With the enormous taxes laid upon
Germany and Austria because OF In

will leave those two countries just a.

NUTS

Among those who are fondest OF
nuts are elephants, baseball fans and
squirrels. | have often wondered why
an animal as expansive as the ele-
plant should pick on the poor little
peanut when here isn't a kind word
in a ton of them.
And consider what a darn fool the
squirrel is. Here he spends all his
Elife filing his teeth on hard boiled
nuts when he could be sinking his
face into such soft pleasant eats as
peas, soup cheese and mashed
potatoes. There amt no sense in the
critters.
After nature had finished making
the nut she patted herself on the
back and said: well, there is the
nuttiest thing can think Of" Then
man went ahead and showed her up
scandalously by inventing athe nut
sundae and peanut butter.

MURDER OF AN OLD TREE.

The tree in the road" mile and a
half west of Hartford has been cut
down to clear the way for the new
concrete road. This maple tree, sup
posed to be more than 100 years old,
was the most famous and most cher
ished landmark of the region. Stand
ing in the middle of the road on the
crest of a hill, it had from the time
of the oldest inhabitant been used
as a point from which all distances
were measured. In giving directions
a place was always said to be certain

ton. Sentence has been deferred until
Sept. IS, so as to permit the prepara-
ton of court records on a motion for
a new trial. but the court OF first
instance has done its duty. TINS court
sat in Jackson, Mimi, a state when
has file record for its refusal to
tolerate men who masked their pro-
Germanism under pretended solicitude
for farmers, laborers, or the cause OF
peace.
In fact, the whole west has this
honorable distinction. The wall of
sham which seditionaries erect before
their plain intent is the same in the
west as in the east, but with what diff
ferent results do they erect it,. The
western jury is made up of men who
see straight through the pretenses
and excuses into the ugly purpose
that lies behind. Apparently all that
a seditionary arraigned before an
eastern court has to do is to plead
that his heart is in the right place
and that he merely wanted to ad-
vance the cause of universal peace.
The worst he usually gets is a dis
agreement of the jury. In the west,
as in the east, the indicted seditionary
alleges that he is being prosecuted be-
cause he is a socialist, or friend OF
the farmer or an opponent of the ad-
ministration. The only difference is
that the western jury looks only at
the acts he committed and the words
he spoke. 1t judges them; if it finds
them to be seditious, it convicts him,
Some uneasy souls have been per-
turbed lest the un-American organiza-
ton known as the Nonpartisan league
should spread from North Dakota
through the neighboring states. This
Minnesota verdict does not favor such
a view, unless the league should
materially change its program so as
to bring it more in harmony with the
American spirit 1t comes at a time,
too. when the leagues vote is falling
toward the vanishing point in North
Dakota itself, and when a large fac
ton in the league is in revolt against

EXPLAINS CAUSE OF MY0PIA
Physician Asserts 1t Is Caused by OBJ
struction of Outflow of Lymph,
Due to Muscular Effort.

The assumption that close applica-
ton is the cause Of myopia or near
sightedness is not regarded as a sat-
isfactory explanation. In recent num-
Der of the Lancet the theory is advo-
Gated by DR.. Ethridge Green that the
primary and essential cause is an OBJ
struction of the outflow of the lymph.
The obstruction may be produced by
severe muscular effort, such as lifting
heavy weights, when feeling of ten

which appear, in extreme cases, to

more especially the cause of progress

those engaged in sedentary occupa-
lions the form Of exercise taken may
be responsible, as, wrestling, rowing,
digging and also coughing. Thus when
signs of commencing myopia appear
anything likely to increase the intraoc-
ular tension should be avoided. There

Houses Of Presidents.

In connection with the efforts to re-
store the birthplace of Theodore Roose-
welt, at % East Twentieth street, New
York, it is recalled that an attempt
was made several years ago to acquire
the old house in which President
James Monroe died. The project never
got beyond the placing in 1905 of a
memorial tablet on the house.
The old house, one Of the archaic
structures in the city, and much the
worse through years Of neglect, is on
the northwest corner Of Lafayette and
Prince streets. For years the lower
portion was used as junk shop. 1t
still presents the characteristics of the
well-to-do residence during the early
part Of the last century-three stories
high, with dormer windows protruding
from the attic. The house was built
by Samuel l.. Gouverneur, who mar
ried one Of Monroe's daughters.

The creen-Eyed Monster.

Europe's growing jealousy of Amer
lea is revealing itself more plainly
every day. Even France is not i'm
mune from the propaganda Of the
green-eyed monster, for LIE Matin, one
of the largest and most influential of
Paris newspapers, has come forward
with the assertion that the jazz band
idea did not originate in the United
States, but that French cats were
trained to emit the same kind Of dis
cords more than a century ago. We
expect to be informed next that the
Declaration of Independence was
copied from a French almanac, and
that Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettys-
burg Grafton won second prize at a
French high school commencement in
the era of Louis XIV.

PROPERLY PROUD OF HOTEL
Citizens Of Alexandria, la, Have
Right to Boast of Their Mag

Alexandria, La, is known through
out the South as the little town with
the big hotel. Strangers always re-
mark the incongruity of the metropol-
itan edif1ce apparently fallen by acct
dent into this quiet little place.
II seems that In Alexandria's ante
hotel days, wealthy man. and his
small dog were stopping at the town
inn. One day the innkeeper and guest
had lively argument over the dog. Its
owner replied that he and his dog
would not be among those present at
the inn in the future and departed
proudly, intimating darkly that the
innkeeper would be sorry. He then
made good his threat by building
hotel such as Alexandria had never
dreamed of seeing, and here dog and
master took up their residence and
gathered to themselves all the tran
silent trade Of the town.
Alexandria wears its hotel proudly,

There cannot be any war in the

The treaty will prepare the way for
