MAN WHO DECIDES IS WRONG
Dictionary Has Definitely Determined
the Status OF the Bottle on
the Porch.

The man who always decides dis
putes and is sometimes right looked
up expectantly as the inquirer ap.
preached. He scented a question and
he was not mistaken.
ITO decide q bet" said the inquirer,
tell me which Is right to say: The
bottle sits on the porch or the bottle
sets on the porch"
That's easy" responded the ora
Gle. "Of course, the bottle sets on
the porch"
"Oh!" said the inquirer disap-
pointed. my bet was on sits" And
he withdrew deferentiaIly from the
oracle and consulted the Standard
dictionary and In triumph returned,
remarks the New York Sun.
'The dictionary says that sets
means to cause to sit, and that sits
means to have or keep q seat upon
something"
The man who decides snorted con-
temptuously. Look again, son." he
said. patronizingly. "and you'll find
somewhere among those definitions the
fact that only the things which have
life are capable Of sitting. The bottle
has no life. therefore you must say
the bottle sets on the porch"
The inquirer, mindful of n two
dollar bet, read diligently through the
definitions and returned with his mind
cleared OF doubt TO the man who de.
cides. i've come to the conclusion"
the inquirer told him, "that the bottle
neither sets nor sits on the porch and
that the proper way Is to say the
bottle Is set on the porch"
But" commenced the man who
always decides disputes.

thinking Of all the things which make
us want TO be thankful.
"Of course we can't always say our
thanks, but even then we can feel
gratitude or thanks.
I'VE can't very well say thank you
to the sun for shining or to the rain
for coming when the ground Is dry
and needs n cooling drink. We can't
very well say thank you to the flowers
which come out In the spring and In
the summer. We can't very well say
thank you to the stars for blinking and

''The stars are too far away and so

"But. just the same. we can feel

Then the Beetles grinned In their
Beetle fashion and crawled Off to ask
the other Black Beetles 10 come to Mr..
Black Beetles party.
All the Beetles came. and there were
many. many Bi; x Beetles at the
party. Mr.. Benjamin Beetle and Mr..
Billy Beetle also belonged to the Black
Beetle family, and they were very
much excited over the party.
The guests all had an extremely
good time. They played games, they
climbed on each others backs and had
a gay Beetle frolic.
They had good things to eat and
some Of them sang little songs. very
funny little buzzing. squealing songs,
which they all thought were very
lovely.
There are some creatures" said
Mr. Black Beetle. who think that the
blue lake yOnder. which Is surrounded
by those blue hills, is the loyeliest

the shadows which play over the lake

Louisville, KY, Dec. 22.-Henry
Watterson left Louisville three weeks
ago for Florida where he has spent
his winters for several years. He
was in his usual health which has not
been good for some time. There were
many evidences of mourning for the
man who has been a conspicuous fig
ure in this community for more than
fifty years.
Apparently he viewed with calm
ness the end of his span of life. Once
when he was about to undergo an
operation he said to the managing
editor of the Courier Journal, 81 am
prepared at any time to surrender my
life to God who gave it. We do not
know about these things and I face
he consequences with serenity. 1t is a
perilous undertaking for man who
is seventy years old but I patiently
submit to the surgeons knife and all
the consequences that may follow" !"
Recently Mr.. Watterson was allow
ed to read portions of his obituary as
prepared by friend and said to the
writer, 81 am getting a portion of
my own funeral, sitting up in the
grave as it were and reading my
obituary, and grinning at the boys,
but I am very cheerful and grateful.
It's kind o'nice and a heap better
than being saddled with motives and

Washington, Dec. 21.-Government
is not only a very human institution
but an immense organization, and
some times one branch of it does
which the other knows
nothing about.
That's the explanation for the
opinion which President Harding in
nocently voiced at his meeting with
the newspaper correspondents con-
cerning the meaning of the four
at once sent broadcast as a conflict
of view and contradiction of ideals
between Secretary Hughes and the
President.
In fairness to all sides, the facts
of the incident ought to be stated
Mr, Harding submits twice week to
Interrogation by the newspaper cor
respondents. They offer their ques-
tions in writing and Mr.. Harding can
answer or not as he pleases. One in
quiry related to the debate which has
been going on in the Senate as to
the true meaning of preamble of the
new four-power treaty which reads
with view to the preservation of
the general peace and the mainten-
ance of their rights in relation to
their insular possessions and insular
dominions in the region of the Pacific
ocean," The query was whether the
words ''insular dominions'' included
the homeland of Japan. Senator Reed
had contended that it did and that
America was ineffect guaranteeing
the territorial integrity of Japan
when in fact, the United States had
refused to guarantee anybody else s
territorial integrity under article ten
The President read the question
carefully and stated his own personal
impression. He said at the outset
that he had not consulted the mem
bers of the American delegation
about it-fof indeed he has left to
them the task Of working out such
problems as these. He did know, how
ever, that it was not the intention OF
the United States to guarantee the
territorial integrity of Japan and his
own superficial reading of the treaty
led him to conclude that no such
meaning was intended inasmuch as
Japan herself was signatory to the
treaty and that obviously it was in
