Watch Yourself Pass By.


Chau, China. 1t sounds too much
like hay fever.
Almost any day now we are
looking for an agent to come around
with a book containing a complete
history of the European war.
Brand Whitlock was formerly
mayor of Toledo, Ohio, and accepted
his present position as ambassador to
Belgium, for the purpose of gaining
peace and quiet.
This war in Europe will settle the
immigration question, for with the
men all killed off over there, there
will be no surplus to come here.
We Americans in our fixed
determination to be neutral should be
careful in hotels to stifie preferences
for French fried or German
fried" potatoes and order them served
plain.
We heard man the other day
kicking for a chance to work. That
man was a false alarm. No man
who wants work these days need be
without employment ten hours.
Isn't it appalling-the success we
can make of hiding our faults from
ourselves? 1t is fact that the
most of us fool ourselves much more
than we fool anyone else.
The man who kicks through the
medium of the press on the pervail-
ing fashion in women's dress, is
always with us; he's worse than the
"poor.' Now, when we have form
enveloping capes and yards of tunics,
he's peeved because we are copying
European uniforms, thus perpetuating
the horrors of war! Can you beat
that! Our idea of emotional zero is
the frenzy thrown by men over
women's dress.
1t has now come to be kno wn that
a good auto driver is recognized by
the noise he doesn't make. If he
permits his engine to run away and
disturbs the whole of Main street, he
is novice; but if he stops and starts
in any easy, quiet manner, he is an
expert. Some who have had ma
chimes for years are still on the
novice list, while others have become
experts in few weeks.
If you feel like praying for peace,
Lemuel, go to it. Nevertheless,
much as we may desire peace, it is
going to take a Jim Dandy to pray
in absolute faith-the only sort of
petition the Heavenly Father ever
hears or answers-so long as ten
million men are going around with
rifles on their shoulders looking for
fight. NJ ost of US. while believers
in prayer, are good deal like Uncle
jumps Dysart, a famous pioneer
preacher of Monroe county. A pro-
longed drouth was spelling the crops,
and the people of several neighbor-
hoods had met at central point to
petition for rain. The first man
called upon for prayer was Uncle
jumps. Pm perfectly willing to
pray, brethen,'' said Uncle jumps,
land I'm going to do my best; but
my honest opinion is that it amt a
bit of use so long as the wind is in
the north. -
