more than half sense. And that
other female that I have been
chasing-Death by name-aint

her hands are too cold, and she

respect to me! Just watch me
and see if I don't.
In this highly elevated mind
John Henry lifted his head and
started to walk home. On the
way he met Ethel in the road, but
he was looking so high he didn't
see her until he stumbled against
her and fell and broke his neck.
I just had to get rid Of that ras-
cal some way, and that was the
only way / could think Of. II Eth
ell don't like it, she's got a poor
way Of helping herself. The durn-
ed little fool ought to have taken

is Vanity sayeth the Prophet.

[ picked up a mail order cata-
logue and looked in the toilet de-
partment, just to see what-all
kinds Of truck it does take to
supply the demands of the fe-
male wimmen.
There were soaps, powders,
pufffs, perfumes, hair growers
and hair removers, hair curriers'
and hair straighteners, creams,
lotions and s%alves, grease, gag
ums and gol-dingets. And there
was also truck to make lean peo-
pie fat and then some truck to
make fat people lean.
And all that put me to think
ing. Some Of these things are
useful and necessary, no doubt,
but it was the hair business and
the fat business that took my
time.
Miss Primp has straight hair
and wants it curly, while Miss
Peggy has curly hair and wants
it straight. Always crazy for
something they amt got, and
just as soon as they get it they
want to swap it for something
else.
Miss Longshanks wants to be
fat and chubby, while Miss Bunty
would give a war-pension to be
tall, slim and graceful. And if
they could both be transformed
into what they want to be, they
would Immediately want to be
changed back. Which proves
that we are all a set Of blamed
idiots and don't know what we
want.

That Sleeps A-goin' to Bleat.

1 knowed a man n time, I did,
Who stole a sheep an KEEP it hid,
An thought he'd keep a-hidin' it
Till everybody would forgit.
An so it went on that-a-way,
AN he was safe from day to day,
TILL someone passin' by his gate
Heard somethin' nightly like a bleat.
They hunted then an found the sheep,
Which caused the man to o an
weep,
Bekaze he couldn't git no bail,
An had to toddle off to Jail.
Now there's a lesson you should take,
An thus avoid the same mistake:
Don't dabble. in no kind Of sin
You wouldn't like to be caught in.
You might Disguise it with a smile
An keep it hid a right smart while;
But, sure's you're Twin, soon or late
That doggon sleeps a-goin' to b1eat

NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.

It is either going to be peace
or pieces with Europe pretty soon.
There is an increasing amount of
peace talk on every hand, but that
witkn itself is not SO significant
as the increased frequency and
emphasis with which the various
powers are disclaiming responsible
lily for having started the war.
They are all looking for a way out
of a muddle that nobody is proud
Of.

HOME MADE POETRY
BY James Larkin Pearson.
Oh, Sleeping Muse!

Oh, sleeping Muse, awake, arise,
And open wide your dreamy eyes,
And sing a glad and joyful song
TO cheer me all the way along.
1t seems an age, o Muse divine,
Since you have sung a lifting line,
And all my being will rejoice
70 hear again your gentle voice. :
For willing Muses., great and small,
The dews of inspiration fall;
The hills, with silent beauty crowned,
Are calling to you all around.
So grant the wishes Of friend,
And make of silence now an end;
Since we have called and waited long,
Now answer gladly with a song.

A LOVE STORY.

Hike IL. DuL one more won { nurL
you. So dive in and read this
one.
Ethel had pretty brown eyes,
of course. All the Ethels and
Bernices and Mabels and Maudes
that you meet in love stories in
variably have pretty brown eyes.
Or they may be blue. Or even
black. It really don't matter "a
bout the color. John Henry
would fight Hindenberg's army
single-handed rather than have
-Ethel's eyes changed from just
what they are. And if John Hen
ry is satisfied the rest Of us have
no right to complain.
This particular John Henry
was satisfied with the color of
this particular Ethel's eyes, but
the cold stare they gave him when
he passed her On the street left
something to be desired, accord
ing to John Henry's way Of see
ing it.
Also Ethel's lips were models
of perfection. Even an impartial
judge would be bound to admit
that. But somehow those perfect
lips found it impossible to utter
certain words John Henry wanted
to hear. Only three words-and
they were short and easy ones,
too. You might try guessing
them. If you guess eight times
and miss it, then I'll tell you.
There! I knew you'd guess
them the first time.
But Ethel couldn't say those
words to John Henry, in spite Of
the fact that he had said them to
her so many times and tried his
best to teach her.
John Henry at last made up his
mind that life was no longer en-
durable unless Ethel's perfect lips
could be taught to say those three
little words to HIM.
So he bought a big chunk Of
life insurance, secretly naming
Ethel as the beneficiary, and then
courted death. Every danger
GUS place that there was any ex-
cuse for getting into-there you
would find John Henry. He came
to be known as a regular dare-de-
vii.
But he did have the cussidest
luck trying to get killed! Every
good. chance Of death that he
jumped at seemed to dodge him
and he went through without, 6
, scratch.
Death is like a woman. If yor
try to court her she will run from
you. But if you go on uncon
cerned, as if you didn't know sht
was in the world, she will chase
> you all over seven states till sh'
gets you.
And so it turned out that deatl
was just as impossible to get "a
Ethel was, and John Henry wa

