1t wuz faithful buttonhole
That to button gay
Was welded in the glad spring

And these words it did say:
you are my seventh button
And YOU will not stay on;
The others they was like you.
And they have went and gone,
ITO hold this Goa; together,

But the owner oughter know it
That ! can't do it alone
But virtue is rewarded,
And when away you roll
They'll find another button
For the faithful buttonhole.

ON THE LAST CRUMB.

The Old Lady was visiting he>
Cousin .Joseph's family over sun
day, The Saturday dinner table was
bountifully set forth, and beside
Cousin Joseph's place was a plate o.
fine white biscuit. The Old Lady
jokingly said something about it
and Cousin Joseph's wife remarked
with little note OF pride:
YES, Joseph always has to have
his hot biscuit"
"How's that, Joseph? ? the Old
Lady asked. What about the wal

kindly, tolerant smile at his wom-

now, we haven't come to that yet

Isn't it?' the Old Lady asked.
And just when do you think it will

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Despite assertions that have been made
that President Wilson and the British
navy advocates were beginning to hold
views more in sympathy with each other,
there is a feeling that there is still a
wide gap between the chief exponent of
the league of nations and those who wish
to maintain Britains naval supremacy,
And there surely are two sides to the
question. There is probably no doubt
that Great Britain would be willing to
reduce her ornaments were it positively
certain that she could maintain her com
merce and also dwell in safety in her
island home. If the plan of perpetual
world peace would come into operation
through the league of nations, or some
other agency, Great Britain would
promptly reduce her navy to the mini
mum because the cost of upkeep of the
sea force is tremendous, on top of which
is the cost Of new construction constant
in the world But there is no assurance
that nation like Germany, for instance,
smarting under the sting Of defeat, would
not break over the bounds of the league
of nations and make plans to wage war
against Great Britain. That would ne
cessitate armed force on the part of the
league of nations to prevent Germany
from carrying out her designs. 1t is
more than probable that some other ma.
ton would rush to the side of Germany,
which would necessitate still larger
force of war vessels, to say nothing Of
armies for invasion of the seeding ma
tons. Armaments Of considerable size
would be necessary in order to make sure
of the success Of the league of nations to
enforce peace in the world. Then, too,
Great Britain would be called upon, along
with other nations, TO furnish large fleets
for blockade Of German ports and for the
transportation of troops and supplies. In
the meantime the British Isles, surround
ed by water, would be compelled to pro-
tect herself. Under such conditions the
British navy would be OF inestimable
| value.
So it seems that whether or not the
league of nations becomes an accom-
plished fact it viii still be necessary for
Great Britain to maintain considerable
strength on the sea; and the advocates
of the league of nations in the Paris con-
ferences must bear that in mind. 1t
would be entirely unreasonable to ask
Great Britain to strip to the same point
of disarmament as other nations, and it
would be impracticable, too, for the Unit
ed States to maintain a navy of a size
only commensurate with that of some Of
the other European powers There must
be striking concession on both sides il
the league of nations is to be put in OPP

Familiarity with machinery may breed
contempt for it; else how can we explain
so many accidents in which workman
is caught by the whirling belt and hurled
to death or serious injury2 Of course,
the law is being lived up to, which re-
quires that parts of machinery be en-
closed when there is danger from contact
with it. But even though the revolving
wheels and the swiftly moving belt are
properly encased the human element
must be reckoned with, for nearly every
one is sometimes prone to carelessness.
in the first place it should be seen to
that the proper protection is afforded the
workman. That done, it is incumbent on
him to exercise reasonable degree of eau
ton. Loose fitting clothing never should
be worn about machinery which is re-
volving, because loose part of the gar
ment may be caught at some most unex-
peeted moment and the wearer of the
garment may be drawn into the machin-
cry before aid can come to relief.
