OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES “We Béldom see a fool Who seems to be worried. Editors are not in this Up to press time no editors were among those locked up at the po- lice station. Among the men of reputation in our midst, Barker, Dafoe, Meyst and “Doc” should not be overlooked. The argument that baldness comes from wpr}y is ridiculous. Look at the editors: wives. None in our lot who are baldheaded. The editorial party will be com- pelled to wear badges on-the Red Lake trip. This is done as a precau- tion and upon requests from the wives of the editors. Mr. Dickens, superintendent of the Agency can- not accept any foreign “Indians” in his band and will be on the lookout 8o that none of the pen pushers will remain, B Lgut, strayed or stolen, a being who looks like a man, and might be an editor. He was last seen in the vicinity of the little red school house going in a northeasterly direction. He was sober and wore no mustache. A ten dollar reward is being offered for any clue leading to the discovery or capture of such a person. The po- lice as yet have none. P. S.—The man was found just be- fore going to “press, carrying water for the elephants at the circus. He was not an editor, but a paper sales- .man. Friday the Thirteenth. If you got up this morning with a peculiar foreboding that something unpleasant was going to happen; if you had the bad Iuck to get out of bed this morning of all mornings with your left foot first; if you in- tended popping the question to the lady of your dreams today—beware. This is a bum day to start anything you want to have luck with, for it’s Friday the Thirteenth. That isn’t such a rarity in itself, for there have been numerous other Fridays the Thirteenth in the past few years. This Friday the Thirteenth of today, however, is peculiarly potent for evil in its make-up. Today is the only day of the present year when the thirteenth of the month will fall on a Friday. It will be at least 100 years before you will get the combin- ation of Friday the Thirteenth in the thirteenth year of a century, so when you write June 13, 13 today, be careful to cross your fingers to keep off “de conjuns.” An Inspiration From a Garbage Can. Now. that the income tax prom- iges to give congress money to spend Reed Smoot wants half a million spent. yearly by the agricultural ex- periment stations in studying and publishing ways to make each dol- lar of income go further in the home.

It was Jun.steen.s mission to palfit human lite in a spirit of toleration emphauhed by keen satire. {He keeps , |on friendly”terms with the devll even while naflmng the cloven hoof.” His father was a brewer in Leyden, where] Jan was born’ in 1626. When he was eighteen he went Haarlem, where he studied under Jan van Goyen and married his daughter: When he was forty-one he went in- to the brewery business at Delft But failed and his mcmres were seized and sold because of a debt of four dol- lars e owed to an apothecary. He ". returned to Leyden and opened a tav- ern.. He died at Leyden at the age of fifty-three. The -earlest biographers of Jan Steen represent him as a sort of Falstaff among artists, leading a rol- licking, drunken life. More recently an effort has been made to show that he led a sober, indpstrious life; that he was a sort of Hogart,who painted to inculcate moral lessons. But his pictures seem.to bear out the former judgment. Jan’s impish humor is shown in ‘many ways—in his life and art. The following story is charac- teristie: “The stern old pastor of Leyden sat near him by the hearth, and delivered a lengthy’ "discourse concerning his jovial life, unchristian conduct,. his love of drinking, his disorderly do- mestic affairs, his obdurate gaiety; and Jan listened quietly for two hours, and betrayed not the slightest impatience at the lengthy sermon. Only once he broke in with the words, “Yes, Dominie, that light is far bet- ter; yes, Dominie, I beg of you to draw your stool a little nearer to the fire, so umt the flame may cast its red gleam over your whnle face and leave the rest of the figure in shade.’ “The Dominie stood up wrathful and departed. But Jan seized his pal- ette and painted a stern old man just as in that sermon on vice he had un- || conscionsly furnjshed a model. The picture is excellent el In his art Jan satirized even his yery, excellgnt wife. Adopt- & system today that wfll enable you tosave.a certain per cent of your inqome.
