BRIEF COMMENT

The noise made by the coal profit
GERS calls to mind the ear-piercing
squeals when the hogs are stuck in
the packing houses.
General Sheridan is alleged to have
said on n occasion that he preferred
Hades to Texas. Probably the peo-
pie of Houston agreed with him dur
ing the shooting up of that city by
savage negro soldiers.
Uncle Sans war expenses are said
to be a million dollars an hour. If
this figuring is not incorrect, it ought
to be. A million dollars an hour and
not yet actually in the fight.
Some of those suffrage pickets, af-
ter deliberately and obstinately in
viting a diet of bread and water, now
complain that the food in the Dis
trict of Columbia workhouse is not
good enough.
Cuba is grateful. Instead of selling
or trading four German ships she
turns them yer to the United States
to be fused for the common benefit
to bring the war against Germany to
a prompt and victorius end"
According to ex-Ambassador Ger
ard, the Germans in ordinary times
ate even meals a day. Only the lucky
ones are sure of three now, and the
growing discomfort in short-rationed
Germany needs no explanation.
The American soldier who went to
France Ito fight, not to crawl into a
hole and look at the Germans through
a spyglass," will have to learn that in
modern war, with its multiplied en-
gines of destruction, the most import
ant thing is to avoid suicide.
In denouncing England as "the
chief instigator of this war;" the kali
ser forgets that he himself at the
outset proved the contrary when he
sneered at "the <ontemptible little
English army" which was, in fact.
not much bigger in August, 1914, than
ours was when we declared war last
April.
The brilliant Italian offensive is
regarded as more important just now
than the successful British drive or
ever the great French gains. If Rus
STA had only stood firm, what an op-
p%ortunity would now be hers to scat
ter the Austrians on the one side
while they are being beaten by the
Italians on the other.
Skirts are to be still shorter and
scanter, and the question naturally
suggested is whether the process is
to find its limit only in the primitive
fig leaf. Meanwhile it may be OBJ
served that the parade of feet, mostly
large ones, would have startled our
dear dainty, defined grandmothers who

KERR TO
COLONEL MILLER

Dear Cousin,-I seat myself TO
write to you on an important mat
fer of business. My friend Marston
WAS here last week as you saw from
The Press and Banner and brought
me a pera. He called it an Avocado
hut Uncle Jim, who has been TO
Florida says it was an Alligator
near, Marston says he raised 1t on
his grapefruit farm from which
he said he would send US some grape
fruit. This was last year ne sald
this about sending the grapefruit
This year he says he sold the farm
and increase just like you mortgage
q cow and the man who has the
farm for this year gets the increase
which is the grapefruit, but to show
me that he was thinking about me
he brought me a pear.
Thsi pear was very large and
Marston said all of it was good to
eat except the skin which was very
thin. The outside layer looked
something like a cantaloupe when 1t
was taken off the ball of seed on
the inside. This he said ne and
Big Sister would eat, and as the
seed were the best part of 1T ne
would give me and "sun" the seed
Tn order to eat the seed he said it
was necessary to mash them up
we'll and put oil on them. He did
the mashing and when he got
through we could find no oil except
some castor oil and Marston sale
it was the very thing so he fixed II

it was a job, and "Sun" kicked {

Well, l am out after eating tn

down to see Dick Sondley who is a
connoisseur on thirgs to eat, know
ing that he had tasted limeberger
cheese, hog feet, deviled crabs,
frien dice cream and all kinds OF
dishes and I asked him if Marston
had put up job on me. l soon saw
that Dick knew nothing about an
Avocado though he tried to look
wise and said some seed were good
to eat and others not, and that you
had to pull them in the right time
of the moon and so on, just about
like g. politician would talk, as you
can imagine, all around the sub
ject and up through the middle and
back again and say nothing. Well,
that is the way Dick talked. Fin
allv, I asked him straight out if he
had ever sen Avocado and he had
to admit that he hadn't though ne
said that Pat Roche had cousin
who had eaten one once and that
he told Pat about it.
So not being able to find out
whether the seeds of such fruit
should be eaten with oil I am writ
ing to you to get the information
as I know that you have eaten
away from home as much, and as
far away as most anybody l know
I want definite information in this
matter as I am going to turn the
matter over to my lawyer if l lind
that Marston playe da trick on me-
You see that eating the seed of this
Avocado might have given both me
and "Sun" the appendicitis. Wei
