who ought
to be rosy-cheek
ed, star-eyed and
full of the beauteous
vigor of sweet young
maidenhood, require the
utmost care from wise and
watchful mothers. There
comes a time when nature
m u s t be assisted. And
such a time calls for

sands of suffering women
for half a century. Sold

THE PASSING SHOW
M. MONTE.
There is a tremendous amount of
more or less maudlin tears being
sprinkled about because, forsooth,
Mr, Wilson tied a c&n to a certain Mr.
Lansing, and invited him to chase
himself. It would appear that the de
parting gentleman had been function
ing in sundry and divers ways that
did not appertain to the job he was
filling; in fact he was mare than fill
ing it, he was sloshing over. All went
well untill he took the end seat, re
served for Presidents, put his feet on
the table, and told the boy to page a
bunch of other -Secretaries of this and
that, and tell 'em to hustle in and
hear something. Also, we may assume,
Uncle Woodrow heard thinf3 also,
and there you are. Public individuals
with a good and promising job should,
whenever they discover they are a
bit larger than the fellow at the top,
grasp their ego firmly and chloro
form it before it's too late.
Not only are there tearful ones
abroad anent this matter, but also
there are querulous folk who want to
be shown, and they are finding con
siderable pleasure in attributing va
rious deficiences to the President, of
which the canning incident is proof.
These possessors of large charity are
wasting a lot of warm and sultry air;
that think-box from which eminated
the peace treaty and sundry other
things is working fine, as we shall
see.
But critics were ever of the same
breed and non-essentials. They be
long to a loud -and vociferous tribe
of humans, whose habit it is every age
and every clime, and. speaing broad
ly, may be termed an unnecessary
evil, and usually an unmitigated nui
sance, as well. It may be that, like
potato bugs anl fleas, they have their
uses, but neither scientists nor arch
iologists have been able to determine
what-
Should you meet one, you will
without doubt discover a genus homo
developed largely from the eyebrows
downward, emittinsr raucus and dis
concerting noises. To become profi
cient as a critic, one should suffer
from loco ataxia in the coco, compli
cated with chronic inertia in both
hands and feets, since he must never
do anything but advise George how
to do it.
Things locally are looking up.
Never was the spring crop of candy
DntipA no nlenteoua. UnfortunatelV,
however, the percentage of those who
succeed will be extremely disappoint
ing. As a rule some fifty percent
or so of the entries make the trip,
but it is evident that to expect more
than twenty five percent to reacn tne
goal is to invite disappointment.
The privilege of presenting free
passes to the county roads appears
to be most popular, at this writing,
with that of. ornamenting the top
of town's letter paper running sec
ond. We shall perhaps have to elect
a couple of hunters for lard cans, so
as to be in position to furnish the
alleged new county with some one to
collect taxes.
All of this, it may added in pass:
ing, is embarrassing to the voters
It is a case of. "We could be happy
with either, were tother dear chaim
er away." We dislike to disappoint
a really enthusiastic gentleman who
sprints along the political asphalt to
the rear of a fleeting office, but real
ly it can't be helped, since we have
but one lone vote. ' Personally, we
shall be for the individual who will
build some houses and business blocks
hereabouts. No we didn't say a thing
about bridges, we are on this side
of the river.
