Mr. Bryan is not to blame for having no sense of humor, But { for action to safeguard ite interests and its honor throug their patience. To say that the President's plan for preparednces “reverses our ational policy” is nonsense. What national policy cao eancly ignore Fevolutionary changes in the rest of the world? To say that preparedness as outlined by the President “is a men- fee to our peace” is a slur upon our national development. Have we mot as a nation learned self-control? Have we not practiced it before all the world long enough to be trusted with a gun? To say that the President “challenges the spirit of Christianity” fe wilfully to pervert meaning and purpose. What does the nation ask of preparedness beyond the prevervation of the spirit and fruits of the Christianity upon which it ie founded ? Mr. Bryan’s attack is not the utterance of an earnest American It is, rather, the instinctive effort of a politica) malcontent to seite upon an issue that shall spread dissension and if possible split « party. ‘The specious warning to the President against “atmosphere énfluences in Democratic circles is a smal) but revealing touca.

SING SING. IGHTS among Warden Osborne's boys up at Sing Sing figure considerably in the public prints. Anybody who looks up the records of the prison for the lest twenty years, however, will soon convince himself chat rows among the convicts were more frequent and serious in the old days. ‘Whe difference is that just now everything in and about Sing Sing ‘is under the scrutiny of #0 many lynx-eyed individuels gathering evi- ence to be used for special purposes that hardly a whisper inside the gloomy old walls escapes somebody's vigilance. After ali Sing Sing is a trying place. Among those detained there are many whose inner feelings are perpetually riled by a sense of injustice thet there they should be. Others know they deserve to tbe where they are, but like the accommodations and the company none the better therefor. : Soreheads thrown together in enforced intimacy are sure to get on one another's nerves. This is true is any state of liberty or bond- age, as every family knows. Granted a certain temperamental hasti- ness in most sojourners at Sing Sing, is it any wonder they settle their spate with scissor blades or coffee mugs when such aids are handy? It ia unfair to ask too much of any person merely because he is fn jail. It is also unfair to blame a Warden because his methods fail to make over men in a jiffy. Some men who go to jail can never be made over at all. But it is not necessary to run the jail as if there ‘were no others. of harmony and brotherly love. But month by month it can be made @ better place to receive those sent to it and itself make better men of almost all before they leave it. That, we believe, is what, mistakes #= no mistakes, is being accomplished under the present Warden. _ “YF —- Wince is the name of a Brooklyn chiropodist.

By these means, under the guise of instruction In domestic science, Mea, Jarr got a helping hand with the dishes, As for Mr. Jarr, the evening presuged no intellectual or social treat for him. Mr, Claude Hoker ieaned against the radiator and sighed. He refused the cigar Mr, Jarr tendered bim and sighed again, “What's the matter with you?” asked Mr. Jarr. “Got a headache?” “Worse than that,” was the reply. “I have been a traitor.” “Well, that will do you no harm tn this country,” remarked Mr, Jarr, “That ‘shot at sunrise’ stuff doesn't go here.

