SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
By F. A.

Tili: QUKSTIOXKK. WHEN Shakespeare wanted to express the trat'dy Involved In tin? nuflln out of the life of his most intellectual character. h 1 1 it by trieM words, "The rest H silence." He rnlKht have put It In another way, by raying tliut Hamlet would ask no more questions. Tor that was his mos disconcerting habit. Keeping silence before a puzzling world, and a puzzling universe, is something that man has never done. The human being who just asked the reason for the. first nightfall and the tirht uppearunce of the stars Hood on the threshold of all modern scientific investigation. So, If It were necessary to find a definition of man which would differentiate him from all the rest of creatures, it would be sulliclent to say of him: "He is the animal that asks questions." Uudyard Kipling In a striking line talked of "the law of the Jungle." The writers of fables have not pulled the long bow in attributing to the beasts the sense of justice, even If they were making fun of society In doing so. So the lion stands for the maker of rules, and the monkey for him who evades them. So law Is not peculiar to the children of Adarn. Th animals know political econ omy. Go to the ant thou sluzgard said King Solomon. This little creature shows what can be done through the organized efforts of thousands of insects, whose operations could be stopped in a moment by the foot of a passing giant in the nhape of a mischievous boy. So business organization is not exclusively human. It is impossible to look at the combs of a hcehhe without realizing that the creatures who made It know geometry and architecture. The cells are so constructed as to pivo the maximum of strength with the minimum of expenditure in the way of material. So the r.rooklyn bridge, or the dome! of St. TeterX Is not a proof of human : suHriorlty. - Then is a solitary engl to be setm j everv dav, Soaring over a lake in west- i ern Ontario. ( Mice he had a mate. ! Hut she disappeared one winter. Since then the widower has never married. The natives say that it is the .habit of these, birds to be perpetually true I to their first and only love. ; So contancy is not the exclusive virtue of our race. When Christ wanted to express his affection for Jerusalem, he could think of nothing better to say than that he would have gathered its people1 about him, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. This timid bird will face any peiil if she thinks that her young are in danger. In the same way the hear of the X' .1 1 . ..!.!..!. .. .Ml .1.. I .

WALKER and petted him had been sent to the. hospital. The' animal would not take food from a stranger. So fidelity and gratitude are not confined to the lords of creation. But there Is no reason to believe that the; beasts of the jungle that have their hunting laws, or the ants that lay tip their store for winter, or the bees that know practical geometry, or the eagle that mourns his dead wife forever, or the hen that protects her chickens, or 'the bear that is fearless of rifles, or the raccoon that is faithful to his master, ever asked any questions about the why and wherefore of things. On the other hand, from the dawn of history, we find man worrying over the riddle of the universe. This too in spite of the fact that, even in the beginning of things he felt that he would never ! abb; to solve it. So he Invented language to convey his questions to his neighbors and alphabets to write them down for his children. lie invented mathematics In ord"r to compute the motions of the stars.

LYRICS OF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
GEE AND HAW. A KELLA 1 1 had a pair of mules That knew no taws and knew no rules Hut geed for haw and hawed for gee And went contrary gener'ly. The darnedest mules you ever see. If hotlrhud geed when it was haw, While that ain't just exactly law. It would of worked out purty good. If once the thing was understood And they done what you thought they would. Hut not thec two. If old July. When you yelled "gee," to gee would try. Old January, 'tother one, Observitf what July had done, Would start to hawin' on the run. .So gee and haw and haw anil gee. Hut never simultan'ously. They went through life, and kicke! more dirt And done les work and done more hurt Than two hyenles, I assert. And I've seen folks just like theiu mules, Who wed. but never read the rules. Who didn't know you ha J to wear The marriage collar fair and square And pull together everywhere. One can't have haw and one have geV: To gis or haw you must agrre And then go forward, gee or haw. Accordingly, without no jaw And that's good sense, and that's good law. .(Copyright). r t : ; 0 THE ROMANCE OF WORDS BLIGHTY." T II U ni;tiiler of slang words and phrases which have slipped into the language by reason of the Habel which resulted when men of many nations gathered in the great melting pot of the allied army is jt long one, but one of the mos't typical is "blighty" the English colloquial equivalent for "home." Frior to the commencement of the recent great World war the majority of the British army was stationed in India and much of their slang consisted of words and phrases adapted from the language of the natives. "F.elait" is a common Indian name for England, and. as if to add another parent to the ancestral tree of "blighty," the inhabitants of Hindustan speak of "home" a "bhilati." The similarity of the two expressions naturally impressed the F.ritish soldier, and it was not long before he corrupted them Into "blighty" using it as a noun when he referred to his native soil and as an adjective when he wanted to express something connected with his return. A "blighty wound." therefore, meant an Injury serious enough to necessitate being sent back home to England While the word failed to gain great popularity among the American woldiers, It appeared with considerable frequency in stories and reports from the front ami will doubtless be used far more widely than before.

At Least J. A. White Would Bet So, After Being Relieved of Dyspepsia by Tanlac. "My wife and myself have had stomach trouble," says Mr. J. A. White, residing uu the Leest own Bike. B. K. I). No. 0, near Lexington, Ky "and have both been nervous and run down. "We could not see anything without suffering afterwards arid could not sleep at night. We were regular nervous dyspeptics. We tried many remedies without permanent benefit until we heard of Tanlac. I got tlds medicine and began using it. We noticed immediate, results. We are both greatly Improved by Tanlac. We give all credit for the change of health to Tanlac. It is a remarkable medicine. "I personally feel so good that I told my hands a day or two ago that I could beat any of them shucking corn. I meant it and believe I could have heat 'em all." Of all the maladies that afllict humanity chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr. and Mr. White suffered from, is probably the most prevalent, and hours might.be consumed in describing the sufferings, mental and bodily, of the victims of chronic dyspepsia. A morbid, unreal, whimsical and melancholy condition of the mind, aside from the nervous physical suffering, is the usual state of the average dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely worth living. Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was designed especially for overcoming tlds distressing condition and millions of people have taken it with the most astonishing and gratifying results. It seems to go straight to the spot, toning up and invigorating every organ of the body. Sold by leading druggists everywhere. Advertisement.

Day Would Be Spoiled. Hugh received a bright red vest D a birthday present. A few days later his auntie died and his mother told him that he must go to the funeral. Thinking it a good occasion to wear bis red vest for the first time he asked his mother for It. "Why, you can't wear this bright red vest at a funeral, my boy. when everybody wears black." .Standing straight before his mother, he replied with great determination: "If I can't wear my red vest then I won't have any fun at the whole funeral !"

Special Care of Baby, That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. CtYour Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must bo prepared with even greater care than Baby's food. A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived. Make a mental note of this: It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups.
