TOLD GOOD JOKE ON HIMSELF
Lincoln Appreciated Humor in Remark
Made by Exceedingly Frank,
! outspoken Lady.

When Mr.. Lincoln was presented
by the POSTMASTER Of banquet of
Illinois editors in 1856, he began with
an apology for his presence, speaking
iof himself as an interlOper. and then
he said he was reminded Of ar Incl
dent. He did not say that he was
giving a personal experience Of his
own, but the editors surmsed as much
and were greatly amused.
Mr.. Lincoln said that the man OF
whom he was speaking possessed feat
,ures which the ladies could not call
handsome This man, while riding
through the woods. met lady on
horseback. He turned out Of the path
and waited for her to pass. She
stopped and looked at the man few
moments. Then she said:
"Well for land sake, you are the
'71omeliest man I ever saw"
Eyes, madame" the man replied
*but I can't help it,"
"No, I suppose not" the lady said
shut you might. stay at home"

NEXT WAR TO BE IN CLOUDS
viii Undoubtedly Be Fought. Accord.
ing to Experts, on the "Ceilin9 d.
Of the Earth"

Air experts say the next war will
be fought on "the ceiling Of the
earth," and. in the saying: they give
us a new expression. They fix the
limit of altitude at $4,000 feet,
thereby establishing the height OF
the ceiling above the ground.
There is no reason to doubt the
statement of the aviators. Indeed,
military men generally express the
belief that, the next war will be
fought largely in the air. The ma
ton that dominates the air in the
beginning of the struggle will be the
victor, they say, just as it used to
be the case that the nation which
dominated the sea was the victor.
:: But, this ceiling Of the earth
What a picturesque expression
These airmen crawling over the cell
ing of the earth as flies used to crawl
upon the ceiling of the home before
the advent Of the screens. That is
exactly what they are ike-tiny in
secst far above their. abode on the
earth, twisting and turning in the
air, swooping through and sweeping
above the clouds,
Up there, out of sight from be-
low; where all is eternal blue, there
is where, the next war will be fought.
But let us believe that the genera
ton now anchored to the ground
will have passed away, and its i'm
mediate successors succumbed to old
age, before the feeling Of the earth"
is splattered up with human wreck
age.

WHY -
Statistics Are Unsafe Guide
to Conclusions
to CONCLUSIONS

Statistics, though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example, it is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
number Of prison cOmmi tmeits among
the foreign-bOrn population. OF the
United States, but it would be most
unsafe to base any cancellations
upon them, for the number Of commit
ments to prison is no indication OF
the number of crimes committed, and
there are many more criminals at large
than behind the bars.
Those in prison were not clever
enough to escape. They got caught.
Those at large were able to commit
their crimes and elude detection
British statistics show that in only
Is per cent of the indictable Offenses
that are committed is the perpetrator
convicted.
The figures for America are probably
not very different. Therefore s. per
cent Of the criminals are at large. 1t
is fair to assume that this 81 per
cent is more intelligent than the Is
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the Is per cent for which the statis-
tics are given is highly selected
group, and any conclusions based upon
such statistics are untrustworthy, as
applied to criminals in general, how
ever valuable they may be as to the
comparatively small number that are
in Jail.
