OFT OF DATE

OUT OF DATE
AS I pursue my useful courses l
often am submerged in tears, for all
my friends have had divorces-Tve
had one wife for thirty years. 1t
makes one feel so out of fashion,
backnumberish, behind the date;
divorces seem the ruling passion
with nearly every modern skate. My
wife and 1 have walked together
adown the slope of life's long hill,
encountered every kind of weather,
and every brand of good and i'll. And
as we thus pursued our journey the
marriage lines were never lost, and
neither ever hired attorney to see
Just what divorce would cost. We've
thought a marriage contract binding,
in every chapter, every verse. and
even If results were grinding, 1t was
for better or for worse. The vow
we made beneath the steeple is an
cient now, but still it serves, for we
are old time, simple people, and are
not wise to modern curves. / some
times feel outside the running when
friends come up and blithely tell
how for divorces they went cunning,
and shook off Jane or Kate or Nell.
But then I light another stogie, and
to Jemima thus I speak, I'D rather
be a mossback fogy than have a new
wife every week.. And she replies,
you're oft annoying, and try my
patience much, my dear, but 1 would
find it rather cloying to be a bride
nine times a year."

There was a fire in San Francisco
some years ago. There may nave
been an earthquake before the fire,
but it is not polite to mention it. A
certain firm in Chicago got busy at
the first news of the fire. The firm
manufactured iron beds and springs.
They loaded onto cars all their
older stock, and shipped 1t by fast
freight to Frisco. They did not wait
for orders. They cleared out their
odds and ends of stock, their samples
and discarded patterns, and every
thing in the attic of the storage
warehouse.
Good Business
1t was a great stroke of business.
They were the first men in the mar
ket with any considerable stock, and
they sold their beds and wire springs
as fast as they could pull them out
of the cars. Nobody stopped to ask
whether a bed was of the latest
style; people needed a place to sleep.
The firm turned into ready cash
a large accumulation of dead stock.
And they won the gratitude of many
people who were without comfort
able beds.
The sale Of old stock cannot often
be accomplished in such fashion.
But 1t ought to be done. Many a

IN MEMORY OF HEROES.

Seventeen states have about matured their
plans for memorial buildings to perpetuate the
memory of the American soldiers who died in
the World War.
Unlike memorials erected after previous wars
those now ~ontemplated will serve som useful
purpose. They will combine beauty and rever-
ence with usefulness.
This same trend is evident in memorials that
have been proposed in England and France.
The strictly monument type of memorial APP
pears to have nearly run it's course. It's place
is taken by memorial libraries, hospitals, audi
forums, stadiums and amphitheatres.
Two years from now. the University of Illinois
expects to open a $2,oOO,OOo athletic stadium
and recreational field. 1t will seat rs, o0O-the
largest athletic plan of it's kind in the country.
While this stadium is being financed by the
universities students and alumni, without state
aid, it will be a memorial to every Illinois
soldier that died in the war.
The University of Kansas is erecting a similar
memorial stadium. Its first section is expected
TO be completed in time for the Kansas-Missour
football game in November.
The University Of Nebraska, with state and
public aid, is erecting a memorial gymnasium.
Connecticut. for her state war memorial, is
considering placing milestones on her high
ways, each stone engraved in honor of an
individual Connecticut man who made the
supreme sacrifice.
Pennsylvania plans a giant memorial bridge
connecting the two parts of the city of Harris
burg.
indianapolis, which already has one of the
worlds five greatest war monuments, will be
the site of a 50, 900, 900 state memorial. Prob
ebly q coliseum, with memorial halls. audi
forums. trophy rooms and American Legion
headquarters.
Massachusetts, will build a similar structure
in Boston, in addition to monuments on the
battlefelds of France and arrangements for
permanently taking care of graves there.
Colorado has appropriated large sums for
erection of memorial armories.
Virginia will build a 100000 memoir
library. Utah c~ontemplates the same.
Some cities have planted a shade tree for
each of their soldier dead. This idea is spread
ing. One plan, now gathering much support.
proposes lining the Lincoln Highway from New
York harbor to the Golden Gate. and the Dixie
Highway from Chicago to Florida. with
trees.
When Attila the Hun died, he was buried in
an unknown river in a triple tomb with alternate
walls of gold, silver and iron. Slaves who buried
were executed to keep the grave secret.
Romans, concentrating their war dead, gave
the world memorial arches.
That the memorials we are building in honor
our war heroes are tending toward useful
structures, is evidence of an increasing spiritu-
atty.
The bovs who died in France need no marble
or bronze.
Their real memorial will be in the Soul of

GIANTs.-status OF Hughey Jen-

Jennings will earn his salt by
manufacturing Giant PEP.
The McGraw regime is not 20 end
this year.
In fact, McGraw is slated to use
a heavier hand in stirring the pen

The grizzled leader OF the Goth

before he begins hiring men to run
his Giants.
McGraw-always a hard worker In
his own training camps-is showing
more enthusiasm than ever.
Jennings Color.
Jennings job. for the present, at

ful E-Yahs. pick grass and lavishly
spill the Jennings brand Of pep.
McGraw Is in uniform every day.
He sits in the dugout and continues
his little Napoleon strategy OF win
ming ball games.
When Jennings gets the hang OF
things in the National League then
his chance may come.
II is Just so much OF a step even
more so perhaps-for a manager to
change leagues as Il for players.
Studies New Styles
Styles Of doing things in Johnson's
circuit difer from those practiced
in Heydler's.
Also Jennings must learn his new
players - their weaknesses and
strong points-as we'll as those OF
the men on the other seven clubs.
Neither MsGraw nor Jennings will
discuss their present relations.
McGraw does say that the -unning
Of the team after the season starts
will be the same as IL is now.
SO that's the dope on these two
at this stage.
Enjoy Jokes

Both like their little jokes
