WIFE MUSSED UP HIS SYSTEM
Shirts in Chronological Order
He Used Tags.

| know man who wears his shirts
in chronological order, says a writer in
Cleveland Plain Dealer. That is. IL
he buys a new shirt he tags It with
his initials, numbering 1t at the bottom
of the pile. And no matter how much
he likes it, he does not wear it until
1t comes out at the top of the pile.
He went into wordy detail about the
economy OF his system-and he added
that he arranged his socks in the same
manner.
| told him that he would meet the
woman of his dreams some fine day,
and that she would knock tho spots
out Of his system I told him that
she would admire a particular shirt,
caress its delicate stripes lovingly, aud
ask why he didn't wear it oftener.
And then he would send 1t to the
laundry as soon as it was soiled, and
wear it as soon as It got back; and he
would forget the system
Don't you believe it," he said The
person doesn't live who could upset
my SYSTEM"
But / met him few days ago-for
the first time in year He was hur-
rying to catch car, so had only time
to ask him how he was and how things
were going. And he didn't have time
to explain--he only shouted over his
shoulder, tubilantly; I'm wearing
EN- every which way"
And hadn't even heard ne was

WILSON SWALLOWED WHOLLY

Throughout Wisconsin, and presum-
ably most other states, Democratic
benefcisrics have met in gatherings
called conventions, state or county as
the case may be, shake hands, pat
each other on the shoulder, name some
one to call the bunch to order, and
someone else to play secretary. Next
in order is hurrah speech couched in
all the tlowery phrases at command,
then follows the introduction and read
ing Of set of resolutions compiled by
some direct or indirect feeder at the
federal trough, lauding President Will
son as the good Samaritan, swallow
ing him wholly, bate, hook and sinKer.
To this is added, of course, praise and
admiration for the Democratic u. S.
Senator and Congressman. The same
is endorsed with hand clippings and
shouts
"'Hurrah for Wilson He's the stuff
Let him alone; we're doing well
enough
The question is, to what extent win
the people be fooled

mot Guilty" Such is the verdict
in the expensive and world-famous
trial of win Orpet, charged with the
murder Of Marion Lambert in an lii
nois court. 1t is reasonably plain that
the jury could render no other verdict,
because positive proof was lacking,
and circumstantial evidence was not suf-
ciently strong. But every citizen Of
the country who followed the case
closely from beginning TO end is OF one
opinion that Orpet was the direct
cause Of the charming young girls
death; that he is trickster, a cheater
in the affairs Of honor and honesty.
For one SO young as he this is remark
able. 1t is also the general opinion

never to notice them. 1t was only
when his wife prepared to spend a
couple of days in the city that he let
his oppressed heart reveal itself.
II know where you're going, wife,
he said, "and you don't go. If you
leave my house you never come back"
For once the spirit of the woman
who had once been so gay fiared up.
I'm CO. she cried. But half an hour
later she went TO her husband. I'll
stay, for your sake, JIM" she said.
As the years passed the house grew
gloomier. Mile had been the only
child, and both had looked forward to
the day when a grandchild would come
to brighten it. Now that hope was
cut off forever.
Five years after Mile had left the
house Jim Rogers went to the metro

INCONSISTENCIES OF WILSON.

Yet it appears that President Wilson
is willing to forget" Carrizal and the
men who fought there against such
desperate and overwhelming odds. To
him it was only an incident" but the
sacrifice made by those who fell upon
the thirsty sands of that cruel desert
was as splendid as any ever recorded
in the pages of history. Balakalava is
no more precious heritage of devotion
to duty than Carrizal Yet President
Wilson, hurrying away to make a poll
teal speech in New York, has no word
of sympathy, of admiration or of graft.
tude. He merely classes the desert
drama of the glorious Tenth cavalry as
an incident with the now forgotten
Parra clash. " And the president is
sending thousands of boys and young
men to Mexico from whom he expects
an equal measure of devotion. Is his
attitude aspiring Does it breed con-
fidence or kindle the fires Of patriotism ?
When these noble boys die in agony of
war will their deeds be mere "inci-
dents" that are to be officially forgot

