POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago News.
Stolen sweets may be hard to di-
gest.
The cloak of charity is inefficient
unless elastic.
A horrible example is often better
than none at all.
If you would keep your peace of
mind do not give advice.
It's easier to get a bad reputation
than to keep good one.
Virtue may be its own reward, but
vice gets more free advertising.
A woman always disproves of new
style that is not becoming to her.
Sometimes a mans friends work
overtime in attempting to work him.
Many a leap year girl loses her head
in trying to win a young mans heart
You can please the other fellow best
by lending a hand instead of giving ad-
vice.
In small boys ideal heaven he can
always have a second piece of pie.
The average woman worries more
about her complexion than she does
about her prospective harp and crown.
It's you for the other side of the
street when you see a man approach
ing who never fails to inform you that
the world is daily growing worse.

MY DOG AND I.

My dog and /. the hills we know
Where the first faint wild roses blow;
We know the shadowy paths and cool
That wind across the woodland dim,
And where the water beetles swim
Upon the surface of the pool.
My dog and 1. our feet brush through,
Full oft, the fragrant morning dew,
Or. when the summer sun is high.
We lnger where the river flows
Chattering and chuckling as 1t goes
Two happy tramps, my dog and /.
Or, when the winter SHOWS lie deep.
Into some fire-lit nook creep
And while the north wind bowls outside,
See castles in the dancing blaze,
Or. DOING. dream of summer days,
And woodland stretches, wild and wide.
NY dog and 1 are friends till death
And when the chill. dark angels breath
Shall call him from me, still know,
Somewhere. within the shadowy land
Waiting his master he will stand
Until my summons comes to go.

Those who would overthrow the AS
auth ministry say that their purpose
is to substitute craftsmanship for poll
tics in the conduct of the British gov
eminent during the remainder of the
war and during the days of the peace
parleys to come. This is a laudable
ambition. a patriotic one, for much OF
England's costly laundering in the
war has been due to the Vaccinations
of her politicians. But the probable
ties are that if Asquith and his con-
freres are overthrown it will be moth
ing more than the work of their po-
liticaI enemies and that the reins OF
the British government will merely
be transferred to another coterie OF
politicians.

WHY Be Rude?
BY RUTH CAMERON.


Once upon a time 1 was taken for
canvasser. I had a bag which looked
as IL it contained books, and I called
at a strangers house to leave book
and a message for mutual friend.
The maid came to the door and 1
asked for her employer. While 1 was
asking the woman herself came to the
head of the stairs Tell her L don't
want anything" she called down.
But she says she has a book
to- began the maid.
st don't want any books" persisted
the madame, in a high-pitched. dis
a agreeable voice. What made you let
her in? I've told you not to let any
of those book agents inside the door.
They're too persistent"
The matter was ultimately adjusted,
and of course 7 received profuse apol-
ogies, but 1 knew that was the way
l would have been treated if I had
actually been a canvasser, and since
then they have had my deepest SYM
pathy-
A woman came to my door the other
day with a book to sell. She looked
very. very tired and asked her if she
didn't want to come in and rest for a
few minutes, though 1 could not pos
Lsibly buy the book. She accepted and
sank into chair with a sigh of relief.
This is the first time I've gotten
into a house today she said. I've
been walking since half past eight this
morning (it was then about two
o'clock), and got so tired finally that
/ sat down on some steps"
Further conversation revealed that
she hadn't sold a book SO far that
week.
IF people can't buy. of course I
don't blame them" she said; but /
don't see why they need be so sharp
and disagreeab1e.'

came to our town as peddler, I am
afraid He would think the world had

The other day l read little item
in the newspaper that affected me
profoundly because of what (perhaps
without cause) I read into it. A wo-
man of sixty had been killed at a
crossing by a train. The bystanders
careless. The item went on to say
that she had just started wasting
1t was her second day out. OF course
you can easily guess how 1 translated
! that.
People who are harsh to peddlers
always give as an excuse that they
might be doing some honest work
| (why isn't individual selling as honest
as collective selling p. 1 asked the
woman with the book why she didn't
get into something else, ana she said
she didn't know where to turn and she
| couldn't afford to lose time looking
She would make an excellent matroI

the work, but doesn't know how tc
get it.
OF course one can not always buy
of peddlers. but one does not need te

And 1 begged you to help with

Then perhaps you may even miss
me. Ah," as she tried to speak, "a
man, even a man like myself cannot
stand it always to gaze at the star he
may not reach. I shall sail this sum-

Not this summer, Santangelo, or

Every town has too many loafing
places.
You may have observed that a good
workman isn't very often out of work
1t isn't so bad to make mistakes,
but don't keep making the same mis-
take.
A really tactful woman is one who
can boss her husband and make him
like 1t.
Most people know more about
grammar than their conversation
would indicate
1t is very we'll to boost your business,
but not to the extent of 'mooching'
advertising.
Remember, also, that the govern
ment doesn't waste as much of your
money as you do.
Some people are like dandelions:
give them a little start and they be-
come a pest and menace.
Sometimes a man gives his friend
the best of it, and said friend gets sore
because that best wasn't better.
Anybody could easily become q
millionaire by inventing something

hill but 1t won't put chunk under
the wheel when you commence rolling
back.
The general rule in making demands
is to demand enough so that one can
make some concessions, and still win.
1t is mighty fine for the people of
a town to long for new institutions,
but it Is also mighty well to help the
| institutions already established.

Those old fashioned baseball days
that haven't anything to commend
them have evidently returned to the
Western Leagues arena. The fans at
Wichita mobbed an umpire on Sunday
in what was once a most approved
fashion. There is no necessity, OF
course, to repeat the reason for this
vicious outbreak. And it is to be sin

won't be guilty of any such tactics this
season, even though an umpire's de-

About the sleepy hour of four;

And sends cold shiver up our back
A good aim has our iceman.
