81 wonder if this fellow is really
blind9-there is so much shamming even
among our best beggars," unused Simon
Simons, honorary president of the Eco
nomical Sports.
And he looked long at the black
spectacled mendicant who was sitting
on the pavement holding his tin cup
out in front Of him, and then resolved,
'"I'll just see for myself. As Epitetns
so truly said, 'the proof Of the egg is
in the heating.'"
And, walking to the beggar, he drop
ped a cent into his tin cup, at the same
time, under cover of the rattle made by
the penny, deftly removing nickel.
"Thank yeu kindly SIR" said the
beggar, as Simon Simons passed ON.
"Perhaps he saw what did and is
only pretending he didn t" thought 81
mon Simons when he had got to the
next corner. And to make sure, he re-
traced his steps, dropped the nickel in
the cup and took a dime out.
fMay your shadow never grow less"
said the beggar.
"Well, perhaps he IS blind after all, I"
mused Simon Simons. Still TO make
doubly sure, he walked past once again,
dropped the dime in and took out
quarter.
"May you live to be two hundred,
SIR" said the beggar.
f'He' really blind, all right" Simon
Simons said to himself as he pursued
the even tenor of his way.

Like soldiers of war when the fight

Then I long for the peace that is past

That might have been mine, lass, in

with soft arms entwining,
But there's none gave the love that

And might have seen you, with your

Acrooning to children-my children

SHOULD ACCEPT JAPAN's OFFER

From the statement of one of the japanese commits
Sioners in Washington yesterday it Japan is ready
to send big force to assist the Russians and that the
only she does not is because the allies are doubtful
to whether it will not trouble after the war in
the settlement of far eastern affairs Japan
she will consent to peace that gives Germany back
her possessions in the Orient and it the fear of other
complications after the war that causes the allies to
hesitate about accepting Japan offer throw her forces
into the field to help Russia 1t strikes us that the first
thing for the allies to get off their minds the present
war; and they should leave nothing undone that will assist
in accomplishing that object. What Japan may want
after the is of moment Whatever it may be
it be asserted that it is nothing compared to what
Germany would want if she should win A few hundred
thousand 'te brown men, would hearten the Russians
wonderfully and with the financial assistance the United
States is ready to give them the stories coming from the
Russian front would soon have different twang.
While the Japan commission is here apparently on
visit and not business the fact is that some important
measures will be discussed and doubt these will result
in better understanding between the two countries
Before the commission goes home if Japan is ready and
willing they say she is to send her soldiers to the Rus
sian 'front.' steps should be taken by this government to
set the allies right and convince them that the winning
OF this is the main business in hand and that all
others can wait With Japan in the really, well
theoretically every continent would have nation
in arms against Germany, except South America, and
there of the nations are not on speaking terms
with her.
