Absence of Wife
Of Brazil's Envoy
Disappoints Many

The curiosity of society people, which
had matured for weeks relative to the
beautiful bride Of the Diplomatic Corps.
Madame daGama, wife of the Bra
lillian ambassador. was doomed TO dis
appointment, when the stately ambas-
sador and his imposing staff came
down the line.
There was no Madame daGama A
few days ago. 1t was whispered that
she had gone to New York to try in
the shops of importers to find some
thing sufficiently splendid for the oc-
casion. That rumor but whetted the
curiosity of society women.
Today while they looked blank, dis
appointed, even chagrined, the am
bassador smilingly announced that
Madame daGama had found II impos-
sible to return from New York In time
for the reception.

THEY SANG A LIE.

| went to church last Sunday
and heard the congregation
screw up its voice to the highest
pitch and sing:
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would | withhold, -
and then when the service was
over | saw a poor crippled begger
go through the crowd and try to
get ten cents to buy a snack to
eat, and he didn't get it. But I
saw several Of the consecrated
singers go home smoking ten
cent cigars.
Not a mite would I with
hold'-aw, shut up!> Such a dis
play of brazen-faced hypocrisy
makes me boil with indignation.
They didn't mean a word of it,
and if an angel had appeared on
the scene and tried to separate
them from their money, he would
have had the most dickens of a
scutf1e that ever you saw. They
would have pulled all his wing
feathers out and sent him hop
ping back to heaven,on crutches.

that had almost lost sight Of
DR.. Mary Walker, the famous
woman in pants. Toothadore
Specksvelt, Harry Sulzer, Gov.

out of my recollection. But Just
at the psychological moment she
hobs up serenely with her pants
on and her feet in her pocket.
There may be other ''women's
rights such as voting and hold
ing office, but in the mind of DR..
Mary the great burning issue is
breaches. You can refuse to give

to, but if you know what's good
for you, you had better not inter

JUST PLAYED WITH IT.

Just a few days ago a half
grown earthquake visited the
Panama Canal region and played
with the puny works of man just
Like a cat might play with a
mouse. It didn't do any particular
damage this time, but just seemed
to be showing them what it could
do if it took a notion.
Now just suppose it should take
that notion some of these days? It
Is known that the region is sub
ject to earthquakes, and it needn't
to surprise the world one bit if it
wakes up some morning and finds
lbs boasted Canal in ruins. How
easy it would be for the forces of
nature to destroy in one minute
what it has taken men all these
years to construct!
Year in and year out they have
toiled and tugged at the task like
an army of ants. Atom by atom
they have moved the earth and
the stone until at last they have
brought to pass the dream of the
centuries. 1t was the biggest job
that modern man has tackled, and
now, as he stands and leans on his
well-worn spade, with the finished
work before him, he probably
bhinks that he has a right to be a
little bit proud.
And so the knowledge that an
able-bodied earthquake is sleeping
with one eye open right under the
little old ditch may be useful in
keeping man humble in the sight
of God.

GOOD NEWS

Dear Friends: Maybe you
would like to know that Mr..
Pearson's "other half' is also
editing a monthly paper, called
Good News. It is quite different
from The Fool-Killer, and some
of you might not like it, but if
you want to send fifteen cents for
a years subscription, or get ND q
club of five or more at ten cents
each, Pm satisfied you'll have no
kick coming against me. Good
News is a non-sectarian religious
paper, same size as The Fool
Killer, and stands for the pure
and indebted religion of Jesus
Christ and the Whole Truth of
Gods Word. AS long as The Fool
Killer lives, the proceeds of Good
News will be used in charitable
and religious work. Also along
with your subscription or club
send me a good list of names (of
women preferably)to send sample
copies to-not very many from
one postofice and I'll appreciate
it. Address:

BLUE

What color is your blood, mis-
ter?
You don't know
Well, suppose you cut your fin
ger and see.
There are two kinds of blood in
this country.
One is Blue Blood"
And the other is Just common
red blood.
All the rotten rich rapscallions
have blue blood"
The common poor devil has to
worry along through life with the
old cheap red stuff playing leap
frog in his veins.
Money changes the color of the
blood.
Strange, but true.
l know a dozen men who used
to be poor, and they were red
blood in their veins ). but they hap
pened to get some money, and the
color Of their blood was at once
changed.
Blue-blooded people are too
good to work, and they are too
fine. for common white people to
associate with.
All they are fit for is to splurge
around in automobiles and make
fun of the people they stole their
money from.
It is the red blood that does all
the work of the world, and the blue
blood dikes out in it's fnery and
enjoys the blessings that labor
produces.
Blue blood was never known to
create anything useful or do any,
thing respectable.
And again I repeat.
What color is yoar blood?

And Miss Dudine wears a hobble

And they start a lie on someone every

Both their mouths are big and brazen.

WE'LL, I'LL BE DARNED!

Darn The American fag!" In
the patriotic days Of old the above
expression would have been con-
sidered treason Of the blacklist
hue. Edward Everett Hale tells
us about a fellow who got himself
into a bushel Of trouble by putting
it just a shade stronger than that.
But in order to clear myself
from any charge of treason, | has
ten to explain that Darn the
American flag is one of the meth
DDS OF economy that Uncle Sam
has lately adopted. It near that
the starry banners which float
above all the government buildings
must be treated like an old sock
they must be darned when they get
holes IN EN-.
It used to be that when a flag
was worn to frazzles by tapping in
the breeze, it was thrown away
and a new one put up. But now
Uncle Sam is getting mighty
economical. He gets out his old
rusty darning-need1e and darns
Old Glory till it is all darns, and
then dagns the darned places.
, Now amt that a "darned" poor
way to economic? IF the old
star-s#udded fool would put his
brogan down good and heavy on
some OF those bil1ion-dollar army
and navy appropriations, it might
help some. But the idea Of your
Uncle Sam taking a piece Of his
shirt-tail and patching tie old
WORKOUT flags, and at the same
time building more costly battle
,ships-it looks to me like saving
the hair and throwing away the
hog.

ANTI-TREATING BILL KILLED

Adverse Vote

Madison. - The assembly voted
down the Senator Teasdale anti-treat-
ing bill, 81 to So. The defeat was not
unexpected, though the size of the ad-
verse vote was larger than had been
counted.
The Frederick five-mile zone bill was
saved from similar fate by a sub
stitute amendment by Mr.. Roethe,
which carried the bill over for another
day. Mr.. Roethe's bill is for a one
mile zone, an increase of half-mile
radius from the university, over the
present prohibition tract.
A prohibition bill, statewide in its
provisions, was recommended for in
definite pOstponement by the assembly
committee on excise 1t was X. A.
Johnson's bill, which proposed the re-
peal of all measures which authorizes
the granting of licenses to sell liquor.
Mr.. Walsh's bill prescribing the
hours of service for drug clerks was
amended to permit one days vacation
every two weeks, and then passed.
Mr. Rheas' bill providing three adj
ditiOnal inspectors of rural schools to
be appointed by the state superintend-
ent of schools, each with a salary of
$500, was passed.

Hairpins and Other Pins.

Hairpins have been elaborated as 8
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy OF their workman

the gold pins which were found at
Salamis in Cyprus, and are now in the
British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins OF a later
date, with their shank of brass, head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the larg-
er sort of pins so conspicuously end
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple of Sisera was probably a tent
pin, while Delilah fastened the web
of Samsons hair with a pin or batten-
In the middle ages pins were a great
fashion - indeed, great necessity -
in France, and we have it on record
that in 1347 10000 pins we're removed

reaching England, but in 1910 we hcsf
