q IGNTFICANT Of the vast area
under arms in the great Euro
pean conflict are the number and
variety OF dumb brutes employed in
the war. The list includes horses,
mules, oxen, dogs, camcls and ele-
plants. All these are active in the
prosecution Of the campaigns in the
various zones of hostiiities And
even goats play their part, make
their contribution, for the Indian
troops Of Great Britain look to them
as a source Of important food supply.

HERE are three kinds Of Kick
some men.
The mule kick, because he was
born that Wa,': the shotgun be-
cause il was built that way, ans
the human being because it is a
right thoughtlessi siy granted TO him
by the constitution.
The human kicker Is divided into
two kiuds-acute and chronic. The
acute kicker kicks because he has
something to kick at. He kicks IN
til he removes the object and then
subsidies. His ailment is more vio-
lent, but he usually RECEIVERS. For
the chronic kicker, however, there
is no hope. He must kick to live.
Nature has shamelessly connected
his lungs with his hind legs. and
the only way to stop his kicking is
to shut Off his breath. This was
often done in the good old days
when human life was SO cheap that
a patriot could go out With an axe,
and get enough culls and seconds

the kicker live. The most we can
do to him is to elect him to Office or
encourage him to buy a racing
automobile.
The chronic kicker stands forever
in the road with his heels pointed
toward progress. He kicks on
taxes, on street paving, on improve
ment societies, on congress, on the
price OF salt, on the Supreme
Court, on the minister of his
church. on the plan TO take up a

i TT THE mere violence Of a cough

alarming Of all, and a severe pneu-

any attention at ALL

planning Of "eold on the chest

q tearing and a Pulling at their very

locating the lesion by the symptom,

they conclude that there must be
something the matter with their

Confidence is Hope realized. It

Money Is what the root Of all evil

less than fifty theuEand,
II he gets past that point, there's

Andy Carnegie says he doesn't
want to die rich. but he is deter

There IS very little connection
between money and happiness.
But tile lack Of il when needed

But he cant reconcile himself to

William J. Bryan IS fond to ex-

He IS. however, very fond Of

better to do so. Hence 1t would not
be amiss to insert the place OF resi-

Further, if one of the parties should
be a trustee or a guardian or an exec
