POISONING A DOG.

(From the Ohio State Journal)
Up in Wisconsin some one poisoned
a dog. The owner heard the dog
scream in the night, and when he went
out in the morning he found the little
dog dead near the front steps. He was
much sOrrOW-stricken, for one can love
dog sometimes quite as much as
one can a human being, So while he
leaned over to bemOan his loss, he
seemed to hear the poor dog speak, and
this is what it said
This is a strange world after all.
I've tried my best. l have not inten-
tionally harmed a soul. | have been
jolly and helped amuse the children
by rOmping with them and we were
such good pals, and I most regret that
their little hearts will break when
they awake in the morning and find me
gone.
But my life has not been lived in
vain, for in my dying l reveal to my
master that there lives in this neigh
borhood a person so low down and
vile in character that he would pois-
on dog.
If the poor dog did speak, it is pref
ty certain he said as much as this
Especially what it said about the pois-
oner every heart would subscribe to.
1t is an awful mean thing to poison
a dog or cat. One can imagine the soul
of the animal would follow the pois-
oner off into the next world.

A CATECHISM.

Manchester Press: What is print
paper?
Print paper is something on which
newspapers are printed when they can
get it.
Is it hard to get print paper?
1t is not hard to get enough for a
week or two in advance, if you have
the money.
Does it take money to buy print pa
per?
It does, and then some
How much money does it take?
All that the editor can make, added
to his home, family COW, graphophone
and underwear.
Is the Press printed on print paper
At the present writing it is, but it
will soon reduced to the editors old
shirts and "nighties''
What is the Press paying for print
paper?
When it pays for anything, which
is very seldom, it pays all that the
traffic will bear and if the traffic gets
any heavier may the Lord have mercy
on our souls.
What is the latitude and longitude
of the present traffic?
We have not heard from the paper
house for a day or two, but at pres
ent print paper, such as the Press is
that the articles do not exceed 800
using, sets us back 81 cents a pound.
We have been buying it heretofore for
3 cents a pound. That is why the edit
or is about to leave town and swallow
the contents Of a drug store.
Under these narrowing Circumstance
es, should We subscriber get sore and
froth at the mouth if his paper is
stopped when the time is out?
He should not. Rather, he should
fall on both kneecaps and offer up
thanks because taxes are not increas-
ed owing to the great influx Of edit
ors to the poor house.

AMERICAN HUMOR.

In Harper's William Dean Howells
observes that it would be difficult to
find an American mirth-provoking
book of half century ago which re-
tains it's potency for laughter This
remark falls into line with the state
ment of the Spokesmen-Review sew
erai months ago that humor, racial
or national humor at least, is a
changing quality. 1t is like the effer-
vescence of soda water or cham
payne. When bottled too long it is
likely to evaporate and leave the stuff
"flat."
"Innocents Abroad" for example,
was so excrutiatingly humorous that
it wrested tears of laughter from
the reader. Mark Twain's query to
the italian cicerone: SIS Columbus
dead?" threw us into commissions Of
merriment But this and the fearful
lament over Adams grave leave young
America cold and unmoved today. It
considers the humor exaggerated,
forced and stiff, and renders the same
verdict, more disdainfully than pity
ingly, upon 'Helen's Babies" Bret
Harte and Artemus Ward
Much if not most of American hum
or in the Cos and 70s was farce or
burlesque. The laugh was the thing,
and the style of the slapstick clown
fetched the laugh. To-day, however,
American humor has become more
genuine and genial. 1t is sunshine
pervading the book, rather than a
bolt Of lightning from the blue Of the
intellect or Of wit. The resultant mer-
riment is more a quiet and continu-
Gus chuckle, a glow through all the
arteries of the spirit than an electric
shock that tingles all along our nerves
and then is gone.
The new humor is natural, and bub-
bles spontaneously from the normal
experiences of life. It seiZes one with
resistless longing for laughter. It's
honest, fashioning of human exist
ence into literature runs the humor-
Gus gamut from chuckle or smile to
ineXtinguishable laughter or actual
orgies of merriment. It's modern evo-
luton suggests that, though the fash
lens of humOr change with the gen
eratiOns, humor itself abides forever
So long as man experiences the incOn-
gruities of life, humor will remain an
ever sweet and flowing fountain

