"Oh. some of US will sit out on tho

it warm; we have been up all winter,
you know.
When Mr.. Bear was not looking
Bonnie put some pepper on the lot
stove and he put in on good, too.
Pretty soon it began to smoke, and
before Bonnie or his brothers and sis
tiers, who were inside the door, could
run out they sneezed, and before they
could think Mr.. Bear sneezed, too.
The only thing any of them could
remember was hearing Mr.. Bear start
to sneeze. "A-ch -choo,' and then
something happened.
Rabbits went through the windows,
rabbits flew to the top of the room
and bumped their heads and then
came down on the floor with a bump
that made their teeth shake.
When it was all over all the little
Rabbit children could be seen sitting
about on the ground outside Mr..
Bears house, holding their heads and
asking one another what had hap
pened.
Bonnie Rabbit was in the house.
fore Mr.. Bear sneezed, and there he
sat on the floor, with his head held
in both paws, looking very much be-
wildered. And then he sneezed again,
and so did Mr.. Bear, and this time
Bonnie ran out before he was blown
out, as some of the others had been.

Germany is now an excellent illus
tration of the difficulties that sur
round anyone that happens to get
caught between two fires. While
General Won Hindenberg, with a large
ly augmented army was winning his
victory in the eastern theater of the
war, the Allies began successful as
saults against the German positions
in the western arena. And the kaiser
is now compelled to rush huge num-
bers of his men from the eastern
front to stay the advances on his west
ern front. BY the time, probably, that
these forces get in action against the
Belgians, the English and the French,
the Russians will be in a position
again to take the offensive against the
weakened German forces of the East
Prussian border. In other words, the
Germans have a mighty tough and an
noying military problem on their
hands.

purely local character with which each

THE MAIL ORDER CINcH

No wonder the great mail order
house can divide a $20,O00,OOO divi-
dend. They pay taxes upon q COM
paratively small quantity of stock car
ried at the points of distribution and
do not pay one cent towards building
bridges and roads, towards keeping
up schools. or lighting the streets of
the thousands of communities from
which they draw trade. Neither do
they extend cent of credit to the
man out of work, nor make a hurry
up delivery of ten cents worth of groc-
cries in time for dinner. The service
which requires expense is demanded
of the home merchant and the mail
order man escapes with a simple ex-
change of merchandise for money

HOW WOULD IT HELP THE WIFE?
The proneness of the average legis-
lative mind to go off at half-cock
was strikingly illustrated the other
day by the Indiana state senate when
1t passed unanimously Senator Jack
sons lazy husband" bill. This in
creases the penalties for nonsupport
to a fine not exceeding $500, to which
may be added Imprisonment for six
months. Such a measure might be in
convenient to the worthless husband.
though some are recalled to whom
such a punishment" would probably
appeal as a vacation at public expense.
But how would it help the neglected
and distressed wife and children?
Wouldn't their situation be- as a rule
worse with this law than without it ?
The average lazy husband" usually
does something toward the support
of his family, if he stays around them
at ALL He may not do much, but oc-
casionally he does something. And
when shut up in Jail he is excused for
doing nothing at all The bill is. of
course, merely another illustration of
the folly of filming and failing people
when the circumstances are such that
these penalties do not fit the offense
and punish the injured and the inno-
cent even more than the guilty.-Chi-
cago Herald.

Welcome exceptions.
BY ROY K. MOULTON


Welcome exceptions.
Old Ebenezer Ephraim Browns
Consid' rim how things go;
He says he thinks the worlds all
right 80
The cheerfulest man I know.
There's no more hopeful, cheerful
Than jeremiah Green;
He says this worlds the best old
That he has ever seen.
Ez Haskins is a fine old tad,
OF earth he is the salt.
He says that when the world goes bad
It's feller's own burned fault.
Uncle Abner Says:
Every Teller has got the best oatmobile
in the world, but he is gen ally willing
1t amt no trick to belong to the silk
stocking" element any more. You kin get
a pair of 'em for two bits.
If every fellers sanity was judged by
the love letters he has written, the insane
asylums would have to turn 'em away
and there wouldn't be nobody to act as
keepers.
The main difference between vaudeville
and the higher forms of dramatic art Is
that there Is more money in vaudeville.
The fellers that never had a chance are
gen ally the ones that gather around the
bank directors table later in life
Civilization is certainly advancing some.
You hardly ever see q plug hat on the
streets any more.

A Snap.

A Snap.
The president has got a snap.
All that he's got to do
Are just the things that are dead sure
To tickle me and you
And ninety million other folks,
And then he is true blue.
And when the president is wrong,
We raise an awful fuss;
We say that he has got himself
Into a frightful muss.
And he is always wrong when he
Does not agree with us.

Time Soon.
That man must be
Extremely narrow
Who won't agree
To swat the sparrow.
And he of brains
Must be quite shy
Who never designs
To swat the fly.
And is he not

Who tries to swat
The caterpillar?
Twill soon be time
For time is fleet
To lie awake
And swat the skeet.
