other and Causes Trouble and
Expense to Our Parents.

Most of the trouble in this old
world is caused by thoughtless per
sons who make sad blunders mostly
because they do not think. How often
do you hear your playiiates say, "Oh,
] didn't think" about this or that?
Johnny forgot to close the gate and
the cows got into the patch Of young
cane and two Of them died. Mary for
got to put old topknot and her chicks
in the tight coop and the rats got
three of her little chickens last night.
And so it goes. One thoughtless act
brings on another and causes trouble
and EXPENSE for mother and father.
Let's pzster cur forgetters. Let US

The only serious obstacle to Japa-

Great Britain Ito recognize the indie

sions of the demands. and most COM
ment has been based on a draft is

tc he inaccurate.
Japanese diplomacy is astute, and
even If the Chinese version OF the

China and do not slam the Open Door

The French papers have been busy
of late with the case of the "em-

the man who choose a safe job IN

on the fringe Of Soho suggests that
t is also applied to those who do
not choose the army at all. A couple
