ALL OF MAYOR G HENSIVE" SUBWAY RECEIVE Tuesday, April 7, 1914, will long be remembered by the old time machine politicians, for on that day almost one hundred and sixty thousand women, for the first time in this city, voted at an Aldermanic election and with their ballots they came mighty up turning everything politically up-side-down, but to be honest and fair they must be given great credit of exercising their elective franchise in most instances with rare judgment and for one we firmly believe that they will soon learn to take to politics as easily as ducks take to water and the world will not come to an end this year because of the fact that women have forced themselves into politics throughout the state of Illinois. It is time that they wrought much damage among many of the Aldermanic candidates, which caused many of the old leaders in the city council to fall mighty hard on the outside of the fire line; and such aldermen as Melville G. Holding, 32nd ward; Henry P. Bergen, 31st ward, and Jacob A. Freund, 25th ward, were deserving of re-election, and it is to be very much regretted that they all fell by the way side. Alderman William J. Healy had no trouble on his hands in the 18th ward, while William F. Schofield failed to make it in the 21st ward—being a first-class business man it is predicted that he would have made a creditable city father. To come right to it, the greatest Aldermanic fight was in the second ward, where a hot three-cornered fight was made on Alderman Hugh Norris and the people residing in all parts of Chicago were greatly interested in its final outcome and for sometime it appeared as though the opposition candidates had him a going in good shape, but with the great aid which The Broed Ax rendered him enabled him to sweep through his ward like a streak of chain lightning brushing or trampling down all opposition under his large feet and to the great surprise of those who were engaged in bitterly fighting him he carried 14 out of the 20 pre- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY cinets, which are almost wholly populated by Colored people. He received 6911 votes, 4690 men voting for him and 2,221 women recorded their votes in favor of his return to the city council. Alderman Norris, for being honest and faithful in discharging his duties as a city daddy in the past, came mighty near receiving more votes than all of his opponents combined, his plurality being 3,722, making it utterly impossible for any kind of a contest to be made on him in an effort to unseat him. Charles A. Griffin made a good run, receiving the votes of 2,007 men and 1,182 women voted for him which gave him 3,189 votes all told, causing him to run far ahead of Thomas T. Hoyne, the Democratic candidate who only received 2,478 votes and S. P. Gary, the Progressive candidate, had to his credit votes to the extent of 1,719. No doubt many honest Colored men and women living in the second ward did not know that Mr. Griffin was simply put to or coached for the special purpose of defeating Alderman Norris, he was being used by a few Democratic and sore-headed Colored Republican politicians, who are devoid of all political influence and decent standing anywhere, as a cat's paw for the sole purpose of assisting to elect Mr. Hoyne, the Democratic candidate, but their high handed bush-wacking scheme fell flat to the ground and it is more than amusing to note that Mr. Griffin received more votes than the Whit e Irish-American Democratic candidate, Mr. T. T. Hoyne, received, and that was the biggest joke of the Aldermanic election. One Irish-American admirer and warm follower of Mr. Hoyne excused in our presence the morning after the election that "he would rather have lost one hundred dollars than to have a Naggar to beat a White Irish-American at the polls." At the present stage of the political game it must be admitted that t the Rev. Honorable Archibald Ja ekson Carey, Ph. D. D. 'D', the Rev. Je hn F. Thomas, the Hon. Edward H. W, right CHICAGO, APRIL 11, 1914 the Rev. T. A. Smythe, the Hon. W. A. Wallace, the Hon. Edward H. Morris, the Hon. Shadrack Benjamin Turner, the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, the Hon. James W. Brewington and all the other high and low priests who supported candidate Griffin for purely selfish motives have beat it to the tall timbers. At the same time the Hons. Oscar DePriest, Edward D. Green, Robert R. Jackson, Louis B. Anderson, A. H. Roberts and the other active Colored supporters of Alderman Norris continue to wear a broad smile which will not fade away. Alderman John J. Coughlin put Miss Marion H. Drake out of the running in the 1st ward and he was re-elected to the city council with a handsome majority at his back. The voters seemed to distrust the honesty of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, for they knocked all of his pet measures into a cocked hat, including his "comprehensive subway."

The following is the election calendar for the remainder of 1914 and the Aldermanic contest which has just closed, was nothing in comparison with the fighting and scrapping, knocking down and dragging out, among the politicians, many of them who will be dead ones, after it is all over and all of this is to follow in the wake of the Aldermanic contest.

