About Shedding Tears.

What are the use of tears in grief inquiries.
Tears say, the great Jewelers. of nature. They
are the force that brings humanity a plane.
They are the force that the distinguishing mark
between riches and poverty, that brushes aside learn
ing and puts the fool footing with the philosopher.
Tears typify the clay made of, they bring US
to firm acknowledgement of helpessness, and the
fact that Greater Force than life masters Life when
and how il will
Tears to life what spring is to the year. They
battle the best there is in with their how and
thoughts spring rains nurture the grass
Tears make US bask in the sunshine of sympathy
and forgiveness and of Love itsef-the worthwhile
qualities of Life and without which there could be
life
So tears we say, must be. We should be thankful
for them Without them We would not care for Life
With them Life becomes the prelude to Eternity

Would Surely Come Back.

Reference in the lobby of Washington hotel the
other night was made to the subject of foxness when
Senator John K Shields, of Tennessee smilingy re-
marked that he reminded of little incident along
that line
One afternoon stranger entered store in a
small town in Tennessee and asked the young man
clerk for pair of boots. While he was trying them
him and asked him if he could be trusted for the
balance until the next day. The young willingly
agreed.
After the boots had been wrapped up and the
stranger had the proprietor sernly took the clerk
to task.
what in the world did you do a thing like that
for?" he demanded. "You don't know the man and
he will never come back with that balancew
Oh, yes, he will be back all right" was the positive
rejoinder of the young
You seem to be very sure of it." returned the boss
What grounds have you for thinking SOP"
The boots that wrapped up for him." answered

Good Treatment for Rumors.

OF course ugly rumors follow Congress back to
the homes of the members. They've probably fol-
lowed every Congress that met. And they'll
follow every other war Congress that Uncle Sam has
in the thousands of years life which hope due
him. Rumors, particularly if they ugly, have that
way of doing and they cannot be stopped.
The people, however. not interested in rumors
per They want to know the cause of the rumors-
if there is any they will proceed to remove it, and if
not they do not expect rumors to their circu-
lation
The last Congress turned precedent upside down,
and became used to doing revolutionary and man.
moth things, indeed that it is no wonder the breath
of scandal heard once around Washington.
The only Congress that could fight free of rumor
would be inert, indecsive Congress and God knows
the past few months have been times for jey-fsh
souls to nhabit Congressional halls.
To those who think the rumors are not without
foundation we say PROVE THEM.
To those who think the rumors are groundless we
say: FORGET THEM.
Meanwhile, put a wheatess day on your calendar,

MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY.
BERTON BRALEA

BERTON BRALEY.
It's all of the fashion Just lately
For actresses regal and stately
To pose in their peignoirs sedately,
While cute little ponies appear
In hlmiest sill1en chemises,
A sight which, however it pleases,
Must lead to some snuffles and sneezes,
At least at, this time of the year.
There's also the smooth hocus-pocus
OF photographs Just out of focus
Depicting girl with a crocus
Or rose in her hand, as you wish;
Or showing her sitting at twilight
(lt's managed by shading the sky-light)
Or standing mid many high light
To gaze at bowl full of fish,
And then there's the style Botticelli,
Of ladies as languid as jelly
And slim as the best vermicelli
Who watch toy balloons with delight
Yes hundreds of attitudes odd'll
Bewilder the eye and the noodle,
they never resemble the model
But my, they're artistic all right
Such stuff Photographic the rage is,
1t cutters the magazine pages
And makes the photographers wages
Go up most excessively far;
But Pm bit sick of queer poses
And half lights that blur peoples noses,
Bring back the old kind that discloses
Our features the way that they arei

Stop Extortions.

Living costs would be greatly re-
duced II extortions could be ferreted
out of Congress, and II they could be
topped Just as soon as they are fer
reted out. That is Senator Stones
idea and he wants to get the really
thinking men Of Congress" behind
1t so he says.
1.-THE taxing power Is one Of the
Congressional powers rarely ques-
toned" the Senator says sagely.
Cannot this power be utilized in some
way or other to legitimately and ad-
visedly compel authentic information
which will go to the root of the high
price evil and can't some power be
used to make extortion un7rofta Bile"
Food production. the Senator insists.
involves only two great processes.
these divided into a multitude of
minor processes which complicate the
matter but which can easily be traced
down to their conclusion IL Congress
has patience.
These are ~. the production. of
food and (2). the preservation and dis
tribution of food" he delineates.
Then he says that law should be
passed 1evying a tax on wholesale
and retail dealers and that they should
make regular reports as a basis for
that tax. In that way they wi; dis
close the amount of food they have
on hand. what 1t cost them and other
data which would have TO eventually
bear the sunlight OF publicity.
The Missouri Senator thinks cold
storage houses as originally run, are
mpositions-and that besides keeping
food products for the public they are
keeping them from tho public. The
only thing they let escape now and
;hcn are the large prices which they
ask Tor their storage products.
This phase of the subject will be
given consideration in the high cost
campaign which Congressmen will
wage individually while they are
among their home folks. Their hope
is to discover some force that will
DO away with speculation to the core.
and that will eradicate some of the
evils which the people are guilty of
themselves. THE OBSERVER,
