Grown people are not the only ones Who have to make choice, for carly in life the power to choose is developed. 1 might get preachy and say that after all our happiness depends on our selective ability. I remember that one Of the most rnomentous things | ever had to decide was to show my prefer cnce in regard to a balloon.---No artist ever studied color more agonizingly no woman ever was called upon to pronounced upon the shade of her dress, no young man ever fingered so lovingly over the picking cut of q suitable tie. as I did on the fairgrounds when 1t was up to me to take either a blue. green or red balloon. l took red one; and to this day l am partial to red; not Titan red. but just plain, old everyday negro red.
 Gone are those happy days, but the time came when have relieved them through my own little ones. I can re- call the joy of my namesake over. the first balloon l put into his childish fingers, and for years there was no toy which gave him such pleasure. And then came along Proctor. and he. too, had love for them. But the sad part, we grow up and then our chill dren grow up. but we need not despair for if we only wait long enough. God will bless us with grandchildren. l hope to live to be able to put a balloon into the hands of 8 grandchild.

MADAM HICHBROW TALKS
ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS
ADMoNIsHEs MATE TO Elk
ERCISE PATIENCE.
Every Drop of Blood in Our
President Is Red, White
and Blue,

Oh, Mr.. Nayborly. I'm so glad TO
hear you say so. Now you can help
me to dissuade Wood, here, that the
treaty of peace and the league of ma
fions are Siamese twins whose Cor
dian knot none ever should sever. Al
though the naughty man has always
claimed TO be open TO conviction, vet
my most profuse strairs OF unpre-
meditated arguments have been pow
erless to convict him.
Now. Wood. give strict heed 10 Mr..
Nayborly, But first let me tell you,
Mr. Nayborly, that this obstinate
mate OF mine was once strong for the
league. Yes, indeed But his elapse
from grace began last week, the
night OF Vice. President Taft's lee
ture. In the first place, we were late.

Wood, deny the soft impeachment!

Nayborly. 1t was his own fault, 1t
was, really.
You see, he administered an over
dose OF talcum to his face that eve
ming and sneezed so unanimously

to beat his back vigorously for a
moving quarter OF an hour before he
coughed 1t up. Then, when he finally
got started. he had to go back for the
umbrella, because. as usual. he was
to dumb forgetfulness prey.
As the heat of the flame of his dis
temper kept rising I implored him to
sprinkle cool patience on 1t, so that

and the Sin Finers are twisting John
Bull by the horns.
But that's all the more reason, l
tell Wood, why we need the league,
so we can cling to dear old England
in her hour of peril and she can re-
taliate by helping us when Gen. Ca
denza and his tortillas down there in
Mexico get on the warpath.
We should be close friends of Eng

think of the everlasting debt of graft

unrefined. Besides / reprove OF
laughter; II aids digestion. Isn't IL
astonishing when you come TO think
about It, that at seventy Ave n man
has eaten fifteen hundred times his
weight?
Then, as ! was telling Wood this
ought to depreciate and enjoy laugh
ter wherever found. because the an
tique Democrltis who founded the
party laughed all the time, although
his sole nourishment was the smell
Of hot bread. Then, too, there's some
thing classic about IL. Don't you re-
call Homeric laughter? Don't you re-
member that Jupiter himself laughed
for seven days and nights? And. be-
sides, say ], what's the use OF al
ways weeping like Jere--or was II

unless 1t might be a plumber. And
didn't he make the casus belllcum of
the war plain? Germany knocked
down Belgium on her way to whip
England because a Serbian shot at
the king of Austria. Simple, isn't Il ?
There's one thing, though, upon
which Wood and are anonymously
agreed, and that is that Germany
ought to be treated with the utmost |
rigor mortis. and be made to sign the |
treaty sine die at once. As Lady |
Macbeth said to her husband when |
she told him to kill Bunco with his |
trusty shoulder blade, 'If 1t were |
done when IL was done, then II were |
well done II 1t was done quick" And |
instead of small punitive damages, all |
those rich Guten Morgans over there
ought to have to give up every pump
