Virtue is a fault with some peo
ple. _
A man will work hard for a soft
snap. _
The man with nerve hasn't
nerves. _
The object of the “labor” move
ment is mainly “less labor.”
The busy man doesn’t figure
much in the mayor's court news.
It only take transposition of two
letters to change marital to martial.
It’s not a question of how much
the Turks have got out of this war,
but how far.
• Pershing is one of the most ex
peditionary generals that this coun
try has ever had.
All microbes not otherwise dis
posed of are said to hibernate in
the hotel hair brush.
The world is a mirrow and it is
well that so much of the bad
is withheld from view.
Love is blind, but that fact
does't seem to have abnormally de
veloped any of the other senses.
After a man has taken about
twenty eye-openers, he should be
able to see the error of his way.
There are two stages in a man's
life when he acts like a dunce.
Once is when he is a boy—the sec
ond, when he has a boy.
The ordinary woman’s vocabula
ry runs about 400 words —but
sime surprising results are ob
tained from intensive cultivation.
The way in which we dug up the
Liberty Loan and the Red Cross
fund simply convinces Germany
that the United States is a nation
of money diggers.
No doubt the Chicago Tribune,
will soon forget all about the East
St. Louis riots in which 200 ne
groes were killed, and go right
ahead lecturing the "South” for its
treatment of the negroes.
In the drive for 70,000 men to
f:il up the regular army, Illinois de
livered more than its quota, prov
ing that there are more patriots in
ll.inois than Mayor Thompson of
Chicago and some people in the
city hall have any conception of.
Flags are cheap, and it is beauti
ful sight now to see the red, white
and blue of “Old Glory” waving
from farm porches and varandas.
Why not invest a quarter or so in a
small flag the next time you go to
town and so help advertise the pa
triotism of our country folks?

The dead letter division of the
postoffice department is really a
very lively institution, with a great
deal of work to perform. Doubt
less, much of it comes from newly
arrived members of our foreign
population, though no little is due
to American carelessness. Last
year it handled 10,839.890 letters
and package, containing more than
two and a quarter million dollars in
checks, drafts, money orders and
cash. All of this money was re
turned to the owners with the ex
ception of $53,665, for which no
owners could be found. This
amount, together with $11,000
collected by charging a cent on
each advertised letter that found a
claimant, provided sufficient reve
nue to cover practically all the di
vision’s expenses.

Assistant Chief J. A. Evans, of
Washington, D. C., C. W. Watson,
state agent of Little Rock, with W.
T. McKell, county agent, made a
tour of the county last week in
vestigating the boll weevil condi
tion. They report weevils more
numerous than a year ago. The
extreme hot weather has held
them in check. Mr. Evans, who is
a weevil expert, says that the
weevil can still be controlled by
continued cultivation. His advice
is to cultivate cotton until the bolls
are full grown and almost ready to
open. Cotton is worth such a high
price that it will only require a very
small increase per acre to justify
the additional cultivation.
One of the Reasons.
She had just
been shown
through the pris
on.
“I don’t won
d e r,” she snid
with n sigh, “that
so many of us
have to remain old
maids when they
keep shut up from
the world so many
handsome and
bold men.”
For Bigger Crops.
“My wife made a suggestion last
night.”
“What?”
"To relieve the scarcity of potatoes
this year, she said that instead of
planting them in hills they ought to
be planted in mountains.”
The Way of It.
“Do you always i£ve your wife her
own way?”
“No.”
“How do you manage it?”
“I don’t. She takes it.”
Not Knocking at All.
“I wanted to talk to you yesterday.”
“Why didn’t you call rue on the tele
phone?”
"It wasn’t important enough for me
to go to ail that trouble.”
Quite Cc
“The 'man you
see walking yon
der is the author
of our most popu
lar standard
works.”
“Indeed! What
has he written?”
“Nothing. II e
makes flags.”
Cause and Effect.
■“That young fellow evidently thinks
he Is a big gun. What makes him act
so?”
"Maybe It is because he is going to
be fired.”

Opinions.
Every man’s entitled to opinions of his
own.
He has a right to think ’em out and
make 'em widely known;
But when you feel an impulse to arise
and have your say.
You want to choose your time an* keep
from gettin’ in the way.
When Noah built the ark the skies above
were blue and soft.
That's why the wicked neighbors gather
ed round the place and scoffed.
And Noah said: ’’If you won’t work, why
go ahead and play.
But don’t stand round conversing when
you're simply in the way!"
Another man’s opinion is as good as
yours or mine.
But when there's work that must be done
keep still and fail in line.
There are times when duty calls us to be
i silent and obey—
Opinions are not worth a cent when they
are In the way.
—Washington Star.
Uniformity of Thought.
No one who has truced the current
of human thought from the earliest
sources revealed to us down to the
present time can fall to be struck
with Its uniformity, writes John Adams
Dlx. Indeed, the writers In suceedlng
ages seem, at first glance, to be but a
succession of plagiarists; and yet they
are evidently, on a closer view, uncon
scious imitators—constrained to be so
because the current of thought in ull
that relates to the abstract runs for
ever in the same channels. Thus the
utterances of the present are little
else than echoes of the voices of the
past. There are passages In Cicero
almost word for word like others in
the Psalms of David, and In St. Paul’s
epistles word for word like others In
the words of Cicero.
Elevators of Ancient Days.
The earliest mention of a device in
any way resembling the modern ele
vator or “lift” may be read In Vitru
vius, who describes a hoisting machine
which was Invented by Archimedes.
This elevator of the second century B.
C. was worked by ropes which were
colled upon a winding drum by a cap
stan and levers. The same writer re
fers to another similar machine which
was made to rotate by a man who
walked Inside the capstan. Such a
primitive elevator Is still In use to lift
passengers and freight from the first
to the second story of a convent on
Mount Sinai.
Just So.
“You are constantly surrounded by
Jesters, sir.”
“Yes, always got my wits about me,”
responded the king, who was some
thing of the sort himself.
Time flies, but gets no further
away from the lazy plodder than
from the hustler.
