ÜN funny our language is. Pome mighty small men arc running at lurge. Strange, but every bald-headed man who we erer knew had hair on hi mind There tc no record that Adam was Jealous bet aus. F-Vf tangoed with strangers. Women make fools of souk men. And other men attend to the matter for themselves. Hospitals are apt tn become popular when equipped with nurses who are heiresses to millions Particular people no sooner get rid of chapped hands than they begin to worry about freckles. Appendicitis will ro longer be fashionable, Lloyd s having increased the premium on the risk. That music will cure Insane patients la denied by the man living next door to a beginner on the piano. Chicago has twice as many telephones as London Hut then it has at least twice as much to say.

Babies are now being aent by parcel poat. which Is another proof that It Is a very nourishing Infant industy A correspondent wants to know the difference between coffee and deml taste Why, coffee costs only B cents per cup. How Is It that so many Americans die of apoplexy when they take their regular exercise watching the baseball games? Many a couple, after settling down to housekeeping have longed for the rice that was thrown at them on their wedding day. When the Yankee hens beard what the pigtail pullets of China were doing tending their eggs to America they jumped into their job so industriously that even the middle classes ran buy an egg now and then. A practical sermon on cheerfulness, philosophy and content is preached the world by the blind poetess, Fan nie Crosby, who says on her ninety- ' fourth birthday that the feels twentyfour. To be able at such an age and under such an affliction to be able to ' preach the gospel of cheerfulness Is a mission In Itself, ant! makes a life worth living for that alone. A patriotic league of French women i hat been formed to campaign against indecency In dress and to bring fashion back from the extremes to which It ta going. With characteristic French appreciation of real values In life, the young and pretty members of the league are to start the movement in wearing styles at once moderate and pleasing. This is a kind of patriotism which none can criticise or deny women's right of leadership. Now a lecturer on children says that mothers should not have entire charge of their bablea, but that the main care of the little ones should be handed over to trained experta. Poor old Mother Nature.

Mr. Wilson said I shall not. by the use of the troops, or by any attempt at Jurisdiction, inject the power of the federal government Into the controversy, which ha produced the present situation Th settlement of that controversy falls strictly within the field of state power My duty, as I now see it. is to confln myself to maintaining a status of good order until the state can reassert its authority and resume the enforce ment thereof. I am informed that your legislature cannot be convened In time to deal r. ith this emergency, but has been summoned to convene on May fourth, nineteen fourteen I shall expect you to draw the attention of that body to the imperative necessity of immediate consideration of the whole situation and as prompt action as Is possible in the premises, in order that the use of iS. federal power may be limited within Its contemplated confines and In order that the state ma take up its duty as soon as 'ft is possible fur it to do so. The manifest disadvantages of hating two military forces under sepa rate sources of control, operating within the same localities, leads me to request you to withdraw your militia as soon as the troops of the United States have reached the scene and are ready to take over the necessary control. The Issuance of the proclamation followed a conference tn which "Rep resentatlve Foster of Illinois reported to the president his failure to obtain any concession from John D Rocae feller.