And don’t butt there!" added Mr. Jarr in alarm as the despairing Mr. Hoker almed head at another space on the wall. “There's nothing but plaster ‘sd Mr. Jarr explained, “and you'll knook @ hole in the wall.” Young Mr. Hoker groaned, and Mr, Jarr wondered why it was that he was given such tasks as unpaid keep- era of mental deficlents, Mr, Jarr al- ways got the worst of it in cases of this kind. Had young Mr. Hoker been @ pleasant companion Mr. Jarr would never have been permitted to play with him, “You can tell me your troubles," added Mr. Jarr after another gloomy silence on the part of his vis-a-vis, “It you've committed a murder I know very well there's no reward offered, and if you're In financial straits you can do me no harm, for I am an im- mune from a monetary standpoint.” “It isn't money, and it isn't mur- der,” groaned the bridegroom. “It te treason, base treachery, I tell you!” “All right, tell me,” said Mr, Jarr, “You would betray me,” replied the guilty wretch, “It isn't bigamy or anything of that sort, is it?” asked Mr, Jarr, Young Mr, Hoker gave a hollow laugh that turned into an even hol- lower groan, “It's worse than big- amy,” he groaned, “and I'm afraid it will be found out.” “It won't be found out if you are not a big simp and tell on yourself,” said Mr, Jarr, “What was itt” “My treason rankles in my breast," moaned the unhappy person, “Let it rankle,” Mr, Jarr advised. “That's better than having it rankle in other people's breasts, Take my advice and never snitch on yourself, Don't trust your dearest friend. So long as nobody else knows you won't get in any trouble, But if you can’t keep your own guilty secrets how can you expect others to keep them for you? Only a boob betrays himself, What's on your mind?” “Can I trust you?” whispered young Mr, Hoker, “Sure!” said Mr, Jars, “but mind | told you, 1 have mo ourigsity, The Woman of It By Helen Rowland Caperat 1hih ty the Prem Peters Os Te Bee Te temas Ceree She Gives “Seven Sauces for the Gander.” “ ME HEAT Beottl” « med the Mechetor, as the Widow towed OF swertneee te & paneing Yet @ho rained hie hath tet GO J due humility and Wineed vinibiy and eoub, whet om earth has he dune, to be made to euffor se HE hoo returned the Widow crumpled rose-leaves, “He is merely rece Gander —that io all, Mr. Weatherty” “Ugh!” erioned the Macheior, “It ecomed to me more ithe trosen eustané OF peach frappt than like sauce” —— “That's just was!” gurgied the Widow. “Reuce trappé!

For instance,” ahe continued, waxing enthusiastic, as she grew technical, “when one first meeta a man, there are two especially effective sauces, with which one may safely serve him—sugar sauce and sauce indifference, So many girls make the fatal mistake of starting right out with sauce plquante or sauce frappé, and spoil the whole thing with too much spice or too much ice." “Indeed!” murmured the Bachelor admiringly, “But which—er—sauce do you begin with?" “Oh, It depends on the specimen,” reflected the Widow, chowing the atem of a rose thoughtfully, “The sugar sauce—composed of smiles and flattery— if not TOO sweet—is more apt to make him tender and responsive; but the sauce tndifference ts better calculated to stimulate his vanity and atir wp hin latent obstinacy. The two can sometimes be cleverly mixed, however, and then you get the very beat effect.” “Really?” drawied the Bachelor. “How do you do tt?" “On, you amile on him ravishingly and admiringly one minute,” explained the Widow, “and pretend not to hear him when he talks to you the next minute, You throw him a kiss at parting and pretend to have forgotten his name at the next meeting. It's a DEEFliclous recipe, Mr. Weatherby, and has been a prime favorite with most of the sirens and man-tamers for centuries.” “H ig ‘sauce du diabie’.” ‘Oh, no!” answered the Widow emilingly. “Sauce du diable is very different—and only fit for very young men and callow boys in search of a thrill, Sauce du diable consists in wearing long earrings, smoking a clgarette and pretending to be cynical about love. A touch of it is sometimes food for a husband, when he has begun to grow bored and blasé; but it should be administered very carefully and delicately, or it may make him hard and bitter. Sauce paprika is safer for him.” “‘Sauce paprika!’” repeated the Bachelor, Do I ever get any of that?” “Sauce Paprika,” explained the Widow, Ignoring the question, “is good for a man who has begun to look upon a woman as a foot-stool and a aofa pillow, and upon himself as a combination of Adonis, Solomon and Kaiser Withelm. 1 used to believe that a perpetual smile was a woman's one best bet, but T have observed that the woman who bursta {nto an occasional tan- trum and tears a passion or a handkerchief to tatters brings a man down to his proper place and inspires him with a wholesome respect for her wishes, It is quite different from continual nagging, of course; but*after you have heen covering a man with oll and sugar for three hundred and sixty-four days in the year, he NEEDS a little paprika of temper to stimulate him on the three hundred and sixty-fifth.” “Ah, I see!” murmured the Bachelor, “The poor rooster never knows what's coming to him.
