Heard Them, Anyhow.?Spinks, the
musician, and his wife were on their
wtjiy home from a concert and were
overheard1 discussing the merits of the
entertainment.
Tft set my teeth on edge," Spinks
said, "to hear jthe orchestra playing
Yankee Doodle' and 'Dixie* at the
satfie time." The idea Is all right, of
course, and even commendable from a
sentimental point of view, but the two
pieces, when played together, are full
of discards.**-<-> * ?
-But dldrrt-yoa notice," said his
T1Mfe,*who is something of a musician;
herself, "tbaj, where certain notes or
^as&ges would hoAte been discordant
they were.omitted from one air or the:
other and left to the drums?"
. "Of course, I noticed It," he testily
fejolned, "but t couia near me uiocords
in my mind just the same!" ,
V - .
l^oyal to His Company.?The villlage
eut-uP approached an Insurance agent
and Informed him that he was in the
moftketilor a flfty-thousand-dollar accident
policy. When questioned he admitted
that he yras a bad risk. He
owned and drove several high-powered
racing cars, he said.,
"Don't believe I'd be doing the right
thing in writing you up," the insurance
man Informed him. "Not fair to my
company. You?you often ride in
, those cars with other men's wives, I
belive?"
"Well, yes?frankly?but?"
"Well, one of those wives is min*>
and-?frankly your life isn't worth a
plugged nickel."
A Short Cut to Glory.?An officer in
4 ^Iunteer regiment in an1 aaaress
i made to his troops, offered a stirring
ullusion to the medals -worn by some
of the veterans in the ranks. One of.tho
volunteers afterward went home
ill a very thoughtful frame of mind
and the next morning he came on parade
with several medals on his breast.
Said the (Officer:
"I didn't know you had been in the
/ regulars."
- "I haven't," said the man.
jri'Jjirell, how about those medals on
your chest? They can't be yours."
"Can't they? Well, they are! My
old cow won them medals at the Castleton
County cattle show."
Wasn't Needed Twice.?Not three
months had elapsed since the death of
his wife before old Dick Gooch began
to take notice of the Widow Tilly:
Suddenly, however, the affair broke
ofT for no apparent reason. A friend
demanded an explanation.
"We've quit," said Dick tersely.
' How did that happen?"
"Well, by jinks, when a feller asks a
woman"tv marry him and she comes
at Mm with a dipper or nor water 10
throw over him, and sicks "her dawg
onto him, and calls him nine different
DjUileS and threatens to hoss-whip
htep, he'll take a hint and leave. If he
afii't a Id jit. Some folks can't take a
hint, but I can, by jinks.'
flot to Be Triflad With.?A dusky
rookie was doing guard duty for the
flCgt time. Along came one of those
officers who wear silver chickens on
their shoulders. The rookie naturally
got excited and flustered,
"Hjflt!" he yejled and then stopped.
"Well, what are" you going to do
next?,' inquired the colonel after he
had remained on the spot like a graven
image for some seconds.
"J ain't sure,* Boss," admitted the
darky. Then he added dangerously.
"But, by golly, yo' better stan* right
whah you' is till I thinks what It is
> Ise gwine t<r do." *
./ / r. . # . 1 _ ' ' . * *
Mullin's Measure.?Mr. Morgan did
not rise from his chair behind the airtight
stove' in the sitting room when
lilc wife hurried in and told him that
Mike Mullins Was in the kitchen and
wanted to see him. '
"What do* you let him 1n for?" he
asked reproachfully.
"He wants to buy a horse, that's
why," replied Mrs. Morgan. "You'd
have made a great to-do if I hadn't." 1
"No, I wouldn't," Mr. Morgan said,
< as he reluctantly rose. "I know Mullins's
sire. I can't do business with
him. He wants a cheap hoss. And I
ain't got anything I can sell for less
than $15."
The Surprise.?He'd seen the geishas
of far Japan, for he'd "sailed the
seven oceans; he'd seen the beauties
of Yucatan, all dressed in funny notions.
In Turkey he'd smoked a water
pipe as he watched the dancing fairies;
Egyptian damsels, early ripe, likewise
in Buenos Aires. Years since he'd left
the old home nest, though then the
gtrls dressed jaunty. ; He left them
dressed in their Sunday best and returned
to find t,hem scanty.
fie'd seen women galore on every,
si ore, from..Turkestan to Thibet. But
when he got home he roundly.swore:
"Hhrohlbition does not prohibit."
Rank Extravagance.?It was on an
ocean voyage. The- insurance agent,
unwilling to lose a chance of canvassing
so many prospects who could not
possibly get far away, turned loose a
flood of eloquence on a Scotchman.
"Surely," he said, "you see the advantage
of taking out a policy if for
ilothing except to cover your burial
expenses."
"Wait till we get to land, mon," retorted
the wily Scot. "I micht be lost
at sea."

