The Diary of a Bonehead.

AS a bit of gentle and refined satire
gave my wife for Christmas a cook
book. Yesterday / came to the hoSpi-
tai where 1 am now doing as well as
can be expected. Several months elapsed
between those two events, as you may
have noticed, and 1 nearly elapsed, my
self.
Young man, never give your wife a
cook book, even in spirit of merri-
ment, for you will live to. regret it,
or maybe you won't live. 1t all de-
ponds upon the state of your constitu-
ton.
We were having plain, old-fashion-
ed, homely fare when I thought of the
plan to give my wife a cook book. 1
thought it would put her wise to the
fact that there were other things to
eat in this world besides corned beef
and cabbage and pork and beans. 1t
was just sort of a gentle bunch.
My wife is not dull woman, even
though she did marry me. She tum-
bled to the hint as readily as though
it were a bargain sale in shirtwaists
and the day after she got the cook
book from me she began to make things
out of it.
She forgot all about the old-fash-
with the cook book in one hand and
an egg beaten in the other doping out
a line of polite and aristocratic food
for the next day
We had cheese rammikens, cream
puffs, souff1es and three or four diff
ference kinds of a la modes for break
fast. She was getting even. 1t was
easy to See that. She had be groggy
in two weeks and in four weeks L
would have given. 81 for a good plate
of homemade pork and beans. 1 never
saw a woman as devoted to a subject
as my wife was to that cook book. 1t
was her religion.
She nSed IN about $40 worth of fancy
groceries every day and when 1 OBJ
jected she merely referred me to the
cook book 1 had given her.
With my digestive apparatus hitting
on only one cylinder 1 went to see my
doctor. He said:
You came to me just in time. One
more week and a lot of people would
be looking at you and saying: Doesn't
he look natural?'''
When L get home from the hospital
1 am going to hire a burglar to break
in at night and steal that cook book.

And now come the days that are rare;

And saving the best for the fair.

And bring forth the poetic wheeze-
But I'm not dead in love with the season !;
My spirits dismal and dank,

And my checks are N. G. at the bank.

BUILDING AND
REBUILDING.

The people OF the United States
have unequaled national wealth and
an energy unsurpassed in history. No
one denies their genius fer building,
and they have shown what they can
do in rebuilding at San Francisco and
Galveston. for examples. But why 50
much rebuilding? Pushing forward
along the lives of uninterrupted enter
prises would be better. Fresh con-
structiveness is more decirable than
clearing away wrecks and gathering
Up the broken threads Of business.
The question suggested IS how far the
worst calamities can be guarded
against and their injuries minimized.
1t is claimed that river floods can be
eoI...=:>S5:s::eei and turned TO advantage.
The National drainage congress about
to meet in st. Louis announces that
ii has a plan to accomplish this end,
and President Wilson has written TO
the executive committee expressing
his interest in the purposes Of the
convention.
Losses by conflagTation in this
country exceed s200. 100000 a year
Fou1tdfths of this waste can be
averted, as the statistics Of Europe
show. After a FIRE Americans ara
great in rebuilding. but hey are de
plorably deficient in prevention. Tho
cities in the rich valleys oi Ohio and
Indiana viii distinguish themselves IL
restoring their homes and industries
but will they look into and promote
the movement for flood control? vii
they make sdre that their Ieyees arr
reservoirs are strong enough to resis

any possible pressure upon them: l
Is we'll that all the country should
heed the fact that building i
safer, pieasanter and more profitable
than rebuilding. Great experiences il
the later involves the accusation tha
foresight and wise precautions ar
needed. A general study of food con
ditions and possibilities of regulation
is urgently called for. As for Ameri
can conflagrations the margin for re
ducing their number and damages
simply enormous.

house is shown to be far ahead OF
the senate in accomplishments, al
though there mas been attempt made
by senators and certain administra,
tion officials TO blame the house for
not keeping UP with its work.
The governors call viii specify thar
the code revision legislation be com
pleted and that appropriations be
made 20 carry on the state govern.
ment and its institutions. The gov
ernor win insist that the present land
commission be continued, but the
horse may be expected to insist that
the public land business OF the state
be put into the hands OF a single
land commissioner who shall be a
competent civil engineer. The pres
ent land commission, after nearly 4
years work and after spending
twelve thousand dollars for paying its
expenses in travelling over the state
has little to show for its aacom-
plishments. The house thinks it is
time to put = stop to this heavy ex-
pense and we believe the house is
correct in this conclusion.
The appropriations and the reve-
nue. laws are the most important
that will confront the new legislative
session. The code bills have mostly
all been considered and IT is not like
ly that there will be any serious diff
ferences concerning their completion
and final enaction. Tine appropriations
will of course encounter many snass
as they pass through the Legislative
channel, but it Is hoped that the
new extra session will be able TO get
through with all of its Operative du'
ties within three or four weeks. Al
the measures introduced during the
last sixty days are now dead and must
be started anew, if they are such as
are entitled to consideration under
