SHE HAD LENT HER,N

The doctor called on a man who
was i'll and told the wife she must
put him into recumbent position.
"A what, doctor?"
"A recumbent position" said the
doctor.
AS soon as he had gone she went
to a neighbor ano said: MRS. Brown,
could you lend me a recumbent posi-
tion?"
But Mrs. Brown was determined not
to show her ignorance and answered:
"I'm very sorry, my dear, but I've
just lent mine to Mrs. Smith"

THE BRITISH NOBILITY

Mrs. Bixby: "That Marquis of
Queensbury, or whoever he is, must

ONE OF THE OLD KIND

Mrs. M. had arrived at the little
station in Vermont on a cold, stormy
evening and had hired an old man to
drive her to her friends farm up
among the hills. The roads were in
bad condition from the storm, and the
ride was altogether very uncomfort-
able one.
GLOW much do / owe you?" she
asked on arriving at her destination.
"WelI, ma'am," said the old man,
"my regular price is dollar, but
SEEM as it's sech a bad night and
the goin' so terrible, I'll call it rs
cents"

A real painful complaint comes from the cap
tol at Phoenix. 1t says that the capitol building
is over crowded with office holders and it is pro-
posed to trade it off to Maricopa county to be used
as a court house, then buy few sections of land
close in where there would be sufficient room for
buildings to properly accommodate our rapidly
growing official state family. If the number of
new offices continues to grow as rapidly in the
next ten years as in the past ten years, couple
sections of land would just about hold enough
buildings.

Fred Stone, the comedian who will

A pale lank divine was talking to
him one day in New York about the

said the divine unctuously. "What a

Stone? ?"
"Well," said the comedian, "she

The late William Rockefeller left an estate in
ventoried at $70000,000. Of that amount S45,-
100000 was in tax-exempt securities. All of
which makes taxation on the rest Of the people
that much higher and is pretty good evidence that
the higher the government sticks on the taxes the
less returns he gets. Sur-taxes merely drive
money out of business.

Governor Hunt has come out flat-footed at last
as rrevocably against the ratification of the Col
orado river pact Well, his neutral attitude" dur
ing the session of the legislature did not deceive

how so far as he is concerned and he may just as
well let the people know how he felt all the time,
even while mighty busy side-stepping the issue.

ROCKEFELLER GIVES IN
10 YEARS $76,OOO,OOO
NO PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL HAS
EVER GIVEN AWAY A FOR
TUNE MORE WISELY,

1t is doubtful whether any private
individual has ever spent great Tor
tune more wisely than Mr. Rockefel-
Ter. In ten years he has managed to
spend $76.000,000 at an administrative
cost OF ~ per cent. Compared with
most philanthropists this is an as
founding efficiency, says the New
York World.
But what is most significant about
the Rockefeller donations is the con-
centration of effort on those very
things which are most essential and
yet are most neglected by popular
governments. These funds are spent
only incidentally on the relief OF dis
tress. They are spent primarily on the
Acquisition Of knowledge
They represent, therefore, perma-
nent addition to the intellectual CAPT
tai of tn human race Yellow fever
one conquered by a. NOguchi at the
Rockefeller Institute is conquered for
as long as human records survive. 1t
has an achievement independent OF
the follies OF government OF the pas
sions of peoples.
The prospects are positively daz-
cling of what could be done for man
KIND II all the scientific brains III the
world were trained, selected and
equipped and set to work as the small
band OF scientists at the Rockefeller
Institute have been. For we stand on
the very threshold today of discover
les in physics, in chemistry and in
medicine which would revolutionize
labor and free men OF vast amounts
of suffering and disease.
But over the greater part OF the
civilized world the folly and dishon-
esty OF politicians and the infamed
passions OF this people are stopping
research and are driving scientific men
whose brains are the principal assets
of civilization, away from their labo-
ratories to earn a miserable living.
In its efforts to mitigate that ca
lanity the Rockefeller Foundation de
serves every kind of public support.

Nuts" Are Declared
Good Insurance Risks
Company Officer Also Finds Women
More Honest Thar Men.

Men classed by their fellows as
nuts are usually honest and are list
ed with insurance men as good risks,
according to a New York Times re-
port of an address by Fred n Whitney,
vice president of the National Surety
Company, on Gambling on Human
Nature" at a luncheon. of the Cana
dian club. He also listed fat men and
married men as good risks and placed
as an exceptionally bad risk the man
with an eXtravagant wife.
Mr. Whitney said that geographically
the best risks were men and women
OF English-speaking races and those
Of northern European countries. Con
spicuous examples of the dishonest
were, he said, to be found among
these people, for he said, when north
countryman goes wrong he not only
has the brains to plan a cleanup,
but he has as we'll the courage to car
ry his plan out.
The reason why an eXtravagant wife
was detriment to honesty was, he
said, self-evident, and he instanced
the case OF a man who stole 100000
for the sole reason of satisfying the
demands of his wife.
Women as a class were more hon
est than men, Mr.. Whitney added. He
said that if 100 women obtained posi-
tons as cashiers and 100 men selected
for similar positions, the end of the
first year would find more women
than men going straight" Men and
women attain mental balance at sc
and few go crooked after that age is
reached, he said.

PRETTY QUEEN HAS
SHOCKED EUROPE
MARIE OF JUGO-SLAVIA IS
PHOTOGRAPHED, AND HER
NIGHTIE SHOWS, TOO.

Europe is shocked because the pref
test most youthful fascinating, pop
ular and audacious queen in the coun-
try has been photographed in bed.
And that with her "nightie' showing
and her hair down her back.
What matters if the picture shows,
too, the little wrinkled face OF tiny
bit of humanity who Will some day be

when he grows up-cradlcd III the
hollow OF a mothers arm?
What matters if il makes a picture
as humanity beautiful as a Raphael
Madonna? 1t doesn't matter at all,
they say, for il shows a queen in bed
in her "nightie" and with her hair
down.
And in all the ages no queen had
been photographed in bed until Marie,

old wife Of King Alexander, ruler OF
the Serbs. dehed tradition and posed
fir the camera.
Granddaughter of Victoria.
Most extraordinary" the British
declare, and then fail to wondering
what the pretty little queens great
grandmother the austere Queen VIC
toria, would say II she could see TINS
photograph OF a scion OF her royal
house.
But those who best know Queen
Marie are not so much surprised. She
was ever modern, unconventional, un-
affected. Nature endowed her with
great beauty, and yet she has never
hesitated to add to that beauty when
the articles OF man permitted her to
do so.
In another way too, she has shown
her disdain for conventions, her indie
pendence and her defiance OF custom.
A few years ago the young KING Bo-
ris of Bulgaria, who is preparing visit
the United States in quest OF an Amer
lean wife with fortune, came along
looking for a wife and beheld the
strikingly beautiful Marie.
As is usually the case, Mares par
ents arranged match between them,
But they reckoned without Marie, for
when that young lady heard about it
she threw her nose into the air and
fatty declared she wouldn't marry any
one but the man of her choice. And
she had her way Then King Alex
ander came along and she tell for
him at once.
