THE ONE MAN SYSTEM

Kindly disposed persons who are
Interested in the prevention Of etsr-
Ral consequences should take note VI
ton, the family, has gone far enough
in its exploitation of fathers earning
ability. Only within the last half CEN
fury or so has it been the practice for
enc lone member OF the family to
grab enough of the worlds goods to
support all the others In idleness and
social hilarity. 1t hasn't been long
since mother and the boys regularly
took hand in the getting. and occas-
ionally even the girls helped out u
little.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the one man system of support Is
only an experiment. II is subject to
change without notice, and without
quarter. Honest, simple minded folk,
end all other are warned that there
will doubtless be little weeping and
wailing and crashing Of teeth when
The break comes. II we don't take
care. there may be considerable more
than a little, and pessimistic philoso-
piles and Utopian dreams may have
IL be resorted to.
Some of the more excitable friends
of man say that 1t Is high time that
Our sons and daughters be provided
with something other than advantages
end that they be taught to expect
something besides allowances and pa
trimonies. Alarmists are foreseeing
al sorts OF dire conditions-a race
Of spineless dependents, trying to CO...
lect the living that some fool has said
the world owes them not being the
least of such conditions. Although it
will not be so bad as that, we may
with propriety start a modest prepar-
alton by making IL felony for par
eIts to provide their children with
nothing but advantages We may thus
:. some measure alleviate the misery
If tomorrow.-From Judge.

This Monster Does Exist.

aquatic monster. 1t resembles I'm many
Of its characteristics the extinct dino
saur, huge reptile Of the Mesozoic
period, fossils of which have been dis
covered by paleontologists In the sand
stone strata both Of the African and
American continents.
1t lives In Lake Victoria Nyanza and
Its numerous tributaries, and there Is
no record Of the monster having been
seen In any other part Of the world.
Whether 1t is descendant of one of
the huge prehistoric saurians that has
by process of adaptation-living as
1t does In impenetrable regions far
away from the encroachments Of CIV
ilized man-continued with but slight
notifications through prodigious ages
to the present time, or whether it is an
unclassifed reptile or amphibian, 1t is
equally impossible to say, as no speci-
men exists either OF its bones or of its

however, there can be no particle Of
doubt, as the testimony Of authorita-
