LUKE McLUKE SAYS

Most of us get our bad colds
because we close the bedroom
windows so we won't catch cold
Why is it that the man who
wouldn't walk across the room to
kiss his own wife would swim
across a river to get to kiss some
other fellows wife?
Most of us would not be so poor
II we were not so anxious to make
other people think that we are
rich.
We are doggone anxious to
boost man when we find that he
is so far up the ladder that we
can't pull him down.
This would be fine country if
man could settle his bills as
easily as he can settle the League
OF Nations controversy.
A man will use the public comb
in parlor car washroom. But if
his wife uses his comb when he is
at home he wants to fight.
A man doesn't fix his own break
fast because he loves his wife. He
does it because he is mad at her
and isn't on speaking terms.
A professional aviator may fly
higher than an amateur aviator.
But the amateur can hit the
ground just as hard as the pro-
fesSional.
There was. time when a girl
got corns on her fingers from
playing the piano when there was
company in the house. But she
now has daughter who gets
corns on her feet from playing the
piano when there is company in
the house.
1t is hard to say whether it is
safer to marry blonde or a
brunette. A dresser filled with
blonde hair looks about as bad as
one filled with black hair.
1t is good thing Baalam's ass
was born when it was or it would
never have made history. There
are so many talking asses these
days that nobody pays any atten-
tion to them.
1t is shame to say it, but it is
fact that the girl with the low
waist attracts more men than the
girl with the high forehead.

Must Keep CLIMBING.

You can never let down the bars
when you want to become great. The
price Is eternal vigilance. Even when
success Is assured you must keep on
going. Men who become great by
spurts usually sink into insignificance
the same way. Besides making UP
your mind that you are going to sue
ceed. you must see to It that you reaa
ize what's In your mind. Talking
about what you expect to do will never
bring It to pass. The uphill Is always
before you. The only way to reach
the top Is to climb. n you can COM
mand the means that takes you there
II will save your energy for other
things. Usually the energy you de-
velop through the climb will ne useful
in days to come. The climb may tire
you. hut 1t will also make you appre-
ciate the vlew.-Grit.

Way of "Parlor Socialist"

When Philadelphia shall have COM
pleted It's great underground and ele-
waited railway system and also paid
for the immense Delaware front Inn
provements. the city debt per person
will be around 500.
But in some German cities like
Frankfort and Munich, where social
istic ideas ruled before the war, the
municipal debts were over six times
that amount, writes "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Press.
The parlor socialist Is great chap
for devising ways to take money out
of other peoples pockets, but dead
failure at suggesting method of put
ting money in your pocket.
One who worked with and knew him
well tells me favorite remark OF
Mai. Luther Bent was this:
"My board of directors is board
that direct"
We're the veteran major alive today
and operating big plant he would dis
cover that some sort of n commission
rooted in politics would really direct
his directors as well as himself

DEATH RECALLS FAMOUS DUEL
Grandson Of "Dan" O'conneIl Used to
Tell Of "Liberator's" Meeting
With D'Esterre.

Mr.. Daniel O'Connell, grandson OF
the "Liberator," died a few days ago
at his residence, Darrynane abbey, Wa
terville, Ireland, in his eighty-fourth
year. He was magistrate and dep
uty lieutenant for County Kerry. and
served the office of high sheriff In 1850.

Dublin as 'beggarly corporation
D'Esterre, member of the corpora
tion and well-known shot with pis-
tolls. demanded an explanation. which
was refused.
"After consulting his friends, DIES
terre paraded the streets for two days
with the avowed intention Of horse
whipping O'Connell. The two, howev-
er, did not meet, and finally D'Esterre
sent Sir Edward Stanley with mes

O'Connell referred Sir Edward to Ma

give any explanation, whereupon Sir

three that afternoon, at Bishops court.
County Kildare, four or five miles from
Mas, on the road to Dublin, was fixed
for the meeting.
"They met accordingly and fired to-
gether, by signal. D'Esterre's bullet
went wide. O'Connell aimed low, in
tending to hit D'Esterre in the leg, but
actually did so In the groin. The bull
let went through. penetrating the blad-
der. and came out at the back, inflict-
ing n mortal wound. D'Esterre lived
for two days only.
"The pistols used by the Liberator'
were given him by an English officer,
quartered in Dublin. to whom he had
done kindness, and who, when giving
them, said, as proof of their good
ness, that they had already killed ten
men. They are pair of 'Rigby's Par
ticulars,' and Mr.. O'Connell often shot
at n mark with them, and found them
to be very GOOD and accurate.
"D'Esterre's daughter married Lieu
tenant Roberts of the British royal
navy. who commanded the Sirius, the
first vessel to go from Cork to Amer
lea Boston) under her own steam, and
subsequently the President, which was
lost with all on board, on the way
from New York to Liverpool"

Wild Animals In Banff.
Ettry

Although Banff, Alberta, is hustlIng
village during the summer and Is
thronged with tourists, wild deer from
the mountains are to be seen daily on
the streets and at night stately elk
leap from the roads In the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles. II
Banff cOttager expects to eat his own
garden truck" he builds deer-proof
fence around his patch. The grounds
Of Brett hospital are open from the
street ana the other night half-dozen
mule deer made raid upon the flower
garden. Banff Is the capital of Rocky
Mountain park. and shooting game
within the park limits is forbidden by
law. The deer, being unmolested,
have become very tame, and even a
bear now and then pays a friendly
visit to the village. Not long ago a
bicyclist, speeding down one Of the
side streets at night, hit dark object
and turned somersault or two before
he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he
looked around and discovered bear
hitting the trail for home as fast as
four legs could carry him. Although
tame and somewhat obtrusive, the
deer, elk and bear do not relish too
close an acquaintance with man, and
have proved themselves to be not only
picturesque but perfectly safe neigh
bors.

No Shortage of Hides
in Government Report

We are informed by the scrupu-
lously accurate and painstaking
bureau of markets of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, that the Am
erican packers, dealers, importers
and tanners for the month of
October had 40,67S,536 hides and
skins. This is a net increase of
3,30S,55S over September.
Increases were shown in the
holdings of goat skins; also in kip
skins, colt, donkey and pony
skins; also in kangaroo and wall
ably hides; also in sheep, lamb,
and buffalo skins.
AT that time, as we remember
it, packers, dealers, importers
and tanners were insisting that
the high price of shoes, gloves and
other articles made in part or
wholly from skins and hides, was
due to the shortage of skins and
hides.
