Ripping Rhymes

THE MlSSUS


 Be kind to the missus, who spends the long days in making your home worth the while. be free with en- couragement, gratitude, praise, and hand her corpulent smile. You go to your home from your job in the mart, and talk of the burdens you've borne, the cares that are rackng your galvanized heart, the ills that are making you morun. Sweet sym pathy comes from the lips of your wife, and love is aglow on her face; the Burdens and cares of her own weary life have nothing to do with the case. Suppose you forget your own troubles and woes, and think of the woes of the frau, whose cheeks long ago lost the bloom of the rose while wrinkles increased on her brow Suppose you remember the work she has done the endless routine of the years, the toll from the rising to set ting of sun, and always with work in arrears. Suppose you remember when she was a maid, and you were a love- smitten boy; you painted the future in opulent shade, and promised her comfort and joy. The missus will toll till she drops in her tracks, and goes to the rest up above, ignoring the pain and the strain and the tax, and all she's expecting is love.

A GREAT DUTCH cARToONIsT

Every great crisis has produced a great car toonst-one who has given voice to the soul thoughts of the people. Thus the present has arisen q young hitherto unknown outside limited circle who has portrayed for the mean ing of the world catastrophe. He is the Dutch art ist, Louis Teaemaekers of Amsterdam.
 Like Daumier he is the master of the gruesome. You feel also. that his heart like that of the master caricaturis of France breaks under the sufferinSs wars innocent victims. Almost uncanny the impressions he eaves-impressions of pallid faces. diated with horror, ashes and white walls, the silence and coldness of death Throughout all these phantasmagoric pictures there is of hope. hint of a partly obscured Death itself stalks through the pages his album, drinking from a cup of blood.
 Raemaekers is the portrayer of insanity, of fam inc, of despair. There is almost the touch of the madman in his work. It is like laughter in hell The ghosts themselves might have stepped from the grave and swept the crayon in cold lines his drawing board.-Cartcons Magazine

The End of the War

When will the end? That is question that one man may well as another. The con- bined wisdom of dozen of the foremost states men of Europe value in framing an answer than the foresight any you meet the street. The war may end in six months or it may last two three years
 The talk of exhaustion and attrhiou is all rot. A nation may become exhausted by war. but great nation is likely to become exhausted The south was exhausted by the civil war but the south was not nation.

A Physical Culture Game

One of our Arizona contemporaries, speaking of the educational appointments of the local schools for ensuing year, gratifed at the attention given by school authorities to physical culture A croquet ground has been prepared. Croquet is an interesting game. but have never regarded it as appurtenant physical culture. The exercise obtained croquet is only little more violent gets sitting in a game of checkers tiddle-dc- -winks. There is little more walking do in croquet than the noble game of chess. But 1t is less of test of physical endurance than poker. which only who sit all night body a mind hope at tain prominence and success.

NO HUNTING TWENTY
 YEARS HENCE?

The enormous annual increase in the number of men and boys who wish to go hunting, and kill some thing, is a condition that must be faced, whether we like it or not. Add to this factor the increase Tn the number and the deadliness of firearms the rapid increase in faciii- ties for getting at the game, and finally the craze for trophies, and the thoughtful man may well pause and inquire about the general result. The automobile now has become new and terrible factor in game de- struction, far beyond what the public yet knows.
 The unavoidable influences that make for game destruction already are appalling. We refer to the utili- ration of all available agricultural lands. the drainage of marshes, the extensions of cities and towns, the destruction of cover for small game; the increase of hunting cats, and the killing of female deer, moose, sheep and other big game. Throughout this land of a hundred million people every city, town, village and cross roads hamlet turns out its quota Of hunters and killers of wild life; and With dogs horses, automobiles, boats and guides they ranack, every year. every haunt of wild creatures called game
 Rarely indeed does any body of sportsmen, or hunters, do anything to increase" the supply of killable game! It is right there that the shoe pinches long and hard. The great mass of sportsmen and hunt CTS" do absolutely nothing to in crease wild life. Like the horse leech they cry: Give! Give!" and they give back nothing. Their ami nal hunting license fee is nothing in the world but a payment to have their favorite game protected from the other fellow until they them selves can get to it and shoot it. And today some sportsmen are talk ing great credit to themlselves and their kind, not because they and other sportsmen have increased the game supply, but because they have passed laws retarding the annihila ton of it And the men who now insist that things shall be done to increase the supply of game, and prevent species from being extermin- ated, are loftily spoken of as fla natics."
 One thing now should be appaSent to the dullest mind. It is that Nn less a great number of game sane tuaries are made and maintained in violate for the safe breeding and increase of big game. the noble sport of the big game hunting twen ty-five years hence will be limited to elk hunting around the Yellow stone National park, and deer hunt ing in such states as New York. Pennsylvania, Vermont and Maine, where deer are so preserved that they are breeding as rapidly as they are killed
 Which shall it be in 1940: a hundred more game sanctuaries dating back to 1915, or no big game hunting outside the four states named?

