The Chronic Kick =.
By VIRGINIA TERBUNE VAN de WATER
A Prevalent Disease

KY ICKING' is. I know. a slang
term. but IT has been used so
= n much that even those who
frown upon vitiated language have be
come accustomed to it and permit It.
or. at all events, pardon it. 1t de-
scribes Just what I mean in my present
little talk so much better than does
any other expression that. venture 10
use It.
it2-every one is kicking about some
thing. "EverybOdy's doing IT. runs
the refrain Of a song OF winch we nave
all grown weary although the first two
lines of this refrain are the only words
Of the choice ditty that many OF US
have ever heard But the phrase "Ev-
erybOdy's doing II" might be applied
to kicking. We all do It.
Complaints about the weather have
been in fashion for so long that IL is
trite to call attention 10 them In
fact, we have become accustomed to
them and don't dispute them. Says De
MORGAN in his novel, Joseph Vance"
Of a pleasantly warm day coming in
the middle Of a disagreeable January,
When sudden mild Ut or this sort
comes in midWintert people are IN
grateful and call it unreasonable, and
pretend they like frost. They are liars
and hypocrites, as they enjoy IT thor
ouRhly." OF course. most of them do,
but they enjoy kicking more.
I fancy that one Of the things about
which people kick most universally is
the particular work they are called
upon to do. It is really amusing to
hear the many complaints, the subject
of each of which is my job" say
amusing" because the irony OF the
situation lies in the fact that If one
Of the grumblers We're 20 lose said job
he would implOre his friends and ac-
QuaintanCes who had any pull to get
him another just like IL, If nothing bet
ter turned up meanwhile. The man
grOans when he has no work and
complains when he has IL. that It is
not the kind he wants.
It's a Dogs Life"
Ask a man in almost any profession
or line OF business what he thinks
of your placing your son in that same
line. Don't do it," he will protest
It's a dogs life" Thy the experiment
of putting this question to a physician,
a lawyer, an archietect and business
man. As to employers-it is well that
they cannot hear what is said OF
them If one Of the saints Of bygone
days were to open an office in the
city the men in his employ would COM
plain that he was too strict" or '4n-
formally patrOniZing." They might even
accuse him Of being "a tight wad,' or
" a slave-driver-' / do not for q mo-

The Treaty of Amiens
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

IN he Treaty Of Amiens. signed 10
years ago by the English diplo-
= mats and the representatives Of
first consul Bonaparte filled Europe
with rejoicings. The people Of England
and the people Of the continent were
tired Of war and It's ravages. and the
thought Of peace filled them with a
delirium Of gladness-
But there is a big difference be-
tween the people and the men who run
the political machines, and the peace
OF Amiens was destined to be but a
short duration. It lasted but little
more than q year, and then began the
awful series of wars which devastated
Europe till the summer Of 1915.
Napoleon was not a saint, and Il IS
well known that he sometimes lied;
but he maintained to the last day OF
his life that he sincerely wanted the
peace which was inaugurated at
Amiens. and that it was his solemn in
tentiOn to have kept II had he been
