Children Cry
FOR FlETCHER'S
Q ASTO RIA
Luke McLuke Says.

Most of us have little trouble fol-
lowing the Biblical admonition
against laying up treasures here on
earth.
Why is it that a man will grudge a
minister So for tying the knot and
yet will gladly pay a lawyer $500 to
unite It?
Lots of patriots are willing to die
for their country. But they insist
upon dying of old age.
When a girl has shapely ankles
and new silk stockings she simply
can't keep her shoe strings tied.
One reason why dog looks so in
telligent is because he never starts
to talk and show his ignorance.
There are a whole lot of women
who get their ages and their bust
measurements mixed.
After a man has been married long
enough he learns that the only way
to argue with a woman is to slam
the door and keep on going.
Nearly every man owns a patent
cigar lighter that won't light.
The old-fashioned woman who us
ed to put everything she had in her
stocking now has a daughter who
puts everything she has on her back.
Lots OF fellows who always keep a
corkscrew and beer opener on their
key rings never have enough to pur-
chase a drink.
II there were any truth in the
early rising theory the milkman
would have all the money in the
world.
When a woman watches another
woman cook a meal she always goes
around and tells the neighbors that
the other woman uses too much but
ter.
II is funny how woman likes to
wash dishes when she is away from
home and how she hates the job
when she is at home.
Before marriage all they talk about
is clothes and men. After marriage
all they talk about is men and
clothes.
What has become of the old-fash-
toned girl who used to wear a cor
set?

rible fight to the duke of Parma in
1885. Then the Dutch endeavored to
ruin the city by building forts on
both sides of the river, thus hoping
to prevent ships from coming to
the Antwerp wharves.
Antwerp was i'm the possession of
the French from the rise of Napoleon
until the year before Waterloo.

If the Belgians themselves had
Joined in league with France and
had declared war on Germany, then
indeed might the Germans have some
excuse for having laid a tribute on
the conquere dcities. But because the
Belgians refused the Germans pas
sage way and defended their homes
their cities are now to be treated by
the invader as fine material for loot.
The attitude of the conquering Ger
mans toward the Belgians is indica-
tive of frame of mind when imper-
ialism runs riot.
Imperialism is dangerous to the
liberties of free people, dangerous to
the peace of the warld, and when
this war is over the quicker people
abolish all kings the nearer they
will be to the permanent mainte-
nance of peace.

Antwerp and Kings.

It will be a tragedy II Germany
should capture Antwerp. one of the
old free cities.
Germany is the last word in i'm
perialism that was SO widespread in
Europe 400 years ago. Germany holds
to the old custom of levying a trib-

Rats ElectrOcuted.

A novel device for electrOcuting
rats was rugged up recently by
train crew at the railroad station
at Fort Wayne, Ind. where they be-
lieve in doing it electricity" Not
long ago rats entered the basement
of the new station thru the coal
chute and gave trouble until the
stationmen got together and con-
structed an electric chair especially
designed for rats.
The" chair" consists of an iron
plate with a steel spike suspended
above 1t, both the plate and spike
being connected to the two wires of
an electric circuit. With the spike
baited with a piece Of cheese, the ro-
dents which venture upon the plate
and reach upward complete an cleo
trical circuit thru their bodies and
thus become their own executioners.
