 But Miss Dean. with her wedding gown across her sho IIders. orange blossoms in her hair and the usual tears Tn her eyes. called down the stairs and told him to go the way he came.
 Was Shy On Love r T don't love him. I never would love him and he doesn't love me- she walled to her rather peeved mother.
 Miss Hinton telephoned Hoffman at his hotel at o'clock the following morning.
 "If you're not l.rried yet, IT, wait in the lobby" she said.
 Hoffman and his bride be sat in the lobby until the county auditors of flee opened two hours later. The Rev Warner wouldn't marry them for an- other hour.
 The o'clock court house chimes were the Hoffman wedding bells
 All Are Satisfied

 T wanted a home and sensible hus- band and I got them says Mrs. Hoff- man.
 Marriage is what yoa make it." Hoffman thinks. We'll learn to love each other Miss Dean wouldn't do be- cause she didn't take things seriously too romantic. Anyway-we've got the money"

WHY FOUNTAIN HAS
 LIONS MOUTH
New York Sun

New York Sun)
 The water in a great many public fountains, whether for man or beast. cemes out of a lions mouth. This is said to be the reason:
 Among the ancient Egyptians the ris- ing of the waters of the River Nile was the most important event of the year. since it meant life and prosperity to the whole nation. The rising always took place when the sun was in the constel- lation of Leo, or the lion; so the Egyp- tians adopted the shape of d lion as the symbol for the life giving waters of the Nile.

cTvUHATInN ENDANGERED

Signs multiply that a large part Of Europe IS trembling on
the abyss Of a relapse TO barbarism. Civilization itself is threat
ened. Society Is dsintegrating. Misery, famine and crime stalk
the land. The situation is similar to that following the collapse
of the Roman Empire which ushered in the dark a~ges.though per
haps a better parallel is afforded by the chaos ruling central
Europe following the thirty years war.
Civil war is raging over large districts. Outlaw bands, con-
tinuously recruited in numbers from the starving population. are
ravishing and piIaging. Epidemics Of typhus increase the misery.
Weak governments are created overnight and fall with the set
ting sun, unable with seanty resources. to cope with the situation.
IdlenesS increases as industry ~diminiSheS. Strange fantastic
theories fail in securing relief, anad the safeguards Of law and
order are slipping into the discard
Correspondents paint a gloomy picture about Berlin, Vienna
and other cities. Overlooking with idle from the industrial regions,
of halfclad and sandaLshOd people are living in
thatehed houses built OF unbaked mud and clay, which are being
built throughout the country. With the return to the covenants
abode has come the caveman's apparel and the covenants morals
and manners. Churches are deserted. Rudeness replaces cour-
tesy. and everywhere is the stamp Of decadenee.
Contrasting with such scenes of abject misery are the reves
and orgies of the rich, who have plunged into a debauch Of mad
dest reyeIry. Excuses Of all kinds are given free rein in the pur-
suit Of pleasure in the larger cities. Speculation governs the bust
ness martS, and productive industry is forgotten in the fever Of
stock gambling. The only new enterprises are wine houses,
dancing parors and show places, which are nightly thronged by
gay jewellers. This also, is reminiscent Of decaying Rome.
Social life is disiHtegrating and completely demoraized. The
divorces have multiplied tenfod and marriages fallen off, both
are regarded as unnecessary relics of "od fogy forms Of anti-bel
lum days" The aim Of the socialist state Is the abolition OF the
marriage ceremony and the extermiation of religion as hindrances
to the complete freedom"
When the tide Of war began to turn against Germany, cor.
say the Germans declared that if Germany lost, they
would no longer believe in God-and it would seem, with their
empty churches, the life of frivoity mingled with misery, as if
they had lived up to their threat. for Germany is a goddess place
now and consequently Godforgotten.
Similar conditions exist in all the war ravaged lands. If civ
ihzation slips in Europe, it will pull America after it. 1t is mani
fest that America must hold out the helping hand, must cooper
ate in saving the world. That America refrains from doing her
share is due to the criminal partisan folly of the United States
senate, which is as morally responsible for the growing anarchy
of Europe as the Kaiser was morally responsible for mlitarism
and the war.

Ripping Rhymes
IN GERMANY.

In Germany all things are mixed, and nothings settled, moth
ings fixed. One government has quite a boom, and then it jour
Ineys up the flume; another comes, and it may bust, and leave
behind a cloud Of dust. And old Elk Bill, he sits and blinks, and
many kinds of thoughts he thinks. They can't cut ice without
"a throne" he signs, as he sits there alone; they talk republics
and the like; ~republicsl For the love of Mike! That sort of stuff is
purely rot; they'll have to send for Me ud Colt" Of course
you'll say his thoughts are vain, that he is neither safe nor sane,
that Germans wouldn't dare to place this relic of a ~bughouse race
upon the throne we overset, but wait a while, already yet. It's
sure, when all is said and done, we cannot trust the tricky Hun.
He'd do the thing we least expect, although the universe be
wrecked, if thereby he could jar the foes who lately led him by
the nose. And Germans want old things again, the throne, the
crown, and war lord men. And so the dreams OF old Elk Bill are
not so wild, already still.
