 envy no man who does not know the hard, hot fierceness of life's weary battle. To my thinking, work, hard work, man-killing toll. is a somewhat fine thing-and the good God knows I've seen my share of it.
 I've lived among the well-to-do, and those whose clothes are ammacu- late. I've lived also with the social ist. the radical, the l. w. W. Some Of my acquaintances are in jail today for their ideas and ways.
 I don't judge them. It is not my business to do so, nor do l judge the folks who go immaculate, with no knowledge of life's heavy. heart breaking burdens of despair and but little sympathy for us, the toilers.
 What fine thing it would be If the children of this, our America, might be taught to think-to think ah-to think of something deeper than shallow patrlotism A mans patriotism must begin within him self. If a man has it not, a loyalty to his own soul, how shall he have 1t for his country? And when all is said and done, do you think that God. in looking down upon the roll ing sphere we call our earth, perhaps ignores our man-made boundary lines? And seeks within the souls or us to see what lies within? think he does, perhaps. For man was made before the nations had their birth. and man needs to be loyal to his humanity first of all.
 Some day, perhaps. when the little pig-eyed men and the big broad chested men and the people who were
 n to silk and satin robing all th> lives along-when the tollers. the l. W.

I am sure it will. For after all. We are none of us much else than muddle- le-headed children toiling feebly in the sun-glare of a hard old mortal life.

CHICAGO, March 17.-Chicago's 8 lone wooden Indian which stands guarding Joe Hands Cigar store on North Clark street has outlived oth- CTS of his kind by more than a score of years because he's had fresh coat of paint whenever he needed one.

I paint the old boy out ti.ere every year and not many can raint 'em like I can. I am an exprrt and where he stands, as good teddy as long ago. Barber poles are kep, painted and we still have them. lndiaas were forgotten around the cigar stores and they fell to pieces"

ONE IN FIVE MILLION Om EverybOdy'S Mapazina


 Clayton Hamilton, upon his recent return to New York after two years in Los Angeles. said that while he Knew nothing about moving pictures when he went out there, he soon be- gan to learn some of the dogmas of picture making.
 For instance. MT. Hamilton said, when producer sets about to make a picture-play, he must consider that it is intended to appeal to the classes who attend movie theatres. That Is. it must interest 5000, 900 servant girls, 1o,o0o,oo0 shop-girls and so forth.
 MT. Hamilton told his wife about this.
 Did you know, dear" he said that successful moving picture must appeal to 10.o00.o00 shop girls and 5.0O0,000 servant-girls?"
 Really" exclaimed Mrs. Hamilton who had her own domestic problem But where are those 5,OOO. .00O servant -girls?"
 Which was rather a puzzling re- joinder to MT. Hamilton until he hit upon the logical answer:
 "Why, they are at the movies. of course"
