SOMETHING NEW,

TINE man who writes, the long year
through, hears readers say, Write
something new The thoughts you
spring from day to day, are bearded
things, all worn and gray" But there
IS nothing new on earth; there is no
thought of modern birth; there is no
plot or song or tale that Noah didn't
say was stale, I've read James Bos-
wells book again; in it Sam Johnson,
best OF men, expressed his views on
every theme Of which the mortal mind
may dream. And like an oracle he
spoke, and | delight to watch his
smoke, but never did he make remark
that wasn't known in Noah's ark. But
his remarks, though sere and gray
were spoken in the Johnson way, and
though he's been long time dead. VIC
cherish still the things he said. Since
every thought on earth is old. and
baggy kneed and blue with mold, i,
profits not for me and y.u to strain
at saying something new. Wen take
old thoughts we find astray, and dol
them up as best we may

ROTTEN JUDGMENT.

THERE is class of newspapers in the United States
which seems happiest when they are publishing the
biggest piece OF destructive their editors can get
their hands
In sheets OF this description generally you will find
the clean constructive news played down to sentence
o omitted to make room for the piece OF tom cat
tragedy that the days digging into the shiny angle OF the
doings of the world develops
1t is not surprising that these newspapers should
take particular delight in getting some poor mollycoddle
into corner and worming story OF hardShips in the
militia camp out of him. That is not much OF an
oiiense as the playing Up OF yarn that might make
every mother OF a national guardsman believe that her
boy San Bcnto is living in sink hole with pestilencr
for a tent mate and garbage in the oommiSSary.
We know the boys can't get their breakfasts brought
to their rooms They have no tiled baths and finger
bowls.
So many sick sisters kicked about the routine OF caml
life that Secretary Baker sent the army heads into th
camps to see what treatment the boys receiving
You know and know that our fellows at San BENT
a thousand times better off than the poor devils wh'
are experiencing shot and hell in Europe
They are training men for bullets and bayonets dowl
on the Rio Grandc and any bunch of editors who think
that the people will stand for this yow about tn
lack of Wilton rugs in the company kitchens had bette
pinch themselves.
Their judgment is rotten

the truth once in while Most Of Us
are buster hitting our friends from
behind than we are hitting our enc
mics in front.
Isn't it remarkable what a beautiful
auburn hue a red headed girls hair can
take when she has money!
TIE reason why shoe clerk always
gets down pair OF Skies for Prln-
cess when the Princess says she wears
Threcs is because the girls feet are
swollen.
Women are better than men. But
we would hate To offer a woman the
choice between having clear con.
science or a muddy complexion
Some men sigh for solid comfort
But most of us crave the liquid kind
Another cheerful idiot is the lad who
stops you on the street to remind you
of the fact that you need shave.
Just because you have lot OF dough
and act crusty and imagine that yor
are the flower of the flock is no sigr
that you are well bred.
There was time when girl waiteC
for the right man to come along ant
then married him. But nowadays, judg
ing from the divorce court records, sh,
gets married and then waits for IN,
right man to come along.
