legs like a rooster. The reason that
mule kicked me the first morning
had him was being used to Ford
car, and absent minded, went in the
stable and poured gasoline in his
ear to prime him and grabbed his
tail and started to crank him up.
Now he always starts kicking as soon
as he sees me coming, so 1 wont
prime and crank him. Whenever I
let this mule out the town marshal
makes me hang a red flag on him in
daytime and red lantern at night as
danger signels. That mule could
kick the sWeetening out of ginger
snap and dare the crust to move.
His pedigree shows him half brother
to satan and first cousin to pile
driver. There is more hell in that
mule than in barrel of white lightn-
ing. He is simply hell with hide
on. He is so contrary he has kinks
in his tail and his hair grows back
wards. A hornet stung him one day
and in kicking at the hornet he kick
ed himself in the head and knocked
himself unconscious. | found him
lying there and started to dig hole
to bury him and he regained con-
seriousness and kicked me in the hole
and paved the dirt on top Of me and
stomped it down. The fellow I got
him from told me his christening
name was Surprise" but I find him
a sad disappointment and poor in
vestment. l want to sell him now
as l can't keep up my insurance
policy any longer. Prospective sui
cides, here is your opportunity. Adj
dress any offers to Mule, Box 453,
Madisonville, La. Amen.

A GOOD WOMAN's LOVE.

CBy Prof. Roland Morgan)
There's nothing on earth or in heay-
en- above
More precious to man than a good
Woman's love.
One kind word, glance of her eyes,
Bids the coward behave, the despond-
ent arise;
ohe Will ever stand beside you
To comfort or to guide you;
When sickness or misfortune oyp--
take you
She's the friend that won't forsake
Her pure sweet face will wear a
smile,
Though her heart is breaking all
the while.
Hunger, cold and sorrow she'll bear,
Bidding you hope when your heart
would dispair;
The love in her heart never ceases
to burn,
The false friendship in scorn away
from you turn,
Kind, tender, loving, faithful and
brave,
Only parting from you in death at
the grave.
There's nothing in science or crafts
mans art
Can measure the love of a pure
Woman's heart.
IT'S gift to man from angels in
Heaven above
This priceless treasure good wo-
mans love.

WOMEN ARE TAKING PLACES
 OF MEN IN DRUG STORES

NEW YORK, Dec. z0-Women have broken down the barrier to pharmacy and are filling positions formerly open only to men
 Acting Dean c. c. Dieluaan, of the College of Pharmacy at Colur- bus University, in making this s,ate- ment, said the college reeolds show ed that women excelled in scholar ship and had earned more than their share of class honors.
 ''In practical work, where neat ness, dispatch and, above all. ac- curacy are deciding factors, their record is an enviable cne," he said.
 "The old prejudice against the employment of women in pharmacies excepting perhaps n a minor ca pacity, is rapidly disappearing in the larger cities. h suburban and rural communities women nave always been accorded their just recogni- tion."

GIRLS REFUTE STATEMENT
 THAT THEY DEMAND RICHES

BALTIMOR, Md, Dee. o0 ;;ou- cher College seniors have just con- troverted to their own satisfaction the charge made by speakers et the recent eugenist convention in New York that the American college girl is a stacker that she is un- willing to marry unless she can have many comforts and luxuries.
 A referendum sOte taken among the I05 seniors showed that they were of the opinion that a couple could marry safely and live in a city on income of $4e weekly.
 One girl thought she could live in comfort at about s155 a week, while another, who evidently had given the subject careful cans.dera- tion by making out budget. said she was willing to take chance at s850 or s1,OO0 a year if she had a child.
 Only six girls figured they would need s4,000 year or over. Twenty four made estimates of s2,000. Four thought they night be able to struggle along on sI,5O0.
 One senior estimated it would cost $3,0o0 ! year in Washington or New York but only s2,600 in the Middle Western cities. Another thot s2,500 would be needed if she were the wife of an army or navy officer.
 Almost every one emphasized the point that the success of the venture would depend largely or e.nomies and good team work by husband and wife.

DIRECTOR JONES URGES CONGRESS
 ID AID VESSELS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20 Director Jones, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, in his annual re- port, which has just been made pub lie, urges the need of Congression- al appropriations for the charting of ocean currents along the Pacific coast.
 The report cites the appalling loss of life and property in the wreck of the steamer Alaska" in an uncharted current, which is said to have dragged the fog-bound ship several miles inshore to a reef.
 The report recalls that since 1900 more than 100 vessels have been stranded or wrecked on the Pacific, involving the loss of hundreds of lives and millions of dollars in property loss, due to Hack of know ledge of the effects of currents along the coast"

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 20 It is understood that Secretary of State Hughes, who is also chair man of the Arms conference, has received a cable from ambassador Harvey, notifying him of Frances acceptance of the American naval proposals. The cable says that some discussion may be necessary to bring the views of Italy into accord but there will be no long negotiations on that point, according to the be- lief of the ambassador. The Ameri- can proposal will give France a naval ration of ITO and Italy's ratio will be 1.68.
 Definite announcement was made late this afternoon that France had accepted the proposal that she be accorded a capital tonnage of 175,- 900, under the naval limitation agreement. The acceptance of the French government was made known in formal communication from Premier Briand. While agreeing to that part of the proposal relating to capital ships, however, France intimates that it will be impossible to accept defensive snip reductions corresponding to those which we ac- cept for capital ships" without con- tradicting the vote of the French parliament. ..~=.1
 In communication addressed to the French delegation yesterday, the premier advised them to go as far toward accepting the American limi- tation plan as can be done without sacrificing the essential interests of the French government, as de scribed in French circulars. The in- structions did not direct definite ac- ceptance of the American ratio but indicated that France was in a mood to go into the matter more fully.

DRY AMENDMENT VOlDS
SOME OF REVENUE LAWS
U. S. Supreme Court Holds Con-
gress Did Not Intend to Preserve
the Former Penalties.

Passage Of the prohibition amend
ment served to annul various internal
revenue laws covering the liquor
traffic, the United States Supreme
Court yesterday held. Congress did
not intend to preserve the old penal
ties, the court said.
The old federal laws. the court
said. were a part of the system de-
vised to protect the great revenue
secured by the government from the
liquor traffic. The opinion pointed
out that the situation had entirely
changed, there being no federal
revenue from that source, and that
section 36 of the Volstead act had
repealed all acts and statutes in con-
fiict with the new law. The court
added, however. that Congress might
tax liquors regardless OF the fact
that they may no longer be manufac-
tured for beverage purposes as in the
past" s
! Mrs. Annette A. Adams, assistant at
torney general. who appeared for the
government in arguing the case be-
fore the Supreme Court said the
effect of the decision would be to
abate prosecution In number OF
cases In which indictments were
similarly based, and possibly cause
the remittance of fines imposed in
cases already decided contrary to this
ruling.
that the decision would serve as
further support for the dry forces
In the course of its opinion, the court
agreed With the lower tribunal in
holding tnet Congress manifested an
intention to tax liquor illegally as
well as legally produced"
