While we think about it, it would
be a mighty hard task for the av
erage man to hide behind his wife’s
skirts these days.
Huerta will probably feel at home
in Paris if he continues his journey
to that city, as fighting will no doubt
be the pastime there for several
months. _
An exchange notes that makers
of bathing suits have gone on a
strike and wonders if it is because
they had to wear magnifying glass
es in order to see their work.
The barons of business, those
Imperial potentates, who make and
collect the styles of clothing wo
man must wear, have decreed that
the season shall begin with a short
ccat and end with a long one. If it
were the other way around, of
course, many women could save
the price of a coat and yet meet
the exacting demands of the fash
ions. They could buy the long
coat, wear it until time to put on
the short one and then simply cut
it down to suit the length. But
you never catch the style kings
asleep at the switch like that.
There is always method in their
madness, the kind of method that
passes current at the banks.
WAR.
Experts are already busy esti
mating the cost of war, but not one
has yet dealt in anything but dol
lars and cents. The real costs of
war—the dead, the wounded, the
maimed, the widows’ tears, the
crying of little children, the devas
tation of once happy homes, the
destruction of quiet villages, the
unnecessary unsettled conditions
of business—all these things no
one has yet computed or tabulated.
And no one ever will compute these
things. War is unnecessary; it is
always caused by one or all of three
things: Greed, Avarice and the
Lust of Gain. No war is holy, no
war is righteous, no war is neces
sary. _
CATACLYSMIC. ■
Chicago Tribune: The war of
nations has discovered the poverty
of language. Words are insuffi
cient for the job. The twilight of
the gods sets in; the white breed is
to disappear in a cataclysm: it is
blowing up races and nations; it is
to be as complete as the deluge.
! An eagle shall fly across Europe
and see nothing but ruins; lions
| will swim the straights of Gibraltar
and tenant the waste places.
This beggars the language and
feeble scribes merely set down that
Russia mobihzes 1,280,000 men;
that the Brittish fleet sails for parts
unknown; that mobs fill the streets
of Berlin; that Holland is under
arms; that all Belgium is in its for
tresses; that the French are ready
to move; that Austrians are across
the Servian border, etc., etc.
Only one journalist has filled the
canvass. The Cedar Rapids Eve
ning Gazette grabs a Titan's brush:
"Blood Mad Monarchs Prepare
Dread Sacrifice. Fifteen Millions
Are Facing Death. Royalty Forc
es Wreck and Ruin on Fated Lands.
Conflagration of Long Dreaded
Conflict Threatens Europe as Stub
born Rulers Play Subjects as

Huttig that the Union Saw Mill

preparation that kills them every

of all the insects, including the
hornflies, mosquitoes. roaches,
fleas, bedbugs and every other in
sect. They passed resolutions
condemning J. I. T., as they had
positive proof that it would kill
them every time.

FLYING FOX AN INDIAN PEST
Depredation* of Peculiar Creatures
Make Them Cordially Disliked
by Agriculturists.
People who have lived in India are
familiar with the long strings of fly
ing foxes which can often be seen
wending their way in single file from
their sleeping places in remote trees
to the fruit gardens upon which they
prey. These curious creatures some
times measure as much as four feet
across the wings, and have reddish
brown fur and mole colored wings.
After their nocturnal depredations
they fly away with the dawn to a tree
in some isolated place, and there rest
during the day, hanging head down
ward from the boughs in the manner
of bats, clutching the branch with
their feet. As the flying foxes gather
on the tree selected there is a tremen
dous commotion, for each newcomer
is vigorously driven off from one place
after another until he eventually man
ages to secure a perch for himself.
Those on the tree meanwhile keep
up an incessant wrangling, each en
deavoring to secure the highest and
best place to rest on. Sometimes
many hundreds of these destructive
creatures may be seen hanging from
the branches of a large tree. When
opportunity offers they are often shot,
and some of the natives consider their
flesh a delicacy, though it hardly ap
peals to Europeans. When the foxes
start their flight in the early hours of
the morning they frequently swoop
down into any water which is handy
and when on the wing do not fly in
flocks, but follow each other in single
file, flying with a peculiar, slow, meas
ured sweep of the wdng.—Wide World
Magazine.
Lukewarm Friendship.
Two Irishmen were navigating the
rough seas of Randolph street the
other night, finding it anything but j
smooth sailing. One of them, who
seemed to have a trifle less aboard
than the other, was supporting his
friend, evidently against his will. The
latter was sobbing like a child.
“Why, Pat," he cried, trying to
wrench himself loose from that gen
tleman’s grasp: “Pat, me boy, what
have I ever done to ye that you won’t
let pie fight ye?”—Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Automatic Rain Gauge.
One of the most interesting mete
orological instruments which have
been recently devised is an automat

may be left without supervision for a
period of eight days, and which will
make an accurate record of the rain
fall during that time. There is a de
mand for an instrument of this char
acter at stations where it is impracti
cable to maintain a resident observer.

dreadtd disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Cat.rrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat

by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease. and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors

An insurance official declares spin
sters live longer than married women.
Married men are also said to live
longer than bachelors. But if all men
were married, there would be very
few spinsters, and if all women were

ried men. What are we going to do
about it?—New York World.

The personal reminiscences of Baron de M&ieval, f( r
thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
bring out, as no history can, many enlightening and

and interest possible onlybectutsp he was an actual eye
witness of the scenes and incidents of which he u rites.