THE OLDEST REPUBLIC IN THE WORLD The tiny Republic of San Marino, with its 32 square miles of area in Italy and its 10,000 citizens—the oldest republic in the world, having been in existence for over a thousand years—has become involved in a full-fledged war with the Holy See. It provoked hostilities by enacting a law recently confiscating all ecclesiastical property within its borders in defiance of the stipulations of its treaty and concordat with the Papacy. The latter has declined to recognize the laws, and has threatened the members of the San Marino government with excommunication and the entire territory of the republic with pontifical ban and interdict if any attempt is made to enforce the spoliatory laws. The fact of the matter is that the small republic is in financial difficulties, having been deprived by the protest of the Italian government of its principal sources of revenue, namely, the lottery and the sale of titles of nobility and of orders of knighthood. The sale of these titles was until a few years ago carried on openly, deliberately and avowedly, the dignities on sale comprising everything from dukedom and princedom down to hereditary knighthoods and decorations. San Marino was the only government to carry on this trade, with a fixed tariff rate for each title, and there are a large number of individuals, including many Americans hailing from the northern and southern portion of this hemisphere, who are parading around with nobillary honors obtained by means of purchase from the Republic of San Marino. The revenue thus obtained was very large, and a portion of it was devoted to the maintenance of the local hospital, home for the destitute, aged and foundling asylum, the inscription over the gates being to the effect that it was an offering of "human vanity to human weakness." According to tradition the republic was founded by Saint Marinus during the persecution of the Christians under Emperor Dioceletian. The Monastry of St. Marino dates back to the seventh century, and in the dungeons of the castle the famous impostor Cagliostro breathed his last in 1705. No. 29 BOOST." CREEN ess.

Liberia-Its Natives, Its Vast Resources and Future Extraordinary Possibilities Vividly Dilated Upon BY PROF. FREDERICK STARB, THE MORE THAN DISTINGUISHED AN- THROPOLOGIST OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. IN AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE AT THE CHICAGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN 1912 HE MADE HIS LAST TRIP TO LIBERIA, CONSUMING 21 DAYS IN TRAVELING THROUGH ITS INTERIOR ON FOOT WHERE WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS HE WAS WARMLY RECEIVED BY THE NATIVES. HE FOUND MANY OF THEM LIVING IN MODERN OR ADVANCED STATE OF CIVILIZATION. HE URGED THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE COME MORE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN LIBERIA AND ITS PEOPLE CLAIMING THAT IT IS THE GARDEN SPOT OF THE EARTH. SUITABLE IN EVERY WAY FOR THE ERECTION OF A GREAT AND LASTING REPUBLIC ON THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA, WHICH COULD BE DOMINATED OVER AND ITS DESTINIES CONTROLLED EXCLUSIVELY BY HIGHLY EDUCATED PERSONS OF AFRICAN DESCENT. It is far beyond our ability to convey to the minds of the many readers of this paper the slightest conception of the immensity of the Liberian exhibition which closed last Saturday evening at the Chicago Historical society, West Ontario Street and Dearborn Ave., and the illustrated lecture, very interestingly delivered by Prof. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago, on that same evening who is one of the most distinguished antropologists residing in any part of the wide world. At the very start Prof. Starr gave a short and interesting sketch of Liberia and the formation and the early history of the American colonization society, which was founded in Washington, D. C., in 1816 for the purpose of moving free black men to Africa and forming a colony there. The society was violently opposed by the abolitionists and was principally composed of slaveholders, who felt that the free blacks would be a menace to the preservation of order among the slave class. Among the early presidents and prominent officers of the organization were Henry Clay, Commodore Stockton, who won his laurels later in the Mexican war; James Madison, James Monroe, Bushrod Washington, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a nephew of George Washington; Francis Scott Key of "Star Spangled Banner" fame; John Randolph, and many other fathers of our early history. Land was obtained from native chiefs by purchase and trade, and in 1820 the first shipload was sent out; but the expedition was ill-fated, and almost all the colonists died of the fever. The first colonists were blacks who had purchased their freedom, or had been freed for faithful services, or liberated by the wills of their dead masters, or taken by United States government ships from slave trading vessels trying to smuggle their human freight into the country in defiance of the edict of 1816. The pioneer settlers, between the hostility of the natives and the hostility of the climate, had to undergo as many hardships and privations as the Pilgrim fathers who came