Those buried miners lived for five days on
birch bark tea. That's a good thing to remem-
Der when one thinks he is starved" because
the doctor makes him live on liquids all of three
days at time. 1t just goes to prove how little
the human system really requires for its actual
upkeep. The rest is 'excess baggage'-carried
because love the taste of good food Not all
the crimes against US are committed by other
people-some of them we perpetrate against our
lselves.
"One good reason why the devil succeeds is
that ne never seems to get mad at any one" OBJ
serves Dr. Roy Smith. What is true of the
devil is true of anyone else who succeeds far
las we know-the fellow who keeps his head al
ways has the advantage. The hot-tempered
simply hasn't chance when set up against the
clear sight of superlative GOODNESS. It's good
isound philosophy all right but who is going to
stop to remember it when the occasion comes
along for getting mad. The foolishest idea any of
US had is the very prevalent one that we
must "show other folks that they can't walk on
US" as a means of keeping our dignity.

1t was fair lady, star of play which is
running interminably on Broadway, and she was
conversing earnestly the story of her life.
She mentioned that she had left school after the
fifth grade, and in the prettiest manner possible
she deplored this deficiency of education, which
had cost her, she said, any amount of effort to
mend in later life. Il think everybody ought to
have a complete education" she went with
charming earnestness. eff possible think they
should even go through high school."-Judge.

Springfield issued clever little advertising
sheet entitled The Sauer Kraut Stamper to ad-
vertise its annual Sauer Kraut debauch. 1t was
really a clever little sheet, but the only thing
. about it that was really honest to goodness
truth was the slogan line which ran under the
heading on the front page and under the mast
head. "What we print, others dasn't." That's
ALL
What change there is in the character of
political gatherings. The other night an old-tim-
er went to political rally, expecting of those
good old-fashioned, rip-rarin' ward meetings
where the air is so thick with tobacco smoke
you think you're in London fog. But there was
no fog here. Instead was the gentle, insistent
aroma of talcum powders, perfumes and toilet
waters. The crowd was dotted with feminine
hats and boyish hobs. On the stage there was
a piano. couple of singers came forward and
did their act Then followed monologist, a
couple of joksters and two child dancers. The
orator at a ward meeting used to spit great
flood of tobacco juice upon the floor and start
swearing at his adversary. At this meeting he
arose quietly, arranged his necktie, smoothed his
hair, took glass of water, and in a politescice,
began: Ladies and gentlemen" Ward meet
ings were held often in connection with convent
ent bars This one was near a kitchen, and
while the candidate was addressing the assem-
blage, his seconds were out in the culinary de-
partment eating ice cream. After it was all
over the guests were given a dipper of ice
cream and couple of sugar waters. "A good
time was had by all."-Mankato Free Press.
