Peonle Will TALL

You may get through the world, but twill be very
slow,
If you listen to an that is said as you 60;
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in a stew.
For meddlesome tongues will have something
to do
For people will talk
Be quiet and modest, you'll have Il presumed
That your humble position Is only assumed.
You're wolf in Sleeps clothing, or else you're
fool,
But don't get excited; keep perfectly cool
For people will talk
II generous and noble they'll vent out their spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish and
mean;
II upright and honest, and fair as the day.
They'll call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking way,
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness of heart.
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They will call you upstart, eonceited and vain:
But keep straight ahead; don't stop to explain.
For people will talk
II threadbare your Dress or oldfashioned vour Ia,
Some one will sure take notice of that
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your
way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape
For they criticise then in a different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor unpaid:
But mind your own business; there's naught to be
made,
For people will talk.
Naxu khak kasN H. l.
For your mind If you have one, will then be at
ease,
OF course, you will meet with all sorts of abuse,
But don't think to stop them; it amt any use,
For people will talk.

1t is an encouraging sign when the hotel keep
ers of France organize to for the million or
more American tourists expected in 1917 and the
foreign steamship lines plan to put FIVE ships
in copmission for transatlantic passenger serv-
ice. Activity in this direction shows that Europe
sees end to the terrible conflict which has been
waging for over two years and is planning for
commercial preparedness. The end may be pro-
longed indefinitely but the fact that both France
and Germany figure in these preparations show
that the people of both countries look for settle
ment in the near future.

Having disposed of the real sport,
consider the Welsh-White fight at

Of which agree, neither man acted
like champion and the logical thing
was to declare the title vacant and
award it to Bat Nelson, Willie
Ritchie or Joe Cans. Joe is dead, but
both of the present-day battlers were
somewhat defunct.
The concensus is that the battle
might have been a draw with fair
ness to both sides. Some of the
rlngslderS declare the decision was
bald-faced robbery and that White
won BY a mile. But most of those
opinions come from local men,
whose ideas naturally have a strong
White tinge because Charlie is a To-
cal man.
Neither fighter was marked during
the 20 rounds. White landed a few
damaging blows, but the champion
did not put over one shaker. Welsh
hogged all the cleVeTness, played for
points and Clearly outgeneraIed
White for every minute of the fight.
He kept the sun in Charles eyes and
went around him with ease.
White could have won without
much trouble if he had sailed into the

 He was luckier than a man in a neighboring town who owned a valu- 1 able vase, family heirloom. His dog poked his head into the neck of the vase and it stuck.

vocal cords. there is not the slightest doubt, 1t is worth repeating, that the public might have done something about Vedder court! AS things were, 1t grew most satisfactorily indignant. It talked of nothing else, in the sub- ways and on the LIS" and on the sur face lines, and on the cindery com muter trains; and on the third day of the agitation, before something else should happen to shake the populace to the very foundation of its being, the city authorities condemned the Ved- der court property as unsanitary. fn- human and unsafe, as a menace to the public morals, health and life, and as blot upon civilization; this last be. ing a fancy touch added by Tim Cor man himself, who, in his old age, had a tendency to link poetry to his prac- ttcability In consequence of this de cision, the city authorities ordered Vedder court to be forthwith torn down, demolished and removed from the face of the earth; thereby justify ing, after all, the existence of the free and entirely uncurbed metropolitan pressl The exact psychological mo- ment had been chosen. The public, caught at the very height of it's frenzy, applauded, and ate it's dinner in virtu- ous satisfaction; and Gail Sargent's distress crystallized into much cas- fer thing to handle; just plain anger!
 And so Market Square church had persisted in clutching it's greedy hold on a commercial advantage so vile that even notoriously corrupt city government had ordered it destroyed! Her mind was immensely relieved about Rev. Smith Boyd. She had chosen well and wisely!

 It is built on a 1915 model and no fashionable youth of the town can put anything over" on him in the matter of style It Is neat, but not gaudy, a tin body with a copper band, not quite as brilliant as ribbon with college colors, but more substantial and quite as attractive. At least, it attracts plenty of attention when Whiting weais it on the streets.

Allison takes Gail riding in his motor car She finds cold disapproval in the eyes of Rev. Smith Boyd.
