BOY BLUE
~ EL,zAsGrH oRovEsruIN.

When Jerry Stanton was q very 1t
tie fellow he had been called Little
Boy Blue" by his fond parents. Now
the term as applied to him had big
ger and broader meaning. for the only
son Of the proud Mr.. stanton was q
sailor boy In blue.
Indeed. Jerry was lad 70 be proud
Of, one who would be able to do his
bit for Uncle Sam. But he had one
griesous fault which threatened to be
his downfall. Jerry was conceited.
very. very conceited. Why. It did not
seem to surprise him In the least when
he learned that the sweetest little girl
In the whole wide world had fallen In
love with him. However. the entire
blame should not be placed on Jerry's
shoulders. He was doubtless the spoil
cd pet Of an over-indulsent mother.
Now. to be sure. Louise Gray was
deeply In love with the handsome Stan
ton boy. but she knew be thought too
much Of himself, and II troubled her.
Time and again she would pucker up
her pretty lips. frown and try to think
of some plan TO make her lover see
himself as others saw him.
One warm and lovely summer eve
ming the sailor had come bounding up
the steps OF the Gray homestead. He
rang the bell, knocked at the door and
called her" name. Uselessl No
sound reached his ear, and all was
darkness within. Slowly he rstraced
his steps and began to walk around
the house. As he reached the side
porch he heard voices. and yes. no

laughter. With angry steps and beat

tempt to play savssdroppsr was re-
wafdsd when these words reached his
ears. tom. you're just dear and I
love YOU" These few words. without
any doubt. gave BOY Blue the ''blues."
Jerry gave one last hopeless glance
at the porch above him and then made
his way toward the pond. He thought
he would jump In. but plans for re-
venge caused him to turn around
sharply and start fer home. just then
his foot stumbled over something.
Jerry fell to the earth with q bang a

FOLLOWED PATHS OF PEACE
Aborigines Of Texas Unlike tho Fierce
Tribes Of Other Sections Of
the Country.

Stone implements found in ancient
French. Spanish or American settlers,
prove that the original settlers of this
state were not like the fierce tribes
encountered in modern times by the
white settlers.
Little is known about the aboriginal
population OF Texas, which lies be-
tween the Pueblo and mound builders
area, but Or. J. Walter FewkeS chief
of the American bureau of ethnology,
aided by Professor Peace Of the Uni
versity OF Texas, have located some
long-forgotten village sites. Their in
vestigationS lead to the belief that the
original people of the middle part OF
the state were hunters. while those Of
the eastern part near the timber belt
were followers of agricultural pur-
suits and were skilled In the manufac-
ture of pottery. They resembed the
mound builders. The western part Of
the state was a more elevated and
less arid plateau. Here the people re-
sembled the Pueblos of New Mexico.
Some of the tribes are reported 10
have been cannibalS. In the opening
of the eighteenth century Apachos.
Comanches and other savage tribes
roamed over Texas. following the buff
falo, or raiding across 1t into Mexico.
There seems 10 have been constant
hostility with these Indians, In which
many smaller tribes were extermi-
mated.

male stenographer and Billie runs

governmental purpoSes-in fact for

PASSING THE BUCK

The president would "pass the
buck" He left Washington for France
as soon as congress met in December.
He returned 10 days before the date
of adjournment. He got to Wash
ington with seven working days of the
session left.
He found congress with such con-
gestion. Of legislation as had never
been equaled. He brought back the
problem Of the league of nations con-
stitution to throw in the hopper and
add to this congestion.
Congress was in complete control of
his own party. It controlled every
committee. It, had good working
majority in both houses and all the
machinery. The revenue measure
carrying $4,000, 100000 in taxation
had been passed. This would in for
mer years, have been considered in it.
self a good record for a short ses-
sion.
But there were piled up financial
bills totaling $1l, 900, 100000. Most
Of these had been in the senate but a
few days; some got there after his
arrival. To pass them all was hui
manly impossible unless merely run
through with a rubber stamp and
with no consideration whatever.
The senate did pass the $7,OO0,O00,-
600 loan bill with many Objectionable
features. 1t passed the 81 ,000, 100000
measure to make good the wheat
price for this years crop. 1t passed
the rivers and harbor's bill.
But others fell by the wayside.
There was not time to so much as
rubber stamp them, even if Senator
Sherman had not made an inexcusable
four hours speech. 1t was admitted
a week ago that all of them could not
pass.
Yet the president determined to re-
turn to France at once, blames it all
on another group Of willful men,"
whom he charges with having "delib-
erately chosen to embarrass the ad-
ministration." He says he cannot call
an extra session, because he will not
be in Washington. He was there for
less than 10 days of this last session.
Is it possible that there is not one
in all the United States-Democrat or
experimentation he could trust to
save Europe? The Constitution
makes it his sworn duty to first of all
protect the United States. He can
only divide his "buck" between him
self and his party in. congress.

Darling, am coming back,
Silver threads among the black
Now that peace in Europe nears
I'll be home in seven years.
I'll drop in on you some night
With my whiskers long and white.
Yes, the war is over, dear,
And we're going home, l hear.
Home again with you, once more,
Say by nineteen twenty-four;
Once l though by now I'd be
Sailing back across the sea-
Back to where you sit and pine
But I'm stuck here on the Rhine.
You can hear the gang all curse,
War is hell, but peace is worse. n

In the front lines I'll be found.
I'll rush in again, pell-men-
Yes l will-like hell, like hell.