over in the Mayflower. One of the great men of the early days was Jehudi Ashmun, a White agent sent out by the society. He saved the little colony from extermination by the natives, who made two severe attacks during his office. In the first of these attacks 900 natives surrounded the camp, but were put to flight, 200 of their number being killed by the settlers, whose entire force numbered thirty-five, of whom six were native youths under 16 years. [Name] *PROF. FREDERICK STAER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO One of the greatest educational instructors in America, whose illustrated lecture on Liberia and its people at the Chicago Historical Society last Saturday evening was highly edifying and very instructive. Prof. Starr let it be known that in 1840, after the settlers had undergone all kinds of hardships and after they had experienced all kinds of political trouble—they, the early settlers, were forced to levy custom duties, but France and Great Britain refused to recognize a benevolent society as having the right to levy duties on shipping and foreign trade and the final upshot of their difficulties with Great Britain were that she finally seized a Liberian trading boat. It was then that the American colonization society cut loose from the former slaves of America and left them to shift for themselves in a barren wilderness on the west coast of Africa. They continued to drift along as best they could until 1847, at which time they, the Liberians, called a constitutional convention on June 25th, 1847, and on July 26th of that same year the Declaration of Independence was duly proclaimed and the constitution adopted. Its first President was Joseph Jenkins Roberts, who was a mulatto, who was born in slavery in Virginia, who had honorably served as governor for the colonization society for six years. He was President of Liberia for eight years and he was recalled to office when a very old man for the sole purpose of settling some grave difficulties which no one living knew how to handle as well as himself. The following was the first motto to be deeply drank in by the Liberians, namely, "The Love of Liberty has Brought us here." Great Britain was the first great power or country in the world to recognize Liberia as a free and independent republic. "The constitution is largely patterned after our own, but there are some important differences. Slavery was absolutely prohibited from the start within the limits of the republic and there is only one bad or narrow feature about it and that is that its citizenship is confined to Negroes or persons of Negro descent. A voter must not only be a Negro, but he must hold property, as they are forced to do in Mass., and in many of the southern states. The government consists of three branches—executive, legislative and judicial. The President and Vice-President hold office for four years. The Legislature consists of a Senate, with eight members, two from each county, and a House of Representatives, with fourteen members. There is a Supreme Court, with a chief justice and two associates, and Circuit Courts, with rotating judges, under the supervision of the Supreme Court. Daniel G. Howard is the present President of Liberia and S. G. Harmon is the Vice-President. The flag of Liberia, which was among the many interesting exhibits, has six red stripes with five white stripes alternately displayed, and in the upper angle of the flag a square field of blue with a single white star in the center. "To understand the Liberian situation it is necessary to know something of the elements that make up its population. Liberia has a coast line of 350 miles and an area of 43,000 square miles, a little larger than the state of Ohio. There are three elements in the population. The Americo-Liberians, the descendants of American freed Negroes, number from 12,000 to 15,000. They speak English, conduct the government and are the civilized portion of the population. For the most part they live in small settlements along the coast or on the banks of the rivers, a few miles inland. Then there are about 30,000 coast-natives, who, although not descended from the original American blacks, speak English, and come in frequent contact with the outside world. Back of these are more than a million natives. They speak no English, but only their native tongues. They consist of a score or more of different tribes, although they can be divided linguistically into three or four great groups—the Kru, Mandingo, Gola and Gbele. "The natives live in little villages, with independent chiefs, and maintain their own tribal customs. Many of the tribes still practice cannibalism, all of them are polygamous, and domestic slavery exists among them. In the western half of Liberia Mohammedanism has taken hold of the Mandingo and Val tribes. We can understand what it means to govern this diverse population if we took the town of Bellaire, Ohio, divided its population into about a dozen towns along the Ohio river, and then dotted the whole state with villages of Indians, numbering 1,000,000, each village under an independent chief and speaking its own language. Then add to this that the population of Bellaire has the burdens and responsibilities of a nation among nations, and