LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Even when friend husband admits the charges friend wife hates to admit that he is telling the truth
 woman does not enjoy kissing as much as you think she does. What she does enjoy Is the knowledge that you find her kssable
 Married life would be bliss if a wife would try as hard to hold her temper as she tries to hold her complexion.
 Nc woman likes to hear her husband getting a bawling out from another man. She figures that the other man is usurp- ing her privilege.
 A woman can sit down and worry over the fact that. she can't find anything to worry about
 Any old time you meet a reformed gam bier you are meeting an unsuccessful gambler.
 What has become of the old fashioned man who used to sit on soap box in iron; of a store and whittle stick all day?
 Tho old-fashioned boy who used to be yanked out to the woodshed every day and got a good lambasting because he was lazy now has a son Yho Is sent to a sanatorium and treated for the hook worm
 The eugenic marriage may keep each of the contracting parties from getting sick But 1t won't keep them from getting sick of each other Tho average man imagines that waste baskets were intended to throw things at. Anyway, the fellow who marries for money usually gets as much money as the fellow who marries for love gets love
 If prohibition could make men good | there would be no more work for clergy men. etditors or jailers After you have roamed around the world for while you will discover that the people who have least to complain about do most of the kicking. Every now and then you will hear some big mouth yelping about a misstatement made by a newspaper. But if we were all as careful what we say as the news papers are there wouldn't be much trouble 1 in the world | Never try to guess mans name from thf initials on the handle of the umbrella he is carrying.

HoBsON's LATEST SPEECH

Atlantic City Special to the New York Sun
 Former Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson's attack on President Wilson Thursday was the feature of the meeting of the Anti-Saloon league.
 q am on the inside,'' said Hobson. T was down in that fight in Congress last year. and 1t opened my eyes. Liquor is going to see to it that for the President of America there is groomed some repub- lican like ex-Senator Root or ex-President Taft. or some progressive like Governor Whitman
 Now, the democratic partys liquor strategy Is more subtle. It Is more dan gerous. I know what I am talking about There Is working understanding. know The plan is for the President to be renominated in spite of the one-term plank in the platform And MT. Bryan is going to support the President for that nomina tion, although he did more to put that one-term plank in that platform than any other man
 That is the first part of the under standing. The second part is that the President will write the platform, and the third part is that the President, on the plea of state rights will put in the plat form a plank consgning the question of prohibition to the jurisdiction of the in- dividual states and thus defeat national prohibition. MT. Underwood and others will probably run as decoys to keep the prohibition vote in the south from being on guard. He and the other leaders expect and understand the President to be nomi- mated, but he and the others will run as decoys, and the whole object is to have the support of the liquor interests.
 Tt is probably political suicide to tell you the truth from the inside, but if po- litical death is the price of doing your duty I am willing to pay the price was the original Wilson man of Alabama, but was in charge of our fight on the floor of the House, and if you want to know, my friends, the whole power of the President and his great office was hurled against us in that fight The President in this attitude and the leaders behind him. including MT. Bryan, do not represent the will of the American peo- pie or the will of the majority of their own party Does the effort to have only wet men to choose from at the republican national convention represent majority of the republican party?
 Before any names are put before these conventions before any log rolling sets in, let's have resolution for national prohibition submitted. I am as good democrat, l believe. as walks on the American continent, yet l will stand with you if we pledge ourselves in advance to support the party that stands for the people
 If both of them reject our just de- mands, then we will call a convention forthwith of independents of all parties"

 "They were good masters, too, we circus children had. My mother died soon after I was born, and the circus people took me along with the show. Billy Dutton adopted me, as the ex- pression went. and that used to mean that the youngster was an apprentice to the man who adopted him for five years.
 After that he was an artist Billy Dutton guided me and taught me. He taught me all the circus work. was punshed whenever l missed a step, or fumbled pass in juggling. My teacher would rap me on the knuckles, just as teachers of arithmetic and geography do when pupil is stupid That was my school.
 What did I learn? I learned to speak three languages, I learned 10 juggle and juggle anything. I learned to walk the high tight wire, and the slack wire I learned to ride any horse. bareback or with saddle, and I learned to ride two horses at once. More than that I can ride two horses and carry person on my shoulders And l learned to make a living, and learned to work for it.

