The Laureate
= By Walt Mason

Unless Great Britain takes a brace
no first class bard Will seek the place
of laureate, I'm thinking; he gets some
go pun a year and draws a cask of ale
or beer, if he's inclined to drinking. The
times are hard. and poets need GOOD
groceries on which to feed. and clothes
and shoes and bonnets; unless they're
nourished wcI they can't in noble frenzy
rage and rant, and turn out odes and
sonnets. And so the Kiplinrs do NOT
run for jobs that pay but SO pun and
cask of ale or porter: the crossroads
poets make the race, and he who Gains
the measly place must cut his diet
shorter. Great Britain ought to give
the bard stOvewood enough to fin his
yard a COW and bunch of chickens an
order on all stores in town-instead of
which she screws him down. and treats
him like the dickens. No wonder mat
anointed potes all troubled seem with
husky threats when singing to his king
lets; starvation wages bring despair and
in their hearts put carking care. and
gray hairs in their ringlets.I Copvrigbt

Letters
r FILTERS form one of mans greatest
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Si8ash-S

T ETTERS form one of mans greatest
output
- Each day thousands of tons
of letters are stuck into mail boxes and
delivered by perspiring carriers. 1t takes
several million typeWEters and river
full of ink to produce the worlds CORE
spOndence, and the stamps used daily
could not be licked with a fire hose IN
less it worked overtime.
Letters are little cross sections of
human nature. A letter tells as much
about its writer as a microscope slide
does about a rare and costly disease.
Sometimes a Jury can take a single let
ter from a cold and naughty business
man and discover from it that he has
a warm and loving heart and is inclined
to be absent minded.
Now and then some great and general
" admired statesman writes a few let
ters instead of slipping over behind a
barn with lobbyist. and when the pub
lie reads said letters It learns more
about said statesman than It had ever
been suspected before Some of the most
eminent men now in retirement might
still have been running for office If they
hadn't got into the letter writing habit.
The letters of the world carry much
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-08-29

of its joy and sorrow, rage and good
nature, philanthropy and viIlainy. A
thin, half ounce letter is a little thing,
but it can make a strong man drop the
task of strangling a competitor and
travel a thousand miles to find out why
the writer was so chilly when she
wrote it.
Great men spend their lives IN making
speeches and writing books But we
have to wait until after they are dead
and some literary ghoul has dug up their
letters and published them, to find their
Utmost thoughts. We should all strive
to become so great that when We die
our love letters to our wives viii be OF
interest to an impertinent and over
curious world. Letters are the circulation
of business. They are the breath of life
to lovers, the curse OF politicians and the
sOiaee Of old age which has to sit alone
at home while the sons are on the firing
line ahead If there were no letters,
busienss would drOop, wastepaper bas-
kets would 90 out of business and the
telephone connections would melt under
the strain of promoting the marriages of
a romantic land.-COpyright by George

short burglar played hide-and-seek
with constable and policeman IN
a house at 727 Ellsworth street last
night, and was not tagged out until
the sharp eyes of Mrs. Minnie Pas
sello detected his hiding place under
a couch in her dining-room.
AS both of the searchers are big
men they found it. more convenient
TO. move it than stoop and look under
1t. They moved it out from its place
along the wall, but found no one.
Then they moved it sideways, but
the result was the same.
As last resort Mrs. Passello got
down on her knees and looked under.
Sure enough he was there. Then the
policeman and the constable reached
down and got hold of the fellows
feet and pulled him out. He had been
under the couch all the time. Each
time they had moved 1t he simply
rolled along on the floor.
