"What do you think about Jonah
and the whale?" William, 1 do not
think about it. Too much useful time
has been wasted upon this and SINH
lar subjects. We should De surprised
if we knew how much. If 1 knew it
was true I could not make my boy be-
lteve it; and if you knew it was false
you couldn't make your wife believe it.
There are lots of subjects it doesn't
pay to fool with any more than with a
buzz saw. l prefer to think of how
the new map of Europe is going to
look, and what the Kaiser will do with
| the fifty billions of indemnity he will
| make the entente nations pay; or how
we shall feel in 1920 when he snaps his
! finger at us. There are too many live
| incidents of the present for US to let
| dead issues absorb our attention. What
| we should think about is the things
| which are likely to have an effect upon
this and coming generations.

What is Germanv fiqhtina {

What is Germany fighting for?
When the war was in prospect we
have the Kaisers word and the Crown
Princes averment that she must win
her place in the sun. This declara-
wrapped up in figurative speech is
puzzling a great many people, and
most of the explanations of the phrase
lack lucidity. In every phase of in
tellectua1ity Germany was looming far
above the earth and her Industrial
greatness was recognized the world
over without war, so 1t is not easy to
| see just what is meant by Germany
place in the sun War has made that
nation a hot place, but hardly a place
| in the sun since three per cent of the
suns heat is all the earth ever gets
and five per cent would make the earth
| uninhabitable. = place in the sun is
| too hot for Germany, or any other
| country. In war Germany has horri-
fed the world, but there is nothing
| sunny about this military strife. Met
aphoricaIly or realistically speaking
there is nothing sunny about any hor.

Since men differ so in opinion it is
pity more of them do not learn how
to agree to disagree. There is no rea-
son why the other mans opinion
should anger US. He may not be po-
lite in his manner of delivering it to
US, and the spirit of him may give us
| to understand that his opinion weighs
more than ten thousand opinions of
| ours. If you keep cool you will find
his judgement is poor, that is all. His
estimate of himself and everything he
possesses is simply inflated. If he had
a dozen apples that cost ten cents he
would aver they were moro valuable
then your oranges that cost 20 cents
| a dozen. Do you realize that our opin-
| ions put us in the vaudeville class be-
| fore we know it. What are our opin-
IONS? They appear like subliminated
ideas that have been put into ouI

How often we ask ourselves what
life is. How often We hear no answer,
and how variable the answers we get.
Every mans life is a plan of God.'
said Horace Bushnell; life is a little
CLEAN between two eternities" wrote
Carlyle; life is a quarry from which
we hold and chisel character" averred
Goethe; Life is the childhood of i'm
mortality Life lily spent is an in
fanny" Life, like war, is a series of
mistakes" and life is a mystery" 9TH
ers have said. Life is not what YOU
have, but what you are is more mod
ern, and best fits my understanding.
In other words life comes pretty near
being what we make it, for our world
is narrow or broad, billowy or calm
uncertain or assuring, haunted by fear
or lighted by hope in keeping with our
state of mind. Our conception OF
things makes us full of doubt or blaz-
ing with faith. We can live in the
| darkness or in the light as we may
choose. If our love is in harmony
with divine love there is no discord in
the music of our souls.

There is a saying that you must not
let good dollars follow bad ones. This
is presumably a speculative hint. The
bad dollar is the aristocratic relative
of the poor penny which never re-
turns. The dollars that come back in
creased ten or an hundred fold are
good dollars regardless of the bad
character of the scheme by which they
were multiplied Good or bad as APP
piled to money is correctly represented
by sound coin, and counterfeit or de-
preciated coin. A rOgue's money is as
good as a saints if it is of right
weight and true ring. y dollar to The
good is the dollar that can't get away
from you, and dollar to the bad is one
for which you received no adequate re-
turn. Dollars cannot defile a person
to whom they come honestly earned
or honestly solicited. A guilty
knowledge and sharing ill-gotten gains
is wickedness. The honest dollar it.
self leaves no stain upon honest hands
or any praisewOrthy use.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

How surprised the man who is de-
ceiving his wife is when he finds she
is deceiving him. He recognizes at
once that her conduct is perfidious but
doesn't seem to comprehend that his
is, also. Deception is a two-handed
game and the counter-play holds the
same relation to it as light does to
darkness. Trust cannot exist in the
atmosphere of distrust. The husband
or wife who think it is none of their
partners business what they are do
ing have a poor conception of conjugal
life. The double dealer always gets
found out not because some one
squeals upon him, but because actions
speak louder than words. No one can
for long do things crooked and appear
to be going straight. Every crook
knows this. 1t is only the fools who
fail to comprehend it. And how dc
| deceivers feel? Guilty most of the
| time, and their occupation consists
partly in inventing lies to keep theil
| true character from disclosure.

