If many women who watch the unfold
ing Of this story are inclined to con-
denim Ruth and revile her victim, the
men will be disposed to bestow on the
woman the harsher expression, and
they will pity the man because they
will better realize the strength of the
allurtng temptation he encountered.
The Little Gray Lady is a straight
drama. The story holds through sheer
strength of the plot and depends in no
on the spectacular. Miss Gray
~splendidly fits the character Of the
little gray lady" the woman who sticks
to the man she loves, despite his
crimes, and ignores the love even as
she recognizes the depth Of the friend
ship and the self-renunciation of a
better man.

THE DEMAND FOR
HUMOR

The death of Robert j. Burdette
will be regretted by many people who
have an eye for newspaper humor.
Mr. Burdette did not enjoy the wide
reputation of Mark Twain, Josh
Billings, or Petroleum V. Nasty.
But he turned out for years reg
ular column that maintained con-
sistent sparkle Of wit and feeling for
the incongruous phases of daily life.
Such a contribution makes no i'm.
preston on literature. and does not
ordinarily give one a place In who's

Jerome X. Jerome once pathetical-
~ remarked that humor is the salt
of life. but that even salt should not
be eaten by the spoonful. Critics
may rail at the fairness of modern
newspaper humor. but the editors
have a pretty keen sense OF what the
public wants to buy. The average
humorist may need vacation badly,
but IL he Is gone, the readers miss
him.

urday evening a girl told her two es-

man they thought guilty and beat
him until he was insensible. Then
the young woman discovered that he

somebody else's debt. The men who
thrashed him apologized, but that

PRES SERVING
GAM z

Every fall, as the hunters come
back from their jaunts, their bag
seems to be little smaller. Yet
Sportsman's clubs are working all
over the country for closer legal reg
ulations. More game wardens are
being employed to enforce the laws.
But every few years sees some spe-
cies extinct that the older people re-
member as abundant.
AS population grows, the game
area narrows down. Sportsmen take
more frequent and longer vacations.
The hunting grounds acquire larg-
er human population.
There Is constantly increasing
number of alien residents who speak
no English and do not understand the
game laws, nor good craftsmanship.
To thei- minds. song birds that are
useful in destroying insect pests
make just as good pot pie as the
scarcer game birds.
Luxury lONius people are not cOu'
tented with ordinary fowls and meats
Some scarce titbit from the woods Is
needed, something inaccessible to
thinner purses. with which they can
give an air of distinction and origin
atty to their feasts. The price Is
immaterial. so long as the dish is
different.
Thus In every region where game
birds abound, a tribe of pot hunters
has grown up. They turn the birds
that save the crops into millionaire
hotel dinners. Also they are making
game birds so scarce that man has
to travel hundreds of miles for
little sport, whereas formerly, he
could get it on a single days nearby
excursion.
The Wholesale hunting Of game has
become a form of monopoly that
should be stopped. What wild life
remains is the property of the COM
mon people. The hunting of vari-
cites that save crops should cease,
and the killing of other kinds should
be equally shared.

The Crosses of War


We have been reading in the pa
per during the past few months OF
the Iron Cross being presented to
this one or that one for special BRAY
cry on the field Of battle, or for some
special feat of generalship that has
brought success to the armpies OF the
side awarding the cross. And when
1t has not been the Iron Cross-for
this seems to be a fayorite-it has
been some other specially desisnat-
ed and famous cross or some medals
that carries supposed distinction.

crosses and medals are believed to
be very proud of them. And 1t 10

may receive the coveted decorations.
But privately, I should not q bit
wonder II there Is a slightly different
feeling In regard to the possession OF
these crosses and medals from what

used to be. In the dark EIes, when

they might show It, and recount the

TWO STATES OF
WASHINGTON

Since the recent general election
there has been some considerable
agitation OF the proposition to divide
the state of Washington, making two
states where only one exists now.
The idea would be to call them Eas-
tern and Western Washington, just
rs the Dakotas are called North and
South Dakota-the Carolinas, North
and South ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, still
retaining the old name, giving to the
other portion Of the old state West
Virginia. The Washington dividing
line would naturally be the Cascade
mountains; and the sections lying on
either side of this range are said to
be so radically different in their
character that neither would miss the
other to any considerable extent. One
is wet two thirds of the time. the 9th
er Is dry most of the year. The dry
part produces hay, fruit, grain and
vegetables in great abundance; the
wet part is noted for its lumber. fish
cries, manufacturing, coal and water
commerce. The state as at present
bounded is almost as large as New
York and Maine combined; 1t is larg-
err than all the New England states
put together. The division cannot
therefore be criticised on account Of
territorial area; and the other argu.
ments in favor of 1t are said to be
so palpable and powerful that II once
considered by the people they would
probably prevail.
The thought suggests itself that

hard, and never surrender while they
have foot to stand on. The relative
vote for and against prohibition in
the two sections Of the state situated
on either side of the Cascades Is not
at this moment available; but 1t Is
more than probable that in one or
the other section the majority was
for the wet" side of the question.