in the face of a record which only involved
tax relief for the very rich
and which today reveals a gaping
treasury deficit of from $650,000,000 to
$800,000,000 during the piesent fiscal
year?"
"Docs this mean an 'aggressive' attitude

"Docs this mean an 'aggressive' attitude
in support of the administration's
record in reducing tne nign cost vi living
pledged by the last Republican
platform, In the face of the fact that
congress has Just taken the only step
calculated to greatly increase the high
cost of living by the enactment of an
unprecedented monopoly tariff?
"Does this mean an 'aggressive* attitude*
in support of the so-called
farmers' emergency tariff bill enacted
in May 1921, under the operation of
which wheat went from $1.47 to below
$1.00 per bushel and corn in proportion,
while the purchasing power of
farm products went to a level lower
than it has been within 15 years, where
it still remains?
"Does this mean an 'aggressive* attitude
with rpRiMft to the loner list of
solemn Republican promises made in
1S>20 and complete failure thus far to
redeem same?such as the failure to
re-organize and consolidate the government
departments; to establish free
Panama tolls; to adopt the Ford Muscle
Shoals proposal for the benefit of
the farmers; to create a sound merchant
marine policy; to enact a workable
foreign debt refunding act; to
effect a solution of the transportation
problem; to settle the Mexican problem;
to prosecute criminal profiteers
and suppress profiteering to establish a
permanent workable immigration policy,
to establish an international credit
and international exchange policy; to
bring all American troops back from
the Rhine; to collect tne ?:i*i,uuu,uuu
due for expenses of the army on the
Rhine; to enforce, the Jones hipping

for his refusal to do so; to settle
claims against Germany growing out
of the war; to make disposition of
enemy property seized during the war;
to provide better farm cooperation in
transportation and distribution; to conceive
and adopt any permanent policy
in settlement of any phase of our industrial
problems, to restore sound reciprocal
foreign market conditions, to
work out and promulgate any foreign
policies wnuisoever :
"Collossal Failures."
"No, the Republican national administration
will have to explain all
these collossal failures before assuming
the aggressive on any subject.
"The outstanding events In the
record of the administration thus far
are the unprecedented Republican industrial
panic of 1921-22, the unparalleled
treasury deficit of more than
J650.000.000.00, the higest level of
taxes and transportation ever known
in peace time, the long series of public
scandals, economic and social demoralization
and utter lack of any definite
permanent foreign or domestic policies.
"The only sort of plea Republican
leaders now offer for this amazing
record of non-achievement is that
the administration could not effect
a r>\r roal oronmnlifihrnpntfl dlirlner t ho
past two years on account of the
nature of conditions existing when
the Republicans were voted onto power
in 1920. This spacious plea cannot be
invoked for the reason known to every
farrper, laborer, and business man, that
the Republican administration, either
through unwillingness or incompetency,
has made no sort of effort to carry out
the long list of pledges I have just
enumerated. The strongest attitude
Republican national leaders can possibly
assume in this campaign is one
of apology for their many broker
promises, and a renewed pledge thai
if continued in power they will dc
what they have failed to do during
the past year and a half and that is
they will at least make an effqvt tc
carry out these pledges during the
next two years.

ig Evangeline Jn the pageant based
the townsfolk of New Iberia. La.,
issed it seemed like the ceasing of
omy which is passing over the country
as a result of Ihe economical depression,
says a Tokio dispatch. Viscount
Makln, minister of the imperiul
household, has decided to reduce the
number of ladies-in-waiting, who it is
alleged, exceed in number the requirements
of the empress and the imperial
princesses. The system of coi*t ladies
now in vogue was established in
the early years of the Meljo era, and
has never been changed. There are 18
high class ladies, 30 ladies of han-nin
rank, 10 ladies accorded han-nin privileges,
and altogether about 140 employes.
These women rank as follows:
The shoki, of the shin-nin rank-imperial
appointment, tenji, gon tenki,
shoki, gon shoki, myobu, gon myobuu
all of whom are high-class ladies of
the imperial court; (the joju and gon
joju, who are of the han-nin rank.
Each of these ladies has from one to
several women employed as servants.
These formidable court ladies have
held sway in the section of the impe- i
rial household where, imen are not per
mlttcd to control. The majority came
from the families of-titled nobility, the
priests of tho Kamo, the Sumiyoshi
and other notable Bhinto shrines or
other distinguished families. The ladies
above the rank of Myobu were
given the names of Genji, while ladies
coming from titled nobility were given
the mimes of two characters and those
from the samurai families names of
one character. The salary of the first
class teni is 5,000 yen a year and that
of the second class 4,000 yen, which
is larger than many of the officials of
the imperial household department.
As the prince regent aims at economy
oil his household, the minister of
tho irf^criol house is reported to have
a neV system of court ladies. It is
udcr^ood that ,the number of ladies
will be limited to five or six. The
choice of the ladies to serve the imperial
court has been entrusted to j
Baron Omori and Count Chinda, the i
two chief attendants on the empress j
and the prince regent respectively.
