COUSIN JOSIE


 T can't help but feel, Henry said Josie would have had a better time while she was with us if you had ex- erted yourself more. to talk to her and act interested"
 Talk to her" cried her husband My dear, don't you realize that the person doesn't exist who can talk to your cousin Josie. All one can do is listen to her. So long as you let her talk she is perfectly happy and I don't see why the same results can't be at tained whether she talks in an empty room or is surrounded by people. Sc why should I waste nay time that might be more proftably employed ty of air and nobody firm enough to reading or going to the movies? Give Cousin Josie a nice warm room, plen- ty of air mad nobody firm enough interrupt her and she has reached her heaven. I thought I treated Cousin Josie very nicely"
 T won't deny that Josie is lively the wife admitted. But the way you acted the second night she was here when that committee came to see me and you were left to entertain her. blush whenever I think of it. Walk ing off upstairs and leaving her sit ting all alone!"
 "she never knew it!" indignantly protested the husband '1ll bet s dollar she couldn't to this day tel whether she was alone or was sur rounded by a ring of interested list eners. When she gets started she goes into a sort of a trance. I didn't know there were so many words ly- ing around loose, positively. When you left me with her I felt kindly and eblisiRg and laid aside my paper pre- pared to talk about the opera, the price of bacon and whether she wasn't surprised to find the queen of Bel giuTn was a small woman.
 Any woman I have known would have been glad to be talked to on those subjects. but I never got a chance Cousin Josie started right in the in- stant you left She wanted to know whether I didn't think burlap wal coverings had gone out and when opened my mouth to reply She switch ed right over to whether it was the correct policy for the government tt ship all the bolsheviks discovered ir this country away on the bFiny deer or whether it wouldn't be better just to shoot them.

 It was on one of those cars where the outside door is closed after you enter. The man was chewing and wanted to expeetorate. He got up and went to the front of the ear as if to get off. The stop bell was sounded, The moterman halted his car, opened the door for the man to get off but he just spit and returned to his seat.
 All the passengers heard the mo- toFman say: And still some people have get the nerve to kick on the kind of service we render"
 Embarrassing.
 The mother and daughter were vis- iting in another city. They came to the statue of a well known hero when the mother told the child. When I was little girl I had the honor of being kissed by this great man."
 4 night or two later as they were coming out of the theatre near the statue. the little tgirl exclaimed, "Oh, mother, there's that man again that kissed you!"
 But no one knew the little girl was talking about the statue and the mother did not stop to explain.

HoNEsTY BEST Policy

New York has made an important cleanup in conneetio with the many losses of securities and bondsN By the arrest of five crooks who. were in- velved in the game of robbing bank or broker messengers, or working with them there has apparently been run down a gang that has been eaus- ing no little uneasiness in the Wall street section of the metropolis. Evi- dence that win help to clear up many other cases as we'll as aid in the con vtction of those who have been as sistiEg in the disposal of bonds and securities has been obtained.
 It is frequently remarked that if given rope enough such people will hang themselves and that appears 10 nave been the case in this in stance. They had gotten away with large sums already but they were working for bigger sum. That was their undeing, together with the hes itatien of the messenger tackled who refused to rush headlong into the scheme.
 It has been plainly disclosed zs the result of the arrests ana the story told by the messe-<er whose help was solicited. that the whole solution of these Eig bond and security losses lies s@ the employment of honest and properly paid messengers, and sur rounding them with every possible safeguard for their own as well as the protection of their employer.
 Just as long as crooks can get ir touch with the messengers and fill their ears with alluring tales of great riches there is the chance of such footing continuing unless trustworthS men are employed, and that qualif- cation of trust Is one that cannot be ests blished in a minute.
 The messenger who hesitated has good reason to be thankful that he did. There is lesson in his experi- ence that should confront every one tempted in the way he was. The bond thieves, like the pitcher, went to the well once too often. They should be made an example of and the service render ed by the messen- ger should not go unrewarded.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Red Peril.

