Seems to me that waitin’ is
the bosom triend of pain. Find
the thing exemplified in waitin’
ler a train. Feller waits fer
anything, he’s flirtin’ with de
spair, but—worst of all is
waitin’ while the barber’s bob
bin’ hair!
Feller in a hurry, mighty
anxious for a shave. Got a
million duties fer the time he
l opes to save; Mafcie beats hint
to it, which of course is on the
sqm.: '—but, Marie is a fairy
bell v It half a day to spare!
Waivin’ in the barber-shop
with bristles on yer face. Hate
to see the Beauty-Purler shove
us out of place! Might as well
be reconciled to things that has
to be, —but where we’re fetchin’
up at—is a mystery to me!

“I began taking Black-
Draught over fifty years ago
and my experience with it
stretches over a good long
time,” says Mr. Joe A. Blake
more, a Civil War veteran
and former Virginian, who is
now a prominent citizen of
Floyd, Texas. “It is the best
laxative I know of for old
people... A good many years
ago, in Virginia, I used to
get bilious and I found that
Thedford’s
BLM-81U6HT
was the best and quickest re
lief I could get. Since I came
to Texas L have these bilious
attacks every now and then—
a man will get bilious any
where, vou know —-and I find
that a'little Black-Draught
soon straightens me out.
After a few doses, in little or
no time I’m all right again.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught
is a purely vegetable liver
medicine, used in America for
over eighty years. It acts on
the stomach, liver and bowels
in a gentle, natural wav, as

NOT READING—THINKING.
JOY ON MARS.
YOUNG AT 102.
TWO YOUNG MEN.
The World Federation of Educa
tion Associations organises a
world war aguinst illiteracy. For
this war the Crown Prince of
Japan has appropriated a million
yen. China has adopted the slo
gan “China a Literate Nation in
One Generation.”
It is preposterous that any
human beings, outside of aciiial
barbarism, should grow un unable
to read.
But teaching them to read and
write is only the first step. The
next is teaching human beings TO
THINK, which is considerably
more difficult and important.
It isn’t what you HEAD that
counts. It’s what von THINK
[AFTER YOU READ that improves
government am! civilization.
It takes a Frenchman, and an
old one, Camille Flammarion, to
say that the people on Mars are
much more JOYFUL than we are.
The Martian year is twice as
long as ours. A man there fifty
years old has lived 100 years,
nearly. The climate is better and
the planet being smaller, every
thing - is lighter. An ordinary Mar
tian could easily carry his mother
in-law upstairs in his arms, won
if she weighed 400 pounds. Mil
lions of years older in their civiliza
tion than earth men, the Martians
are far ahead of us in knowledge,
and that means happiness. In fact
it’s the only solid happiness.
John A. Stewart, called “Grand
Old Man of Wait Street,” who
knew Abraham Lincoln, and is
now head of an important hank,
celebrated his 102nd birthday last
v<mk. To us, that seems old. A
thousand years hence, 12a will
Siam young as sixty is no .. Men
v. '1 die out gently like fading i vi
ligkt.
Stewart continue I'V.ng,
intellectually young, because he
has continued WO BRING. Men
like t: -• s die at the top. They
are all right while the tr.p is green.

After a while civil:-.ed human
beings will decide tl, :t rats and
mite don’t pay, and take the
trouble to get rid of them along
with mosquitoes, flies and r
nuisances that Father Noah might
well havp left out of the Ark.
An English scientist demon
strated that rats suffer from foot
and mouth disease and, frequenting
stables, infect the cattle.
Moral for farmers, use cement
and copper and keep out the rats.
Clarence Barrow, a lawyer, who
thinks and feels, and consequently
earns little in proportion to his
great ability, tells the Court that
to hang the two young men whom
he defends, Loel> and Leopold,
“would be a worse crime than
they committed.”
And that is the truth, exactly.
If a red Indian tortured a white
man for twenty-four hours, that
would not excuse white men for
torturing that red man even for
twenty-four minutes. The greater
the intelligence and responsibility,
the greater the crime.
This column, too lightly, com
pared Moses’ forty-year trip across
the desert with the four-hour trip
of a small American automobile,
and the one and one-half-hour trip
of a flying machine, across the
same desert.
Many writers send learned com
ment.
Jlyman Bodner, of Passaic, New
Jersey, says, “You needn’t wait
to get information /-om doses in
heaven. He kept the cbd iron of
Israel in the desert for forty years
because they were not qualified
to conquer the Promised Land.
They practically all died. The new
generation, >• k■ a 1 ‘ and and drilled,
led by Huslma, won their Prom
ised Laid by fighting.”
Max HimcfF, of Long Island
City, writer. ra : d that Moses had
to let his old followers die o:f while
he raise J anew generation “who
knew nothing about Egypt and
preparer! them for their task.”
('an anybody give more exact
information about the fighting
leader, liuslma?
Divers working ninety feet be
