After sizing up the hat worn by
the average man we have little
heart left to criticize the headgear
worn by the other sex.
The telegraph monotonously re
peats, day after day, that the battle
of the Aisne is growing in intensity.
How is it possible to grow any
more intense than it has been fcr
three or four weeks?
An angry reader wrote to an
eastern Kansas paper, says the
Kansas City Journal, and demand
ed to know which side of the Euro
pean war the paper was on, to
which the editor replied: “On the
outside, thank goodness.”
As Samuel G. Blythe points out
in an exceptionally well-written
article in a popular weekly maga
zine, the horrors of the European
war are not apparent now. The
war is costing 50 million dollars
every day, but it will cost millions
after peace has been declared. As
Mr. Blythe remarks, Europe has
been living over the crater of a
volcano which has suddenly burst;
the present loss is appalling, but I
think of the great loss, the awful
miseries and the sordid sufferings
that must come during the recon
struction period.
Thousands of horses are being
shipped out of America every week
for service abroad. The best stock
that money can buy is being sent
to Europe to be slaughtered for a
roman holiday. We were told a
few years ago that the horse was
doomed. It is true that the driving
horse has been driven out by the
automobile, but there is still a great
demand for good animals. We see
\ey few "skates” and "plugs”
these days, but the quality of work
horses has increased until the
American horse is an established
institution, the same as the Ameri
can dollar and the American
“hustle.”
For the manufacture of pottery
of the better grades considerable
clay, mainly kaolin, is imported into
this country from Europe and
China, the value of these imports
last year exceeding $2,250,000.
It seems probable that under the
necessity due to the war of now
finding a domestic supply these
finer clays can be in a large part
replaced. Already a process of de
coloring kaolin is reported as suc
cessful, and this may make large
deposits of kaolin and ball clay
available for the manufacture of
white ware and pottery. Arkansas
is rich in kaolin deposits and we
hope to see the industry developed
to its highest state here.
Seeking information, we read
that turpinite, the new explosive of
the French, is not a derivative of
turpentine at all, but is named for
its inventor, M. Tvrpin. And Tur
pin, we read further, is spending all
his waking hours and many of his
sleeping ones perfecting this dead
ly explosive in order to kill just as
many of the enemy as he can at
the very lowest cost. So far. he
has been successful in perfecting a
shell that, filled with the deadly
gas, will kill everything within a
radius of 400 yards of where the
shell alights after leaving the gun.
Turpin may yet prove to be the
world’s greatest benefactor. He
may be successful in wiping out
entire armies and thus, by the pro
cess of elimination, wipe out all
war.
BACK DOOR FOR MR. OVENS
After Thle Little Episode, Perhaps He
May Go There, but Some Men
Are Stubborn.
It was after dark and the French
baker was about to close his shop,
when the telephone bell rang.
"Mr. Ovens?”
“Yes, ma'am.”
“This is Mrs. Jimley of Hlckorynut
street."
“Yes, Mrs. Jimley.”
“I am giving a supper tonight and
I discover that I need half a dozen
more rolls. Could I trouble you to
send them over.”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I haven’t a
roll left In the store, nor even a loaf
ef bread. We are sold clear out to
night.”
“This Is very provoking.” said Mrs.
Jimley. “Are you sure you haven't
anything that would do?”
“There isn’t a thing in the place
that I would care to sell you, ma’am.
Hold on, though, there’s a half-dozen
fresh rolls on my own supper table
right now. I could let you have those.
If you think they would do. My kids
can eat crackers Instead; they’d rath
er, anyway.”
“Those will do very nicely, Mr.
Ovens. Will you send them over
soon, pleaBe?”
“Right away, ma’am. The boy has
gone for the night, but I’ll take them
to you myself.”
In a minute or two he stood on her
front steps ringing the bell and feel
ing well pleased with himself that he
could do some one kindness.
Mrs. Jimley opened the door and
took the packages from his hands.
Then she said, in icy tones:
“The next time you bring any goods
here, Mr. Ovens, I wish you would re
member to ring the basement bell. I
can’t have tradesmen coming to the
front door.”—Newark News.
