When President Wise Guy was con : fronted with a huge national debt, larger by far than anything the Re public of Squeedunk had ever faced he called for his Minister of the Purse
 What are we going to do?' he de- handed. Then he elucidated. we owe a hundred million ducats. And We can only raise 5000 a year.
 We will raise more,'' replied the Minister of the Purse.
 How in sam hill can we raise more when we're taxing the people now all they can pay"
 Easy enough replied the minister He was smart financier.
 ''All right" urged the president shoot. Give us an earful of how you're going to draw blood out of a turnip'
 wen water every mans pay en- velope."
 You'll what?"
 We'll double every persons wages Then we can double the tax. That'll bring in D 16.000 a year
 But the storekeepers will have to increase their prices?" objected the president
 Sure" smiled the minister. 'sThen we'll double the wages again, and tha. will enable us to double the taxes, CT D 32,000 per annum"
 But even at D 32 900 a year it won: be enough to pay the interest on the national debt.
 T understand" replied the minister ''But we merely start the ball rolling Each time wages are increased we double tht taxes and storekeepers will double prices, which will make neces- Sary another increase in wages, which will permit increased taxation. which will compel another raise in wages again giving us chance to boost taxes and by the time this has gone on a lowest about D 200 week, and the national treasury will rake in millions of ducats easily every year outside of the regular national expenses. In 10 years, maybe less. the national debt will be paid
 And think of the dandy time every body will have when everybody's get ting stoop pshouldered carrying home his pay envelope"
 There's only one flaw in the theory above set forth. Nobody would get stoop- -shouldered carrying home his own pay envelope. Somebody else would be taking it away from him be- fore he had gone very far. Outside of that it looks pretty good. So the President and the Minister of the Public Purse turned that part ot the job over to the Minister of Justice who has to see to it that the sellers don't charge any more than wage in- creases make necessary, which re minds us of the story they tell or Mitch. Palmer, our promising atty gen.

there Is no such hand.
1t is bad to rock the baby, they would
have us understand.
So the cradles but relic of the former
foolish days,
When they jounced them, and they
bounced them, those poor dwarfs of
long ago,
The washingtons and Jeffersons and Ad-
amses, you know.
They warn us that the baby will possess
a muddled brain
II we dandle him or rock him; we must
carefully refrain;
He must lie In one position, never swayed
or never swung,
Or his chance to grow to greatness will be
blasted while he's young.
All, to think how they were ruined by
their mothers long ago,
The Franklins and the Putnams and the
Hamiltons. you know.
We must feed the baby only by the sched-
ule that is made
And the food that he is given must be
measured out and weighed.
He may below to inform us that he isn't
satisfied,
But he couldn't grow to greatness II his
wants were all supplied;
Think how foolish nursing stunted those
poor weaklings long ago.
The Shakespeares and the Luthers and
the Bonapartes, you know.
We are given a great mission, we are
here, today on earth
To bring forth a race of giants and to
guard them from their birth,
To insist upon their freedom from the
rocking that was bad
For our parents and their parents. scram-
bling all the brains they had.
All! had they been fed by schedule, would
they have been stunted So

Physician Declares Colors
Have Influence on Nerves

A New York physician who gives
more credit to nature than he takes for
himself in the cures he has wrought Is
a great believer In the effect of colors
on the human race. Nature is the
best teacher in these things, he says.
You will find in your surroundings in
the country no black and very little
red. Blue and yellow are combined In
the restful, reviving green. There is
no doubt, the doctor contends, that the
wearing of black has an evil effect on
both health and spirits. 1t is the color
of Saturn, the planet Of gloom, misfor-
tune, fatality and other evil things.
If one wishes to be happy and bril-
liant blue is the color to wear. The
doctor says that the spirit of evil hates
blue intensely and flies at the sight of
IL. Blue also Gains the nerves and
therefore II is good color for room
decorations,

Beavers Most Marvellous
Accomplishment, Building
of Dams to Retain Water

And now we come to the most mar
ments-the feat of building dam, and
we shall understand point which has
possibly puzzled many of us, and that
Is the reason for building this DAM"
says Raymond l.. Ditmars In Boys
Life, In the course of an article on
animal Engineers"
"Work on the dam is now In order,
and this means additional clearings, as
a great amount of timber Is necessary.
The banks Of the stream begin to show
quite an open character, as the sap
lings fall, are cut up and the sections
towed to the site1of the dam.
During this work another interest
ing characteristic of the beaver is dis
nation of waste. It's favorite food Is
green bark and this Is easily obtained.
Many branches are stripped by the
broad incisor teeth and for a time
these lie in confusion along the banks
but not for long. The foundation Of
the dam rises In much the same fash
ion as that of the beavers house Of
tooth-hewn timber and once the out
line Is established there is a general
cleanup on shore. Sticks that have
been gnawed free of bark are simply
carted to the water and turned loose
as is much other debris In the shape
of fine, loose brush, left over from the
larger cutting. This material floats
downstream and lodges against the
framework of the dam, where 1t is
worked into the crevices, and is fol-
lowed by water-soaked materials,
much mud and wet leaves from the
stream bottom. The dam is soon eff
fective and the stream begins to rise.
The beavers now work at the base of
the dam, making it broader by packing
it with mud and producing the same
foundation of generous breadth at the
bottom with an inward curve toward
the top that we note In the most APP
proved feats of human engineering in
retaining and raising bodies of wa
ter"

Great Musicians of India
Care Not for Worldly Things

To the Hindu, music like sculpture
and painting, Is sacred art. Music
originated from silva, one of the Hindu
Trinity, and Saraswati is the goddess
of music end of learning In general. As
people look upon music as something
sacred, so II has become a highly spe-
cialized art. Amateur musicians are
not much encouraged. The public
seem to say, do 1t well or don't do
it at all; don't play false with music !;
il is too sacred for light treatment"
The great musicians of India are gen
orally ascetics. They care not for
name. fame or wealth. They live a life
Of comparative poverty. The Hindu is
of the opinion that voluptuous or
luxury-loving person cannot be a
great musician.