CENTURY MAGAZINE NOTES

good deal has been heard lately about the troubles brewing under the surface of English rule in India. But meanwhile a silent revolution, social, religious, education, is taking place in the Indian mind itself This is said to be the subpect of an article en-
 titled "The New Heart of Old India" !" announced for the September Century, the work of Basanta Koomar Roy, author of the recent study of Rabin
 dranath Tagore Fundamental are the changes noted by the author, himself an Indian Liberal: The rapid break ing up of the caste system, the abol-
 shing of the early marriage, which has so terribly undermined the phy- sical stamina of the race, marriage between castes, the remarriage of widowed girls, the spread of manual training among the pariah class, the universal spread of one dominant lan- guage, and the growth of education among women. All this in spite of the reactionaries who, it is amusing to learn, have just established line of steamships to England on which all the amenities of caste are to be rigidly upheld and who are on the point of erecting a hotel in London, so that strict Hindoos can travel with out compromising their position.
 Every man who bears in his heart the love of what is beautiful has two countries-his own and France. So says Herbert Adams Gibbons. author of The New Map of Europe" and Paris Reborn" explaining the title of his article "A Mans Other Coun- try announced for the September Century. MT. Gibbons knows France from top to bottom, having lived there for a number of years. and continu- ously since the war began, and he is said to follow in his article the daunt- less people through their fears, hopes, obssessions, follies and glorieS during the war and reveal secrets of the French attitude only dimly shadowed forth before. An interesting supple ment to the article will be series of drawings by the well know artist Lester G. Hornby, who was with MT. Gibbons during the months described in the article.

TlMIDITY BALkS TALENT

great deal of talent is lost in the world for the want of a little coura ge Every day sends to their graves a number of obscure men who have only remained obscure because their timid- 1ty has prevented them from making a first effort; and who if they could only have been induced to begin, would in all proba bility have gone great lengths in the career of fame

HAD FLATS IN THE YEAR i
Ancients Had Modern Conveniences, a
 Clergyman Declares

The boastfulness of the modern man over ancient man was punctured at several points by the Rev. Camden NJ. Cobern, archelogist of Allegheny Col lege, Meadville, Pa, who was one of the speakers at the Bible conference at Winona Lake, Ind. MT. Cobern's picture of the citizen of the year l, or thereabouts living in ease, luxury and with convenience. is based on his own research and that of other investigators of the earth's pioneers.
 Flats for Rent Even Then Here are some of the things de- scrihed by Doctor Cobern, which ex- isted at the period contemporaneous with the beginning of the Christian era:
 Shorthand was as common then as it is now. Elevators were run in certain pala- tial homes
 Pipe organs driven by water power were in use. Flats were for rent Roads were built on concrete from three to five feet deep. excelling the best boulevards of the present day Commuters lived in the suburbs of the cities.
 Surgical instruments were in use. similar to use which a certain Amer
 ican physician invented, not having
 heard of the ancient instrument. Ephesus had a library unequaled by any Carnegie has erected.
 There were seventy trades unions in
 Rome and many disputes on wages One ancient epicure, gave a dinner of which tho fish cost x4D
 a plate.
 Another spent s35.OOO for roses. An other spent s2OO,O for rugs. St. Paul No Pig Catcher Doctor Cobern asserted that St. Paul had bow legs and was married. He was not to be blamed for either fact,
 Doctor Cobern said, for he was born with crooked legs and could not es- cape censure if he declined matrimony
 as the ecclesiastical law of his time al
 lowed only married men to vote.
 Doctor Cobern also asserted his be- lief in evolution.
 T believe in evolution he said. be cause of the consensus of expert testl-
 monv and also because there are now so many monkeys and beasts among
 men.
 'The church ought not to be eX-
 pected to believe literally in the
 story of mans creation from the
 aust and woman's creation by a sur
 gical operation from the rib of man. Adam means humanity, not simply q single man. The fall of man IS
 the fall of any man. It is not sim
 ply d doctrine, but an experience. - Rev W. E. Norton in Chicago IT'D

THE CHAUFFEUR A ROBBER

No woman would have cared to take on the job of the earliest chauffeurs. For long before the ar rival of the motor car the chauffeur existed. The name was applied to bands of robbers practicing in the border lands between France and Germany at the close of the eigh teenth century. They earned the name (and lived up to iD by a habit of scorching their victims feet to expedite the revelation of the hiding place of his money. Rnmor had it that the bands were encour- aged by the eXiled royalists of France. and, at any rate, their eXter imitation was one of NapoleOn's first tasks when he became first consul-Lonoon Chronicle

Even if postal facilities are further reduced, London will still be better off in this respect than many other capl- tals Even in New York, so common ly regarded as the city of hustle, the post office is not nearly so quick in dealing with correspondence as in Lon don's With the curtailed service of war time you can still send a letter across London in a few hours.

 And that seems to remind one to ask what society really IS. Of course it has been explained; but for the benefit of those who are at tempting to break into it, it nigh: be mentioned that they would find il just about as comforting as breaking into jail. Of course I do not mean REAL society," allude to that thing that has degenerated men and debauched women for ages gone and is still carrying on it's work that thing that knows not law or license-that thing, into which many good but misguided men and women are striving so hard to enter-that thing which we CALL society. Thank God this cannot be applied to our own small community-yet. Though we may have an aspirant or two.
 It may be >because the West is so large. It may be because this great and boundin' West is so un- settled. It may be because of the atmosphere-but I know there is something that has made the Ameri- can westerner broad. Back younder where it's all settled up'-where domains are small and waoes too. where you can't look out and get a View'-iSn't it possible that every thing else, such as mentality and trifles like that, narrow up some what? Don't you think that you would have a whole lot of empty and closed up cells in your brain cranium if you had to live in cramped up. closed in and viewless environment? Out here we get an opportunity for brain development, and the measliest. orneryest intel lectual vag on earth has an oppor- unity to GROW BIG in this mans country if he isn't too far gone when he gets here. Of course we have a few here who have COME TOO LATE.
 And that may be the cause of our knocking street paving into a cooked hat
 On the other hand-now wit ye Well-we are prone to OVERdevel- cpment. For en sample, there is the prohibition law. Now I do not object to such a law as a rule; but they ENFORCE it here, and that is OVERdevelopment.
