On the Spur Of
the Moment
BY ROY MoULToN.
written nxolussvaly for pvsnins sssA

THE DIARY OF A BoNEHEAD.
Shortly after the Spanish-American
War a gentleman with a liquid voice
called at my pleasant yet modest
home in the suburbs and sold me
pianola, or, in other words, a horse
less piano.
The purchase of the horseless
piano, which was quite novelty in
those days., marked a new era In our
social status. We jumped from Class
D to Class A as soon as the piano
was moved in. That was before the
days of the automobile and society
lines were not drawn between the six
cylinder and four-eylinder classes.
The horseless piano set reigned Sal
preme.
The terms Of the piano were 81
down and 81 every time the collector
could catch me by the coat tail. The
collector was a young gentleman with
a red necktie and the only time he
was not at my elbow asking for
his dollar was when I was asleep IN
my bedroom with the door locked
1t seemed as though met him every
morning on the front step as I LETT
home for the office and found him
waiting for me when I returned.
While other people wsre buying
buzz wagons I was still paying for
my pianola, and we had gradually
slumped back to Glass D. The plano
itself had worn out four years be-
| fore 1t was half paid for. That red
necktie haunted me In my dreams.
and IN the meantime the collector had
grown older and raised a family. 50
| that he collected more strenuously
than ever.
Yesterday he called for the last
! time and received his final dollar. He
wanted 10 sell me a new player piano
and offered to allow me S1.s5 for the
old one. He said he could sell the
wires to a telephone company and
| get that much out of 1t, but 7 turned
him away
My wife is going to haze a new
pair of rubbers and / am going 70
have a new set of teeth before we
begin buying anything else on the IN
| stalment plan.

At the club one day, old chap. the
gentleman with whom was engaged
in conversation was importuned| by
young newspaper reporter fot an
interview, or something of the lsort
you know. In voicing his extrenle ref
luctance to be quoted in the press
my friend expressed himself irt thi
language:
Nix. young Teller. not a bleat, nc

sheets, and I don't want to orb M

Just chuck any dope about me out

COLONEL BEEBE SAYS.

You can lead a horse to water. but
you cannot make him drink; sur
round a fool with wisdom, but you
cannot make him think. You show
an migrate kindness and get injured
for your pains. You can dress a
dude in fashion, but you can't give
him brains. You can bring the rich
to justice. but 1t takes a lot Of time.
While the poor man goes to prison.
the rich one pays a finE. II yor
study human nature, you'll find
freaks of every strain. Some yoii
see excel in stature: others great
with nerve and brain. you'll End
lots of faults to criticise-perhap
some traits to praise: but it's Just
as Nature made us guys. That ex
plains our funny ways. Don't get
too close to the buzzsaw or tickle
a mule that's tame. Don't give adj
vice to those in. love or bet on an
other mans game.

that Secretary Hay was a badly bam-

has been satisfied with the paper assur-
ances of Japan and Russia that IT was

ala moi do anything To open this door 10
uanchuria. but really ratified its perpet-
nal closing. and proposed further to close
,h. door of all China To every one except
,hoso who were willing 10 pay Japan and
p,,ssi, for the privilege Of trading there
J., III action of President Wilson is
,,..rofore . recognition of China's Just

Finds "StoIen" Gems
In Her Fur MuH

NEW YORK, Feb, Alt was with
feelings of relief and indignation that
officers and crew Of the steamer Ber-
mudian learned today that Mrs Clinton
Cushing's diamond rings had been
found
They were indignant because all the
way from Bermuda, Mrs. Cushing had
made everyone's life miserable with her
stormy declarations that the ship was q
nest Of thieves. and her insistent de-
mands that everybody be searched for
the 5000 worth of diamond rings she
said had been stolen from her.
After landing Mrs. Gushing hired a
detective, who found the missing Jewels
In Mrs. Cushing's fur nun, where she
had put them the day she sailed from
Bermuda.
