interesting Life Statistics.

On the authority of experts repre-
senting forty-three leading life insur-
ance companies in the United States,
it appears that a spinster lives longer
than married woman. Business wom-
en- live longer than business men. A
woman who takes an endowment pol
icy lives longer than a. woman who
takes an ordinary life policy. 1t is not
easy to explain why an unmarried
woman survives a matron, nor why q
business woman survives bust
ness man, but the longevity of the
endowment woman is believed to be
due TO the determination to live until
the policy natures. Will power is
hardly less important in many cases
than physique, and must always be
reckoned with. Even in disease q man
or woman possesses a natural tend
ency toward health, and cures which
often are attributed to medicine are
really the assertion of the will.-Cap-

An Ocala man, who has just re-
turned from Fernandina, tells a good
joke on the well-known politician,
Pleasant Holt. 1t seems that Mr..
Holt, who has few failings except an
unappeasable desire to maintain the
liquor business, went in his auto from
Jacksonville to Fernandina, and in
the latter place loaded the car up
with booze, to take back to jackson.
vile. Of course, his presence and his
mission were both well known in Fer
nandina, but neither the sheriff nor
the town police interfered with him
although carrying whisky out of one
county into another is against the
state law. However, it is also against
federal regulations to take whisky
into Jacksonville, and the federal of
ficers in Fernandina soon got wise to
Mr. Holt So they told the sheriff, but
that individual was reluctant to in
terfere. Then the federal officers
told the sheriff that if he didn't head
off Holt they would, and report him
beside. So the sheriff had Holt held
up at the drawbridge over the Amelia
river and his cargo confscated. Pleas
Holt is mighty fine man, and it is q
pity that he won't cut loose from the
waterlogged craft of John Barley
corn. We understand he doesn't use
the stuff himself and he should be
willing to help keep it out of hands
of weaker men.

WANTED THE WAR

That the present war is a "war of
revenge" long desired by the Pan
Germans, writes Kurd Won Strantz, a
Pan-German leader in book entitled
*Our National War Goal" published
in Germany.
German newspapers received in
America quote the author as saying:
an my boyhood days the German
war of retaliation as we must name
this world war more correctly, was
the dream of my life, the realization
of which | have never despaired of,
although / did doubt that / would live
to see it in view of the unfortunate
peace policy followed by the post
Bsmarckian administration.
"But | have lived to enjoy that
happiness. By word and letter | have
fought for this war of revenge which
finally is to restore our old national
and political frontiers which we had
gradually lost in the east and west
since 1862. Neither 1915 nor 1871 re-
stored those frontiers.
Bismarck started our national
rise but he did not complete it. His
discharge impeded the victory prom
ising course. as his successor gave
half of German Africa senselessly
without any compensation to our new
arch-enemy, England. Herewith be-
gan the descent which only this world
war could arrest and which / longed
for and foresaw when such thoughts
were unpopular"
The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the
entire ehemy world will learn of this
confession with great satisfaction
and adds: eff Herr Won Strantz had
been paid for his book by enemy
agents he could not have better work
ed into the hands of the enemy coun-
tries" The book, says the Vorwaerts,
| is proof of the criminal activities of
certain Pan-German circles which
now openly boast that they had long
ed for this war as their greatest
happiness.

JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabie Was Well
Able to Appreciate Unconscious
Humor Of the Children.

The late Hamilton W. Mabie, the
well-known American essayist, was
one of those genial men who enjoyed
a joke on themselves. Illustrating this
phase of Mr.. Mabie's character, it is
told that when he was a student Mr..
Mabie made an address in which he
told this story:
He had visited school In Philadel-
phia in which there was q daily fire.
drill. The teacher regularly asked the
students, Children, what would you
do if fire were to break out in this
building?" The children all repeated
in chorus, 1--WE would rise in our
places, step into the aisle, and march
quietly out of the building" On the
morning when Mr. Mabie visited the
school, while he. was sitting quietly on
the platform, the teacher stepped be-
fore the pupils and said, Children,
what would you say if were to tell
you that Mr.. Mabie is to speak to you
this morning?" The children prompt
ly replied in chorus, 1--WE would rise
in our places, step into the aisle, and
march quietly out of the building"

ENGLAND'S BIT

The enquiry is sometimes heard
whether England is doing all it ought
to in the war
When we are suffering from 10000
to 10000 casualties week and have
kept it up for three years, when we
have stood pat under the stress of air
raids, and gone without meat and
butter and sugar without complaining
and have sent so many men into the
army that the biggest machine shops
in the country are operated almost
exclusively by women. and have paid
taxes such as we haven't yet contem-
plated-then and not till then will we
begin to have the right TO enquire
whether England is doing all it can.