SUFFRAGE THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

On the closing day of the last suf-
frage convention that the New York
State Woman Suffrage party expects
ever to have, the convention body is
sued the following Thanksgiving pro-
clamation for suffragists:
Whereas, In the year that has
elapsed the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war, out of that
war emancipation has come to the
women of Manitoba, Alberta, Sas-
katchewan, British Columbia, Yucca
tan and in some measure to the. wom-
en- of Holland.
Whereas, One year ago 553,24S
voters supported at the polls our de-
sire to enter into full citizenship;
Whereas, We are therefore assur-
ed that our desire for political eman-
ciPation has the support of a large
and increasingly large number of the
male citizens of the country; and,

Resolve, To announce a Thanks
giving of our own for the support of
the half million votes at the polls
November, 1915, and for that evolu-
ton in thought, in which we firmly
trust to make US citizen equals with
the men of our state in 1917"
This convention, the forty-eighth
annual gathering for the New York
suffragists, was the opening gun OF
the 1917 battle which will eliminate
in a referendum to the people in the
fall election next year, and was pro-
nounced success in every aspect.

THE SONG OF A GIRL BACK
HOME.

He sang song in the trench that
night
With the weary huddled around;
And their eyes were bright as the
stars of France.
Or the fame of the battle ground
But he sang no song of a soldiers
fame
By land or the white-lashed foam,
Fdf the song he sang in the trench
that night
Was the song of girl back home.
He sang song in the shell-swept
trench.
And the eyes of the weary glowed
With the old, old light of another day
Before Hate had held the road;
And their hearts at last knew a
greater thrill
Than mad charge through the
gloam.
For the song he sang in the reeking
trench
Was the song Of girl back home.
And each red bomb, as it lared above
In crimson glow on high,
Was summer moon from the old
time way
Set deep in a peaceful sky;
And each big gun, with its enuless
roar,
Was pillow for the fragrant loan,
And all because he sang that night
The song of a girl back home.

TO HONOR
MISS RANKIN.

Honoring Miss jeanette Rankin
the first lady of the land, whose
election to the United States congress
is a matter of so much interest and
pride to every woman in the United
States, Mrs. A. G.. Binkley has
planned an evening of conversation
for Friday at her home on East Mo-
reno street, to which suffragists and
those interested in the cause are cor
daily invited.
Mrs. Binkley, in speaking of her
plans, said: eve hope to make the
evening thoroughly interesting A,d
informal in character and to have
talk by Miss Minnie Kehoe Pen
sacola's woman lawyer who had the
good fortune to meet Miss Jeanette
Rankin at the time the congress
woman elect was working in ITALIA
hassee in 1912 for the suffrage
amendment. We believe that the
fact that Miss Kehoe knew personal
ly this gifted young woman, will add
very much to the interest Of the even
ing, and Miss Kehoe has promised to
give this talk, if possible to be pres
emit"
Mrs. A. C.NReilly will also talk on
Woman and the Law, and those who
heard Mrs. Reilly when she gave
these impressions at the meeting of
the Pensacola Equal Suffrage League
will not miss an opportunity to again
hear this interesting Interpretation,
and can assure their friends of a
most delightful number.
But, while it is planned to have
these two special suffrage talks, the
evening is to be most informal, de-
signed primarily for interchange of
ideas and information on suffrage and
those who are making the present
time epochal in suffrage work.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a triAe less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bal1-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore results in
an actual saving.

RENT ON ARMORY ID. BE PAID BY COUNTY
Dr. Lovelady States Appro. priatiOns for Batteries
 Will Not Be Stopped

According to pr. R. F. Lovelady, presi- dent of the county board of revenue the board has entertained no idea of discon- tinuing the payment of the rent on the armory, formerly occupied by Batteries A and of the Alabama National Guard The matter had never been before the board of revenue until yesterday, when a resolution providing for the payment of $1O0 a month to be divided between the two batteries and used to pay the rent on the armory, was passed by the board.
 Dr. Lovelady stated that certain allow ances the county had been paying to other companies had been cut off on request of the company commanders, who came to him and asked that their appropriations cease on June 20. Dr. Lovelady said that he took it for granted that as the guards men had gone into the service of the government there would be no further use of keeping up the appropriations.
 There is no further need for the mem bers of the two batteries to fear for their home, as the resolution passed yesterday provided for the rent while the boys are away" said Dr. Lovelady.
 Before this money can be had from the county treasurer, man must be ap- pointed by the governor. and put under bond to handle the money, as the law provides for all military money to be handled by persons under bond Until such man is appointed no money will he paid from the county for these pur- poses.
