THE PESSIMIST.


There is a land of small delight
Where all we mortals dwell,
Where something posters day and
night
And holidays as well.
Misfortune's ice is spread afar,
Whereon each mortal slips;
And those who dodge the motor car
Appendicitis grips.
Where shines the sun man maketh nay
And sunstroke is his gain,
He saveth for rainy day;
And 10, it doesn't rain.
The demon corn gnaws at his feet,
Or pain his eye tooth rides,
Or something that he's had to eat
Disturbes his whole insides.
His wife deletes whate'er he's earned
And buyeth flats galore,
And, every time his back is turned,
They raise his taxes more.
Almost before he gets to bed
A new day doth commence,
Full oft he'd wish that he were dead
Except for the expense.
Such is the life we mortals live
A paltry, tiresome task,
All joys are given in sieve,
Cares in a stoppered flash;
II poor, a man is thought Ounce;
II rich, It's called q crime,

into these openings water and slush
are being poured directly on the sub

Already the fire has destroyed mil

cost enormous sums.

Good fortune knocks, it's said, but
once;
Hard luck knocks all the time.
Judge.
A MAN..

"A VI AN.
A man doesn't whine at his losses.
A man doesn't whimper and fret
Or rail at the weight of his crosses,
And ask life to rear him a pet.
A man doesn't grudgingly labor
Or look upon toll as blight;
A man doesn't sneer at his neighbor
Or sneak from cause that is right.
A man doesn't sulk when another
Succeeds where his efforts have
failed.
Doesn't keep all his praise for the
brother
Whose glory is publicly hailed;
And pass by the weak and the humble
As though they were not Of his clay.
A man doesn't ceaslessly grumble
When things are not going his way.
A man looks on woman as tender
And gentle and stands at her side
At all times to guard and defend her.
And never to scorn or deride.
A man looks on life as mission,
To serve, just so far as he can;
A man holds his noblest ambition
On earth to live as man.

LONDON BUILDING. ,. INTERFERED WITH
 LABOR SCARCITY
Government May Take Over Movie Houses For Use of
 Munition Workers.

London, July -SchooI-rooms or moving picture palaces may be taken over by the government as temporary living quarters for women and girls employed either in the nunition fac tories or in the ordinary business of London and other large cities It will be one way of solving one of the ques- tions forced into prominence by the war, namely the he using of thousands ofwo men workers. To this end wo- men of the upper and middle class whose age prevents them from enter ing munitionN factories Nor taking ser vice on the farm are urged to assist the government in improvising a com pre- hersive scheme.
 Scarcity of labor has stopped build ing and the small cottages in or near the big centers If population are in unusual demand. The sudden increase in the number of munition workers has involved great migrations of la Dor. M
 If there is scarcity, amounting al most to famine, of small houses, in good many eases, though in not all, large houses can ba obtained. The cost of living has led upper and mid d1e-class families to migrate from the large house to the snall one of a flat. Many large houses are empty but the women have yet b get together on a plan to occupy them economically or in keeping with fheAr incomes.

NO SUCH THING AS ! EDUCATED BRONCHO
 SAY OLD COWBOYS
Buck Simply Because They Resent Being Used for
 Riding Purposes

According to well-informed ranch men, there is no such thing as an "educated bucking horse" The wild broncho and the untamed outlaw" buck because they resent being rid den. The feel of a saddle has the same effect upon bucking broncho as red streamer has upon a wild bull in the bull-pens of Mexico. The at tempt to saddle and bridle him is re- scented. It isn't that the animal is afraid. Cowboys say that the real bucker hasn't sense enough to be afraid of anything or anybody. But the charm of absolute freedom-the lure of the wild prairie-remains with him. and to be compelled to carry a mister .is an Imposition" against which he will fight to the last ditch.
 z No. one, it is declared, has ever sue ,cessfully taught wild horse to back
 As matter of fact, it Is not necessary
 Buckihg is part of the animals stock in trade. He learns it instinctively. It is possible to break most horses of bucking, but to do sosit is usually necessary to break his spirit-and the cowboy does that when he thoroughly conquers the animal. The cowboy who wants to preserve the spirit of his horse never rides his animal to "a fin- 'ish Closely watch the broncho- bust CTS in the Buffalo Bill-101 Finch Show when IL exhibits in Bridgeport Tuesday, July Is and you will notice that most of the riders slip from their horses at the lower end of the arena and permit the animals to run into the corral free. That is done, it is said, to deceive the horse and make him sthink that he has thrown the rider. Horses are intensely chesty- and human! When they feel that. they have conquered they will buck harder than ever the next time attempts are made to ride them. 4
 V The exhibition of bucking horses and outlaw ponies with the Buff falo Bill-1O1t Ranch Wild West show Is doubly interesting from the fact that the animals are all se1ected from the wild horses running free on the ranges of the l01 Ranch at Bliss, Okla, and whenever they show evi- dences of becoming tame they are shipped back to the ranch and turned loose on the range and another batch of wild horses substituted. In this way the strenuous part of the per- formance is maintained. In addition to the buckers there are many hand
 some high-bred horses with the show, and they are utilized in the prelimin- ary free street parade as we'll as in the performance which offers the new military spectacle "Prepared- : ness," and many other sensational displays Buffalo Bill will, it is an- nounced, actively participatei n the exhibition.

Increasing Number of Libanese and Syrians

 Zurich, Switzerland, July 10.-Pri- vate letters received here from Jeru- salem state that the number of Liban- ese and Syrians sentenced .o death by the Turkish. authorities is constantly increasing.
 In consequence of the rapid spread of spotted typhus, whooping cough and smallpox, the Turkish govern ment has closed all schools in Jerusa- lem. Newspapers are appearing with black bordered sheets and are filled with death notices.
 | Despite the censorship the journals publish long articles sharply criticiz- ing the Turkish government for it's neglect to enforce the most elemen- tary sanitary measures. Wounded and p1ague-stricken soldiers are brought from the battlefiel1s on the canal and transported in the most primitive manner through inhabited districts.
