Youth and AGE and Whiskers.

AS whiskers are the oldest living
things, so they are the youngest.
Youth and age are accentuated by
whiskers. AS the wind blown upon
hot soup 1.-TWO objects associating
themselves naturally with whiskers)-
as the wind blown upon hot soup cools
the soup, and as the wind blown upon
cold fingers warns the fingers, so is
a dual role played upon young and
old by the facial appurtenance. Moth

old man wearing a patriarchal beard.
And nothing in this world looks as
young as a young man fondly tmagin-

Substitute for Poker Chips.

The use of small, round oyster
crackers is advisable as a substitute
for poker chips, as they are easily de-
voured and the crime hidden, should
the police raid the place. Cards alone
are no indication that poker domi-
mates therein. 1t requires chips to
furnish that evidence. If banker is
on to his job, he will spread lightly
coating of tempting cheese upon the
crackers as he issues them. This
practice will, in great measure, re-
heve him of the responsibility of cash
ing many at the conclusion of the

COMMUNICATED

Editor Signal:
Far be it from me to entertain
the remotest desire to curb the
youthful ebullitions Of our Benson
representatives Of young America
when combined within proper linn
its, but when, as has happened on
numerous occasions recently, these
limits have been greatly exceeded,
their behavior is to be dep1ored, to
say the least about it. For lady
or gentleman to be bombarded on
the streets or On their own prem
ises with stones, large or small as
hsppens to be most conveniently at
hand, to be assailed by disrespectful
aud sometimes indecent language
or to have stones thrown against
their houses, is not an unusual oc.
currence. These children in knee
pants who give offence in this way
are not inherently bad perhaps,
neither can It be assumed that they
have not had proper home training
and parental admonition. The
saying IAN idle brain is the devils
workshop" would seem to indicate
the cause Of these juvenile dere-
lotions and at the same time sug-
gest remedy, that is, by divert
ing their surplus energy into some
useful channel. What this should
be can only be answered by those
in each case having the RESPONSE
bility of these young peoples well
fare in their hands.
Yours truly,
THOMAS Verify.

Of inquiry sent from here to the
