tion of foods and fuel. "The war must
be paid for," sas Commissioner Itoper.
"Cunnress has us much rlht lu con
script a Just portion of income as It
has to conscript our buys. The tux

"The man who Is barely making a
living or barely supporting a family
is not nffected by the 1117 law. Hut
the man who b able to bear a share
of the burden lias been reached hy
the new law, and he should accept hi;
responsibility in the same patriotic
snlril that our young men have shown
lu offering themselves for this great
puro4e of the country to make the

This tui Is one which recognizes
women as on an equal basis with men.

Similarly a widow with small chil

"Thin Ik as much u national obliga

aayM 1. C. Itoper, commissioner of In

LOVING ENOUGH?
BY ELLA WHLELER WILCOX.
Are you loving enough ? There is some one dear,
Some one you hold as the dearest of all
In the holiest shrine of your heart.
Are you making it known ? Is the truth of it clear
To the one you love? If death's quick call
Should suddenly tear you apart,
Leaving no time for a long farewell,
Would you feel that you had nothing to tell
Nothing you had said before
The closing of that dark door ?
Are you loving enough ? 1 he swift years Hy
Oh, faster and faster they hurry away,
And each one carries its dead,
The good deed left for the by and by,
The word to be uttered another day,
May never be done or said,
Let the love-word sound in the listening ear,
Nor wait to speak it above a bier,
Oh, the time for telling your love is brief,
Hut long, long, long is the time for grief.
Are you loving enough ?
MOT HRslvi A NlT
ASSET BITES HIM.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
I got to telling mother about Wilson and T. R.;
I told her Lincoln was a bird and Washington a star;
1 cracked up Andy Jackson and I might have run right on
Concerning living statesmen and the wise ones, dead and gone,
Bui mother says, "Well, yes, but some of 'em were married twice
And others did some things I don't consider very nice,
And Lincoln was a grand old man and yet I've heard his wife
And he were never happy durin' all their married life.
And as for me, I think that marriage is about the croo-cial test,
So, comparin' him with statesmen, I believe my own man's best."
I was dipping ino Shakespeare and a little bit of Shaw
With a taste or two of Tolstoi and a portion of Dumas.
From Hugo back to Homer and from Rabelais lo Riley
I cited men of letters and I eulogized them highly.
And 1 might have wandered on in almost endless exegesis,
But mother said, "Yes, some of 'em wrote very pretty pieces,
But up in our old attic, almost rill in ' half a chest,
Are some letters of your father's and 1 think I like 'em best,"
r.
I started in on Newton and I praised the men of science
From Archimedes to Edison. I called them mental giants,
I mustered Aristotle and Copernious and Watt;
I called on Galileo and Darwin and I thought
Perhaps I had her wavering, but mother said, "Well, yes,
Such men are necessary and they did some things, I guess,
But most of them were fussy and mussy in their ways,
And missed their meals and sometimes wouldn't go to bed for days,
1 couldn't stand a man whose mind just wanders round in space,
And your father's such a comfort just to have around the place."
Well, well, God bless the women! and all women of her kind;
God bless 'em, for He made 'em keen of sight and wholly blind.
While one eye sees such merit as no mortal ever had,
Her other eye refuses to see anything that's bad.
God bless 'em and God help the men, whom loyally they serve;
Cod help 'ein keep the dauntless love they never quite deserve,
Grant us each sanctuary in one woman's constant breast,
And guard the fine, old-fashioned faith, which knows her own man best,
Also a Rat Runs Up His Leg. Owls
hoot anil Well, Mr. Hell Flees
Job.
A. B. Fell, receiver for the bank
rupt estate of Irvin F. Meyers, of
McK ;esport, has applied to the
Unitt d States District Court to be
relieved of his job because an as
set bit him.
And a rat ran up his 'punts' leg
and si akes hissed at him and par
rots svore and monkeys chattered
and sciatched at him and an owl
derisiv;ly hooted at his efforts to
Kike u his official task.
The .at and ihennakes and the
monkeys and parrots and owl and
goldfish and white mice and mar
mosets ind pretty dogs are all as
sets in Meyer s pet shop in
McKee: port.
The iisset that bii Fell was a
huskey bull dog. The receiver
had vei lured alone into the shop.
The do;; grabbed his leg and the
rat "ru .lied" at him. And when j
he saw i possum peering from a I
dimly l.glued rear room, he led.
Ther he threw up the job.though
his bond is $500. j
SAHNGS 01- A SAUK. I
It is awfully hard to generate
any respect for a man who wears
a lot oc rings on his fingers.
Hubands and wives should re
member that they married for
worse as well as better and act ac
cordingly. A woman declares that she has
the best husband on earth, but that
is no sign that she expects to meet
him in heaven.
A woman who is satisfied with
her neighbor is never satisfied with
herself but who ever saw a wo
man satisfied with her neighbor?
