RICH MEN ON
THE DOLE.
When the great war was over and the young
men who had borne arms for Britain were
coming home, a sudden shiver went down the
spine of the statesman ,who directed the for
tunes of the tight little island. They had
promised to make Britain a place fit for heroes
to live in. And those heroes were coming
home with the probabilty of finding their jobs
permanently taken by others and with the
prospect of tramping the streets and starving,
It was then that the unemployment dole
wag quickly thought of and quickly carried in
to execution, It was a sort of insurance
against revolution, Doublleo .bum h«*e
crept into it. Doubtl.. .it do., encourage
some young men who did not know the
.
agonies and who were too young to serve in
battle, to leaf Bather than seek work. Poubc
less the cfble is a considerable burden on the
finances of the country. With accounts of the
groans of the well-to-do Briton.
But two flagrant cases of rich men on the
national dole have lately come to light and
there has n«>t been a “peep" in the Died
Hard papers. It seems that when a man has
held a cabinet position, loses his job, is hard
tip and finds that he cannot live in a state
“befitting his position," he is entitled to ask
for and receive a considerable pension from
the state. He is on. honor to give up this
pension when his financial condition is bet
tered.
Well, not long ago a man died leaving an
estate worth a quarter of a million dollars.
He had received a pension of $10,000 a year
for 23 years. Shortly before that a man died
leaving an estate of $455,000. He had drawn
in pensions nore than $200,000. Some con
trast with the poor devil whose dole of two
or three dollars a week causes the Die-Hards
such a pain.

THE FRIENDLY DARK
(By Wiglplman F. Melton)
It is an uncommon thing, nowadays, to
find children from five^years old, up, who are
not afraid of dark. Children under four or
five are seldom afraid of the dark—unless
a nurse or some other older person has
scared them.
Just when or where fear of darkness be
gan, can only be conjectured. Our English
forefathers sturdy seafaring men, were so
fearless, in daylight, that they chose a storm
as the best time to land their frail craft on an
enemy’s coast; but as soon as night came
down and the darkness encompassed them,
they fancied that every cape, or point of land
jutting into the sea, was a monstrous serpent.
In the Good Book we read, “The night
cometh when no man can work. Doubtless
the author^ meant that our earthly labors
would then be ended; surely he did not in
tend to leave the impression that heaven is
a place of idleness—a place where a trained
soul shall not project itself into the eternal
enterprises of the spirit world.
Following, blindly, a misconceived idea, we
go on singing: "Work for the night is coming,
when man works no more. Really, wouldn t
it be better if we would learn to sing: Work
for the day is coming when our real work will
begin?"
The night, as we know it and even as we
may have foolishly learned to dread it, is our
friend. Night is the time of rest and sleep
and recuperation from the toils of yesterday;
and it is from the rest and sleep of night
that our bodies and spirits are refreshed for
the duties of tomorrow.
Those who do unconventional or evil things
are said to love darkness better than they do
light; but this is putting the burden of blame
on the friendly night—night that is so much
loved by the flowers, the trees, and the ani
mals, including man.
God made both day and night Did he
! then, after having shut off the light of day
turn the night over to Satan and his cohorts.
1 aspect that some of us are often as
thankful for the night and a warm, comrorta
bled bed, as we are for the bright morning and
» n opportunity to wort. Possibly more so.
! '< “ * *"*• ' or do ”, that, y k *“
I a little child, “If you do this, or don t
the policeman will get you or the buggarman
, you!
'will'come out of the dark and grab
Let us teach our children that the police
man and the night are their friends. And—if
we can— let’s quit singing: “Work for the
night is coming, when man’s work is done."
Leave that to be chirped or whined by the
animal that has no soul.

THE INTELLECT
OF THE FOSSIL.
SQ me men |, ave t h e intellect of a fossil,
Jheir brains—if they ever had any—have
turned to stone and they don t know it. Their
thoughts are also petrified. Their vision is all
of a past that is dead and done.
Time was when a girl who worked for a
living was supposed to “keep her place"—
whatever that might mean. She was to dress
according to her “class" which probably
meant meanly and shabbily. Not for her the
J j pretty things women adore. Not for her the
nids of | ip , tick and pu ff. She must re
main shabby
This is no fancy picture of dass of feeling,
It was exhibited in its full Beauty the
day by a London magistrate whe waxed very
indignant when he learned that a working
girl had actually spent $1.25 for a pair of
stockings and $5 for a pair of shoes, it's just
that kind of thing that makes people some
times say:
"The law is an ass!"

Saint and Sinner
Faith wanted to run to Nils, to
drag at his arms—anything to pre
,vent the crashing of one of those
i big fists against Bruce Patton’s
Switching, ashen face. But her body
was rigid with numbness. Only her
(eyes seemed to have the power to
hove and they darted, sick with
shame, from Cherry’s face, on which
Relight, triumph and terror foughi

slightly hunched, as he leaned
his victim. But scarcely had
her eyes fastened on Nils when she
saw the unbelievable happen. The
(>lond giant’s fists slowly uncurled;
he raised his hands with maddening
deliberation and thrust them into
Jiis pockets. His shoulders squared
themselves and In another moment
his laugh rang out, a strange sound
in that tense room, for the radio mu
sic had stopped and that queer laugh
{-queer only because it was hearty
|md not at all sinister—was the only
sound.
"Why should I hit you, Patton?”
Nils’ voice came at last, and Faith
(felt that she would have given a
fjreat deal to see his face just then.
“I’m afraid you have misunderstood
me. I had no intention of interfer

^ame in to say good-night. Good
night, Mr. Patton! Good-night Miss
Lane,” and he bowed first to one
and then to the other of the dumb
founded pair.
Cherry recovered speech first.
|“Don’t you dare speak to me!"
shrilled furiously. “You rotten cow
ard. You let him insult me and
then scare you into backing out of
honest fight! Oh, you—you!"
Then he smiled down upon Cher
j-y's fury imperturbably. “Sorry! But
you seemed so well able to avenge
any insult Mr. Patton may have of

terference would "have been welcome.
If I should presume to critlze your
friend, Mr. Patton I should say that
his error was one of taste.
“Oh!” Cherry wailed, throwing up
ar arm to shield her flaming face,
“Oh, I hate you, hate you!”
With her arm still shielding her
face, she turned and fled from the
room.
"I’m so sorry—” Faith began in a
low voice which was shaken with ner
vousness and revulsion from the ter
ror which had* gripped her in those
awful seconds during which Nils had
advanced upon Patton. “I’ll—I’ll get
your hat and coat, Mr. Patton.”
When she returned from the hall
clcset with the things she found
Bruce Patton was smoothing his hair
find speaking of the weather with
a smiling, friendly Nils.
“May I—drop you somewhere,
Jonson?” Patton stammered, as he
shrugged into his overcoat.
“No, thanks,” Nils answered se
renely .“I’ll phone for a taxi. Good
night.”
When the door closed upon Pat
ton, Faith dropped to the couch, her
shoulders beginning to shake with
the sobs she could no longer hold
back.
“Do you think I'm a coward, too,
Faith?” Nils asked gently as he sat
down beside her and took her hand.
“I simply couldn’t make a fool of
myself and of Patton by playing the
heavy avenging lover in that little
melodrama she’d written on the spur
of the minute. But I think I did
make her see Patton in a new light.
Ghastly how he cringed, wasn’t it?
Poor little Cherry!” He laughed soft
ly, tenderly.
