Philadelphia Ledger

Philadelphia Iledgcrl
 Science is an cNtrayagant jade. It invents all sorts of 1uHuries for man kind and then taxes mankind to pay dearly for such inventions.
 Take this business of killing men the price has risen enormously. When the thrifty Quakcrs under the old Penn regime controlled the Pennsyl- vania Assembly the highest price this colony ever paid for a dead Indian was $l50. Many scalps were bought at from S0O to $15.
 At that time the quotation for al, Indian corpse was only about 50 times the rate fixed for a panther carcass. Now. contrast those modest prices for a dead Delaware with the sum which England is paying for {, dead German or Turk.
 Assuming that England has in f1icted as heavy losses upon the Teu- ton and Turk as the Teutor and Turk have inflicted upon England the latter being officially announced King George has paid about $10,- 900 a head for all the enemies he has bagged.
 One home made bullet fired from a $20 Springfield rifle sufficed the fronticrsman when enga ged in his amiable game of hunting savages. Now nations must gun for their foes with fifteen million dollar dread thoughts or with cannon that cost from $15 to $10O every time they are fred.

'Wow. Yo~!! Scow tch.!" yelled Bixby Candles, leapins out Of bed in terror

 Going down to the office that morning, he met WuAh- ford Bits.
 "Morning, Wash, eaid Can dies. Fine, bracing morning eh V - tel! you, a man en- Joys his cold shower on morning like this!"
 DO You mean to say you take cold showers at this time of year." exclaimed Bits, gag Ing thunderstruck at the weak and p,,ny Candles.
 "E~ery morning." replied Candles promptly.
 As he was hanging up his hat ard coat at the office hks casually mentioned his daily cold shower. and during: the day he casually mentioned it so many times that finally he half believed 1t himself. The last person to whom he casu- ally mentioned 1t wns Reardon Ijnde
 "well, we'll" said Finders. "Tvc been thinking Of having a shower arranKem in stalled in my home. I'd like 10 have a look at yours some time"
 ''sure--any time. any ttlne,' invited Candles heartily.
 "I'N drop in tomorrow eve hing" said Finders.
 AS soon as he got home, Candles 'phoned to the plumb CT and was told that the regu- lar SIS shower now cost S213 to install because of the war. Candles shuddered and told him to install it the following morning. EnderS failed to come around after all. but Candles, rather than waste the S2t3. took a cold shower fthere wasn't any warm wa ter) the morning after the shower was installed, and not being used to it, contracted a cold and, a week later, died of inf1a m n1ation of the stubbe- derry lining.
