When a man tells a story well, he
is apt to tell it too often.
When the average person gets
started he talks too much.
1t is also possible to learn too
blamed much from experience.
The occupation of mud singing can
also be pursued in dry weather.
Most of thu 'sponging" is done by
people who never take that kind of a
bath.
Nearly every man has a bunch of

If a woman is pretty she had better
be careful: people love to Jump" a

Every man thinks he could devise
an interesting plot and write the
worlds greatest detective story if he
didn't have to devote all of his time
making living.

If Colonel Roosevelt is a candidate
for the Republican presidential NOM
nation. as some of The political wise
acres insist, he is looming up as much
the same sort of a one that Justice
Hughes is, or is not. He frowns on
any attempt to label him definitely as
a candidate, as is evidenced by his ac-
ton in demanding the Withdrawal of
his name from among the presidential
candidates en- the Illinois Republican
primary ballot. And this is the fourth
state in which Mr.. Roosevelt has re-
fused to allow his name to be used in
this fashion.

On the Spur
of the Moment

BY ROY K. MoULTON.

Tough Luck.
I'd sit around the billiard hall
And loaf the whole day long,
And life TO me I'm sure would be
just one long, grand sweet song.
l wouldn't hustle to the mill
Like any common lob;
l would be some aristocrat
If my wife had a job
would not grab the dinner pail
And start to work at 6;
I'd stick around the corner store,
And argue politics.
I'm sure I could become a boss,
In fact, a real nabob,
If l could spend the time at it,
And my wife had a job.
L would become a autocrat.
I'd just pass out advice.
I'd solve all knotty problems
Without money, without price. 2
I'd pose as one great financier, -
With John D. I'd raise hob.
could do all of that and more,
If my wife had a job. e
1 guess that 1 can never join
The gang down at the store.
Who have been runnin' of this world
For 20 years or more.
I've got to work and earn my way.
I'm just a common slob,
With no one to look out for me.
My wife amt got no job.

On the evening after Filter FLYING
squirrel met Slippy White-mouse at
the mink trap, he SCI out early for the
swamp. You see he hoped to find
Slippy again and perhaps get better
acquainted with him.
MY mother says he is the very best
member of the whole mouse family"
said Filter to himself as he scra M

down nc sailed again.
So, jolrneying up the tree trunks
and down in wide, outward turning
curves, Filter made his way toward
the swamp.
Il think I'll wait right here where
the trap was last NIGHT" said Filter,
after a careful look around. Hes

He had not had time to grow inn
patient, when he heard u soft little
sound in the moonlight That's

sure enough, It was, And Slippy was
just as glad to see Filter as Filter
was to see him, which is a pleasant
way to have things.
May you always find plenty of
traps to rob- said Filter pleasantly.
And may you always have so much
to eat that you never need 10 rob
traps" replied SIppy.
Filter laughed. Whatever made
yoE think of such a funny wish as
that?" he asked. "Of course [ like it
and I Thank you fer making it for
me-" ne added hastily, for he realized
that it is very unkind to criticise a
wish that is made with good intent,
but L never heard of such a wish
before and 1 wonder how you hap
pehed to think of it,
That's easily explained" said
Slippy kindly. Il thought of it be-

for them to turn this great trick. Let

heart, as all CT them should.

activity be reduced to a minimum
They held that that state is best which
governs least. Accordingly to them the
state should simply play the part of a
policeman, and protect life and prop
erty, while the individual should be
given the greatest degree of freedom
to do what seemed best to him. If he
prospered the state must prosper, since
it is composed of individuals. Even the
establishment of schools, they argued,
lay outside the field of legitimate state
activity. Our views on this subject
have changed decidedly since the days
of Mill and Humboldt.

g If the crown prince of Germany has
been relieved from his command be-
cause of the German failure at YER
dun, he will have been punished for
not being able to accomplish the i'm
possible. So strong are the positions
of both sides in the western arena of
the war with their tremendous equip
ment of murderous modern guns. that
this battle line continues to be what it
has been for so long, a deadlock, and
the only KEY of which is death.

QUAKER NEGOTIATIONS.

[From the Philadelphia Record.1
A friend in need is worth two needy
friends.
It's a mean sort of success that
crows over failure.
Time is money, especially at the
pawnbroker's rate of interest.
A man is never too old to learn, but
he is sometimes too young to real
ize it.
A man is known not only by the
company he keeps, but by the friends
he gives away.
If our good intentions were all real
lied, the devil would have to invent a
new paving system.
You never can tell. Many a first
class officeseeker gets nothing better
than a fourth-class postoffice.
At any rate the woman who marries
man to reform him never finds time
hanging heavily on her hands.

cause a fellow is willing to pay her
compliments, he is anxious to pay her
bills.

ssWHAT Ais US?"

No utterance that has been made by
this newspaper in many years has at
tracted such general and favorable at
tention as has the presentation of the
ideas of its editor under the above
caption in a recent issue. 1t will be
recalled that this editorial observation
pointed out a lack of the development
of her resources by Kansas that Is
glaring in comparison with what has
been and is being done by her sister
states; and an apparent reluctance or
diIIy-dallying on the part of Kansas in
using her great wealth, literally but
judiciously. to provide the actual
needs of the state if it is to maintain
the position of prominence in the ma
ton to which it's natural and material
advantages entitle it. 1t was call for
Kansas to awake and extend itself
And the response has been most graft
flying Nor is this qualification per-
sonal with the State Journal. OF
course, this newspaper is pleased with
the commentator that has come to it
for it's efforts to arouse Kansas from
its lethargy 1t wouldn't be human if
it were not. But the largest measure
of qualification that comes to the
state Journal on this score is due to
the undeniable evidence that is re-
veaIed by the favorable comment on
What Ais Us?" This is, that other
Kansas newspapers and men of promi-
hence in the state, as well, are equally
alive to the necessities of Kansas; that
they join the State Journal in diagnos-
ing the states ills. This, in turn,
means that a cure is certain to be ap-
piled; that Kansas is to emerge from
her shell.
And so. such of these commenda-
tions on What Ais Us?" as may be
presented in these columns FIR n time
to time will not be published by the
State Journal through any selfish de-
sire to trumpet loudly on it's own
horn, but for the purpose of showing
that Kansans realize the deficiencies
of the development of their state, and
are in mood to eradicate them. And
this can only be interpreted as indi-
eating that Kansas will come into her
own, and that the start is not going to
be delayed.
Bale P. Waggener, of Atchison, a
state senator of many years standing
and recognized on all sides as ono of
the states most discerning citizens,
writes:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The article entitled What Ais Us?"
which appeared in your paper on
Thursday February II, should be
carefully read by every citizen in the
state of Kansas, whatever may be his
politics, and, to that end. should be
reproduced in the newspapers of every
county in the state. Every line of it
is replete with the ideals of good citi-
zenship, and should receive the I'M
qualified endorsement of every taxpay-
err of the state. 1t is splendid and 1 do
hope it will be generally read. 1t is a
new thought and will be productive of
much good. B. P. WAGGENER.
