1 SUCH IS LIFE *s J Have yon heard of the poet MacSwlthln Who writes of how Joyous is life— When he’s not in his bed with a pain In his head Or having a fight with his wife. Whenever you chance on a poem Unusually full of delight Ton can tell by the glee in the lines that you see MacSwlthln has lost the last fight. Wedding bells ring frequently among the natives of southern Rhodesia. Through an Interpreter Ed Thierry asked one of the wives of a chief how he managed to struggle along with five wives. She smiled disdainfully at such ignorance and replied: 1 “Tonng white man, five wives can

support a man better than one wife can!’* . Which isn’t any merry jest among African natives. For the women do all the work all the time. Polygamy among natives Is dying out gradually. Missionary work has heaped, but the bigger factor undoubtedly Is that tribal wars are much more Infrequent and women are not eo vastly In the majority as they used to be When great numbers of men were slain In battle at regular Intervals. Wives are costing more, too. Payment for brides, called “lobolo,” was only S4O worth of cattle in 1911. The following year quotations on brides had gone up to $56. Now it is pretty close to $75. Anthony Freeman, Milford, Mass., doesn’t give a hoot for the H. C. L. Other day Anthony got on the outside of twenty-five fried eggs, four slices of toast, a pound of potatoes and two quarts of milk, all at one meal. Now the food dealers can boost the price of things some more and say Anthony is the cause of the food shortage. Maybe the dollar has dwindled In value, and the modern penny, too. But the old : fashioned penny, the big round copper, coined by the government from 1793 to 1857, Is hitting new high records. The cent of 1804 Is valued at $l5O by rare coin dealers They’ll pay $350 for a penny of 1799. Other ancient pennies bring from $lO to $l7O each. ’Member what that wise guy once said “Save the pennies and the dollars’ll take care of themselves!”

SAFETY FIRST! *Read My French Girl's Letter to Me—But Don’t Listen * A young Indianapolis man was so much of an American in every way that he didn’t even know anything about any other language except English. Hence when he received a bit of a letter from a girl be had met overseas be was nonplused. She happened to be fa French girl and her writing might MY Just as well have been “Greek” for all the young American was concerned. He took the letter to Ray Bonsib, Indianapolis athlete, who was a Y. M. C. A. athletic director overseas and speaks French fluently. Bonsib sat down and started to read the letter, when the other man asked if he couldn’t hold his fingers in Bonslb’s ears so he wouldn’t hear the love notes. Bonsib granted the request, read and smiled through the letter and promises never to reveal the contents.

KINNEY HIATT WAS CAUGHT, TOO (Continued From Page One.) Frank Recker, George Williams, Fred Brown, George Wilson. Fred Smith, Eddis Glaces and Earl Osborn, got away from the police station and were troubled no more. True it is that their cases were called before Judge Walter Pritchard the next day and true lt is that each and every one of them was fined $5 and costs for gaming. But why worry about details? Roy Wyatt settled with the clerk of thc city court for all the fines. He had been thpre before, and while, according to the official judgment of Judge Pritchard, the game was only a “social one” without a keeper, It is customary for the gamekeeper to pay the fines and Roy Wyatt, alias Smith, is no “piker.” Whether George McKinney, alias W. P. Hiatt, alias Kinney Hiatt, appeared in court or not was unknown to Prosecutor Ralph Spann. “Sure, I know Kinney Hiatt," said Ralph. “He’s a big fellow with a red face, ain’t he?” “But did he appear in court when George McKinney was fined ?" Spann was asked. “Really, now,” said Mr. Spann, “I don’t exactly know. X just called the names and they all pleaded guilty. You know liow that is.” Certainly, the reporter “knows how that is” whenever it is desired to “save the face" of a republican worker who is accidentally arrested for bootlegging or

gambling. The procedure is practically the same in all instances and there Isn’t an attache of the city court from Judge Walter Pritchard on down to the janitors of the police station that doesn’t “know how it is.” It’s all serene, today, boysi Kinney Hiatt got caught In a poker game. The records do not show lt. Prosecutor Adams made $45 out of lt, Hiatt got

Robert Miller, who Is a republican candidate for renomination, was also caught. Sure, Miller said “they can’t do that to me,” but later on it (became apparent that what he meant was that the PQ/f lice couldn’t arrest his deputies without making him sore. Brosius is still a deputy sheriff and It’s his turn to laugh at Kinney, whq laughed considerable when Brosius was caught.
