HONORS.

Wear them simply, gentlemen! Wea,
the laurel and the bay
Not as signs of pomp and pride, or az
jewels for display;
Lend no boastful tongue to them-ht
who does the best he can,
Though men fail to honor MIN, passes
by no less a man.
You who know the smiles Of fame and
are favored by the throng,
Take what rAcn are pleased to give;
honors fall where they belong.
But they tarnish an dthey fade and
the glory in them dies
When men faunt them vulgarly be-
fore their fellow-wcrkers' eyes.
Honors do not change the man
they're but raiment to be worn /;
Kings, with all their pomp and pride,
may still be creatures fit for
scorn.
We're you gentle? Were you kind?
Now has honor come your way?
You have not been changed one bit
you should still be kind today.
Wear the msimply gentlemen! Prize
your medals if you will,
Take what men are pleased to give,
but be meek and humble still.
Lend no boastful tongue to fame;
this was true since life began
He who has no crown to wear, still
may be a noble man.

ALL ACCOUNTED FOR

One morning a woman walked into
village grocery store with males
tic stride. 1t was easy to see by the
sternness of her expression that she
was somewhat disturbed.
"This," she sarcastically explain
ed, throwing a package on the coun-
ter, "is the washing itself. It's the
soap that makes washing pleasure,
It's the soap"
''That isn'e soap, madam" inter-
rupted the groceryman, examining
the package. "Your little girl was
in here yesterday for half pound of
cheese and a half pound of soap.
This is the cheese"
"U-m, that accounts for it," said
the woman, as the light of under
standing began to glow. 81 wonder
ed all night what made the Welsh
rarebit we had for supper taste so
queer. San Francisco Argonaut.

Quoted week ago at $21.50, hogs
yesterday had recedeG until $3.50
was the average for packing stock
The low mark was reached when
some grades sold at $15.25. Drovers
predict still further reductions this
week.
Drive Cuts High Prices.
Chicago's drive against high costs
last week, which Federal officials de-
clared bore first fruits. in the reduc-
tions of the last few days consisted
in seizure and sale to the public of
$4,000 pounds of sugar; arrests of
alleged hoarders; decision to estab-
fish department stores for sale of
army foodstuffs and clothing, and
announcement of charges that whole
sale grocers had combined to buy up
army food supplies.
Following the leao or hogs, other
live stock items suffered similar price
slumps. Cattle and sheep, which
overcrowded pens at stockyards in
many cities, sold from So to $4.25
less per 100 pounds than a week ago.
Grains Take Slump.
The general decline was prevalent
on the board of trade, where cash
and future quotations on grains
slumped in sympathy. Trading all
the week was dull, experts said, and
predictions were made of further
drops. .-l.

BY Helen Rowland

My daughter, come not unto me
saying:
"Alas! Why are the things of this
world so unevenly divided; that one
damsel hath seven offers of marriage
in one summer, while another damsel
spendeth seven summers in the snar-
ing of one offer?"
For, 10, in the charming of men,
as in the mixing Of salad or the MAX
ing of rarebit, neither rules nor reci-
pes shall avail thee if thou lacketh the
Sixth Sense" which is the gift of
the angels unto the chosen few.
Now, it so happened that / watch
ed man while he sought to mix the
Perfect Rarebit. And he was ex-
ceedingly cautious.
Behold, he held the Book of Rules
before him and, even as it babe him,
he measured out the cheese and APP
portioned the salt and the paprika,
and the mustard and the butter and
the ale in exact quantities. And at
the psychological moment he stirred
it prayerfully.
And none within the gates dared to
speak to him, nor distract him, lest
he foozle it. For his name was called
"Piod," which is to say, conscientious
in-all-things.
Yet, in the end, the rarebit was
tougher than the heart of meat
packer, and more stringy than war
silk.
But another took hold on the dish
and flung therein pound of this and
a pinch of that and dad of the other,
and lightly shook them together,
while he jollied the damsels and fiirt-
ed with the squads and the widows,
for his name was called Daredevil"
And behold the rarebit was smooth
err than millionaire's abb and more
than the prospectus of a
summer resort or the smile of the
summer girl at sight of New Man.
Likewise, a damsel may be per-
feet thirty-six and possess all the
beauty and wit and virtue of the
Three Graces to delight the heart of
man. Yea, she may have read all
things that ever were written con-
corning the Turing of masculine
hearts and the pleasing of husband.
Yea her days shall be spent at tat
ing bees and knitting clubs and hen
parties and her evenings alone in the
And in the end she may be left
ranging on the family tree, as the
asst leaf of summer.
But another, whose nose resem-
)leth button and whose figure re-
;embleth an ironing board, who know
.th not bon-mot from bonbon, an
sthic from toothache, nor a theory
rom a charlotte russo, shall have
men following after her all the days
If her life, as seagulls after a ship
and moths after lantern. And in
he end she shall wed whatsoever she
,hooseth.
For her ways are mixed like unto
he second rarebit, by INTUITION,
, word here, a smile yonder and a
glance there, so that each man be-
eveth himself st." and is filled with
self admiration.
For such is the power of the Sixth
Sense, which some call "charm" and
some call "tact" and some call Blind
Luck"
And how shall l, mere woman,
ell thee how to acquire it?
For thou must be BORN with it
wen as with curling hair and slender
'eet and a retrousse nose and intelli-
renee.
And could it be cultivated, then
hould | cease preaching and devote
ALL my time to the attainment of the
Sixth Sense.
And the Sphinx should have moth

ITALY NOT PAclFIED

PARIS, May 9.-(By The Associated Press)-The Italian difficulty is as far from settlement as ever. according 10 the French press, which asserts that President Wilson maintains his posi- tion and it is not believed he will de- part from it in the slightest. He has not adhered, it is said, to the proposed compromise by which Italy would ad- minister Plume as mandatory of the league of nations until 1923, after which Plume would revert to Italian sovereignty, the Jugo- -Slavs being giv- en a port a few miles lower down the Adriatic coast.
 The impression in French conference circles is that Italy is temporarily abandoning her claim to Plume. and will exact full execution of the pact of London, which, as it involves not only Dalmatia- but the Dodecanez islands. will raise the whole GreeK problem and similarly complieate the situation.
