The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

ffTT seems to me, George" said the
Manicure Lady, that as I jour
ney through life every July
seems hotter than the last July
through which l have passed. l am
that near steaming to death right
now that l could go to Greenland's icy
mountains and stay there the rest of
my life. I never chummed with no
Eskimos: but just this minute it
seems to me that they would be. the
cutest little playmates. Why is IL
that a lot Of regular folks like US has
TO stay in the city, George, and let
them society people have all the
yachting trips?"
It's too hot for me to dope it out, 8"
said the Head Barber, who looked
like an overworked stoBer. u can't
see why there has to be any hot
weather like this at all. The farmers
say that it is too hot for crops, and
outside of raising crops what good is
such a thing as warm weather.

could go somewhere and find eli
mate that was about 60 degrees all
the year around"
Yes. but then you would get tired
of everything staying the same" said
the Manicure Lady. Brother Will
fred was out to Los Angeles once, and
he said that he got tired of the sun
shining all the time. 1t got on his
nerves so that the poor boy got kind
of balmy, like the climate, and they
found him one morning trying to
make snowballs out of the hot sea
beach sand. 1t was a long time before
he forgot that trip to Los Angeles. He
wrote a poem called Eternal Sun
shine that was so good it was reject
ed by three or four of the best mag
azines in America 1t went some
thing like this:
Il love the Spring because it is so
But in some places the sunshine is
eternal.
So, travellers dear, l want to hereby
warn you,
II you love snow, don't go to Cali
fornia.
I love to watch the mewing seagulls
fly
Across the azure California sky.
But oftentimes I long for skies Of
gray,
Instead of seeing sunshine every day
] love the Winter and / love the Fall;
Some snow and rain should come for
one and all.
Until they have four seasons in that
land
Fu not return to that there golden
strand"
"Oh, have a heart" exclaimed the
Head Barber. Amt it hot enough
when everything is quiet, without you
spelling that awful dope2"

but even if it was cool you wouldn't

it? Not a single customer since that
wall-eyed business man from Herki- |
mer and the hick that just blew in

day. You heard him didn't you
George. telling all about his act?
Swell costumes for the skirt, and

"Oh, be still. be still!" exclaimed
the Head Barber. Talk into some
records when you get home tonight,
and III listen to them when il gets
good and cool. I'm going TO toss up
a coin now TO see whether I go out
and get a rickey or two rickeys."

CEVT TELDr' Indignantly exclaimed
Nv the girl to herself, after she
had glanced at the date of
the letter that the postman had just
left. Two weeks!" She flung her head
high, and looked into the mirror to get
the effect. 'Tr show him that l can
keep him waiting, too!''
She unfolded the letter and read it.
Then she reread it.
Not an apology in it, either,
ought just to write and tell him a thing
or twO-but hen wait at least three
weeks before he gets a word from mel
Let him see how he likes it!' She was
extremely indignant.
Going to her desk she flung the letter
disdainfully upon it and closed the lid
Then she opened the desk again and
took up the letter
Il wonder" she pondered, whether
| ought to wait three weeks. l don't
believe it would be well to wait more
than just as long as he waited. That
will be a broad hint to him But I'm
not going to be satisfied with hints!
I'm going to tell him good and plain
that if my letters aren't of sufficient in
terest to be worth an answer before
I've forgotten everything I wrote to
him I'll just direct them to people by
whom they viii be more appreciated.
I'm write him this very minute and
set forth matters clearly to that young
man while everythings fresh in my
mind. Then l can leave the letter IN
dated and send it later, whenever de
eide will be best.
Very Formal.
Suiting the action to the word. she
proceeded hastily to scribbIe off a
letter
I'D better not begin to scold him at
frst." she decided. "TH just answer
his letter. I'll write as though l had
nothing TO say specially, and when I get
nearly to the end I'll tell him a few
things that he ought TO know"
She wrote on, happily smiling to her
self. through a number Of pages.
"Goodness" she reflected. What's
the use Of stirring up trouble? 1 think
1 I'd just better let it drop and act as
though I hadn't noticed how long a
/ time had elapsed since he got my letter

AS long as those Islands are on our hands,
Japan and China are bug-bears.
Every time the Congressman who are in
the pay of the Steel Trust want more battle
ships for their employers, the japanese war

Every time California seeks to prevent the

they would hel p us against the Spaniards.
They trusted to our promises, and aided
us in the struggle; after which we broke our

1t is claimed that we are preparing the
Islands for self-government. How? BY
shooting them into subsection.
Can you, in that way prepare people for
self-government?
Can any nation teach another how to gov

Civilization is something which comes

enormously extend our frontier; and to that
extent, weaken it.
If we had no colonial possessions, there
would be no semblance of reason for the Big
Navy which consumes such huge sums of
the money that our work-people dig out of

BY keeping faith with the Filipinos, we
would lessen the expenses of our Govern

was a good deal of an English arlstocrat
That is one Of the reasons why SO few Of
us consider Ge0rge Washington a typical
American
Most of us would gladly name such man
as our Executor. for we are certain that he
would not divide our estate between himself
and the lawyers; but we would not care to go
afshing with such man. nor expect him to
contribute much of the fun at free and easy
shin-dig.
When Washington was elected President,
he gravely debated whether he should be
addressed by the title Of "Your High Mlghti-
ness"
Posterity is yet grateful to him for letting
us off with, 'Yow EuceUency."
It would have come upon us as somewhat
of hardship, if we had been compelled to
address William H. Taft as "Your High
Mightiness."
President Washington started out to make
a "King's Speech" of his official address to
Congress. The plan did not work very well.
George Washington was no orator, as
Brutus was, as Cicero was, as Demosthenes
was, as Bryan is, and as Woodrow Wilson
imagines he is.
Therefore, in attempting to make speech
to Congress. President Washington fell into
difficulties. described by William Maslay, in
his Journal, page 8.
Later on, President Washington went in
person to the Senate to urge the adoption
of measures which he favored.
On pages 1913, to 1871 of Maclay's Journal
we are told how embarrassing his presence
was to the Senate.
There q0as no freedom Of debate and DELHI
Grafton, aohen the President a0as IN the
chamber.
The Senate felt awkward, and the Pres-
dent soon shared the feeling.
Such personal visits, speeches, and urgen-
cies were resented by the Senate, were not
productive of good results. and were soon
abandoned
Washington was Federalist, an aristo-
crat, man who in England would have
been an ideal Whig-loyal to Church and
King.
Jefferson was Democrat, peoples man,
an ideal kicker, leveller, trouble maker,
equality champion, and so forth.
We Democrats are all Jeffersonians.
At least, that's what we said we were dur
ing the campaign.
Now that we have been taken at our word,
and are in office. let us be Jeffersonian.
Cut out the "King's Speech" nonsense.
Send in written messages, as per custom.
Bryan is running for President, will keep
on running the next four years and may be
elected in 1916, or in 1922. or in 1926, or in
1880, or in 1884.
If Wilson sets the example of making
stump speeches to Congress, nobody can guess
where the thing will end-with Bryan to
follow Wilson, and some equally oratorical
President to follow Bryan.
It's an awful thing to reflect that Bryan
may be our President for eight years, and
have our Senate where he can flood it with
matchless oratory whenever he feels like it.
We fear that he would feel like it every
