KINGS AND CORBlERS.

shining parlor. Constantine is work
ing hard and saving money. He has
made partnership with cobbler. Will
heim Schwartz, and the shop is full of
dllapidated shoes awaiting the magic
OF the machine which Constantine and
Wilhelm have lately installed. Both
speak broken English but both know
what change comes out of dollar. And
they are doing well.
Constantine the sinner is having a
better time than Constantine the king.
Wilhelm the cobbler has Wilhelm the
kaiser at a disadvantage Both are
happier and more useful than either of
their namesakes. The suggestion is
that Constantine the sinner and Will
helm the cobbler know their business
letter than Constantine the king and
William the kaiser know Ringing and
Of it.
Then there's Victor Emmanuel Cat
taione, who has the fruit store on
washington street. It's a good fruit
store and Vic. made it all from a ba-
mana stand on the street. He has grown
portly and prosperous and little
purseproud, perhaps. But he's a con-
tented man. He's got King Victor on
the hip. He isn't hearing cannon and
screams of torn human beings sent to
death by his order. Vic is hearing the
music of the cash register The fruit

Speaking of kings and wars and such
like, notice Jacob Robinowski. who
managed to slip away from Odessa aft
er the divine right of czars had killed
off community Of Jews and taken
whatever they had saved. Jacob would
be in the van of the Russian drive if
he hadn't happened to get away. or he
| might be rotting in heap Of festered
food for cannon or starving to death
somewhere in Russia" AS it is he
drives very good automobile and the
junk heap continues to grow. And
EaSs;l: and his daughter Drouschka in
| the four room cottage on the side street
are better fixed and happier than the
car. They have less care in their
hearts and no blood on their hands.
1t is better to be moujik emancipat-
ed in America than a car in Russia.
| Match Wilhelm the cobbler Wilhelm
the farmer. Constantine the sinner and

half section of Iowa land, match them

presidentes and grand dukes of the "old

Famous Tobacco with the

An 0LD.TlME FAv0RlTE

Chewing is the one best way
to use tobacco, because it's the
only way the choice leaf can get
next to your tongue and give you
all the benefit of the wholesome,
digestive juices stored up in it BY
nature.
But your chew should be in
plug form-the purest, most nat
ural form into which tobacco leaf
is made.
Among plug tobaccos, Spear
Head, for third of a century, has
held first place as the unique chew.
Its distinctive flavor is supreme
ly delicious ripe, relishy fla
vor not found in any other tobacco
made.
A luscious chew Of Spear Head
braces up lazy appetite and
makes you feel fresher and snap
pier.
Spear Head is the very best
chew that money can buy. Ask
your dealer for a Sc or Ioc cut.

WHEN the MEXICAN BILLS ARE REnpE RE D

Mexico's bill for damages to inter.
ests and citizens to be presented by
the countries thus damaged will
amount to about two billion dollars
The various powers have claims &C
that amount IL is stated at Washing
ron and will present them for collec-
1ion. Principal claimants are the
United States, Great Britain. Spain
and Holland
When the big war is ended the
claims against Mexico will be urged
with force behind them That is the
history of other countries outside the
United States They make their coll
iections They send their navies to
foreciose when the debt is denied or
payment refused. Venezuela is a case
in point

bic for the United States if the Mon

that II must suppress anarchy on this
hemisphere or get out of the way and
let those run who can and are willing
to run.
The Mexican trouble is not over. 1t
Is at its most serious beginning The
problem is about to be compl!CatSi.
J,.s
Is wise il will put the solution of that
problem in the hands Of Hughes and

one or the most serious that have been
forced on the United States of late
years.

THE HOT WAVE.
Snd Sealh6 wax- III cab6a6es. = Nn&

The hot wave is successful attempt
| on the part Of nature to reproduce the
pangs OF purgatory in this life.
Sometimes 1t seems as II we do not
half appreciate what nature is doing
for US day by day. When winter sets
in and nature favors us with ,old,
bracing atmosphere and FROST bitten
ear lobes. we sigh for summer, when
people can sit out on the lawn and
mingle with the embattled mosquito
and gasolene will mix better in the
carburetor. Then when summer really
comes and brings hot-air furnace
with it, we try to run away from it
by going to the lakes and living on
canned goods which can be tasted for
several weeks after arriving home.
Most people believe that the hot
wave is caused by the sun drawing
close to the earth and breathing in
its face with passionate emphasis.
This is a mistake, however. The sun
is not any closer than usual but It
works under higher pressure and is
able to get better aim When a hot
wave has attained speed Of about
thlrty-two knots an hour the sun can
fire lying down and hit the corn belt
four times out Of five. This is the
same sun which is never able to hit
anything north of Mason's and DiXon's
line all winter.
The hot wave can always be recog-
nized at once by consulting the ma
tional weather bureau chart a few
days after several prominent citizens
have been Frustrated by the heat 1t

When President Roosevelt appointed

people who doubted the wisdom Of the
selection. In the first place kenesaW
Mountain is a queer name and is more
queer when the owner of it becomes a
judge. In the second place it was re-
ported that he was a dude and wore
long hair. Then when Lands fined the
Standard Oil Company s20,000,000 the
people were sure that he was a crank
playing for advertising, but Judge Lam
dis went on with his work and he is
going on with it yet. He never al,
lows lawyer to rob his client if he
can help It. He prevents anybody from
taking advantage Of age and ignorance.
When some lawyer gets on the good
side of feeble minded client and gets
an assignment of property Lands gets
hold Of him and straightens the tangle
out. He is doing this every day. He -
fearless and we have not yet heard OF
an unworthy thing which he has done,
Sometimes he assumes duties which
are not imposed upon him. He always
does these things in the interest of the
poor We hope he may live to be
hundred years old or more. He got his
military name because his father was
a soldier. He is raising a son to dis
charge his duties as patriot and the
son is in training camp.

one is left somewhat in doubt as to

prove to be: but such as 1t Is, we nave
