There is the authority of George
Fitch for the statement that New Jer-
sey is one of the charter members of
the United States, and was first set
tied by the Swedes, who mistook the
mosquitoes in it's marshes for rein
deer. We are also indebted to the
same gentleman for the information
that New Jersey is famed for good
roads, cranberries, sea beaches,
Princeton college, Woodrow Wilson,
Hoboken, Thomas A. Edison and his
vast lightning cannery at East
Orange and for the octopus, which
is a dreaded animal which makes its
home in the office building of the
state and feeds on the rest of the
shuddering country. 1t will be seen
from this that Mr.. Fftch's humor be-
trays no signs of deterioration in
quality, despite his large daily out
put.

SOME KANSAS EPIGRAMs.

A health almanac containing infor-
nation calculated to improve the
health of Kansas people has been is
sued by the board of health of that
state. Many of the statements are
epigrammatic in character. Following
are some of them:
An open window is better than an
open grave"
Warm rooms have killed more
people than ever froze to death"
A stiff drink makes the stomach
warm but the skin cold.''
{ "A mustard bath for the feet will
do far more to ward off pneumonia
than a gallon, Jug
"A dirty well is more dangerous
than a dirty kitchen
1t takes time to boil a baby's bot
tie, but it saves sorrow and sleepless
nights"
Flies in the kitchen may be almost
as dangerous as rough on rats in the
pantry
IF your milkman brings you warm
milk, make it hot for him.

The Valentines ST Yesteryear


w. K. NJ. in Peoria Herald Tran
script: How tempus does fugit, as the
tenant remarked to the landlord when
he came after the rent.
Here it is only week till Valentine
day and not sign OF real comic val
entine to be seen In any show window
in town. Not only that, but the deal
er seems to have forgotten what a
Hcomic-a real. daredevil. slapstick,
singer Of a comic really is. He con-
fesses to you frankly, when you de-
scribe the old kind to him, that he
hasn't such thing in the house, and
what's more, that he isn't likely to
have. They're out OF date, he gently
explained; they do things differently
now from what they did when you
were young man.
II you happen to have neighbor or
friend who needs a gentle kick in
the face to take some of the swelling
out of his Uranium you sigh at the
passing of this old refuge of anony-
nifty and recall the red and yellow
cartoons you used to buy for cent
apiece, illumined with a sentiment
something like this:
You pig-eyed boneheRd, B if you knew
One-tenth of what you think you do,
Your head would be thrice bigger
still
But that. alas, you never will!''
There was a delicacy about the
verses on the old-fashioned comics
that seems to have vanished from them
forever and taken refuge in the funny
pages of the Sunday newspapers.
What could more daintily express
ones satirical regard for an unmar-
ried lady of As summers than little
quatrain like this, printed in black
face beneath an illustration that
would appropriately have decorator
the story of the Witch of Endor:
The floor beneath your bed you
scan
Each night in search of some poor
man:
If you should find one meath the bed,
The sight Of you would scare him
dead"
There was no limit to the range of
the ancient valentine. It dealt out
scorn to the spendthrift, contempt to
the loafer, ridicule to the high-brow
and castigation to the foolish with
equal vigor and beauty of diction.
The deacon of the church whose CON
duct failed to square with his profess
sion was apt to receive on the morn
ing of the 18th an innocent looking
envelope which gave forth this gentle
rebuke when opened:
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-02-12

