Giving Themselves Away.

The late Mayor Gaynor was one day
censuring a hypocrite.
"Hypocrites," he said, whether they
are correcting the social evil or starv-
Ing factory girls, always give them
selves away. They remind me of the
tramp.
"The gentleman who ran into this
tramp had gone out on an all-day fish
ing trip, taking his lunch with him.
When he reached the river side, he
discovered that he had dropped his
lunch somewhere on the way, and so
he hurried back to look for It,
After a while he met a fat healthy
tramp, who strolled along sucking a
toothpick and looking very well
pleased with life.
did you pick up anything on the
road as you came along?" the gentle
man asked.

tramp. II didn't pick up nothin'

In these missives she seemed so

quick color back to her cheeks and
her sweet, rather shy welcome filled

He pushed open the study door ex-

There in his chair sat Chloe Curtis

LUKE McLUKE SAYS.

Hush money does more talking
than any other kind.
When you see an overdressed
woman escorting a man who
looks like a door mat, you know
who is boss in that house.
A girl can put in ten years &C
quiring culture. But that won t
keep her from snoring when she
is asleep.
The man who beats his wife
isn't a bit worse than the man
who robs his family by spending
his money on his friends.
The old-fashioned man who
used to paddle his own canoe
now has q son who owns motor
boat named "Ishkabibble."
1t is funny what a difference
q few wears make. The girl used
to let you chew her wax" in
school while you took q whirl al
her "all day sucker" now has a
daughter who carries her indi
vidual drinking cup SO she won ;!

A GLANCE AT THE FUTURE.

If the European war continues
several years, as Kitchener says
it will. it is going to make the
financial situation pretty serious
ever on this side of the pond.
And it is going to bring about a
"cut in the cost Of living etc.
as neverbefore. There is going
to be MANY a hard lesson learned
by the "school of experience
during the next year, if this war
continues. and it is going to be
bad enough if it does not con-
tinue. for the situation is not 60
ing to adjust itself all at once.
In place of increasing taxes, to
the good of the few. let's &C.
crease a bit. till the war is over.
and also decrease the salaries oil
all those who draw their salaries
and pay via the tax route. Ev-
erybody else is going to have to
do with less-then why not
"bear we one another's burdens
and make it come lighter for all ?
For there is a saying that all
too true. which says. two things
that are bound to come. "death
and taxes" (sooner or later) be-
ing no respectOr of PERSONS

THE
PHYSICAL COURAGE THE
COMMON KIND.

Every one of the belligerent
nations can justly be proud OF
It's soldiers. They are all brave.
We might go further and say
that the whole human race is
brave. Some branches Of it are
less eager for combat than 9th
ers. but give them a good cause
and weapons and see how they
will fight! Even the Chinaman,
with his constitutional dislike for
war. is not afraid. A regiment
Of Chinese in the German army
would doubtless fight like Prus-
slams. We have long worshlped
this military virtue, as if physi-
cal courage were a rare thing. AS
a matter Of fact, it is the COM
monest quality among men-or
women. either, for that matter.
The only wonder is that it has
taken great war to teach us
that truth. The really rare thing
and the virtue of supreme value,
Is moral courage. Such courage
might have prevented the war,
whereas physical courage can
only fight it.-Monroe News Star.
Try This For Neuralgia.
Thousands Of people keep on
suffering with Neuralgia because
they do not know what to do for
it. Neuralgia is a pain in the
nerves. What you want to do
is to soothe the nerve itself. APP
ply Sloan's Liniment to the sur
face over the painful part-do
not rub it in. Sloan's Liniment
penetrates very quickly to the
sore, irritated nerve and allays
the inflammation. Get a bottle
of Sloan's Liniment for Is cents
of any druggist and have it in
the house-against Colds, Sore
and Swollen Joints. Lumabgo,
Sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but
it does give almost instant relief.
