The Only Trouble.
The only trouble about single
women going into politics is they all
want to get into a new ring as soon
as they possibly can.
The Best Thing.
The best thing between Germany
and the United States is the Atlantic:
ocean.
Awaiting Report From Headquarters.
In recent address the Kaiser de-
clared that he was the vice-regent
of the Almighty. The worlds peo-
pie are waiting to hear from God
before they admit the claim
ParadOxical.
1t is the wife that always gives
up gracefully that has her own way
the most frequently.
Not Strange.
An English paper states under a
scare heat that: "Queen Alexandria
pets babies in an hospital" Moth
ing strange about that the Queen is,
a woman.
What They Are Going To Insnst Ons-
American girls are going to insist
that the soldier boys sent to France
be supplied with osculator protectors
as we'll as gas protectors.
Why?
A girl likes to be called "boyish,''
but no boy likes to be called girl
ish."
Equal If Not Superior.
It takes as much, if not more pa
triotism to fight potato bugs than it
does to fight Prussians.
Softening Necessary.
Unless the oil Of forbearance is.
frequently applied to the marriage
tie it is sure to become hard knot.
The Only Exception.
Everybody knows just how to bring
up children except fathers and moth
erS.
The Only Reason.
After six-year old Mabel had been
soundly slippered by her mother she
gravely remarked: eff 1 could hold
together without it I would wish
that didn't have any spanking place.
Natural History
Swift running animals always live
longer than hard fighting ones.
She Can Do 1t
Only pretty woman can unmake
a self-made man.
Like Kind Word
An advertisement is like a kind
word, you never can tell how far it
will reach.
She Likes Repeater, But Not a
Talker
If young man kisses girl and
tells about it she gets properly vexed
but she has no objection to his repeat
ing it.
Supplies the Test
If it were not for the fact that death
is certain there would be no zest in
living.
Imagination
There is many man who thinks he'
is very energetic when he is only
mighty fussy.
The Reason
Many maid marries a man to keep
some other girl from getting him.

ed, well considered judgment and not
be compelled to ratify self-imposed
selections of men for public place,
ability will pass out of the councils of
the nation, craftsmanship become a
lost art and gall will usurp the place
Of leadership.

clamor of candidates appealing to
them for support. 1t might be well in
these critical times, for the people to
do some appealing and the candidates
some listening.
