MEXICO'S MONEY.

Mexico also has money to burn
these days, but it is the paper kind
that isn't worth the material on which
it is engraved. Officials of the de
facto government are destroying mil
lions and millions of this money by
fire. and are going to substitute an
other variety of paper money that is
said to be backed by gold and silver
bullion. But most folks will insist
on seeing the security for the new
money before they will accept it, I'M
less they are forced to do so at the
point of a gun. That's about the only
way any paper money has been ex-
changed for things during the past few
months.

force when too often repeated. 1t is
always unwise to make ones self
bore. Grandparents can render re-
igion odious by talking about it too
often and in the wrong spirit. Boys
cannot be religious in the same way
as old men, nor can little girls mani
fest their religion in the forms which
are most congenial to their grand
mothers. 1t is foolish to try to make
boy like a man or a girl like
woman. God will not permit it. The
Bible is an interesting book, and the
church is a divine institution, and the
truths of Christianity are of great i'm
portance, but they must not be made
a burden. Grandparents must not
play all their music on one string"

There are two things wise man
never does but once, points out the
Otis Reporter-twist a cats tail and
tread on his wife's corns.
The value of setting hen, accord
ing to the Americas Greeting, depends
largely on whether or not she can be
moved and still be MADE to set when in
the new location.
When you see a beautiful maid sail
ing along the street with head in the
air and seeing nothing and hearing
less, it's a safe bet, thinks the Colby
Free Press, she is wondering what
sort of a sensation she is creating.
Speaking of the varied moods of
Kansas, how's this? asks the Mime

The AthoI Record presumes that
under government ownership of rail-
ways, every congressman would feel
compelled to furnish transportation to
his constituents in about the same
manner he now furnishes garden seed
and public documents.
Says Keith Clevenger in his Osa-
watomie Graphic: The gauge that
most men are measured by today is
the mortgage. $500. It's curious
thing but "boose" treats those the
worst who serve it most. The truth
is something that most of use want to
hear just as seldom as possible.
When a fellow does have to take a
back seat he wants those in front to
remove their hats. go. The greatest
hits are not always made by those who
are always assuming striking attitudes.
The shrewd fellow with an axe

turn the stone.

Won TIRPITz NOT A MONSTER.

Among the reasonable reports from
Europe is one to the effect that Ad
miral Won Tirpitz has become a physi-
cal and mental wreck through brood
ing over the deaths that have been
brought about by the German subma-
rine policy, and the responsibility for
which has been laid at his door. 1t
is inconceivabl BILE that a man with the
normal instincts of a human being
could stand up under such a strain.
And because Won Tirpitz has broken
under it. the world will think of him
more kindly. He is evidently not the
cruel and cold-hearted monster that
he has been painted.

frozen so solidly that digging through