MT. Editor: We have just read with great indignation the letter of George E. Campbell of Feb. 5th in when he upholds the red propa gan Ga that is spread throughout tie iand and brands as moral towards our brave and patriotic assemblymen and public officials that are striving to purge our land of dangerous per- sons and doctrines that threa .en 70 destroy the government and opprsss the American people, and it is go-ng to be done, We want him to un- derstand God Almighty, the Ameri- can people, this grand old govern ment fours and the Constitution of the United States still lives and al- ways will. We also want him to un- derstand that the great mass of Americans are not living in darkness or steeped in. ignorance, but in a great light of a high civilization and Knowledge extending over a period of over hundred years. We have lived nearly sixty years in this land of freedom and liberty as working ncu and don't want to change it for any untrfed impractical theory of gov eFnment which a few overeducated sentimental idiots would set up in it's place, which would give the peop,s nothing but slavery and poverty iK- stead of freedom and prosperi " which we now enjoy. If he likes t so well why doesn't he go where they have this beautiful form of govern ment which is only one of theory and will not work out in practical way and whose only foundation is a yoap- bubble. Bolshevism, socialism and all like iSms have been misera 5ls l failures wherever tried. Yes, our l Constitution does give the right of free seeech for the nation and it's ! people but no free speech that aims 1 to destroy or oppress it's people and i Senator Walsh of Montana nor any ] other person can interpret it rightly ] in any other way.
 i We say, down with the red peril
 Come on with America for Ameri- 1 cans, first last and all the time, and ] hand down to posterity this grand i old government of ours that freedom
 liberty, peace, prosperity and hap i piness may be ours forever.

 SpirituaIism.
 Mir. Editor: It seems to me that sufficient evidence has been present ed in your paper to put the damper on Spiritualism for a good long time to come. Permit me to say, that no person who has intelligently studied the Bible and compared it with the doctrine of SpiYitualism can ever again believe such teaching. That Spiritualism is a doctrine of the devi is admitted by some of it's own advo- cates. In The Banner of Light, Nov 4, 1865, was the following question and answer, the answer being giver by Mrs. Conant, at that time a wei known medium:
 "Questien-Do you know of any such spirit as a person we call the devil?
 Answer-we certainly do. And ye this same devil is our god. our ia ther"
 How foolish!
 This delus9ve work of Satan in the last days is plainly foreteld ir the New Testament: Now the spiri speaketh expressly, that in the Iattel times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to sedueing spirits and doctrine of devils" 1 Thess 4 1 In the second chapter of the ? Thess we read of the working of Satan witt all power and signs and lying won deRs and with all deceivableness O unrighteousness in them that perish because they received not the love O the truth. that they might be saved. Verse g, 10.

First Aid to
The Poor Fish

PRAIRIE DU CHEN. Wis. Dee.
S.-Here's the biggest fish story you
ever heard-und II Uncle sam were
not sponsor for the yarn no one
would believe II.
It's this way:
From ponds around the Upper
Mississippi. more than o 1000, 900 fish
have been, caught this yea'! SO says
&. Il. Cutler, superintendent Of gov
eminent "rcscue crews engaged in
getting fish out OF small ponds into
the Mississippi and other large rivers.
The object In to conserve IA great
fresh fish food supply.
But that isn't the major fish story.
IT'S only u small fishing yarn.
Merely 20 get your mind In a re-
ceptivc attitude.
Superintendent Cutler says he
hopes to rescue 200 1000, 900 fish
this season. which Will break his
last years record OF saving $780,
100000 fish!
This IL considered by all lsaak
Maltons. az the biggest fish story ever
told. It's tho fish story cNtraOrdinairc.
We're hampered.' says Cutler, by
the lack OF funds. Usually I work IA
crews OF four to six men, but lately
I've had to lay OH four crews. Each
crew works about 900 miles OF the
mississippi"
Cutler explains the way The small
fish get caught In the small lakes
and ponds along the Mississippi. In
the spring. when the river Is near the
flood stage. most of the Islands are
covered with water and the sluughs
become part Of the river. As the
waters rccede the parent fish have
enough sense to escape back to the
river. but the small fry are left
stranded. Caller's work Is the rescue
OF these small fish.