You double-faced old hypocrite,
To sit in church you are not fit.
You fool no one with godly. talk
We know you by your daily walk.
The temperance orator whose pro-
tests against the indiscriminate use OF
intoxicating beverages trampled on
your corns was very gently, but ef-
fectually, showed back into his own
proper sphere by rhythmical tribute
like this, illustrated in color by an art
portrait of gent with scarlet nose
and the brand of booze on his fore
heed:
You wall-eyed, bloated drunken sot,
You talk lot of temperance rot;
You yell, We must put whiskey
down.
Then drink up every drop in town. "
These little pleasantries were a
regular contribution to the gayety OF
the people in the good old days, but
the literary taste seems to be degen-
Grating. Outside of the editors pages
| of yellow journalism we seldom en-
counter any such specimens of re-
| freshing wit in these times.
The new comic--if you insist on
calling it that's mostly OF the post
card variety. BY reason of the fact
that both sides of it are exposed to
the eye of the post office minions.. it
| is obliged to confine itself to moder-
ate little sentiments which would
hardly raise the mercury half degree
beneath mans celluloid collar Obvi-
ously, the post card comic is a poor
| substitute for it's ancient predecessor
as an agent of warning and retribu-
ton. The post Office department has
grown finicky about these things.
/ But the deprivation of modernness
goes even farther than the comic The
old lace valentine, with it's frills and
gingerbread, has also gone the way of
mortal things and is no more to be
found adorning the magnificent show
ing of the bookdealer's window. No
longer does young America save up
his pennies to purchase a ten-decker
contraption OF perforated tissue-paper
surrounding true love verse relating
to the relative sweetness of sugar and
the fair addressee. Here again the
inevitable post card has almost mon
opolized things. Likewise the gush is
toned down, even as the vitaperation
of the comic, by reason of the officious
eye of the post office department.
There are some things one does not
care to flaunt before the cold and
cynical public especially when her
pa and ma are apt TO censor the mails.
Verify the times have changed. But
perhaps, it's ali for the best.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-02-12

Sioux City ministers are dropping
the word "obey" from the marriage
VOW and putting the emphasis on
love" According to statements at
tributed to several of them, the
obedient attitude of the modern
spouse is not dependent upon any
phrase which she may have repeated
in the wedding ceremony. Nor do
they believe that the attitude of wo-
man toward her husband has chang
ed in the past few years, notwith-
standing the growth of woman suf-
frage and the entrance of the fair
sex into the affairs Of the business
world.

NO MONUMENTS TO plsLoYALTY

There is a measure before congress
known as the Williams bill which
provides for the appropriation of
money from the national treasury for
the erection of Confederate monu-
ments Recently Mr.. .Justus Garfield
of Marshalltown wrote to the members
of the Iowa delegation at the national
capital requesting an expression Of
their views on the subject, Ten of
the thirteen responded. OF these nine
pronounced unequivocally against
the measure. Congressman Pepper
from the Second district wrote in re-
ply that he holds in veneration and
esteem the men who went to the front
in the dark days of the civil war and
| by their acts, deeds and privations
maintained the union,' but did not
pledge himself to vote against monu-
ments to disloyalty Mr.. Pepper is a
Democrat. No word ON the subject
was received from Senator Cummins.
Senator Kenyon did not hesitate to de-
clare himself He wrote:
1 No, most decidedly no. If we have
any money to spare we will give 1t to
/ the veteran soldiers who saved this
union. | will do all in my power
against its passage
/ Congressman Kennedy, representing
/ the First district, was equally pro-
nounced, as the following brief ex-
tract from his letter goes to show:
Il am unalterably and unequivocally
opposed to appropriasing any money
for Confederate monuments"
Representative n. E. Kendall of the
4 Sixth district expressed himself to
the same effect and added that there
! is not the slightest danger that any
such diversion of funds will occur.
Judge Towner of the Eighth district
is opposed to Senator Williams bill,
or to any bill for such purpose, or TO
any legislation of any kind or char
acter that will directly honor those
who were engaged in an effort to de
stroy the union Judge Prouty of the
Seventh district does not believe that
it is either the proper or the patriotic
thing TO do to erect monuments in
honor OF the Confederate cause, which
/ he believes was wrong. Other mem.
bers of the delegation wrote as fol
lows:

Was Abraham Lincoln a Christ
ian? asks the Des Moines Capital. II
he wasn't there never was one. The
question was well answered by Bish-
op Charles H. Fowler quoted in the
same paper:
When J pass through the shadows.
which cannot be very far away, /
humbly hope first to see the King in
His beauty but if anywhere in the
great throng shall see the stalwart
form OF Mr.. Lincoln shall know that
have gotten into the right company,
for regard Mr.. Lincoln as the best
snecimen of Christian man have
ever encountered in public life.