looking up from her sewing.
No sooner had he gone than she
put on her bonnet Whatever he might
say or do afterward she meant to
know whether Madame Chantella was
Mile or not With fearful steps she
made her way downtown toward the
theater. And somehow she found her
self seated in poor part of the house,
watching with establishment the feats
OF a troupe of Japanese jugglers.
Presently, looking about her, she saw
her husband seated not far away, his
eyes fixed on the stage.
Jim Rogers had yielded to what he
life None but he knew the longing
in his soul for his lost daughter. He
sat, staring eagerly at the jugglers.
This wasn't SO bad. This wasn't sin.
Ha! What would come next?
Next was a comedian with red
nose, who was tainted and leased by
a lady with an abbreviated skirt. AT
the sight of her Jim Rogers anger
rose. This was sin! This was a spec
tacle for folks eyes. His wife, too,
bridled with indignation. But when
she saw the look on her husbands
face she forgot her own feelings. Jim
Rogers was rising from his seat. He
meant TO denounce this performance,
to call upon the people TO arise
and a..
"Sit down, Sit down." they bawled
at him.
He collapsed with helpless sort OF
feeling, and then, while his mind was
still in uncertainty, Madame Chantella
came en- the stage, beautifully gowned,
holding a sheet of music in her hand.
Jim Rogers gasped. 1t was Mile!
Then she began to sing. 1t was
THE Folks at Home" AS the song
proceeded Jim felt his throat con-
stricted. and suddenly tear splashed
down on his wrist. It was his Mile,
and if this was sin, well, what was the
other thing?
When she retired, amid a thunder
of applause, Jim rose unsteadily and
made his way out. At the entrance he
found himself face to face with his
wife. Mrs. Rogers was no longer
afraid.
It's our girl" she whispered.

GERMAN PAPERS SCORE
ALLEGEDAT7|TUDE OF us.
Bad Impression Created by Reported
Stand in Reference to U-Boats
Off American Coast.

BERIIN November 20-The Berlin pa
pers print prominently summary Of the
Associated Press Washington dispatch of
November 10, which was greatly delayed
in reaching them. Where comments are
made it Is evident that the attitude of the
American government has created a bad
impression. The papers fail to see the
grounds at this moment for suddenly al
leging that the Lusitania question remains
unsettled
Both conservative and liberal organs
agree in condemning the attitude aScr1bed
10 the American government respecting
German submarine activities on the Amer
lean coast They point out that Germany
is fully complyn with the American de-
nand that submarine operations follow
the cruiser provisions of The Hague con-
vention, even refraining from firing tor
pedoes while under water. The papers
also reject the assumption that the cruise
of the U-53 had the character of a block
ade of American harbors and fail to see
justification for regarding it as Of
fensive.
The Post pronounces this characterize
ton as far fetched and rather clumsy"
Held to Be big Bluff
Count Won Reventlow regards the dis
patch as "a big bluff of threats and warn
ingS"
The Morgen Post says that if President
Wilson takes the stand indicated by the
dispatch ''he can never be a suitable medi-
ator for peace and that his Intervention
could only make the situation more dan
gerous and place new obstacles in the way
of peace
The Vosssche Zeitung also emphasizes
tine threatening tone of the American gov
eminent indicated in the dispatch and
points out that ii is given semi-ofhclal
nr,<r hot 1Rvf a
the same standpoint regarding submarine
activity as the most intense anti-German
newspapers in America.
The paper sees "a characteristic con-
trast in Washingtons language about
the unheardof and impudent encroach-
ments of England and her allies upon
important American interests which the
dispatch calls less dangerous"
Count Won Reventlow says: The neces-
sity of letting the struggle take its own
course is bitter. but no side wants a pre-
mature end. particularly when it is un-
certain how far it may trust man who
offers his services as mediator