some idea of the difficulties under which Liberia labors may be ascertained. It will be recalled that Prof. Starr made his last visit to Liberia, accompanied by Campbell Marvin, also of the University of Chicago, in September and October, 1912, that he spent 21 days of that time in traveling through its interior on foot, where with few exceptions, he was royally-received by the natives—many of whom he found living in a modern or advanced state of civilization. They, the natives, gave him every opportunity to carry on his investigations, to gather in all kinds of very valuable historical objects and to collect data and other material for his new book on Liberia and its people, which he published a few months ago. One of the most interesting objects which Prof. Starr brought with him from Liberia, which attracted much attention during the exhibition, was a dark blue robe, richly and elaborately embroidered in intricate designs; near it is an engraved card with the official shield of Liberia at the top, which reads: "The President and Mrs. Howard cordially invite you to be present at the Executive Mansion on Wednesday evening, October twenty-third, nineteen hundred twelve, at seven thirty o'clock, to meet Professor Frederick Starr of Chicago University." After the reception President Howard wanted to present some piece of native work to Professor Starr, and so he gave him the robe Vice-President Harmon wore on the second day of the inauguration, Jan. 2, 1912, the day set aside for the officials of Liberia to dress in native costume to meet the chiefs gathered from all parts of the country, and thus cement the friendship with the tribes in the interior. In concluding his highly instructive lecture on Liberia he stated that "he started on his tour through the interior of that country in the rainy season; that for 21 days he and his 25 companions did not have one stitch of dry clothing on them; that for several days they walked or waded through water, single file, up to their arm pits; that by the aid of a grape vine they crossed the raging streams on logs which were thrown across them, that sometimes the logs sinking deep down in the water on one side of the stream and gradually rising on the opposite bank." Prof. Starr has the distinction of being one among a few White men, or Colored civilized men, for that matter, who have been able to withstand the hardships incident upon penetrating so far into the interior of Liberia. In winding up, he urged the Colored people of the United States to become more deeply interested in Liberia and its people, contending that it is the garden spot of the earth, that it abounds in all kinds of wealth; that nature and the climate are willing to do their part in aiding enterprising men to bring forth its various products, including gold, silver and diamonds.

Soon be time to get out the window screens and see that they are in readiness; fly time will soon be here. And don't forget that with your neighborhood kept free from manure piles there will be no flies. In fact the most effective way to swat the fly is to swat the places where it breeds.

And once you have it cleaned up see to it that it is kept clean all summer. And now that the outdoor season is at hand let us all make the most of it. Turn the children out to play whenever the days are dry and sunny. It will do them good. Time now, too, to begin planning for that little garden. Talk it over with the little folks.

Of course we mean a vacation from blizzards and snow storms though we still shall have some raw, chilly and disagreeable weather. But each week will bring us closer to the real spring weather, those warm, sunny days when all nature is taking on new life and the whole world about us looks brighter and more beautiful than at any other time of the year. This is the time of year, too, that, because nature is doing so much to make things beautiful, it should prompt us to help we can in this work of making our neighborhoods more beautiful this year than they were last. This means that we must get ready for the annual spring clean-up.

Mr. Sledge was on his way to render a speech at a political meeting and he saw a White man running down an alley at 38th St. He went down the alley which was very dark, and which the officer was afraid to venture, as it would be at the peril of his life. Mr. Sledge captured the White man. We need more such citizens in our community as Mr. Sledge. He should be placed back on the police force, as he is a well experienced man in this line of business.

As babies can no longer be sent by parcel post some people will wonder what they are going to do with them. This would be a happy world if people would always wear the smile they do when they have their picture taken. Footprints on the sands of time are all very well, but most people prefer to leave tracks made by automobile tires. Japan is becoming noted for the amount of listening it can do without in the slightest degree changing its mind. According to all that can be ascertained regarding his legal status, a Hindu is a British subject without a country. --- STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., of THE BROAD AX, published weekly, at Chicago, Ill., required by the Act of August 24, 1912.

