HUMORS OF LAW.


We laugh at old Wouter van
Twiller.
Whose mode Of deciding q
case
Was to go by the looks and the
weight Of the books
Which the lawyers brought
into his place.
We Jest at his manner Of Judg-
ing
Because II IL queer In our eyes.
And the erudite way OF our Jur-
lists today
Show up as decidedly wise.
For now they determine on jus
tice
BY means that are noble to
see,
BY a comma misplaced In a
proofreader's haste
Or failure at crossing IT."
And having thus climbed TO per-
lection.
To Justice sans error or flaw,
Our laughter rings shriller at
wouter van Twiller
And his way OF deciding the
law.

While there is a great gulf between

rights are worth a struggle. But
even the lowest strata should insist

SHORT ONES

Mrs. Sayre, it is reported, walks the
floor with the baby when it has collie.
We suspect this story is a hideous
roorback, designed to win sufragists'
votes for the Republicans.
We hate being cynical, but why is
it that so many sewing machine
agents, patent medicine men and
shrubbery statesmen have gone into
the automobile business?
Judging from their numerous pho
tOgraphs the Castles are right about
not being estranged-at least, not
more than three inches estranged.
We will not be certain of President
Wilson's real trust in Secretary Bry-
an until he lets him wheel the new
baby through the park.
Let who will be president of Mex
leo, if Villa is wise he'll hereafter be
his own guardian of the treasury.
A good way to get more money
circulating would be to increase the
number of elections.
Bet you when the lawyers get
through with the case, ballplayers'
wages will be lower.
When the mantle of charity fits the
person it falls upon he isn't worth
much.

can make the most profit for his ex-
ploiter.

Crat.
WHO FOOTS THE BILL?-I meant
that the producers of all articles of
intrinsic value were the real payers
of all wealth originating from land,
sea and air. All that we eat, all that
we wear, and all things invented and
manufactured for our amusement
and benefit must naturally spring
from the land, sea and air. We can
have nothing of real value that does
not have to be worked out Of these
places.
Those who do not work to produce
articles of intrinsic value are non
payers. That is why l say that the
workers foot the bill every time. The
inventors, the mud and dirt singers,
the plumbers and all other useful
workers up and down the line are the
real payers.
No doubt Mr.. Williams is right in
his way Of thinking, but 1 never
meant it his way when l said that no
matter. how high the rich man is
taxed, or for what he is taxed, or in
what manner he is taxed, the worker
is bound to foot the bill The worker
foots the bill because he produces all
that fills the biIl-Frank Smith.

and disappeared in the direction Of
Greenville.
Fifteen minutes afterward, by the
time David had reached his brothers
house, Sissy Soper came from behind
a large oak tree and appeared to
saunter carelessly down the road past
Ebenezer's perch.
"Help!' shrilled the old man.
Sissy turned with remarkable intui-
ton and ran directly at Ebenezer's
tree. "Who be there?' he called.
"Look out for the BEAR" cautioned
Ebenezer. recognizing Sissy's voice.

Sissy's voice interrupted. with a note
Of malice:

Long after Sissy and the bear had
disappeared, Ebenezer Flocken sat in
the bending birch tree. staring into
space.
II wonder!' he muttered dazedly. II

But he never really discovered the
truth concerning the incidents of that
night. when David Gray married Hetty

full to his comfort.

wide, gray. unwavering eyes.
Il shall marry David Gray" she
said slowly as she turned away.
Ebenezer watched her slender, erect
figure as it passed out Of the door that
communicated with the adjoining
house.
When he was alone in the store he
looked around with lowering glance at
the shelves laden With groceries, at
the boxes and barrels that numbered
the floor and at the collection Of farm

licked it grecdily. II love 'lasses,' he

EheneZer choked over the words that
arose to his lips. He remembered just
in time that he was deacon In the
church and that Sissy Soper had
most uncanny way of absorbing facts
and repeating them parrot wise at
most inopportune moments.
In the meantime Hetty returned to
the lonely house and resumed her prep
