WHY NDEED2

.rs-f. .,...a WHY, 1NDEEDy VI
Why is it considered great joke pm
man when girl discards him. but
devilish mean trick for man 10 treat
girl that way. AS old Jack London
once remarked, we are curious to know.
But you needn't send in any explanaf
tions. A common fault with explann4
tions is that they fail to explain, clear
as they may seem to the one who puts
them over. Which may be partly due
to the fact that the other fellow isn't
willing or anxious to take your word
Tor it. AS in the problem previously
set forth, recognizing the mans capaci-
ty for feeling as bad about 1t as the
girl might with the reverse English,
we hesitate to exonerate the girl or
mark the motley on the man; a Joke
in this civilized age, should be less

THAT TWO-THIRDS RULE.
The two-thirds rule which prevails
in Democratic National conventions
was designed to prevent the selection OF
a candidate by states that would be
likely to cast their electoral votes
against it. without the two-thirds
rule 1t would be possible for Repubii%
can states to select a Democratic cam
d1date. The rule was adopted in 1899
when Jackson was nominated by accIa-
nation. As matter of fact, a Demo~
cratic national convention has never
been deadlocked by the two-thirds rule.
The great split in 1850 was caused ov
the platform and the two-thirds rule
had nothing to do with ft.-Holton

THE ROYAL. ROAD TO WEALTH.
You can't do it, my boy. There ir
no royal road to wealth, and the get
rich-quick scheme" is a snare. Nc
gambler ever made fortune that he
was permitted to enjoy. Look around
you and see IL there are any "sports''
you would want to change places with.
Intelligent effort and productive labor
are the only things that bring real
happiness. Unless you really earn 1t
you will never be able to really enjoy
the wealth that may be in your name.
Were 1t not for the foolish people who
think they can get something for moth
ing, and can beat the other fellows
game there would be no bank default
ers,s embezzlers, common thieves, and
not one-half the suicides the accounts
OF which take up so much soace in
the daily press. The dice box, the
pitch table, the punch board is the
same sort of start to a gamblers career
that stealing apples and watermelons is
to thiefs-not all who start complete
the course in either case, but It is abb
solutely certain that those who never
start either will never be in at the fin
ish which is played before the district
judge and the warden of the pentten-
