not agree exactly on the date,
but a little thing like q date
doesn't make much difference SO
long a. the end Of the world is
bound to come during the year.
Eram W. Foogle, the cele-
brated hermit Of the Catskills,
who has predicted the end Of the
world every year since the Johns
town food, says he is certain this
time rhat it VIII come on March

Professor Wilbur Priddy, Of

the end of the world will come
at 8 o'clock in the afternoon of
May 80. Reserved seats may be
had at the box Office.
Bohunkus Jones, the Montana
recluse, has been studying the

he asserts that the end Of the
world will arrive on July 8. He
would Ike to put it off until the

much BY his nose. It leads him
everywhere. A man with an up
tilted nose IL apt to be led to
higher things, but he has such a
hard time getting there on ac-
count Of the Jibes poked at him
owing to his up-tilted nose, that
he rather regrets the trip and
envies the man with the straight
nose who Is driving a taxicab.
Yes, the beauty of this promi-
nent organ makes a tremendous
difference. Napoleon accom-
plished much along his line be-
cause he had a very beautiful
nose, resembling the rudder of
an old-fashioned ship. If he had
owned an inartistic proboscis he
probably would have spent his
life pulling rutabagas and horse
radish on the island Of Corsica.
Richard, the Lion Heart, the
most chivalrous monarch OF
history, doubtless owed his great
reputation to his nose, an organ
which started out to be something
else and then changed It's mind
but not soon enough to conceal
It's indecision. 1t was one of
those noses which, II the owner
attempted to follow it, he would
earn a reputation for insobriety,

tint Of the crimson italian sun
set Others bore the shade Of
the Bolshevik flag while still
others flourished in the tinge of
the pink carnation. Beautiful
noses all, and acquired in most
cases at a terrific price.
But these beautiful noses were
legislated out of style and they
have been growing paler and
paler since Prohibition. In those
days a man did not read the
beauty experts column in the
newspapers to acquire one of
these lovely knobs. He knew
exactly where to buy 1t. Very
soon, with the needful number
Of applications Of nose paint, he
could easily be mistaken at night
for a Tetreating automobile, or If
he stood on a corner in the dusk,
people would pass and say: "Ah,
there 's a fire-alarm box on this
corner. didn't know that"
But the old-time beautifier Of
the probosci humanicus Is ex-

Undoubtedly not.
A man can occasionally forget
his nose because he can't see It,
