking at the
lights Of the big factories below, when
one of them said
While the bosses are sleeping the

This man gave no farther consider
alton than the fact that these ''bosses"
we're getting rich.
This man wins evidently a laborlng

him why he worried there, and II he
wasn't mighty glad to have Job
there, what he would do II there were
no mills to give him Job, and how
much his house and lot would be

don't want to publish "prima facie"
bad books, so they publish fiction that
leaves a great deal to the Imagination.

visits from a haymless doddering old
college professor who Is psycholo-
gist. But Alexander goes on regular
trips to London, where he spends much
time on the successful actress Hilda.

MRS. WHITELAW REID
 AND SON ARRIVE.
Body of Late Ambassador is Still on
 the Way.

New York, Dec. 29-Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and her son, Ogden Mills Reid, arrived tonight from England on the steamer Campania- Their arrival was timed to precede by several days that of the British cruiser Natal, which is steaming for this port with the body of the late American ambassador to Great Britain who died in London on December Is.
 Mrs. Reid remained secluded in her stateroom during the stormy trip of the Campania from Liverpool. Through her brother. Ogden Mills, who had come from San Francisco to meet her, Mrs. Reid made it known that she did not wish to make any changes in the plans for her husbands funeral. Mir. Mills was accompanied to the pier by his son, Ogden Mills, Jr., and other members of the family and by the Rev. William M. Grosvenor, dean of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John Divine, where the funeral services will be conducted on January {. The party went aboard the steam CT and returned immediately with Mrs. Reid and her son, taking them to the family residence on Madison avenue.
