Puck, the famous humorous weekly

country according to the modern theo
ry of telling the naked truth.
The first of its historical numbers

ticie as an indication of what is to
come, our satirical contemporary aims
to upset some cherished traditions of
the little red school house.
Tradition has clouded history since
the beginning of time explains Puck s
historian. There is abundant testimony
extant that Joan of Are was burned by
proxy only, and as a matter of fact
lived long enough to settle down and
marry the man of her choice.

Puck has uncovered many traditions

Isabella never pawned her jewels to

WILSON'S IDLE MOMENTS.

From the New York evening Post,
(Ind) The president, he is a lucky
man, these Gays. He has nothing to
do. A few trifles take up few min
ntes of his time, but the rest is all his
own. He merely has to keep watch
of legislation; prod congressman;
read the reports from the Mexican
frontier, and give the consequent or
ders; confer with the members of the
cabinet; try to get competent men to
serve on the joint Mexican com.
mission; make some new complaints to
Great Britain and Germany; talk for
an hour to $40 railway leaders in the
East Room; confer with all the rail-
way presidents; keep up with his cor.
respondence; receive delegations; read
republican speeches. And time would
hang heavy on his hands were it not
for the presence of a former Judge in
the White House grounds who
throws stones at the windows and
cries out that the man living there il
incurably inefficient. But for this di-
version, President Wilson might not
be able to resist feeling of ennui.

International Cain.
After the war the world will be a
very different world from what it was
before. Governments and their citizens
win become vastly more democratic and
travel will be more general between the
people of the various nations, hence
the money for the convenience of trav-
elers especially should be simplified in
stead of remaining so confusing and so
difficult of understanding as it is now
throughout Europe. America. England,
France aud Germany ought to agree up.

If it worked well Japan. China, Russia

travellers going from one country to

more world intercourse and universal
standard would materially help travellers
and do away with the complications
now caused by each country having its
own coin money. 1t is also timely to
suggest some other method of settling
our foreign trade balance than by the
crude and uneconomic method of gold
shipments. Why send gold TO and fro
across the seas at considerable risk and
expense, when if suitable institution
were created balances could be adjusted
merely by transfer of credits or shin.

he decided, when he was a poor boy
trying to make living for nis widowed
mother, that if he ever got rich he
would do just that. He built the tent
city because he thought living in hous.

working girls, More than 100 Tulsa
girls are living there now.
The tents are II by IA feet, floored,
and boarded on the sides distance of
four feet, with collapsible canvas tops.
Two girls occupy one tent. The tent
streets have gas plates every few yards
so the girls may cook. There is fresh
water and at night are lights and
watchmen guard the town. There is a
free bath house for the girls, and they
have all the privileges of the park IS
concessions.
Girls who heretofore had to quit
their work in the tense heat of sum

Even some of the girls from wealth