 Pero laughs when he says he kne " TO school but the circus because he can afford to. He cannot only perform in the ways he says but his old school ing has given him an education in the essentials of ordinary everyday living. He can write, talk, think just the same as the average business man, maybe q bits better. Pero's schooling may have been peculiar, but it was thorough and comprehensive.

Delightful River E,scur.ion

About 300 Birmingham people went on the regular Sunday excursion to the War rlor river yesterday. Tn speaking or the trlp Charles E. Russell said last night:
 IL was most delightful outing, and every one of the excursionists spoke of it with enthusiasm. Leaving the train at Barney landing we boarded the steamer Martha Hinnen, and had a round tgp of 50 miles on the river.
 These excursions will grow in popu- larity as soon as the public learns how attractive they are. The steamer is not only a roomy and well furnished boat, but the officers are models of courtesy"

A Polite Town

Municipal politeness may be the next reform to sweep oyer the land. Occa- sionally there have been rumors afloat of some unusually conscientious city insisting upon some degree of courtesy to be shown by street car men, police and other public servants toward the people who pay the taxes.
 Now Elizabethtown, N. J., is set ting the fashion of what might be termed "civil polteness." Elizabeth town not only requires courtesy from it's employees, but sets the example it. self.
 For instance, signs in that city are worded carefully. Motorists are noti- fled by sign:
 "This is the village of Elizabeth town. Please slow down to twenty miles an hour" On the reverse side the sign reads, Thank you"
 Whether or not motor cop" lays in wait just beyond the thank you'' side of the sign, is not made plain in newspaper reports, but it is assumed that the moral suasion contained in the highway legend is sufficient to regulate the speed of tourists.
 If the Elizabethtown method is eff ficacious, it will prove a considera- ble saving in public funds, and there will be more motor "cops' seeking other lines of employment.

A Desirable Convention

The annual convention of the Fed eration of Musicians which met in San official representative of the Birming ham Musicians local, was a very fine body and l hope some day to see the convention in this city, said Frank Ar rico, recently appointed state president for Alabama.
 Tt costs several thousand dollars to entertain our annual convention, but as Birmingham has the convention habit now it will probably extend an invi- tation to the federation to come here within the next few years.
 T will use my efforts to secure the convention whenever Birmingham Is ready for It."

From the Salina (Kan.) Union.
 One-third of the fools in the country think they can beat lawyer expound- ing the laws One-half think they can beat the doctor healing the sick. Two thirds of them think they can put the minister in the hole expounding the gospel and all of them think they can beat the editor running a paper.

NEW TIMES

By James Russell Lowell. New times demand new measures and
 new men. The world advances and in time out
 grows The laws that in our fathers days were
 best And. doubtless, after us some purer
 scheme Will be shaped out by wiser men than we, Made wiser by the steady growth of
 truth, The time is ripe, and rotten-ripe, for
 change: Then let it come: have no dread of what Is called for by the instinct of mankind. Nor think I that Gods world would fall
 apart Because we tear a parchment moro or
 less; Truth Is eternal, but her effluence. With endless change. is fitted to the hour: Her mirror Is turned forward to reflect The promise of the future, not the past

When Mrs. Carroll removed her cake
from the oven 1t was noticed that 1t had
risen well. One of the elderly house
keepers asked her how it was that the
cake did not fall, as she had opened the
oven while It was cooking in order that
the audience might get the points OF her
lecture.
"As the heat is entering the oven all the
time in gas range 1t makes little differ
ence In the temperature If the doors are
opened frequently, as the air is constantly
passing around the ovens, while with a
coal range the air does not circulate SO
freely and tho cake Is disturbed by the
opening of the door," was her answer.