(This information is required from daily newspapers only.) (My commission expires March 8th, 1916.) CHIPS The Charity Club of Bethesda church Sunday School class No. 3 met at the home of Mrs. Isaac Moman, 5025 Federal St., Thursday afternoon. The ladies after spending some time in making paper lilies for the Sunday school room Easter decorations, were served with a nice luncheon by the hostess. After having spent a most enjoyable time they were dismissed by their teacher, Miss D. Hackley. On Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock the Stork presented Mr. and Mrs. Vance Anderson, 5156 Wabash Ave., with a lovely girl baby. Dr. Daniel H. Williams was the attending physician, and in a short time Mrs. Anderson and little Miss Anderson will be removed to their home from St. Luke's Hospital. Mr. Anderson cannot stop smiling and he feels mighty proud on making a home run. Thursday evening, April 16, the ladies composing the Phyllis Wheatley Club will hold a meeting at the Young Men's Christian Association Assembly Hall, 3757 Wabash Ave., for the purpose of considering plans for the formation of a Woman's Protective Christian Association. Mrs. Clara Johnson, mistress of ceremonies. Rush Postal Cards In Paris In Paris, you can buy for half a franc at any postoffice a postal card which will hold 200 words of small writing and which will be delivered to any address in the city in about fifteen minutes, projected to its destination through a pneumatic tube. Minuteness of Molecules If we try to count the number of molecules contained in one cubic millimeter of hydrogen-gas, first arranging them in groups of a billion each, it would take a thousand years to count these groups. So writes M. Boll, a French physicist, in illustrating the powerlessness of figures. Wide Apart In Horse The Argentine has as many horses as people, while Switzerland has only three horses to every hundred inhabitants. Cork Paper. Half a million dollars' worth of costs a year is used for very thin paper. This is supplied in sheets about four inches wide by six to ten long, and nearly all of it'—about 100,000,000 sheets—is used in automatic machines for applying as tips to cigarettes. Bark: For Tanning. Quebracho bark, one of the chief exports of the Argentine, will tan leather at least three times as fast, as the bark of the oak or the hemlock. Nearly a million tons of the wood, or the dry extract are sent to the United States and Europe annually. The growth of the tree is of the slowest, and it is estimated that a thousand years are required for it to reach, maturity. Fast Cycling. An eminent doctor says that he has found a cyclist's pulse to beat as high as 250 times a minute immediately after making a fast mile. This illustrates the danger of "scorching." Table Linen. If you wish your table linen to look nice do not put it through the wringer, as it makes creases that will not come out even if the cloth be droned when very damp. In fact, any clothes that you wish to look very nice when froned will be better if they are wrung by hand. Ice Lined Rivers Some of the rivers of Siberia flow over ice many years old and almost as solid as rock. A tributary of the Lena has a bed of pure ice over nine feet thick. Vanilla Orchids The vanilla orchid is now grown commercially in the island of St. Vincent, West Indies, being introduced from the Seychelles. It grows there up to an altitude of 1,500 feet, with a yearly rainfall of 120 inches. The plants thrive best when planted on stems of the tree fern. Cyanthus arboreus. JULIUS F. TAYLOR, publisher, business manager, or owner.) 10th day of/April, 1914. MICHAEL J. O'MALLEY, Notary Public. 5.) Where there is no hope there is no endeavor. _____ A hero is a man who hasn't been found out. _____ Trying to be content with what we have is some trial. Kissing causes colds, says a doctor. Don't let a cold catch you kissing. Success may ruin some persons, but that does not deter the struggle up the ladder. A music trust is to be formed. Its promoters ought to be able to work in harmony. It is twice as hard to make a good matter better as it is to make a bad matter worse. The speechless banquet will be popular with all except the man who has rehearsed his. Love laughs at locksmiths, and when poverty comes in at the door he also laughs at glaziers. Good men help one another, even without suspecting it. The bad deliberately oppose each other. Time has delicate little waves, but the sharpest cornered pebble, after all, becomes smooth and blunt at last. Experiments with radium prove that it will do wonderful things if science con only find out just what they are. Even in London they are learning that time is money. A "Book of Hours" sold there for $700 the other day. Alphonse Bertillon made it easier to detect criminals. But the police records do not indicate any great diminution in crime. It is estimated that 100,000,000 fish in New York state have cancer. And a good many of them are sure to get the hookworm. A music professor has evolved the theory that soprano singers should marry tenors. Isn't this a little rough on the sopranos? Not only do the poor pay more than the rich for food products, as has been shown by expert inquiry in New York, but they pay cash. Presently some forehanded reformer will make a hit with the plain people by demanding government ownership of moving picture shows. Some