The Price We Paid.
(New York World.)

As the veil is lifted in Europe how tremendous were the achievements of the Allied Ar mics in the immortal 119 days from July 15, the date of the last German drive to Nov. II, when Ger many admitted defeat If vaor in battle be the supreme test of manhood, then the losses the vic tories tell that the has grown
 An English authority estimates our casualties in the Argonne-Meuse Battle by far the greatest command. at 160,000 eight times those of the Ger indicate that he is approximately correct This gives losses Of the two armies 48O0O, 30 per cent but when the battle there over, North and South alike were exhausted. At the Mouse the Americans ready to fight the next hour but there nobody to fight.
 When our marines thrown the path of the Germans after they had down from the Aisne and the Vese and driving a spear-head toward Paris, less than forty miles away, they had more than 4,000 casualties out of 5000 engaged but they never yielded inch. At the Second Mar ne the 38th Regiment, regulars held off five times it's number, despite losses In this battle one of the most dramatic and important in the worlds history, had, according to Pershings re- port, 30O,000 men, about many the Allied Ar mics at Leipzig, at least 50 per cent more than all the armies at Waterloo.
 The British casualties at Waterloo were $500 By this scale they fought than hundred Waterloos in those blazing four months, and the French, on innumerable fields, showed valor and constancy never surpassed and probably never equalled by the race that has burned more gun powder than any other in Europe.

 Why is it that the women who do the most kissing on the street are the kind who look life if they didn't kiss each other they would go unkissed.
 If fellow is really, truly in love with girl he never resorts to any of the high-flown speeches you read in the Best Sellers. He has to sit around in durib misery and swallow a wash tub that gets into his throat every time he wants to say some thing, and the girl does the talking for both of them.
 Funny how a man gets so tired of holding 10-pound girl in his arms and never gets tired of holding a 110-pound girl in his arms.
 Some of the Huns must have the idea by now that if the fuss had last ed much longer the Tanks would have put fence around the war and charged admittance.

MISREPRESENTING, AS USUAL.

The Ketchikan Weekly Pioneer, not the Daily Pro- gressive- Miner alleged in the Dispatch, says
 The Empire is resting in the assur-
 ance that Sulzer has gained a victory
 over Wickersham in the Delegate cleo
 ton this Fall but is modest in giving
 the plurality Sulzer will have. The Elm
 pire claims that Suzer will be elected
 by majority of seven votes.
 Of course The Empire claimed anything o the sort. The Empire said that Sulzer was sever votes ahead, giving Wickersham the best of al doubtful reports and that Sulzer had the better o situation far the unreported votes con cerned Since it said that Sulzers lead has been in creased about forty.

The Wise Bartender

The man went into a kaif and ordered beer and laid dollar bill on the bar. The bartender gave the man the beer and handed him back $1O5 in change The man glanced hurriendly at the change, showed it into his pocket, gulped down his beer with a red face, and hurried out of the kaif
 Hey" said another man in front of the bar who had noticed the trans tion, don't you know that you gave that fellow dime too much in change?"
 'T do," replied the bartender. "lf I had given him the right change he would have examined it, but thinking that he was doing me out of a dime, he dashed out without looking at the money he received And it was worth a dime to get rid of that lead half dollar I slipped over on him."

The Milch Whale.
Thrift Magazine.)

An official of the State Agricultural Department of Oregon recommends the cultivation of the whale for milking purposes Enough whales could be raised right in Puget Sound, he says to supply the United States with all the milk she needs. The female whale is generous creature, and gives barrel of the lacteal fluid at one milking
 This is a timely suggestion. but why keep all the whales in Puget Sound? Would not such a plan be selfish, sordid and monopolistic? If going to be truly democratic in this country let's be so in the matter Of whales. Let every farmer keep his own whale. What would be more inspiring than to see the happy husbandman arise, while the King of Day was still lurking bashfuy behind the horizon grab the family milch barrel and hurry out behind the barn to give old Fossie. the family whale, her morning milkn'! In the spring. when the little whalelets begin to show up think of the gross an- nual output of poetry that would be inspired in the breasts of our lterati. It would be rank and in- famous injustice to let Puget Sound have monopoly of the national supply of dairy whales
