Village Philosophy.
BY M. G.. R

by M. ". II.
Some folks are too lazy to take
the easiest sort of job.
1t is hardly possible to hard aur-
face the roads with hard words
against those who differ with Eou
about the way to do it.
The biggest fool is the one who
imagines that what is foolish for
others to do may be made to lpk
like wisdom in him.
The village street sprinkler las
had an easy job of it this summer.
The fellow who is always trying
to get ahead of somebody never
makes as much Roadway as he I'M
AGNES.
Few folks are ever as deceitful as
they try to be, because you can see
clear through so many of them with
half an eye.
When you pry some men loose
from little money it hurts them SO
bad they never forget it.
You can tell a good deal about a
man by the sort of folks who re-
him after he is gone.
If it were permissible to pave the
highways with the skulls of some
pavements!
A crouch is the only thing you
can induce some folks to persist in.
1t is strange that some apparent
ly rather smart men will allow
themselves to become all upset with
an ambition for an Office which
doesn't amount to a great deal.
Two faced folks think they see
all sides of you.
Some folks fiatter themselves so
much that nobody else cares to.
The best of good roads will not
encourage some folks to travel
straight.
Love has to be blind you know to
be much of success in this world.
Lashing the invisible government
makes visible sores.

YOUTH GIVES HIM
SELF UP TO POLICE
Says He Embezzled $4,000 Four
Weeks Ago.

Waterloo, Ia, Sept. 14.-Haunt
ing fear that officers We're lurking
everywhere to take him into custody
is said to have impelled Reinhold
Beimler, 23 years old, to give him
self up at the local police station
Saturday night on a charge of en-
bezzling $4,000 from the Prudential
Insurance company of New Jersey.
81 committed embezzlement in
Chicago four weeks ago. said the
young man as he rested his head on
the night sergeants desk and Sob
bed. He explained that the sum
taken lasted only three weeks on
"the great white way" and he drift
ed into Waterloo, without friends
and broke.
Beimler loitered about the station
for more than an hour before he
went inside. The uniformed police
officers and the sight Of the bars
seemed to fascinate him. Now and
then he caught glimpses of the steel
doors and the cages in the rear of
the city hall. The changing of a
heavy door caused the young man
to start and he skunk back into a
shadow as a patrolman passed by.
After an hours waiting, summoning
all his courage, he walked into the
quarters. The officer took
the stranger at his word and locked
him up. Later a message was sent
to police headquarters in Chicago.
