MERELY PIECE OF POOLING
Course Taken by Germany Resembles
Closely Neat Trick That Is
Credited to Sheridan,

"The Germans, by fooling us with
German bolshevism, hoped to escape
the payment of war indemnities," said
congressman.
1T reminds me of story about
Sheridan, the spendthrift playwright
counter, the confectionery left his
statement with Sheridan one morning,
and a few hours later Hanson, the
irOnmonger, called.
"Hanson was very pressing on the
subject of his account. He harangued
and he harangued. Sheridan, broke,
as usual, paced the floor in despair.
''But suddenly an idea struck the
spendthrift and he said:

"'One of the safest men in Lon

LOOKED LIKE LABOR WASTED
Boards Visit Over, Small Boy Couldn't

Much Soap antd Water.

He was new little boy at the Or
phanage and was much impressed BY
all the scrubbing and cleaning he saw
done there, more SO because he had
come from a home in which disorder
and dirt had held sway. He could
not understand it; more than that,
it irritated him, and when he got the
job of scrubbing the dining-room steps
he was almost ready to leave.
But just then came a new excite
ment to the home. The board was
coming to make its annual tour Of in
spection, and the cleaning was dou-
bled. "Get ready for the board" was
the home watchwOrd, it seemed, and
he, being very human, decided to stay
until that big event was over.
The day of visiting came and passed.
The next morning the new youngster
sought the matron. "Now that them

instantly it stops aching, then you lift
that bothersome corn right of. Yes,

every hard corn, soft corn, or corn
