What's the Use?
Before leaving for Corfu on his
vacation the Kaiser issued two COM
mands, directing society people how
to behave themselves at their own
dinner tables.
The first order was that they
should not sit at dinned more than
forty-five minutes; the second, that
the gentlemen, instead of lingering
for a while alone to smoke and tell
man stories, should rise when the
ladies retire from the board and go
with them into the drawing-room
1t is added that fashionable society
is going meekly to obey.
1t is getting to be a nice, fine
world, thanks to the zeal of the regu-
lators.
indianapolis has a dance censor,
lady who hangs arouuI whenever
dance is given and sees to it that
visiting card can be inserted be-
tween the tangoers.
A town in Wisconsin sees Indian
apolis and raises. Anybody caught
dancing the tango is jerked up and
fined. by heck! Also the dancing
school has been closed.
1t is as much as a mans reputa-
ton is worth to ride in a crowded
street car. Some pure-minded vir-
gin is liable to have him arrested for
standing too near, or for not stand
ing near enough.

can run. The fact that you have
been a church member for forty
years and are old, bald and reputable
can not save you from being ar

In Germany the police swooped
down upon postal card the other
day. 1t depicted woman leaning
out of the window with a baby in
her arms; she was calling to a man,
presumably the father of the child.
What's wrong with that? Ha! the
Sherlock Holmes Berlin police know.
In the picture the woman did not
wear a wedding ring.
You can't kiss pretty girl, even
when she dares you. for fear of mi
crobes You can't marry her without
a certificate from the eugenists. And
if you don't marry her she sues you
for breach of promise.
II you don't make money you are
a failure; il you do make money
you are worse, for you are taking
the shoes and stockings out of the
poor mans mouth; if you go to
church you are a hypocrite; if you
go to the saloon you are a bum.
Johnny" said his mother. "go
out in the yard and see what Willie
is doing. And whatever it is, tell him
to stop it,"

Well Have to Wear White Sock.
II the European war does not
cease within a few weeks and there

dyes comes from Germany. 1t is said
that there is no aniline produced
in this country. Manufacturers of
dyed goods have practically exhaust
ed the supply in this country.

by agents for the purpose of buying
up the entire supply. 1t is stated
that there is sufficient dye on hand
to last about two months.