THE UNBEATABLE GAME.
NV Herbert Kaufmanl

(By Herbert kaufman.)
He was as sharp as a fish hook
and as twisted.
At his final examinations he was
temporarily stumped by paper on
English literature. He could answer
only one question and but a portion
of that; then his peculiar genius pro
vided a bit of strategy to meet the sit
uation.
He opened his composition book,
began in the middle Of a sentence and
brilliantly answered the one fragment
of the lone question with which he
was acquainted. After which he mark
ed Book Two" on the cover, signed
his name below, tossed it on the pro-
fessor's crowded desk and sauntered
from the room.
That afternoon he leisurely copied
from his text books the correct an
swers to the rest of the paper, slipped
the pamphlet in the janitor's rubbish
heap, where at his suggestion and to
his vindication it was recovered.
Yes, he got his degree. But that
isn't the point in this tale
Five years after graduation, the Bar
Association where he was practicing
law secured an Indictment against
MIR. Sharp" and he is just about half
through his penitentiary term.
Prison is teaching him few truths
that he missed at college, one of them
is, "The smarter the crook, the quick
er he fallS-the slick ones ALWAYS take
the fool chances"

perhaps, some absolutely respectable
person with a perfectly legitimate
proposition, calls at the Office and
asks for FREE publicity. The editor
YEARLY explains why he cannot grant
free publicity to legitimate PROPOSE
lions while he is turning down illegit-
innate schemes that will pay him hand
somely, but nine times out Of ten the

TOO "'UMBLE" By HALF.
Milwaukee Sentinel.)

Milwaukee Sentinel)
Vice President Marshall frankly
contemplates the possibility Of the
death of President Wilson while in
office. Mr.. Marshall has quite made
up his mind what to do in that even
tuality, and he confessed to very
poor opinion of his own fitness to sue
coed to the presidency.
Rather than become president dur
ing the war in Europe, Mr.. Marshall
says, 81 would resign my Office"
Then Mr.. Marshall had no business
to accept the nomination for an Of
fee which was created largely to pro-
vide for the immediate and automatic
filing of vacancy which would be
dangerous for the country. The con
stitution is mandatory on that point,
declaring that the presidency "shall
devolve on the vice president" But
Mr. Marshall starts like a scared rab-
bit at the very thought Of such respon-
sibility and announces that he will
resign rather than to undertake it.
Mr.. Marshall should have taken
stock Of his mental furniture before
accepting the nomination. He is now
running for an office whose great con
tingent responsibility he publicly ad-
mits he is unfit for. Mr.. Marshall has
made a bad break The democratic
party is asking the country to elect
as vice president a man who has his
resignation in his pocket and openly
declares that he will quit the office
on the ground of incapacity the mo-
ment it ceases to permit him to be
nonentity.

SOCIAL INSURANCE.
madison Democrat.)
Another fad!
Social insurance!

Another fad!
Social insurance!
Why should state and employers
participate in insurance for working
people? If they must take upon them
selves this burden, why not require
them also to contribute to the ordin-
airy life insurance that these same
people may carry? Why not compel
workers to take out life insurance and
oblige the state itself to pay all the
premiums?
Evidently some busybody has found
abroad, possibly in New Zealand, and
economic absurdity and seeks to i'm
port it to this country. OF course, the
socialists will be for it and so will
improvident people generally. Polit-
ical demagogues, we may be sure, will
bring it to the front conspicuously and
other political demagogues will be
found to grant it their support.
Just think of it, Insurance against
sickness to which the beneficiary con
tributes but one-ffth Of the annual
premium, the state paying two-fifths
and the employers the other tWo-fifths!
Carrying this nonsense just a little
further, we shall have proposed the
doctrine that ample employment at big
wages must be found by the state or
by capital for all people at all
times!
How far indeed are we getting away
from the good wholesome days Of old
when the republic was young, when
unknown

It would surprise the reader to
know how much false and fraudulent
advertising comes to the office of the
average good country weekly. Nearly
every day the mail brings a PROPOSE
ton Of some kind, or a suave strang-

editor how much good money he is
throwing away. Fake doctors write
and want the paper to back them up
in their nefarious trade of imposing
upon the credulous and ignorant, and
cure-alls, of every description clamor
for space. The editor, if he is con-
scientious and respects his calling,
knows that in selling space to doubt
full customer, he becomes an agent.
and his self-respect and regard for the
pocketbooks and welfare of his sub
scribers, impells him to turn down
the offer. OF course, if he does this
