We of today often admire the knowledge displayed by our friends and our neighbors, and oc casionally we may entertain a slight conception of that which we ourselves possess. But we are not prone to speak of or to admit of those things that we don't know. For instance You don't know when the war will end.

You don't know which side will be the victors. You don't know what condi tions will prevail in Europe after it is ended. You may surmise, but you don't know. You don't know what effect it will have on this country when Europe gets down to business again. You don't know whether the end of this war will mark the be-gining of a world peace, or whether it is but the forerunner of a greater and more devastating conflict which will be waged between the old world and the new 'tween a combination of European nations on the one side, and North, Central and South America on the other.

JUDGE, Ma subjec for' today am took f'um Jonah; who de Lord sent down to Ninevah ter preach an' expidite de Wo'd; but Jonah he done git col' feet; "no Ninevah fo' mine," he 'low; an booked a pas sage on de Joppa-Tarsish line. Now dis hyah steamboat go toot! de bells dey make clang; de captain done cry "All abroad; de screw pull in de gang de passengers dey amuse deyse, fs a-playin' shuffle boa'd dey didn't know dat Jonah was a flee-in' f'um de Lo'd.

But by an' by de billows rose; de win' kick up a sea; de passengers dey went below, as seasick as kin be: de waves dash high; de tempes' roar; de ol' tub plunge an' roll; "We got a Johan on dis ship," dey said; "We'll hit a shoal." Dey grab ol' Jonah by de laigs, an' cast him overboa's, Wheah he's done swallowed by a whale created by de Lo'd. De sto'm calmed down with Jonah gone, jes laik dey thought it would, an' Jonah in de whale's insides jes' promised he' make good, an' said he'd go ter Ninevah an' to de heathen preach, an' so de Lo'd direck de whale ter leave him on de beach. De moral ob dis story am dat if you got col' feet, don't nevah book yo' passage on de Joppa-Tarsish fleet. Dunk Botts Sees a Differ-encee. Pants are worn by men who work for wages; trousers by those who draw a salary.

No civilized man can get along without pants. The law, public opinion and the clothing manufacturers demand them. Pants are made in all sizes, just as are men. It has always been a mystery why 4 the weaker and least durable portion of this garment is at the point which comes wholly in contact with the chair, so that if st man sits down it is expensive. Every pair of pants has money-tight com partments for the conservation of wealth.

They are called pockets and are designed for the safe keeping of the above mentioned riches, but instead in them at all times may be found such valuables as a knife, four or five nickles, two or more odd sized buttons, and an occasional key. There are always two pockets in the rear. One ef these is frequently used for artillery and the other for liquid ammunition. One is needles without the other. There being no room for a Bible pocket, that is carried in the hand.

There is no need of it being concealed anyway. All pants like all men, sooner or later bag at the knees. This imperfection comes from a cervature in the thread in the weave of the. material. The con stant opening and shutting of the knees causes the thread to become bent.

Were the hinges in a man's knee made to work both ways there would be no baggy pants. The man who wears trous ers generally has two or three pairs, but the one who. wears pants considers himself lucky if he has an extra pair to put on while the others are being patched or pressed. Sometimes even this is not feasible, hence places where they press While. Wait." The country should be thankful that Woodrow Wilson is at the helm, else times might not be so well with us.

No doubt but what President Wilson has kept the United States out of war. Several hundred dollars have been brought into the school fund by those who have not jpaid poll tax for yeara coming up and paying. One tyho had hot paid a poll tax in 13 years, came few' days ago, deposit ing $19.50 with the proper author ities. Get girls, propose' your favorite young, man.

You may poo hoo, and swell out your chest, and let the eagle scream, but you don't know. You don't know what congress will do in the matter of preparedness for this country. You don't know whether it will do anything at all or not for, truth to tell, congress is all muddled up and 1 don't know itself, for it don't know what you think or what you know.

Fact is, brother, we don't imagine any of us know much of anything about this phase of our national existence, for we have been too busy grubbing for dollars to give much heed to the present or future welfare of our country.

The first one makes the owner of any rabid dog liable for damages done to others by the bite of such dog, upon certain conditions. The second provides for prohibiting dog running at large, unless such dog is in charge of his owner or some one to whom he has in trusted it. This law is inopera tive unless it is adopted by the commissioner's court of any coun ty which desires the law put in operation. It is not made opera tion in his county. The third of these acts provides for the.

collection of one dollar per annum upon each dog.that is kept; the assessment is made by the tax assessor without any value being fixed bri such dog.
