the six leading candidates. in
this campaign. No one can tell
who the winner will be yet. A
few long term subscriptions to

which accounts for the complete

One of the principal attTac-

For Another Euripidc s.

II some poet or dramatist as great
as Euripides were to rise from the
wreck of this war and write of what
he had seen he could not better the
denunciation in "The Trojan Women"
which runs, in part, How are ye
blind, We treaders down of cities,
yourselves so soon to die" Those
lines were spoken when this play was
presented in the new stadium of the
City college. They brought homo to
all who heard them the sickening real
ization that Europe has sloughed of
its veneer of civilization and is back
where 1t was six centuries before the
birth of Christ, when ancient Greece,
too, believed that she had emerged
from barbarism and did not see the
ruin then impending. In France, in
Belgium, in northern Italy and on the
windy plains of ancient Troy itself the
shade of Euripides might again de-
nounce those that cast temples to
desolation and lay waste tombs, the
untrodden sanctuaries where lie the
ancient dead" In morals and lust for
blood Europe has reverted to the days
of the cave man.

NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Transfers Words Would Have Re-

Use in the Pulpit.

A man was brought before a police
court charged with abusing his team
and using loud and profane language
on the street. One of the witnesses
was a pious old darby, who was sub

did the defendant use improper
language while he was beating his
horses?" asked the lawyer.
well, he talk mighty loud, subj"
did he indulge in profanity"
The witness seemed puzzled. The
lawyer put the question in another
form:
What l mean, Uncle Aus, is-did
he use words that would be proper for
your minister to use in a sermon?"
ooh, yes subj" the old man replied
with grin that revealed the full
width of his immense mouth; "but

What's a Boy Made For?

How different a Batwa dwarf boy
from the American boy mentioned in
the following paragraph from Detroit
exchange: There was a big icicle
hanging in the corner just over a store
door on Michigan avenue, and as the
weather softened up, and people be-
came afraid to enter the building, the
proprietor came out to a crowd on the
sidewalk to see what could be done.
Somebody might hit it from the roof,
suggested one. Or you might get one
of the long fire ladders observed a
second. I think charge of buckshot
would bring it down. said third
man, as he closed his left eye and took

years old came along just then, and
when he understood the situation, he
inquired of the grocer: Will you give
a Teller a nickel to get her DOWN.
Yes, five Of EN- Gimme a tater!'
A good-sized potato was handed him,
and he stepped back into the street,
peeled off his coat, and sent the tuber
whiZzing. 1t struck the icicle at the
butt, and brought 1t down with great
crash, and as the crowd cheered, the
boy pocketed his quarter, and humbly
observed: Wonder what they thought
a boy was made fur, anyhow"

INsURINe LIVES OF OTHERS
Practice That Is Largely Prevalent,
Though It Is IIlegal-How It Is
Done in the Trenches.

A recent case before the courts
threw considerable light upon the
penchant some people have for specu-
lating in other peoples lives. One
woman held life assurances on her
parents, her children, her mother-in-
law, her brothers and several friends.
OF course that sort of thing is illegal,
but 1t seems to be flourishing busi-
ness nevertheless.
But hope delayed maketh the heart
sick and after the insurers have kept
the premiums paid up to pretty well
the amount they would gain from the
insurance company, they see their
profit melting away and call the law
to free them from their investment,
claiming their premiums back on all
sorts of ingenious defenses.
Rather a rotten business, but we are
assured that 1t is much more preva-
lent than we have an idea of. There
must be a tremendous temptation to
assist fate at times, and in any case,
when relatives form the chief invest.
ment on these lines, it must be rather
exasperating to have them politely in.
form us that they are quite well,
thank you"
One recalls that scandalous comic"
song that had such a vogue a while
back wherein an irritated hubby sang
that he was stony broke with wad
Of dough staring him in the face!
Some of the stories of the sweep
stakes" in the trenches are equally
disturbing. The name of each man in
the regiment going into action is put
into a hat and every man puts up a
franc. The money is divided between
all those who drew the name of a
man who is still alive or unwounded
at the end of the day! A soldier can
spite chap holding his name by de-
liberately counting the attentions of
bullet. On the other hand, it tends
to make them tenderly considerate of

Honey Shortage In Britain.

Even the bee feels the war. Ger
many has always been the largest buy
er Of American honey, but this year
has taken only $4,000 worth. There
is honey shortage in England, how
ever, and our bees may be happy yet
Taken altogether, according to official
reports coming to the department OF
commerce, American bees have be
haved handsomely this year. They
have made an unusually large crop
the average yield being 1862 pounds
for every colony, as compared with
1922 pounds last year.
Our ordinary crop is 100000
pounds, and it will be greater thar
that this year. Prices are down, how
ever, because of the shifting market
and heavy yield, and also because Of
very much heavier crop in the West
Indies, which is handled here. This
country has never sent much honey tc
England. Only $4,000 worth went
there last year.