SPRING ATTRACTIONS
 -, AT THE EMPRESS

The Empress Alaskan circuit has contracted for run of pictures to be hown in their theatres, the best that money can get, in fact the finest pho .oplays that are produced, such as: A Fool There Was (The Vampire) Theda Bara and Edw. Jose. The Gilden Fool-Wm. Farnum Walls of Jericho-Edmund Breese. Kreutzer Sonata-Theda Bara and Nance O'Neill.
 Cinderella-Mary Pickford. The Celebrated Scandal--Betty Nansen.
 St. Elmo, Wormwood, Sampson, Lady Audley's Secret, Carmen, The Clemenceau Case, The Thief, Prin- cess Romanoff, The Nigger, Life's Shop Window, Eetc. The first attraction will be "A Fool There Was" adapted from Rud- yard Kipling's famous poem, '"The Vampire"
 This sensational play, one of the most successful of the century, and for many years the starring vehicle of Robert Hilliard, has been convert ed into a supremely vivid and start ling photo-play by the William Fox forces.
 Edward Jose, former leading man with Sarah Bernhardt, portrays in a masterly manner the Fool" who forsakes family and friends for 8 soulless creature in the guise of a beautiful woman. Theda Bara, leading woman at the Theatre Antoine, Paris, has been cast
 as the Vampire" one of the most fascinating, though revolting female characters ever created. Miss Bara's interpretation is, re- markable for it's dramatic realism, and she is supported by Mabel Fren- year, Victor Bonoit, May Allison, Cliff
 ford Bruce, and little Runa Hodges, the clever child actress, forming a company seldom gathered for a sin gle pr,duc+ior ss ,.:'1" 4. ;

NEVER STRAIN GASOLINE
 THROUGH A CHAAiOIs

Garage men beware! Autoists, at tention: Boatmen, be careful. When ever you filter gasoline through cha mois you are playing hide and seek with one of the deadliest combina- tions known to man--electricity and gasoline.
 If your tank is under the seat, be careful when you fill it. If you are not, you are as foolish as the man who looks for a gasoline leak with a lighted candle. Never strain gasoline through a chamois. Now we'll tell you why it is dangerous. ': Gasoline and cnamo1s do not get along. They are not "neutrals." Let us assume that you are about to! fill your tank. The funnel is the nozzle. A chamois strainer is in the funnel. The gasoline is turned on and as 1t pours through the chamois | it generates static electirity. Static electricity may be defined as electric ity that is at rest. It is an agent neither of construction nor destruc- tion so long as nothing is done to unleash it. Unleash it, by brushing clumsy finger against natural law, and you have to deal with the most diabolical physical agent known "a force that destroys with the quickness of lightning.
 We have seen that gasoline, vol atile substance, passing thru chamois forms static electricity which charges the funnel. When the amount of electricity isrsufficient to produce a jump sparH, that spark, following the inevitable law of electricity at traction jumps to the nearest ground
 which is your tank. In doing so it must pass across the opening between
 the end of your funnel and the edge
 of the tank through which gasoline vapor is rising. Suddenly there is a
 violent discharge, like that of light
 ming, which is, after all, a gigantic
 jump spark. All those in close re
 lation are. as it were, struck by light ming.
 | Many have been burned and scar red for life through ignorance of this
 iend of electricity. Many more, it Is sad to relate, have been measured out on their last cool bed. No one was able to tell just why they died. The moral to be derived from this article is: do not put gasoline thru chamois skin. But if you still insist on taking chances, be sure that you have ground on it, by seeing that the funnel touches the opening of the tank. Be doubly sure that you take this precaution. Fire department statistics of many cities show that an overwhelming per cent of auto fires are caused by using chamois with gasoline-a fatal com bination.
 It might not be out of place in this article to state that thousands of peo- pie do not know that the vapor aris- ing from gasoline when mixed with the proper proportion of air, is one of the most dangerous and powerful explosives known.-Tmken Magi- zine

When Napoleon Was Wounded.

Napoleon, like almost all great mili' tary leaders. was wounded in course of his military career. though once only. This was before Ratisbon, on April 23, 1909. He was struck by grape shot ball, and received flesh wound. which disconcerted him so little that ne mounted his horse, wiping away the blood with handkerchief. The ball was picked up by an officer, who treasured it so highly that it passed as an heirloom to his children and grandchildren. It now rests in the Musee at Paris.