Schoolboy Frankness.
School teachers undoubtedly have
the advantage of hearing choice bits
of humor from children. Talking with
one a short time ago, who has charge
of one of the primary grades in a
Philadelphia school, she related this
Incident: Coming Into the room she
noticed a number of wads of paper
stuck on the blackboard and. surmis
ing that one Thomas, who was quite
a mischlefmaker, was the perpetrator
of the deed, she asked: “Tommy, did
you throw those paper wads on thd
board?” and he replied: “No’m, mine
didn’t stick.”
In view of this statement there was
no subsequent Investigation as to how
many wads Thomas had thrown nor
Just when he had thrown them. The
teacher had a suspicion he hadn’t
thrown any.
They Understood.
A Boston teacher had carefully ex
plained to her class the meaning of
the word “happens.” "Now,” he said,
"If there Is anything you do not un
derstand in what I have been telling
you Just raise your hand.”
Not a hand was raised. "If you un
derstand how It should be used, who
can give me a sentence with this word
‘happens’ In It?”
Quickly a hand was raised and an
eager voice called out: "My mother
wears happens in her head.”

HIS GIRL WAS LOCKED OUT
Young New Yorker1* Race With Mov
ing Train Prove* Interesting
to the Passengers.
Indianapolis travelers, homeward
bound from New York, saw an
amusing incident recently on one
of the big trains with transcontinen-.
tal connections. About ten minutes
before time for the train to leave
the station a young man and a young
woman came aboard. After depos
iting the various grips in the Pull
man they went out on the back plat
form to say goodby. They were
busily engaged in their own thoughts.
Time for the train to get under way
arrived. When the train started the
young man prepared to get off, pre
ferring to take the last few minutes
with the girl, rather than escort her
into the car. She turned a face sus
piciously alive with tears toward the
door. She tried the handle—and
found that some industrious, zealous
porter had locked her out. The young
man discovered her dilemma as he
swung off the train. With the train
gathering Bpeed momentarily he
raced toward the front and succeed
ed in getting aboard long enough to
make the porter understand that he
had locked the girl out. When the
porter opened the door and beckoned
her in she still gazed back at retreat
ing dear old New York and the im
maculate young gentleman who, no
doubt, had her heart in his keeping.
HEALTH CURE
Dickson—Doctor, what do you
recommend as a I^enten diet?
Doctor—Cutting out everything
except the tip to the waiter.
A PROTEST.
Sir: Boeebery, at Peebles last
week, said: “George III. is supposed
to have said that Shakespeare was
‘sad stuff.’ ... I am inclined to
think no one but a crowned sover
eign on the throne would have had
the courage to make it.” I claim
Bosebery’s admiration (unless, as
is quite possible, I have it. already),
for I have said far more startling
things about Shakespeare than ever
George III. had wit or pluck to say.
I do not desire, on this occasion, to
boast, and I therefore give only my
initials as signature to this letter.
But I inclose my card, and remain,
yours, etc., G. B. S.—Punch.
WHY IT FAILED.
"Why did the elopement fall
through ?”
“We had a signal arranged. She
told me to come to her window and
make a noise like a robin. I did so.”
“Yes?”
“Then her father popped out and
made a noise like a shotgun.”
THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT.
“Trow’d he get his black eye?”
“I think he bumped a door in the
dark.”
“Ha, ha! they all say that.”
“I think that because he said a
man punched him.”
NOT THAT WAY.
"Your daughter dances with such
graceful, free movements.”
“No, sirree! Them dancin’move
ments of hers is all paid fer.”
WARNING.
“Sir, may I have your daughter’s
hand ?”
“Certainly, but be careful it isn’t
always in your pocket.”
THEIR DRAWBACK.
“Why do writers make so much of
transparent complexions?”
“I’m sure I don’t know. Anybody
can see through them.”
MEAN HINT.
“Miss Maude is quite a scientific
beauty.”
“Yes; anyone can tell that by her
hair.”
