His Pups Died of Mange. The Wrong Troops. Buy Cemetery Stock.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE

A young lady of the stage who had expected to marry the son of a rich well known man, sees her plans blighted. and says of the young man; He Is easily led, easily influenced, and Is a typical rich mans son."
 There the young lady said great deal about what wealth unearned, plus flattery and self indulgence, will do for boys.
 It's carnegie's story of the old deer hound that caught deer and put them in a big enclosure that his puppies might catch their venison easily. 2 The puppies had plenty of meat and they all died of the mange.
 United States negro troops ane sent to. Texas. a special train load. to act as police among the striking rall- road men. There ought to be no race prejudice, but there Is race preju- dice. The sending of those men Is unwise, unjust to the negro troops calculated to breed more race hatred
 
 ought to know it.
 The first test of the Ku Kiux Klan's political power, in Texas. shows real power. The man with the klan's backing for governor leads. That makes the sending of black troops to Texas still more unwise.
 
 According to the chief medical ex- aminer in New York state. the deaths caused by alcohol are s9 per cent above 1920. 27 per cent above 1921. thus far. The whisky sold Is even more poisonous than 1t was before prohibition. It kills quickly instead of slowly. Hundreds are dying, , thousands will die later, including those that drink whisky ''colored and favored with iodine"
 First class investment in the United States today is stock in good cem- etery company.
 In ths largest type that he ever uses. Frank Munsey says, ITO be quoted, you must be great or you must be interesting-or you must be both."
 You need not be either. The i'm portant thing is to be unusual. Ralaam's ass. neither great nor in teresting, is quoted frequently. Ln- ther Boddy. young negro, who shot lrt to be sleetrocuted. and meanwhile says, T am going to read all the books can"
 Boddy reads only fiction. And the prison head allows him only good" fiction. He can have "Ivanhoe," but cannot read. "Snarleyow, the Dog Friend" How carefully civilization guards the mind. morals and reading matter of gentleman after he gets into the death house and how little attention that civilization pays to such things at earlier stages.
 A man in a closed garage left his engine running until 1t exhausted thu oxygen. The man died
 On a smaller scale the thing hap pens whom human sstoks sleep in q room with the wfnc - sqs frg also exhaust the oxya n. Nj . ai out poisonous carbon dioxyde. They don't die just then. But they eie sooner than they need.
 Have you . boy at collegcf Are you delighted to hear that he has made" his "Y~ or his TIT Has any body told you that the most danger ous thing Is over -straining the heart in athletics!
 You are reminded of 1t by the death sociated Press. He was a great ash- lete expert swimmer and rower. Athletics had ruined his heart. he fell into the water and drowned because he could not swim a str9ke. There is one thing worse than not exercis- ing enough and that Is exercising too much.
 The mind rules in various ways. through love, fear, curiosity, hatred. The New York Times tells of crip- pie on his way to Lourdes. hobbllng painfully on crutches. He thought Ee could not walk. Crossing the rall road track he saw an engine coming toward him. The crowd shrieked, the cripple dropped his crutches and ran fat
 In other cases fear has killed.
 The English are building an afr ship that will cross the Atlantic in one day. They are energetic citizens, those Englishmen. And they will rule the ocean above us as well as the wet ocean If the United States con tinues to sleep. content to talk.
