Nobody can deny that, ma'am,' y

saying / don't believe in this pre-

young feller into a soldier and OF
course we'll have war
"Oh, by the way, deacon, did you
get the full amount of insurance on

asked the Old Lady, with guileless
face.
The deacon was too amazed to
answer, 1t was Mr.. Hall who said,
why, Miss Watkins the deacon's
house didn't burnt Why, what
you-"
"Oh,' said the Old Lady, "Why,
sure enough! 1t was his automo-
bile he was to get the insurance on
or was it his tobacco"
Everyone in the postoffice was
staring at her; then she laughed.
why, ! supposed YOU were speak
ing from experience, Deacon said
She. Didn't insuring your house

bacco bring hail Storm
Several laughed aloud; all smiled
except the deacon, who snorted and
glared. Anyway its no use Shut

The Old Lady laughed. "Dca-

my husband really did leave the
stable door open. Election day, it
was, and John was going to drive
his new pair O grays to the village
to vote. He had the rheumatism
real bad that autumn, and couldn't
walk it, and besides, he was mighty
proud of his grays. Well, he was
doing something to one of 'em, and
he was called out to the yard, and
first thing we knew that horse was
trotting along down the road. Poor
John forgot his rheumatism for the
moment, and off he went after il.

for leaving the stable door open.
And when we got back-you'd nev-
er believe it-hc had never once
thought to shut the door behind
that horse, and when we got back
the other one was out and gone.
John was that mad! And time he
found the other critter his back
was hurting SOS he just couldn't
go to the village and vote. That
was the very year you were up Tor

WAR SAVINGS.
By Harrington Emerson
Author of "Twelve Principles OF
EfEc;oDc,,


Author of Twelve Principles of
Efficiency"
Civilization is founded on savings,
either for progress or defense. 1t
takes $4,000 OF savings to give
employment to a railroad man. 1t
is going to take $4,000 of savings
to run this war for each man of a
million we put under arms. Never
before has money counted for so
much, and the cheapest way to meet
the gigantic cost is to save. Amer
lean industrial losses alone amount
to $50OO0,OO0 a day, not including
domestic wastes, also very large.
By thrift we could meet the whole
cost of the war. The Germans are
meeting most of their expenses in
this manner. Let us beat them to it.

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS

Not only have the Kansas City
rabbits" and goats" united on
James Cowgirl for mayor at the
April election, but the negroes OF
that city have indorsed his candi-
dacy. Therefore, the Republican
party in Kansas City being a rather
inharmonious organization at this
time, it is a good bet that Cowgirl
will be elected.

Among those congressman who,
it is conceded, will be renominated
and reelected is Joseph Gurney
Cannon of Illinois. Uncle Joe be
gan his congressional career in the
forty-third congress and has been
member Of every congress since,
except the fifty-sccond, and was
speaker in four congresses. 1t is
a safe conclusion that he will be a
congressman as long as he lives.
