LUKE McLukE SAYS.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


There are all sorts of people in the
world, including the man who is sore
because the train isn't wrecked when
he takes out an accident policy before
making a trip.
The old-fashioned wife who used to
darn her husbands socks now has
daughter who darns her husband
when he wants his socks mended.
The trouble about the fast young
man is that he is never going in the
right direction.
1t isn't the way you look at other
girls that makes your wife mad; it's
the way you don't look at her.
You can always f1atter a married
woman by telling her that she doesn't
look it.
Railway men in Germany may only
belong to such societies as are ap-
proved by the management.
Friend Wife is usually pretty good
old scout. How many men would stay
at home until they had to move the
furniture in each room once week
to keep from getting the ferries?
Every time butter goes up one cent
per pound Father has to come up to
the Dutchman's place at the Corner
and spend 81 indignating about the
Robber Syndicates and the Porch
Climbing Trusts.
A man doesn't have to be a coward
to be afraid of his wife. The man
who isn't afraid of his wife when he
has done something he shouldn't
haven't done hasn't much of a wife.
Some day when we get so that we
will tell the truth about things there
will be lot of tOmbstoneS in
scribed: "He Never Blamed the
Booze"
When we do not like a man we go
around and say so to every stranger
we meet. But, somehow or other, we
never think of telling the man him
SELF.
After a girl has been engaged four
times and failed to make the hook
stay put, she always looks as though
she was lodging the Dog Catcher.
The old-fashioned man who used to
| buy gold bricks now has a son who
wants to see the blue prints before ne
will invest a dime in United States
/ bonds.
You can always bet that the lad
who whines that he is being kept
down is always the last one up.
The world is growing better. The
stock of Male Sopranos isn't nearly
as large as it used to be.

GERMAN CRUISERS
NEED COAL BADLY
Unless They Capture Enemy's
Ships Their Bunkers Will
Be Empty.

Washington, Aug. Naval officers
are expecting news of the capture by
German cruisers, understood to be ly-
ing off the North Atlantic coast, of a
number of British, French and Bel
gian merchant ships. Unless that is
done they do not know how the Ger
man cruisers can maintain their sta
tions much longer for lack of fuel.
With calm weather and a smooth sea
il is possible to transfer coal at sea
from the bunkers Of merchantmen
TO warship.
The only other recourse for coal
would be shore port. The German
cruisers may take coal once only at an
American port within three months and
then q sufficient amount to convey them
tC the nearest home port, which would
be in Germany. This would enable
each vessel to take on about two weeks
coal supply, and if that was carefully
used while the ships were lying with
banked fires off shore they might, If
not pursued by an enemy's cruisers,
maintain their positions for perhaps
a month, but scarcely longer; and in
that case they would find themselves
with empty bunkers and unable TO
reach home port, though they might
get into ST. Thomas, the only neutral
port within their reach. There, again,
they might take coal once only.
