blue jeans
What with, the many troubles
that have piled up, the ad
ministration in Washington is
missing a great opportunity which
lies, unperceived, under its hands,
says the Cleveland Leader.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy, has glimpsed it. but in
an uncertain and Inadequate way.
To show his loyalty to the south,
he is wearing a suit ol white cotton
cloth and he declares that h© will
continue to wear it, and others like
it, until the ending of the war re
opens the European market to the
cotton planters. The extent of his
devotion is evidenced by tbg fact
that he is fully aware of what a
•white cotton suit looks like after
It has been rained upon and of the
goose-flesh effects the zephyrs
from the Potomac produce in the
winter time.
Josephus has not grasped the
opportunity fully in that he has
overlooked the variety of cofton
cloth commonly known as blue
Jeans. That ought to answer every
purpose of patriotism and even of
comfort, for it comes in varyiug
thicknesses. And apparently he
bas forgotten the appeal which
blue jeans made once to the ster
ling democracy of his fellow citi
zens. Does he not remember the
elan and eclat wi*h which "Blue
Jeans" Williams rode Into the
hearts of his countrymen by wear
ing blue jeans and Swearing he
would never betray the common
people by wearing anything else?
The President and hi3 cabinet,
neatly but not gaudily clad in blue
jeans, would be a sight to uplift
and revivify the nation.
Mr. Wilson certainly should
look into this..
After th© shooting is over
perhapg Europe will be will
ing to put up a few "'safety first''
signs.
So they were not dumdum
bullets, after all, hut only some
thing else "just as good."
As no intimatiou has been given
that William Wied took the
Albanian treasury with him,
possibly there was 110 treasury.
The report Is being circulated
that Boss Murphy of Tammany
hall is getting out of politics. But
■why mention it when getting
things out of poitics is his
specialty?
It seems a reckless waste of
money to strew the high seas with
contact mines when submarine
boats are so fatal.
The insurrecto industry in Mex
ico is secure. Three hundred and
forty-seven children have been
born in the Mexican refugee camp
at Fort Wingate, N. M.
It is well to bear in mind that
the "embattled farmers" ou the
road at Lexington were also
"snipers."
For that matter, President Wil
son ha« disagreed with the Balti
more platform in maters much
less personal than a single presi
dential term.
In view of rhe threats made by
Russia, perhaps the Germans will
now cease calling their capital
"Bearlin."
South Africa can no longer put
on airs over West Virginia, Colo
rado and other commonwealths
that have known martial law.
No Exceptions.
"I hear that your wife is an authority
on the subject of votes for women."
"Sir," replied Mr. Meekton. "while It
may please her to change the topic
from time to time my wife Is always
an authority."—Washington Star.
Dog Ghosts.
The phantom doc specter was one of
the hnrdiest of old Euglish supersti
tions. Almost every county had its
black dog which haunted its lonely
spots and was the dread of every na
tive Most of them were regarded as
devils, but some were held to be the
spirits of human beings transformed
thus as a punishment Lady Howard,
a Devon notably of the days of James
I., for instance, was said to be com
pelled to haunt Okehampton in the
form of a dog as a punishment for her
cruelty to her daughter.
Stilton Cheese.
The secret of making Stilton cheese
was for some time confined to the fam
ily of the original inventors, who were
under an engagement to sell all they
could make to the famous Cooper
Tliornhlll of Stilton. Being thus to be
obtained of him alc#e. it received the
appellation of Stilton cheese, but it
would have been more appropriately
named Wichcote cheese, being first
made in tfiat village, on the eastern
side of ILeicestershire, abont thirty
miles from Stilton.—Loudon Standard

MLTHUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his letters as his fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty rf time. With

But we don't live so long nowadays ar.d iv. jst rf t;s hr.vo

have found that the time saved and the labor seijedVy the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who ha; writing t-> do.
Typewriting is tux or thrtt times faster than per. w riting, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it looks heller, and it :s the up-:c-fl,!e way lo
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
