Vacation means a change a great deal of it, in fact.

Joy riding under the moon is not so funny unless one survives.

Almost anybody can forget an engagement with the dentist Yuan Shih-kai things that much of

the republic of China is under his hat.

Among the terrifying possibilities

of nomenclature is hydroaeroterreo-

pi aire. At least' Newport has cut "rag' dancing. Possibly they are doing it

for effect.

Though Cleveland is 117 years old, there is nothing decrepit about its hall playing. No one reallv feels at home in a atrange city till he gets his name in the directory. Man seeks divorce because his -wife's rat showed. Must have been a modest husband. Astonishingly few of the young "women on the rear seats of motorcycles fall off. The man who has enough patience tn loolc fnr frmr-lnnf clovers has no reason to be a bachelor. Two joy riders have been handed prison sentences. After a while the others may take the hint. The New Jersev bank that ac cepted two corsets for a loan prob ably considered them binding. Still, if there were no rain where would the dollars come from to buy tickets to. the baseball game? Having abolished the offensive placket at the top of the dress skirt, woman now wears it at the bottom. "There's No Excuse for Not Know ing How to Trim Hats." Headline. That's what every husband knows. New sun spots have lately been discovered besides those on the arms and shoulders of incautious bathers. A Chicago psstor seems to have hit the mark when he said the heart rather than wages was the cause of lin. Another pet delusion was exploded when it was proved that the soft col lar is hotter than the armor plate kind. A man who lives in a modern flat building and gets acquainted with hisJ next-door neighbor in a year is a mixer. About the only way to Inspire ap preciation of the hobble skirt is to recall the dav v. lien women wore bustles. Many wives say smart things, but that one who called her husband by her affinity's name certainly deserves credit for arousing the height of indignation. A thrice married New York man is being sued for nonsupport by his first wife. "Only he who is without a wife or has many wives rides far into the desert." Red heads may be great people, as a certain eugenic professor has proclaimed. But we know many people who would prefer to remain unknown. The Washington woman who says she was deserted by her husband on her wedding day has a just cause for complaint He should have waited a week at least. GradunT limit v.Before a stac them ' t is said, the parcel post raised to 100 pounds, will be possible to put the children and mail id moth er. Soi jno is going to spend $5,000 In Boston to see how far a street car company can carry a man for a nickel and make a profit He must not have much use to make of his money. It is only fair to the much abused cantaloupe to record the conviction that in nearly every case it would be all right and a joy to mankind If permitted to stay on the vine just a few days longer. Under a fully "reformed' system th word "chilled' would be spelled child" would it not? A shivering youngster, therefore, would be described as a child child. Slightly puzzling, but it saves two letters. Nobody has a better chance to lend money than an elevator man in a 20-story building, unless it is one In it L'utstory structure. To bo perfectly frank, we have always wondered if the Liberty Bell Is mi great a drawing card for an ex portion a it Is cracked up to be. As few accidents from sportive rocking of bonus have been reported thit Hcason, the satisfactory Inference it that the foolklller Is at last on the job.

Competition can be effectively prevented where the same men act as directors of competing companies.

Sad Time for Mother When She Realized Her Pet Had Passed Beyond the Angelic Period. Mother's darling, age four, was not to be like other boys and learn to use naughty and slangy words. He was not aiiowed to play with the older boys in the neighborhood for fear, his sensitive nature might be shocked at the language they used. One day. while mother was busy, he slipped over into the next street and played for half an hour with a crowd of older , boys. In that half hour he took a complete course in modern language. On his return mother said: "Where has my precious been?" "You should worry and get wrinkle," he cheerfully replied. "Dearest, tell mother where you learned such horrible language! ", mother exclaimed. "Aw, good night, shirt came sweetr ly from the Cupid how mouth. Then mother commenced to weep, for she realized that her angel child was just a boy after all.
