Last night we were walking around
feeling like there wasn't no use
in nothing much no MORE" when we
met an evening dress which looked
as if it would fall off if it's dimpled
occupant winked an eye, and she was
so sweet and airy and fairy methinks
she must have just been waited in on
some sweet scented Southern zephyr
from the heavens, and protruding
from below the fragrant filmy gown
were some fourteen odd inches of
corn-fed ankles, as shapely as two in
verified lamp chimneys. After she
passed (and we recovered) we felt
that maybe life was worth living
after all.-St. Augustine Record.
Sorry such sights are so seldom in
the Ancient City. If Felkel lived in
Ocala he would feel like life was
worth living always

It is British custom for audiences
to 3boo' the speaker, if they disagree
with him. Mr.. Bryan, whose peace
war, are well known, has had the ex-
perience of meeting an adverse Can
adian audience, in Toronto. As he
was talking on prohibition, that is to
say, that is what he would have talk
ed about had he been permitted, we
may look for the charge that it was
the whisky men who put the crowd up
to its disorderly actions. But the
facts will probably be disclosed that
the Canadian audience was merely ex-
pressing it's opinion of one who has
not warmly supported the war
against Germany since the beginning
of hostilities.-Miami Herald.
The British and Canadians have no
reason to love Mr.. Bryan. Almost
sixty years ago took place the Indian
mutiny, in which the revolving Sepoys
treated British women and children
like the Germans have been treating
the women and children of Belgium.
The British punished the perpetrators
of the outrages, and have always had
the sympathy of the American people
for doing so. Some years ago., Mr..
Bryan visited India, and was treated
by the British officials with the cour-
tesy due distinguished American.
On his return to America, he wrote a
pamphlet attacking the rule of the
British in India, and among other
things blamed them for avenging the
murder of their women at Cawnpore
and other places. He in fact talked
about the British just like the Ger
mans and Sim Feiners do, and his
pamphlet was widely circulated in the
United States by the Germans to in
cite feeling against England. So far
from being surprised at being hooted
down by Canadian audience, he was
lucky not to be rotten-egged.

1t seems to be the popular belief
that Hungary is peopled by the de-
scendants of the Huns, who under
Attila overran Europe in the fifth
century. Tt is true that the Huns
possessed Hungary, and all in its
vicinity, but so many races came
after them that the breed is probably
now extinct in that country. The
dominant race in Hungary, the
Magyars, came from eastern Asia,
and is ethnologically kin to the people
of Finland and Lapland. When they
reached Europe, the Huns had been
broken and scattered for three centu-
ries. The Bulgarians are more kin to
the ancient Huns than the Hungar-
ians of the present day, tho probably
all, like the Turks, came from the
vast country now known as Siberia,
Mongolia and Turkestan. The truth
is that the Carpathians rather than
the Urals have always been the
western boundary of Asia, and Ger
many is trying to shove it to the Alps
and the Vosges.

If You buy 25 cent THRIFT
STAMPS at the rate of only one a

saving money at the rate of SO per

Good investment isn't it? And a
patriotic habit besides-for every

great desire-to shorten this war.

Notwithstanding Americas war
preparations toward Germany, the
United States is now maintaining a
larger army than ever on the Mexi-
can border. Recent renewal of raids
and Carranza's birthday congratu-
lations to the kaiser cause many peo-
pie to believe that time for teaching
Mexico lesson is not far off. 1t has
been proven that Mr.. Wilson's pa
thence is not inexhaustible, and Mex
leo would make a good training
ground for troops that might later
have to fight in Europe.

In successful French drive
against the German line in 1916 a
Canadian regiment passed through
what was left of a French village.
There was nothing but ruin and de-
struction on all sides. Numerous dead
and mutilated children were found. In
front of the village butcher shop,
and hanging on one of the meat
hooks, was the naked body of little
girl of ten or twelve years. There
were two or three bayonet holes
through her chest. The regiment has
never since taken German prisoner,
nor has one of its men been taken
alive.

DIR. A. N. Davis, who was the
kaiser's private dentist, who left Ber-
lin month ago and is now in Amer
lea, says the German press is max
ing every effort to foster the idea
that America is not in the war in
earnest, that everything American is
belittled and President Wilson's ad-
dresses are so treated by the newspa-
pers as to convey the idea that Amer
lea is only interested in the welfare
of the world. He predicts that en-
nifty toward England will be nothing
to the hatred against America when
the people realize from military pres
sure that America is fighting.

There was comparatively small
crowd out at the Red Cross lecture
last night, and it was specially notice

In several counties in Oregon, the
railroads constitute more than one

taxes on the railroads. The Colum-

there will be plenty of them left to
