The Fog,

The sad sea woman
In gray chiffon
Creeps up DER the rocks,
And on. and on,
Seeking for one
Whom she loved and lost;
Some lover of hers,
Some old sea ghost,
She looks in the gardens
And over the wall.
On hill and coppice
Her garments fall.
She circles the trees
And the houses old;
1t seems the world
She would enfold.
Up, up. she goes.
Yet ever higher,
Till her wells entangle
The tallest spire.
Vainiy, forever.
She seeks her love,
In the cities of earth
And the clouds above
Till, weary and weeping and worn with
pain,
she slips back into the sea again

Time To Cry Quits.

Not long ago, the story runs, a
travelling salesman visited a certain
small town and sold the proprietor
its general store an order of jewelry.
When the jewelry arrived, it was not
as represented, and the merchant con-
sequently returned it. But the whol
sale house, nevertheless, attempted t.
collect the bill, and drew a slight draft
on the merchant through the local
bank, which returned the draft Union
ored.
The wholesalers then wrote 10 the
postmaster, inquiring about the
financial standing of the merchant,
and the postmaster replied laconically
that it was o. K.
BY return mail the wholesalers re-
quested him to 'hand the inclosed &C.
count to the leading lawyer" of the
place for collection.
This is the reply that they received
The undersigned is the merchan

your worthless goods The under
signed is president and owner of the
bank to which you sent your sight

Undersigned is the lawyer whose SER

nefarious business. If the under.
signed were not also the pastor of the

To Take Care OF lob and Quit

Conversation Feet Shows Great Ad-
Vantaaes Of Little Hardship That
Increases Mans Appreciation
Of His Privileges.

Don't hurry away. Bud; sit down
and talk; that's the popular recreation
nowadays" said Leonard v. Whenne.
the village philosopher. to the inter
ested listener, Glenn NJ. Farley writes
In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I'VE
have progressed so fast and so far In
the last two or three decades, and ar
rived at such a complicated and finely
organized system OF civilization, that
we are practically tied up in a web
OF our own weaving; the war has
thrown us into confusion, so the world
has called square mans meeting, and
We are trying to talk ourselves out OF
II. Everybody has remedy for re-
pairing the system. and we are all
the resultant chorus is something to
make angels weep"
"Three-a-day. a place to sleep and n
little amusement Is all l want OF it,"
said the Interested Listener. What
are they arguing about? My idea
would be for the whole gang to stop
talking and 90 to work"

the other day2" said Whenne. HE
was washed ashore, with a barrel Of
port wine, monograph and box Of
soda crackers. and. by gum, he fought
the rescuing party. They had to hand
cuff him and carry him aboard ship.
He was in favor OF the simple life, but

Man wants but little here below, but
he makes an awful fuss about getting

II know" said the Listener "Our
lsndlady gave us ten thousand enraged
words at the breakfast table because
the phone was out of order, the butch
er's boy was late with the meat and
the electric lights were short cir
cuited."
The more people get" said Whenne,
the more they want. and the harder
they are to please. Things have come
so easy they have lost their appetite.
A little hardship Is a good thing once
In a while, IL for nothing more than
to increase a mans appreciation of his
privileges. Everything Is relative; sun.

guy who gets up from a sick bed, and
even ham sandwich is blessed priv

lea, full Of food and comfort to the
neck. standing around and wondering
what Is the matter. and listening to
the orators Of discomfort. In hard
times all people pray for is q job, and
In good times they get purse proud and
want an endowment. Probably the AL.
mighty sends us into tough going to
make US appreciate our good fortune
when 1t comes"
We'll, l get my little lesson between

and optimism that spill over"
THAT is what the world has vet to

Aren Fiber.

IL seems probable, says the Board
or Trade Journal, that a considerable
trade may develop in the Netherlands
last Indies in the preparation and
export of aren fiber. which Is OBJ
tanned from the fibrous mass found on
the leaf sheaths of the aren palm
tArenga saccharifera LabilD after the
fall OF the old leaf stem. The material
can be cut from the stem In strips,
and Is used by the natives for thatch-
Ing. ropes and small. stiff brooms. and
also as binding material In native
house construction and canoes. There
Is also a European demand for aren
hber, arising from Its great resistance
to water. which makes the fiber mark.
edly suitable for covering submarine
cables. Aren tibcr does not appear to
be utilizaOle in the paper Industry.

Everywhere Mrs. Agnes Ready, OF
Chicago, went in her long, weary
trudge for an apartment she was told
the same cruel story. Pekinese,
Japanese, spaniels, elbows, canaries
and even pedigreed cats, these would
be welcomed, but not her babies,
Albert, 3 years old, and John ~.
Discouraged and melancholy, Mrs.
Ready kissed her two children, enter
ed the bathroom, locked the door and
then shot herself through the temple.
When the father came home he
found Albert and John playing in front
of the bathroom door
shes in there" said Albert.
"She's kissed us goodby, and said I'm
going on long journey"
Mr.. Ready forced the door and found
his wife dead.
"We had received notice to remove
from this apartment May l." explain
ed Mr.. Ready, because a member of
the owners family is to occupy it.
My work as building contractor pre-
vented me from looking for another
apartment, but Mrs. Ready has been
looking every day since March I. Mo-
ney was no object with us. But
seemed she could not find an apart
ment where children were allowed.
She became discouraged and ther
acutely melancholic. Our youngest
baby died four weeks ago. She be.
came obsessed with the fear that W
would be forced to live in a tent or in
such fashion that would impair the
children's health"

BRITAIN REJECTS CUT
IN EXCESS PROFITS TAX
Chancellor Promises Reduction to
40 Per Cent Will Be MadesNext
Year by Government:

LONDON. July IL (by the Associated
Press).-The house of commons to-
night rejected by vote of to III
an amendment to a bill providing for
the reduction of the excess profits
duty to 40 per cent.
A strong attack was made in the
house of commons today on Che gov
ernment's financial policy. especially
the excess profits tax. The discussion
came up over the finance bill
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor OF
the exchequer. replying to cliticisms
declined to reduce the excess profits
duty below 60 per cent, as provided In
the budget but he promised lat next
year the duty would not exce,Sd 40 per
cent.
The chancellor also undertook that
there should be no more borrowing
but said that the nation should begin
while it was prosperous to ihake an
earnest endeavor to reduce the debt
He was glad to say that on the gov
ernment's advice the banks were
showing more caution in advancing
credits for speculative purposes.
