The Daily Republican Every Day Except Sunday HEALEY & CLARK, Publishers. RENSSELAER. INDIANA, Have you taken 15 minutes oft to learn Esperanto? Dear, dear, when an asbestos plant burns, where does safety lie? In time to come man may evolve a blunderproof, wreckless railroad. Paris has thoughtfully relegated the hobble skirt to the museum of horrors. In the agreement between Korea ■nd Japan the latter did the agreeing for both. A Long island milkman mistook a tnule for a cow. Moral: One cannot be too careful. A determination to practise what we preach keeps us from doing too much preaching. “Kondamnfgughin,” the cuss word tn Esperanto, is ornamental, but too long for practical use. There ought to be a greater difference between civilisation and the merely complicated life. Men may beat the birds flying, but the birds don't have much trouble With their propeller blades. “A woman-hater has been captured by cookies.” More than one manhater has been won by dough. Europe cannot expect to experience a cholera epidemic and an epidemic of American tourists at the same time. In the coming sham battle of areoplanes is the contest to see which crowd of aviators hurt themselves least? Washington has displaced the eagle and has made the woodpecker the state bird. This will make Old Baldy red-headed. Occasional showers are useful, but the weather man should not go away on his vacation and forget to turn them off. It has been decided that a divorced woman is the widow of her former husband. This classes husbands with the dead ones. Married men, according to statistics, are subject to fewer accidents than are single men. Somebody is keeping tab on their hours. An Illinois man has patented a safety pin with two points. However, wearers of the gallus are still waiting for the two-headed nail. It may be marvelous, but it is human that Susie, the pet ape, should refuse chewing gum simply because her teacher tells her to? The Philadelphia man who was choked to death by a high collar died a death that ought to turn Harry Lehr and Berry Wall green with envy. Half a million in counterfeit coin has been recovered by the United States in the past year. Has any one heard of any real money being recovered? Correspondents are arguing that a lie is occasionally justifiable and a Brooklyn judge decides that “dam” is not profane. Being good is becoming easier. In Paris filet of beef is worth 50 cents a pound and only cheap cuts of horse meat are as low as 20 cents. No wonder they call it “that dear Paris." The language of the North American Indian and the Japanese contain no Cuss words. What a handicap when An aborigine hit his finger with a prehistoric ax! Canada has discovered that it has $39,000,000,000 worth of peat bogs and it is wondering how it can induce its people to use peat at a low cost in preference to coal at high cost The uncle of the King of Portugal, who saw a man killed in a street fight among ruffians in New York, is now in a position to go home and write a book about American civilization. Esperanto will never offend against the pure-food laws, unless its advocates, being merely human, revolt against its limited expressions for emotional relief. Its vocabulary does not contain a single swear word. England is now figuring on a gasdriven battleship to render obsolete •11 vessels of the Dreadnought type. People over there must sit up nights thinking of new ways to spend public money. ■■■ •• \ A Poughkeepsie man who went to California to accumulate a fortune rapidly has just returned after an absence of 51 years. The old gentleman will probably put in the rest of his days reading all the get-rlch-qulck literature he can And and giving it the ha ha.
