money.
AS / grew up. came into the world.
and observed the actions of men, l

gives too much for his whistle.

fairs and running them by that neglect,
he pays, says /, too much for his
whistle.
II knew a miser who gave up every

1, YOU pay too much for your whistle.
When l met with a man of pleasure
sacrificing every laudable improvement
of his mind or his fortune to mere cor
poreal SatiSfactions and running his
health in their pursuit, mistaken man,
says /, you are providing pain for your
self instead OF nleasure-you pay too
much for your whistle.

he has paid too much for his whistle.
When I saw q beautiful. sweet-tem-

In short, I conceived that great part
of the miSeries of mankind were brought
upon them by the false estimates they
had made Of the value Of things and by
their giving too much for the whistle.
Yet I ought to have charity for these
unhappy people when I consider that
with all this wisdom Of which I am
boasting there are certain things in the
world so tempting-for example. the
apples of King John, which happily are
not TO be bought. for If they were put
TO sale by auction / might very easily
be led to ruin myself in the purchase
and find that had once more given
too much for the whistle.

crawled out on the wings and hung
from the landing gear. With grin OF
satisfaction he made his way back to

AutOist Admits Killing.
Accepts Prison Term

From the Kansas City Journal-Post.
A local motorist, who killed man
by his reckless driving. has entered q
plea of guilty to a charge of man
slaughter and accepted sentence to
two years in the State penitentiary.
Manslaughter is the unlawful killing
If person. without malice, express or
implied. Hence the unlawfulneSs con-
sists in recklessness. II man wildly
waved pistol and 1t went off and
killed the person in front of it, the
crime would be type of manslaughter
When motorist raises the speed Of his
vehicle to lawless stage, ignores
traffic rules and signals and runs down
and kills a person within the peace
who had right to expect the motorist
to follow the regulations of law, the
offenSe is manslaughter.
The accidents arising from reckless
driving of motor vehicles have become
so numerous that prison sentences for
the most fragrant offenders are neces-
sary as a deterrent 1t Is to be hoped
that the impressiveness of prison SEN
fences may not be reduced by chicken

Allenby as Guest of Nation
Recalls Days of Crusaders

in the right place at the right time
The men under Lord Allenby were of all
faiths and they must have appreciated
the fitness Of his policy on that historic
occasion"
"Allenby changed the map of the
world AYERS the Morgantown New
Dominion. "He broke the power of the
Turk in the Holy Land and brought 1t
under different influence, one which
today is assisting the people in their
struggle toward a greater degree of self
government as well as for more
economic freedom" The Davenport
Democrat calls him zone of the most
picturesque figures of the World War
and illustrates that with the descrip.
ton: "A campaign which resulted in
the capture OF Jerusalem from the
Turks that broke Turkish line reach
ing from GAIA to Beersheba: in the
course of which Turkish guns were fired
from the Mount of Olives, and In which
the British occupied Bethlehem and
other cities prominent In the story OF
the Holy Land since the time oil
Moses-such campaign, crowned with
complete success, makes Allenby stand
out as one of the great generals of the
great war"
Ills achievements touched q chord
of sentiment that appealed to all races
and classes" testifies the Manchester
Union, adding that "this campaign
assumed, in the mind of Christendon,
the nature of Crusade" and that ''for
years he had urged that Palestine
should be made into permanent hume-
land for the Jews"
The Philadelphia Record saws.
Merely to mention the land where this
campaign was waged is to open vistas
of remote antiquity, where vanished
civilizations lie buried beneath the dust
of time and speculation itself stands
baffied in the silence of the unknown
In successive ages it knew the sway OF
Israel and ASsyria and Persia, of Greece
and Rome, of Saracen and Crusader
To recall the movements of Allenby's
forces is to recreate scenes that have
enriched the annals of mankind and
changed the currents of history"

Gust to Be Crazy"

The more or less prevalent practice
Of a certain type of motorist to deco
rate his car with all manner of slogans
and signs, some of them of doubtful
propriety, is up for investigation in De-
troit. Hailed before the court for speed
ing, a callow youth was asked by the
Judge to explain the reason for his
gaudily painted automobile, which had
been described by the arresting officer
"Just to be crazy, guess" answered
the motorist. I'm that case" the judge
decided, I'VE will determine just what
variety of insanity it is. refer you
to sanity commission, which will
report one week from today"
After the commission takes this queer
creature apart to see what makes it
tick, there will probably be one less
of these effensive-looking automobiles
on the streets. This lad. if his "in-
sanity" is not of the dangerous kind,
will probably be cured by the time the
court finishes with him. In the ma
jority of cases the cars decorated in
this manner are of ancient vintage
and because of bad brakes and wobbly
steering apparatus are menace to
other users Of the highways. Couple
with this mind so distorted that it
will prompt the painting of obnoxious
slogans on the car, "just to be crazy, "
and the dangers to traffic can we'll be
realized. The Detroit Judge is to be
for his effort to stamp out
the practice.
