By The Way


A philosopher wonders why women
will do anything in the circus, but
are never clowns. An old circus man
says it is because women hate to be
laughed at. He is mistaken. A clown
must get rid of all his dignity. And
for a woman. fortunately, that is i'm
possible. Try as she may, there al
ways remains something human, dig
nified, reserved. No red spots on her
cheeks, pointed cap on her head or
ridiculous clothes can change it. She
cannot be a clown. Nature never
intended it, Man, good clown, came
first. Then came woman and dignity.

In reference to the evolutionists,
Mr.. Bryan says, They can't make
a monkey out of mel"
Who wants to make a monkey out
of William? Are the rascally evolu-
tionists trying to repeat what the
Republican party did in 1896, in 1900
and in 1908; what Tammany Hall
did in 1904; what Woodrow Wilson
did in 1912; what Woodrow Wilson
again did a few years later, when he
God-blessed William from the State
department into the outer darkness;
what Hitchcock did a half dozen tim
es in Nebraska; what the sepulchural
Mr.. Trammell is reported to be about
to do in Florida, if William will
but give him the chance?
If the evolutionists are wastirly
their time trying to make a monkey
out of William, they must be fully as
Silly as William says they are. Car
rying Goals to Newcastle is an essen
tial industry as compared with the
job of simianizing ". J. B.-Balti-

Brother, / am up against it. Lend
me 500 till l get home His casual
travel comrapion glanced at tee
charm, looked him over, land finally
handed him the hundred. which was
promptly returned when the Congress

called the incident. Say" said the
man who lent the money, when you

put it on my chain. You thought | was
a Mason, however. and I was asham-
ed to have you think I wouldn't help
