The Road Hog

I wonder what the road hog
thinks, as he goes on his way,
detested by all mortal ginks, and
cussed by night and day. He
surely hates the human race, as
down the road he swings, and
in his heart there is no place tor
kindly, friendly things. We
have our little pewter carts, and
we would sing and smile, If
road hogs didn't break our
hearts each quarter of a mile.
The road hog loafs along, alas,
and when we honk our horn, be-
seeching room enough to pass,
he grins with maudlin scorn.
Around the risky curves he flies,
and thinks he's in the swim; the
rules that govern decent guys
have little weight with him.
Some day the fool will break his
neck, but ere that day arrives, a
dozen autos he may wreck, or
spoil a dozen lives. And as |
watch him drive his barge, and
weave and squirt and turn, l
wonder why he is at large, when
there are jails to burn. | won
der why a man is fined ten dol
lars or ten days, for shooting
road hogs and their kind, along
the public ways.

 Should have the time and the Jobke patience needed countless instances o trouble that rise between employer and employee, he would find that in surprising number of cases the dissention is due to the general dissatisac tion of the themselves but to the fomenting efforts of outsider.
 Left to themselves, a group of almost invar- through the only fair and medium arbitration. It is the professional organizer, the paid agitator the so-called walking delegate, who skilfuy plays upon the sympathes of the men, kneads them into a milling crowd and finally prevails upon them to scoff at the quiet measures of the council table. From this attitude it is only step to the lower level Of that primitive form of justice, mob law.
 Most of all to be regretted is that the organizer, sent more often than not from central office of a knows all too little about the local conditions to which the subjected He knows nothing of their needs of those of their employer He is ignorant of the humor of the public, that mighty force, and neither has he adequate knowledge of it's needs. He has founded commercial basis, for his own personal advantage, the art of trouble mak- ing. He is the parent of more misery and hardship than be laid the door of any other single agency.

TO SAVE MARK TWAIN'S HOUSE

The people of Hartford Conn.,. have started a movement for the purchase of the old home of Mark Twain at that place and its perpetuation as me- norialE to the greatly loved American author and humorst The house with its tin roof-put on at the direction of Mark Twain so he could near the rain patter-has been used school for many years but recently it secured by real estate agents who had announced purpose to reconstruct if and make an apartment house of it. The State of Connecticut has given the Mark Twain Memorial Association which has been formed, the right or eminent domain in the premises, so the association cannot be held up the purchase price
 For many years the home of Mark Iwaln mas shared honors with the Connecticut State House as a principal attraction in the Nutmeg State capital. Of course is aroused over the proposed de- struction Then Hartford, which knew him as a great soued and ovable citizen for so many years, as the rest of the country holds the memory of the great writer in sacred reverence.
 The movement is timely. No American of let ters has done to enrich our literature than Mark Twain. He would be entitled to our ever lasting gratitude if he had done no more than to create aIuck Finn and Tom Sawyer, both ot whom were born his pen in the house 1t is proposed to save from sordid purpose of the Hartford real agents.
 The managing editor of the Hartford Courant has been designated as of the Association, and all the public libraries of the Nation have been designated as agents to raise money for the pur- pose.

 A man can buy a new hat in two minutes. But it takes woman two days to do the same thing.
 The man who gets married on the thirteenth of the month always has something to blame it on.
 There would be a lot more con tented women in this world if they had as much hair on their head as they have on their faces. When woman engages in a man. | hunt she can make a bloodhound
 look like hunk of cheese. Another thing we can't understand
 is how the same amount of clothes
 that will keep a woman cool in Sum-
 mer will keep her warm in Winter. What has become of the o. f. boy
 who took off his cap and said Sir when he spoke to a man? The old maid vote isn't going to cut much of a figure. They are not going to tell their ages to get a chance to register. It has just about gotten so that ! woman wouldn't think of wearing an old-fashioned opaque skirt that hid what it was intended to hide If it wasn't for the dressing there

To Alaska By Air
(New York World)

In the flight to Alaska and return there is little of the spectacular stunt. The War Department has not lent itself to the showman's game It is exploring trip by the air route, undertaken after careful preparations. Excessive speed is not called for sensational performances demanded of the army fliers. They have set out 9,000-mile cross-country run planned with eye practical results
 Longer distances have been covered notably in the London Australia flight. The Nome tour is to be made by relatively stages but after crossing the Canadian border there wll be stretches of ter rtory where the flying will have good reason for praying for good luck. There pleasanter places to be stranded with wrecked airpane than the Canadian Rockies the wilds of Alaska A flight in almost any other direction the Unit ed States offers friendly harbors in of mishap. But if it not for the uncertainty of tEe outcome the adventure would lack zest.