one says "no thoroughly occupied man was ever miserable." He is liable to be, however, if he occupies himself with the business of other people. An Italian poet has just celebrated his one hundred and second birthday. In the matter of dying, however, it's the same with poets as it is with other men. Uncle Sam bars babies from the parcel post. This will be a great disappointment to the little ones who were expecting to get a baby brother that way. Women have now demanded the ballot in France, while in Germany they ask admission to the Stock Exchange. Want to get right next to the money at once. A judge has ruled that a man has no right to swear at his wife, even though she swears at him first. And yet women insist that men have all the advantages. The imperial German government will not permit parliament to interfere with the army. Parliament will not be permitted even to laugh at it with impunity. Teeth extraction to music is a dental novelty from Paris, where the red, white and blue wigs come from. Why not tango teas for patients waiting their turn? --- Our Townsmen. There is a man in our town— Our goat he's surely sure. He dumps all sorts of rubbish on His vacant corner lot. —Allentown Democrat. There is a man in our town Who helps mosquitoes breed. He owns a host of corner lots And never cuts a weed. —Houston Post. There is a man in our town Who's even worse than that; He's teaching tango dancing on The floor above our flat. —Chicago Record-Herald. There is a man in our town Who lives in every block. You'll know him, for he never cleans The snow from off his walk. —Spokane Spokesman-Review. Not So Slow. A shy young man had been calling on the sweetest girl in the world for many moons, but, being bashful, his suit progressed slowly. Finally she decided it was up to her to start something, so the next time he called she pointed to the rose in his buttonhole and said, "I'll give you a kiss for that rose." A crimson flush overspread his countenance, but the exchange was made after some hesitation on his part. Then he grabbed his hat and started to leave the room. "Why, where are you going?" she asked in surprise. "To the—er—florist for more roses," he called from the front door.—London Opinion. Deformed Characters. In what I changed to read To meet again and yet again Those one cheeked girls and one eyed men. "He fixed her with his baleful eye. No word could Eunice speak. She heaved a sad, regretful sigh; A tear stole down her cheek"— You've read it often, have you not, That one eyed, one cheeked novel rot? We truly ought to pass a law To make those writers cease Who still their characters will draw With half a face aplace. For often, reading on in haste, We find instead they're double faced. —Judre. By Ticket Only. Mrs. Lovelace had a new maid not long over from Scandinavia. She was not quick to learn, but what she did learn fixed itself solidly in her blond head. In particular she was taught to take the visiting cards of Mrs. Lovelace's not infrequent callers. One day appeared a certain Mrs. Furlblow, a crony and familiar of Mrs. Lovelace and one not accustomed to the formality of cards in that house. The new maid refused to let her in. She blocked the door with her substantial bulk and spoke firmly. "You must give up your ticket first," she said—New York Post. Roundel Without, the winter storms and blows (Mark thou that comma, printer)— Within, the summer, warm and coz; Without, the winter. O shades of frozen ears and toes! I scarecely can begin ter Express my hate for wintry snows Without, the winter, "Express" did I say? Then it goes. But, posh, I can't e'en hint 'er! I could be happy, goodness knows, Without the winter! —New York Tribune. Trying to Please. "Climate that suits one person does not suit another, you know," said the New York man. "Quite true. But just think of the many different kinds of people we've got to please!" -Yonkers Statesman. The Hired Girl. She sallies forth on Sunday fine And tells us she'll be in at nine— The hired girl. When she returns it's past eleven. Next morn she sleeps till half past seven— The tired girl. In fiery tones on washing day She strikes us for a raise in pay— Theired girl. And, knowing well the chores she's shirked. She looks back sadly where she worked— The fired girl. -Paroxysma. Not Interested. First Passenger—Sir, I fancy your mother over there has a touch of seasickness; perhaps you'd better look after her. Second Passenger—The lady is my mother-in-law. First Passenger—A thousand pardons—New York Post. No Chance. No Chance. The past is past; no wasted day Has ever yet returned. We cannot keep the chill away With coal that has been burned. The past is gone beyond recall. We can't pay next month's rent With cash we've never had at all Or money we have spent. -Chicago Record-Herald. Awful Thought. Wife-The doctor said right away that I needed a stimulant. Then he asked to see my tongue. Hub-Heavens! I hope he didn't give you a stimulant for that!-Boston Transcript. Health Hint Health Hint. There was once a giddy young lizard Contracted a pain in his glazard By acting a manger And dancing the tango In the chilly embrace of a blizzard. —New York Sun. An unreasonable Demand. "I say, old man, you've never return- ed that umbrella I lent you last week." "Hang it all, old man, be reasor- able. It's been raining ever since."-- Philadelphia Ledger.
