videI With in Case Of War.
What does an arm of a million
mean? One million men marching
four abreast would extend over line
400 miles long, practically from Kan
sas City to the Colorado border. Some
of the things that these million men
must be provided with before they
can fight are:
100000 rifles and bayonets for
them to fight with.
265,000 pistols, little brothers of
the rifles.
5000 machine guns, the military
scythe.
2,100 field guns to batter down at
tack.
165,O0O,0O0 cartridges to carry
them into their first battle. and as
many more for each succeeding fight
2,500,000 shells and shrapnel for
our field guns for every hour they are
in action.
10000 horses to carry them and
pull their gun carriages.
$4,000 mules to haul their supplies
and pack their guns.
5000 wagons to transport their
supplies and ammunition.
100000 cartridge belts for their
ammunition.
100000 first-aid packets to bind
up their wounds.

Any Chump Can Knock

And now, once more, just bear in mind
any chump can knock.
Don't criticise your neighbor's faults, no
matter what they do;
Don't ridicule the masses, or malign the
chosen few;
Don't think yourself censor of the silly
human flock
And just remember rs you go that any
chump can knock.
Don't laugh at those who make mis-
takes or stumble by the way,
For you are to follow them-and, almost
any day.
Don't think the others shifting sand while
you are solid rock
And don't forget, for heavens sake, that
any chump can knock.
Don't be puller-down of fame on other
men conferred;
Don't give parting kick to one who fell
because he erred.
Don't think that you are perfect and the
only size in stock.
And now, once more, just bear in mind
that any chump can knock.

A Pittsburg girl laughed so hard over
this joke that she dislocated her jaw
bone:
A section foreman on the Baltimore &
Ohio noticed that one of his men always
had rabbit meat in his pail. He ques-
toned the man.
"Yes, me get lots rabbit" was the
smiling reply.
John" the foreman said, you bring
me rabbit tomorrow"
John promised he would, and the next
day the foreman received his portion
and ate it with relish. He also became
curious as to where he got II.
Say, john" he inquired, where do
you get all this rabbiti''
"oh, that's easy" was the reply.

UNDER RESTRAINT

Mike Murphy, contractor, became
rich and tony, and got handsome auto
mobile. Mrs. Murphy invited Mrs.
Clancy for a ride in It.
Whatever you do, Mrs. Clancy, don't
talk to the shoffer at all, not word or
whisper to him, for it takes his mind off
what he is doing"
So they started out at rapid clip.
The chauffeur went zip round the corner
and whizz round another corner; some.
times the car would be on two wheels.
Finally Mrs. Clancy touched the chauf-
fcur on the back and said:
"Mr. Shoffcr, I beg your pardon, !

BIRTH STONES FOR
EACH MONTH

January-Wild rose. By her who in this
month is born,
No gem save garnet should be worm
II will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.
The February born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Free from passion and from care,
If they the amethyst will wear.
Who in this world of ours their eyee
In March first open shall be wise,
In days of peril firm and brave,
And wear bloodstone to their grave.
She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears
From vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem OF innocence is known.
Who first beholds the light of day
In springs sweet flowery month Of May,
And wears an emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife.
Who comes with summer to this earth,
And owes to June her day of birth,
With ring of agate on her hand,
Can wealth, health and long life COM
mand.
The glowing ruby should adorn
Those who in warm July are born;
Then they will be exempt and free
From loves doubts and anxiety.
Wear a moonstone, or for thee
No conjugal felicity
The August born, without this stone,
'Tis said must live unloved, alone.
A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in September's breeze,
A sapphire on her brow should bind
Twill cure diseases OF the mind.
October's child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know;
But lay the opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
Who comes to this world below
With drear November's fog and snow,
Should prize the topaz's golden hue,
Emblem of friend and lover true.
If cold December gave you birth,
The month OF snow and ice and mirth,
Place on your hand a turquoise blue,
Success will crown whate'er you do.

Workmen On Boards

The promise of President Wilson to
give serious consideration to the plea OF
Samuel Gompers of the American Feder-
alton of Labor to put workingmen on
government boards on which other inter
ests are represented may be step
toward its accomplishment.
The workers of the country get little
consideration on commissions and boards
of various kinds by those who have the
power of appointment. Business men
who have wholesale and mercantile inter-
ests, professional men, large employers,
retail merchants and others except labor
ing men always get recognition.
The world is made up of about 80 per
cent of those who are not considered in
such appointments. Their views are
valuable. Their concepts might not meet
the ideas of the other members OF such
boards, but they will be sure to be such
opinions as may be expected from work
ing men. If workers were appointed
they might be able to give new insight to
many problems which now are managed
in sided way.
The clash of ideas between different
interests in any body of men clothed with
power is the first step toward curing and
ending disagreements. TheIe are but few
men not susceptible to the power OF
truthful argument. The world has been
trying for centuries to bring peace be-
tween widely separated factions thru
plan of each meeting by itself and
cementing it's opinions all the tighter to
its conclusions.
A healthful brush between men of
varying opinions would result in mutual
recognition of the rights of all con-
cerned. Boards and commissions made
up with labor men, not necessarily the
leaders, among the members would at
least carry out the main policy OF this
government-that it is and should be
esentative.-Kansas City Post.

Rev. II. A. Atkinson, social service COM

that the striking Colorado miners were
