would be unable to get the money

According to Uncle Abner.

There is some question rs to whether
there are some more men or women
artists, but it always seems as though
a Teller sees more women who paint.
William Tibbits, our postmaster, has
been layin' in Swazey creek three days

two months ago. The postoffice has

The 1915 model oatmobile ought to

There are so many people in this

at it that the rest of the folks have to
work twice as hard as they ought to.
You can knock a mans appearance,

foolish enough to knock a mans re-
ligion.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT
An Essay on the Mule.

The mule is one of the most inter
esting of our dumb animals. 1t has
often been said that he has no pride
of ancestry and no h ae of posterity
and, judging by some of ours and
yours, he ought to be mighty glad Of
it.
Mules are divided into two general
classes optimists and pessimists. The
optimistic mule is thing of beauty
and joy forever and when he lifts
his voice in song it can be lil1ened
to nothing in this world but Wagner's
superbly delightful "Gotterdamerung"
rendered on a willing, but squeaking
photograph in the still reaches of the
night. 1t is needless to say much con-
corning the pessimistic mule. Most
people have met him before, and those
who have met him before are much
luckier than those who have met him
behind
The mule has been greatly maligned
on account of the fact that he has
large ears and cannot deny the soft
Impeachment. However, he never tells
what he hears adds a little to it 70
make it sound good. In this he has
it on certain hunIen beings several diff
ferent ways.
Thinking it all over, the mule is not
such an undesirable citizen after all,
for what he lacks in culture, refine
ment and education IL makes up IN
minding his own business.

when Chancellor Lloyd-George an
nounced the second reading of the bill
for next week, and the closing stage
in the week after.
Signs are multiplying that Home
Rule, which formerly divided, is now
the strongest bond Of union between
all the British liberals and affords a
battle cry for rallying and encourag-
ing the popular forces better than any
other question In the present day of
English politics.
The progress Of the measure for
Welsh disestablishment has complet-
ed the tory rage and confusion, espe-
cially as the division on the first read
ing was postponed till the Irishmen
could return from the Dublin conven-
tion, and as the Irishmen rushed back
without delay to support tho bill.
AT last the English tories are be-
ginning to recognize In this thick and
thin alliance of the English and Irish
democratic forces that refusal OF
Home Rule brings inconvcniences to
the Englishmen as we'll as to the
lrishmen, and the tory journals are
full OF loud complaints that the Eng
lish measures are thus at the mercy
of this coalition of the democratic
forces.

to know that the party in power and

that it Is the best that can be passed
