Jane Replies to John
By James t. Crozier.

Your letter, John, received all right,
Was glad to hear from you;
And If you lose much sleep at night
Nom says what you must do
Just soak your feet, then get IN bed,
That cures a lot of ills;
But If you feel bad in your head.
You take a dose of pills.
Nom laughed about the rattlesnake,
And Pop, he gave q smile;
II you saw one. he'd bet a cake.
That you would run a mile.
He says that you have got il bad,
l don't know what that means;
He says you act just like a lad,
That's just got in his teens.
Now. let me say. you silly man,
Don't ever get the blues;
Or try to climb, a foolish planl
To walk without your shoes;
Don't 90 barefooted in the snow,
Or 60 out in the street;
No matter where you wish to go,
Keep shoes upon your feet.
And please don't try to starye for me,
For that would do no good;
You would get awful thin, you see,
without your daily. food.
Perhaps we'll see, some happy day.
When Summer comes again:
But never let me hear you say.
You are afraid of rain.
To Washington, don't walk for me,
The way is awful long;
Again YOU reached that place YOU see
Your stockings would be strong;
/ think you would do anything
To please both nom and /;
But come to night Wen have a sing
And eat an apple pie

SOCIALISM IN 4 WAY

Il believe in the confscation of the productive property of this nation by the working class says the editor of the Appeal to Reason, Socialist paper.
 in other words he believes in taking from him that hath and giving it to him that hath not.
 He believes in taxing thrift, perseverance, energy, industry, brain and a disposition to save and accumulate for the purpose of keeping afloat the man who does not possess these industrial and economic qualities.
 Every man born into the world has an equal opportunity to suc- ceed in life. s m e succeed others do not. We have seen young men surrounded with every opportunity that education and affluence could bestow upon them make miserable failuree in life, while on the other hand we have seen young men come from the lowest strata of opportunity and rise to heights of wealth and power.
 The success of any man de- pends upon his ability to succeed by his own efforts and not by what others or the government does for him.
 The farmer who rises early in the morning and goes to work, using his brain and muscle to make a success of his business and his life, is not due his prof. gate neighbor much consideration who sleeps his time away and drags through the world letting every day take care of itself with no thought or regard for t h e future. The man who labors and squanders hissmeans, deny- ing his family and::himself the fullest fruits of his labor ought not to expect the reward, so far as the material things of this world are concerned, as the man who labors and saves and cares

for his own.

for his own.
 Where men are born free and taught that success is the price of thrift, Socialism will never gain much headway. It's great est strength is in the cities where the glamor of wealth appeals to their desire to inherit that which they do not own.
 Capitalism within itself is a dangerous thing. It is a hard taskmaster. But properly used it is great blessing. Wealth has mission to perform and the development and progress of the world testifies to this fact. And the man, whether he be rich or poor, who fails to measure up to the standard of we'll rounded manhood and neglects to carry his part of the burdens of citizen ship by scorning his opportunities and making a failure of life, is also a hard taskmaster on society for he gets more out of it than puts in it.
 This division of wealth is a dream. Thousands would like to see it done if they can get a chance at what some other fel- low has provided you do no t bother what they have. And this same vein of selfshness would ruin the whole scheme of Socialism if it were practicable.
 Just laws honestly administer ed is all that any man should ask. When he demands more than this he wants more than he has earned or is entitled to. Stephens News.

THE TOMB OF JONAH.

Site of Nineveh.
The site of Nineveh is almost per-
fectly level. But adjoining the western
wall are two huge mounds concealing
the palaces of the greatest kings of
Assyria. The lower or southern mound
Is occupied by mosque and a village
of considerable size. Its name Is Nebi
Yunus. or the Prophet Jonah, for in
the mosque is the tomb I'm which Jonah
is said to have been buried. The age
Of the tomb is uncertain, yet probably
1t dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place is
now sacred, so sacred that pilgrims
visit it from afar.
