WHY NOT2

A writer in a popular magazine
struck upon new chord this month
when he declared thar a man who
deserts from the army in time OF
peace merely gives up his job and
doesn't deserve to be punished.
Wherein" he asks, lis he different
from the mechanic or postal clerk
who doesn't like his work and re-
signs
There seems to be logic in the
argument Enlisting as soldier is
simply going to work for Uncle sam
If Uncle Sam doesn pay wages
enough to offset the undesirable fea-
lures OF the work. why should he
have power 10 keep a man on The job
any more than corporation or an
individual If a man went 10 work
at a grocery store and wasn't allow
ed 10 quit when he wanted to,
wouldn't il be violation of that
part of our constitution that awards
us liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness?
Wouldn't our soldiers be better
soldiers if they We're glad 10 hold
their positions rather than holding
them because they must? And
wouldn't we have better class of
soldiers if the job was made as de
sirable as some Of those in the civil
service where Uncle Sam also is pay
master?
OF, ii time contract is absolutely
essential, why not make it compare
lively short 50 there would be no
real temptation or excuse for break
ing it by desertioa?

SAIzad His Chanca.

The county courthouse was burning and the judge was very anxious to arrive at the scene of much of his life work as quickly as possible and posthaste sent the negro house boy to saddle Sintram, his horse. The judges sons, seeing Sintram in process of be- ing saddled, pre-empted the remaining horses and rode off. The little negro considered the matter for a moment and rode Sintram off, thus forcing the judge to take a hurried and, as he con sidered it, an entirely unnecessary walk of half a mile.
 To the surprise and chagrin of the small negro, when the judge caught him he gave him a good thrashing. When one of the young men remark ed: "Zack, you should not have rid den fathers horse off. You might have known he would have whipped you, and you deserved it."
 'I know dat, Mir. Dave" responded Zack, but I kin git CT whippin' mos any day, an I never will see de cote house burn ag'in.' .''-Los Angeles Times.

Elaus at Half Mast.

Did you ever stop to think what con- nectiOn there could be between flag that was not properly hOisted and the death of a great man? Ever since flags were used in war it has been the custom to have the flag of the superior or cOnquering nation above that of the inferior or vanQuiShed. When an ar my found itself hOpelessly beaten it hauled it's flag down far enough for the flag of the victOrs to be placed above it on the same pole. This was a token not only of submission. but of respect. In those days when famous soldier died flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed from purely military usage to public life of all kinds. the flag flying at fIlf mast being a sign that the dead man was worthy of universal respect. The space left above it is for the flag of the great conqueror of all, the Angel of Death. New York Sun.

Red Tape and a Murderer.

This Is a tale of a self confessed mur derer who wished to be arrested. as related by writer in Le Matin, Paris.
 Some time aRO a man named BergeS was stabbed to death at Algiers. Three men were arrested on suspicion, but ns they proved their innocence they were released and the matter was shelved. A few days afterward a man called at the office of the local police commissary and said to that official:
 My name is Marius Yvorra. I killed BergeS, and this Is how I did it.''
 The commissary listened to the mans confession and said
 You had better see my secretary"
 The secretary also listened to the mans confession and after a little re- f1ection said:
 "Now, look here, my good man; this is not the way to get arrested. You must write us a letter confirming the oral statement made to us. Then we shall be able to attend to you. Now, get along"
 The man left the office. and perhaps because he was not d good writer he has not been seen since :n Algiers.

Suspsnded Animation,

AS we descend in the scale of animal life we find that what kills the higher animals does not injure the lower. Cut a polyp in two and you have two liv- ing polyps instead of one dead polyp. Break off lobster's claw and another will grow. You may, it has been said. freeze a fly. but you cannot freeze it to death. There are infusoria called wheel animalcules." These rotifers have many curious qualities. among which is that of suspending animation for an indefinite period without ceasing to live. Colonies of rotifers may be desiccated and rendered apparently lifeless, and in this condition they may be kept for months and years and pos sibly centuries. A single drop of Wal ter will restore them to life, and the wheel bearers will instantly resume their functional activity precisely at the point where it was broken off. Harper's.

One View of the "TerribIe Turk"

Speaking of the Turk, an English resident in Turkey writes: "The man like best is the pure, uncOntaminhted Turk who has never seen Europe. He is wonderfully hospltable, amazingly kind. essentially a man of peace and a fervent religionist. He is a Moslem, has been reared in Modernism and be- lieves ill his religion. He is honest and straightforward in his business dealings. and his word Is his bond. I do not suggest that every Turk pos sesses all these qualities which I have attributed to the race. nor am I paint ing him in too rosy a color. I have made many voyages into the interior of Macedonia and Asia Minor; I have entered Turkish villages high up on the snow. stockaded against the bears, where the inhabitants had never seen a European before. and my trust in the kindness and hospitality of these men has never failed me."-London Graph. i0

Bank Checks In Austria.

Banks of Austria are exempt from liability for payment of checks and bills of exchange to parties who may have acquired unlawful possession ot the same and forged the inducements thereon. The banks are not compelled to identify the bearer, and instances occur of such commercial papers being stolen and cashed with forged indorse ment, leaving the owner without re dress. A check or bill of exchange therefore, though payable to order and not indorsed Is d dangerous form for the remittance of money. Liability for payment on forged indorsement Is incurred by bank only when it is pre-, sumed to have knowledge of the payee's signature, as in the case o1 we'll known clients.

Liuhtino a Clear.

A Spanish cigar maker came to town with some fine cigars and some notions of bis own about smoking them. He produced one that was rolled to a beautiful point and made the barest puncture in its smoking end. Then he struck a match and held the flame eight inches under the tip. He began to draw, and presently the tobacco was burning.
 Its a sacrilege," said he, ''to com pound the burning of wood with the burning of tobacco"
 It can be done. Get a cigar, not necessarily Spanish, try it in secret at closer range and win a few small bets from your friends.-Chicago Post
