1t Doesn't Take Long To Teach A

Luke McIaake Says

IF a man named William spelled it

and get away with it,
You may not believe it. But the
fat head who won't listen to reason
when you are arguing with him is
thinking the same thing of you.
And just because your wife says:
IT'S no use talking" don't get the
idea into your head that she isn't 60
ing to.
1t often happens that a girl who
doesn't need glasses has to go around
with specks on her nose.
OF course it is none of our business.
But what has become of the old
fashioned "off year" in politics?
The trouble with following the
crowd is that when you get there it
is all over.
The man who thinks he knows it
all had better stay single. He won't
get a chance to tell it II he gets mar
ried.
During the counting days he sighs
because he can't hand her a poem on

sighs because he can't hand her a
wallop on her beak.

But she Is afraid that if she laughs
she will grow fat.
There are all sorts of male animals
in this world, including the man who
would rather get married than work

The reason why a boy likes to stay

About tho only thing a pessimist has

Recent dispatches from Europe
brought the news that Otto of Bavaria
had died. The manner of his death is
not known at present, but his taking
off ended an incarceration of almost
thirty-two years in d mad-house.
Otto was deposed in November,
1913, from the throne which he had
nominally occupied for twenty-Seven
years. He would have celebrated. in
a manner of speaking, his seventieth
birthday today
Long before he came to the throne
Otto manifested symptoms of the
mental arrangement which has long
afflicted the Bavarian family. In
1870. when he had barely reached his
majority, his actions were such as to
cause him to be placed under restraint
for q time. The greatest alienists in
Europe were called in to minister to
the stricken youth and for time they
hoped that his intellect might be
saved, but in 1886. when he became
king in succession to his brother, who
drowned himself, Otto's case was
hopeless. From that time on until
his death a few months ago he was
confined in a palace prison. On one
occasion he escaped but was soon
found picking flowers in field.
Otto's brother and predecessor,
King Ludwig, who died a suicide, was
a strange compound of madness and
genius. He was a poet Of no mean
ability, and passionately devoted to
music. 1t was Ludwig who discovered
Wagner. Ludwig refused to live in
his capital. but spent his time in ro-
mantle mountain castles, remote from
cities. 1t was his greatest joy to don
golden armor and take long night
rides on milk white steeds. When his
mind finally failed he was placed un-
der the care of physicians, but he es-
capped their vigilance and threw HIM
self into the waters of Lake Starn-
berg. Shortly before that tragedy the
insane king had conceived plot to
abduct the present king of Italy, then
q youth in his teens, carry him to q
mountain retreat in Bavaria and there
hold him captive utnil ing Humbert
agreed to restore Rome to the Pope.
Thousands of otherwise sane men
were enlisted with Ludwig in this con-
spiracy, and it might possibly have
been carried out if the king had re-
tanned q semblance Of reason for lit
tie longer time.
The present ruler of Bavaria Louis
III. whose son, Crown Prince Rup-
recht commands the German army on
the Somme front.
