Poor Comfort.

Richard Croker, at a dinner at the
Democratic club, in New York, said
Of the war:
Everybody is telling the comba-
tants in Europe what a regenerated
world it will be after the war is over
no more armament firms, no more con-
scription, no more race rivalry.
But the way they are getting
killed off, the combatants must feel
about all this consolation like Tim
Grady.
Tim Grady lay in his sick bed
groaning and moaning.
Are ye very bad, Tim?' asked his
wife.
No. said he. It's the doctor I'm
thinkin' of. What a bill It'll be. to
be sure, to be sure
Shure. now, Tim,' said his wife.

THE WAR BENT.

I'VE give our children drums to beat
w Before they stand upon their feet
We give them swords and soldiers gay,
And at the game of war they play.
We bend the twig of humankind.
Yet marvel IL the trees inclined.
E,ARLY we learn that might is right,
- That life itself Is one long fight.
This worlds a battlefield. we teach
Business is war-a common speech.
We bash our brother on the nose.
Yet weep IL nations come to blows.
OUR poems and pictures, hooks and plays
" The doughty deeds of warriors praise
Our mode of speech, our mode of life.
Are echoes of the ancient strife.
The women dress au militaire
Yet-"wars a horrible AFFAIR.""

word of his appointment as governor and
comm ander of the naval station at the
island of Guam, as told in an item in this
paper last week.

States by the treaty of Paris in 1898. OF
its population of 1880, three hundred
sixty-three are foreigners and the rest of |
Chamorro stock intermixed with Philip
pine Tagals and Spaniards. The natives |
are very dark mahogany or chocolate
color and follow farming mostly as a
means of livelihood. They arevery poor
but their condition has been improved |
lnder American rule. There is a small |
colony of lepers on the island segregated
only after American occupation. Guam
serves as a naval station and port of
,ines, at which army transports call

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR
BOOSTING GUTHRIE

Build good roads into town and the
farmer will visit you.
A town is like a girl. It's wonder
full what little fixing up will do for
her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a living,
but the street corner is a poor collec-
ton agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the gin
ger in them
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
If you would like to have somebody
working for you, put little money in
the bank
1t improves the soup to throw lit
tie pepper into it, Same way with
town.
If you spend all that you earn, some
other fellow is banking your money.
Many a young man goes away to
seek his fortune when Fortune is
seeking for him at home.
Plaster your house and everybody
will follow your example. Lath and
the world laths with you.
You've got to be citizen in order
to vote; but you've got to do good
deal more than vote to be citizen.
If you will consider the men in this
town who are well off you will find
that most of them made their money
here.
The big things were not all done in
the big towns. The greatest poem in
the English language was written in a
country churchyard.
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes
in an effort to improve the town, and

birthday" 1t has been practiced
with great success by DR.. Charles b.
Reed, Wesley Memorial hospital, Chi
cago, and DR.. James d. Voorhees,,
associated professor of obstetrics in
Cornell university
1t consists of making appointments
with the stork at the doctors, rather
than the stork's option, and it has
been made possible by set of meas
urements worked out by DR.. Ahfeld
a German scientist and obstetric,an
and by an invention of DR.. Voorhees,.
For a year or more he has never
had night case or received the con-
signments of the stork except by such
arrangements as one might make
with DENTS: or dressmaker. In
that time he has allowed 100 or more
babies to choose their own birthdays
within limits.
The scope of birthday choosing is
span of two weeks before the stork
must come, willy nilly. Any day in
those two weeks that suits little
Johnny or mother-totbe If it does
not conflict with the choice of some
other mother, in which case another
day within two weeks leeway is
chosen for the birthday.

card from the doctor saying in eff
feet:

day or Thursday as the case may be,
"for you, and will you please present
yourself at Wesley hospital and get
your little boy or your little girl?"
The mama-to-be goes to the hos
pital the night before the day named
on the card. Eearly in the morning
the doctors assistant calls on her
and tells her what to do, and after
four hours DR.. Reed comes, and any
time after that, but eight hours at
the latest, Dr. Stork arrives and
there's the baby.

tenn follows natural laws. He calls it

row escape from death in quicksand,
during the filming of one of the
scenes along the Santa Ynes river,
near Santa Barbara, Cal. II was while
Russell was crossing the river at a
shallow spot that death swept down
upon him unawaTes and would have
encompassed him had it not been for
his remarkable strength
liussell had proceeded but a short
distance over the shallow water
when the cameraman saw him sud
denly throw his arms in the air and
begin to disappear from view. Slowly
but surely the quicksand was drawing
him to death when Director w. d.
Taylor, realizing that something had
gone wrong. organized a rescue force
and hurried to his assistance, in
structing the cameraman not to stop
his crank. The fight for life which
Russell was making, together with the
rescue squad at work, was recorded
by the machine, furnishing one of the
most graphic scenes ever screened.
Director Taylor managed to get a
lariat over Rassell's shoulders, and
after some hard work got him ashore,
little the worse for his unusual ex-
perience.
