HAS JJKEX TOLD TOO OFTEX.
It will be some time before our friends try to hand us that stuff
about there being more liberty in Europe than there is in America.
A CASE OK HANDS.
Von BernstorfY evidently never let his right diplomatic hand
know what his left diplomatic hand was doing.

Zimmerman says his plot was exposed by "a traitor on Ameri

HEAT OLD III COS'
Try apple-dumplings for hunger.
Labor always butts in.
AND WIIV NOT.
I'llE SIX WEEKS AltE XEAKLY UP.
The storm Sunday night was another overt act of the groundhog
VOU HET YAH.
The President's cold is only in the head and not in the feet.
ALWAYS ON THE .IOII.
A. woman usually is a good match for a man with money to burn.
' . . SUCH A CLOSENESS. '
We're 'so.clb.se to the verge of war the. verge, is crumbling-,
OET OUT YOUR IIAIT.
What's the use to filibuster when it's so near to fishing?
I'ltESCItlllED HV UNCLE SAM.
A dose of their own medicine: "Sink 'em at sight."
THE LADIES AltE UNCHAItlTAIILE.
No gentleman ever tells on a woman. Oh, that the ladies were
as discreet.
NOT A TIIEOKY HUT A FACT.
Everybody is starving but the people that caused the others to
starve.
-MUST USE THE HULL.
To inspire confidence in woman it is only necessary to avoid
being Muecrc.
IK WE HAD OUR WAY.
We would rather be a red-headed, freckled-faced boy than a gray
haired Kaiser.
A NATURAL WIRELESS.
No matter how stupid a woman may be, she always knows when
a man is in love with her two or three laps before he discovers it
himself.
ON THE QUIET.
Women as a class have very little sense of humor. Nevertheless
most of them have enough for an occasional quiet snicker at their
husbands.
HE STILL HAS A CHANCE.
The Minnesota guardsman sentenced to five years in the peni
tentiary for placing Germany above his own country must be sorry
now that he is a soldier instead of a United States Senator.
HE TAKES THE EATS.
William Howard Taft will travel through the South to enthuse
them on the war situation. That's unnecessary: they will beat him
into a uniform. 1 fe should work nearer home, but he likes that
"Southern cooking."
ASK COL. WILLIE HESS.
The Drys announced that they intend to raise $450,000 for the
coming campaign and they will get it but if the Wets had that
much money they would use $400,000 for their own salaries and
$50,000 to raise their own wages.
(JET'S OUR COAT.
The Ohio Legislature having declared that the quail is a song
bird is the cutest bit of zoological card indexing we have seen, since
Leslie M. Shaw announced that under the Payne law froglegs are
dressed poultry.
WATCH YOUR TURN.
A little glad thing, life;
And yet with hate and wrong
We turn it often into strife,
Instead of love and song.
THEN (JET IIUSY.
The only time it's desirable to filibuster is when they're debating
about cutting out beer.
IT WAS Kl'LL OF EMPTINESS.
The alienist who took the photo of Harry K. Thaw's brain re
ports a perfect negative.
SHE'S THE USUAL CAUSE.
All the men who have mysteriously disappeared either ran away
with or from a woman.
WE SHOULD WORRY.
How can anybddy care much about the revolt of India when
there's new bock beer on the market.
AS VON HOLLWEC SAYS.
Our brave and unconquerable submarines, courageous unto
death" of women and children.
THE VANITY HON (JETS THESE.
Intelligence lasts a woman much longer than beauty, but it is
a good deal less useful while it lasts.
A GOOD DEFINITION.
A charming woman is merely one who plays very cleverly the
character that she would like to be.
, LIKE OVEH-THE-HHINE.
Mexico seems to have become another little Germany.
THE REAL WAY TO DO IT.
Under a constitution of his own making, by election machin
ery under his own control, in a campaign in which he was the only
candidate and with the assistance of the borrowed slogan : "He
kept us out of war," Carranza has elected himself President of
Mexico by an almost unanimous vote. Democrats of Hamilton
County, please take notice.
HE, HAD THE ANSWER.
What is an overt act? she asked,
As she inclined her head ;
Oh, let us try a neutral kiss,
He answered her, instead.
COULD RUN IN THE MUD.
A correspondent of the New York Sun complains that George
Washington was not altogether true, that he had false teeth, and
that the painter of one of his portraits says he had "bum legs" and
that the legs of another man were used for the portrait.
We will concede these points, but oh! what a backbone "the
old boss" had. It was the vertebrae of a man may the Gods give
us more such spines.
A CHURCH THAT IS NO CHURCH.
The so-called "People's Church" is no church at all, but a caul
dron boiling over with everything against society. Its platform is
open to every crank with an ism, particularly if his, ism is arrayed
against the richer classes or the government. That makes fat pick
ings for the promoters who take up the collections from the ig
norant and vicious class that attend its "services." But when Rev.
Stephen D. Wise, of New York, one of the ablest Rabbis in the coun
try, began to talk "Americanism" to Bigclow's following last Sun
day, a niajority of them left the hall and went over to Covington
to get a beer.

A rather critical old lady once said
to Crawford, "Have you ever written
anything, Mr. Crawford, that will live
after you arc gone?"
"Madame," Crawford replied politely,
"what 1 am trying to do is to write
something that will enable me to live
while I am here." Christian Register.
Where Are They?
The man who had made a huge for
tune was speaking a few words to a
number of students at a business class.
Of course, the main theme of his ad
dress was himself.
"All my success in life, all my tremen
dous financial prestige," he said proudly,
"I owe to one thing alone pluck, pluck,
pluck!"
He made an impressive pause here but
the effect was ruined by one student,
who asked impressively:
"Yes, sir, but how arc we to find the
right people to pluck? Philadelphia
