More Truth

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

SPEAKING OF HIGH COSTS.
A few years ago. in the town Of
Stamlboul,
When ladies led placid and COM
monplace lives.
The average Turk. as a general rule,
Was frequently married to TWEEN
ty-four wives.
They went TO no dances or movies,
poor souls,
Nor gllded cafes (for the country
was dry;
They never made speeches, or went
to the polls.
And therefore their clothes didn't
come very high.
On pilaff and Turkish delight they
were fed.
And waxed very rosy and round
on such fare;
A few bolts OF cloth, and a few
hanks OF thread
Provided the lothes that they
needed 10 wear.
Besides every wife brought a dot TO
her lord
In rugs. or tobacco, or back
sheesh or plate,
So only the wealthiest Turks could
afford
To live in a single or bachelor
state.
But now that the girls in the Sui
tan,s domains
Have learned 70 pay bridge and

And gather at meetings Of Women

Their men mus. provide them

And suits made OF duvetyn and

ON PROPHEsYING


FUTURE EVENTS.
A great deal of mystery has been
thrown about prophets and seers
and soothseers in the past. They
would lead you to belleve-these
ancient hostorians-that one who
could prophesy future events was
not an ordinary person at all; that
the gift of prophesy was something
almost supernatural. But that is
all foolishness. Anybody can
prophhesy. You can. can. That
makes in unanimous.
For instance,I can tell you with
out the slightest hesitation that the
vernal equinox will occur this year
in March; that Easter Sunday will
fa.l on March 9th and Yom- Kippur
on Oct. IL; that the baseball teams
will go south to traf in the spring
ami will play the world series in
the fall; that independence day will
be celebrated on July 4. and that a
least $4,000 orators will speak on
Bunker Hill and the Spirit of rs.
and Will refer patronizingly to
life. libery and the pursuit OF hap
illness" as if they invented all
three, or at least two of them.
further prophesy that il will be
hot this summer and that some days
will be hotter than others, while
Btill others Will be cooler: that the
women will wear summer furs and
men will think it looks foolish, but
IT won't make any difference; there
will be at least 1.475 golf balls lost;
Chic Evans will win 20 or 80 tourn-
aments; Babe" Ruth will knock at
least % homers; pictures Of bathing
girls will appear on covers of vari-

Some towns boast of mountains,

The country farm is rich with charm
Which nowhere else can be;
The city's walls are stately.
The temple spires ars far.
But this is true-theskies are blue
And men smile everywhere.
Some places sit by rivers
And some by prairies wide,
Some hear the breeze in forest trees,
Some show their hills with pride;
But wheresoe'er you travel,
Yes, wheresoe'er you go,
You'll always meet with laughter

And eyes with mirth aglow.
The tropics have their palm trees
Which colder climates lack,
And home is home. where'er you

And something calls you back;
But while fare my homeland
And give TO her my love.
Where'er I stray throughout the day

extraordinary one in that she is not
displaying a new style ink stand,
or the latest in electric fans, which
are to be worn by fashionable ladies'
on their silk hose just below the

that Sue is a back number and en-
