nit of Sarcasm.

The penalty OF thrift is described by
Life as follows:
when we get capitalism abolished
who is going to save any money?
Thrift used to be a virtue until Uncle
John Rockefeller and others overdid
1t SO. Lately 1T has come to be re-
garded as a sort of mean advantage
taken of ones fellows. for which men
cannot yet be sent to Jail, and which
has to be punished by the newspapers.
1t seems discreditable to save anything
nowadays when riches are so much
criticized and the motor cars offer so
pleasant an investment for ready
money. Stocks are low; money is
right; public expenditures are enor-
nous and taxation is pretty high and
going higher. But never mind! The
crops promise well, and tho war ex-
penditures In Europe won't last for
over.

Captain David A. Murphy.

Sundays Cincinnati Post contained a
splendid likeness of Captain David A.
Murphy, the distinguished Union SOL
dier. author and editor, of Oxford, Ohio.
Captain Murphy was in the Queen City,
Saturday, bound for Nashville, Tenn,
where he goes to claim one of the fair
daughters of Southern Confederate
family. who was on the losing side in
the Civil War. The Captain, who is a
widower and II years of age, says he
feels ten years have been added TO his
life since he fell in leve, although he has
loved only by mail, becoming acquainted
through newspaper clipping with his
sweetheart. After twelve letters had
passed the old warrior was desperately
in love, and he bought tiny silk flag,
attached white ribbon thereto and sent
it on to Nashville with the words: II
surrender" In reply she sent him di-
agram of her wedding ring finger. De-
scribing the qualifications, plans and
specifications ofa wife in one of his books
he says: "She must have good health,
cheerfulness, constancy, good manners
and morals, love good children, pictures
and poetry, know how to write letters
and be competent; must not be dancer
or card player or Sunday motor girl
and must wear pink ribbon in hel
hair" He says the Nashville girl, who
is forty years OF age, comes up to these
specification, and that while he has re.
ceived many letters from girls who de
sired to marry, none of them had the
literary quality and good sense Of the
letters of the fair Confederate.
Captain Murphy is we'll and favorably
known to many of our citizens. He wa:
