There are such beautiful things put by! In God's house, and in God's time, there are such treasures.—A. D. T. Whitney. RADIUM'S DISCOVERER IN STRAITS The person who devotes himself or herself exclusively and whole-heartedly to science and to the promotion of enlightenment and human uplift should not have the stress of making a livelihood; provision should be made for endowing such persons. The time is coming when the United States and other enlightened powers will provide national endowment funds for men and women of exceptional genius who give themselves to the service of their fellowmen. Mean-time, it would be a splendid use of private philanthropic funds to endow eminent persons whose services to the world entitle them to special consideration. These observations are prompted by news reports from Paris which picture Mme. Curie as being in straitened circumstances. She has used her means to promote her scientific research work. She thinks more of her beloved science than she does of her own bodily needs. Here is an opportunity for philanthropy to do a good turn. Mme. Curie, in the ordinary course of nature, cannot live many more years. The few years she is to spend upon earth should be guarded as a precious possession to the world. She should be relieved of all thought or worry about her own personal finances—about her livelihood. She should be free to pursue her scientific experiments and may hap she will give the world, before she dies, another great discovery, comparable with radium. The millions who annually visit national forest reserves in California enjoy Nature at her best. Great numbers of them are conscientiously careful with fire and in other ways. But some are reckless. They should be held in restraint by legal punishment, if they Mme. Curie, in the ordinary course of nature, cannot live many more years. The few years she is to spend upon earth should be guarded as a precious possession to the world. She should be relieved of all thought or worry about her own personal finances—about her livelihood. She should be free to pursue her scientific experiments and may imply she will give the world, before she dies, another great discovery, comparable with radium. The millions who annually visit national forest reserves in California enjoy Nature at her best. Great numbers of them are conscientiously careful with fire and in other ways. But some are reckless. They should be held in restraint by legal punishment, if they remain obdurate and deaf to normal suasion. The reclamation rancher of the West is not heard from so often and so spectacularly as the wheat farmer, but he has adverse conditions and harrying problems. The national government well can afford to deal leniently with the reclamation settler. Uncle Sam is his landlord, and should not drive a hard bargain with him. Pneumonia is one of the most dreadful of diseases now—one which has not been conquered, or its terrors mitigated, as diphtheria and some other once-dreaded ailments have been. Science, in time, will point the way to conquest over this deadly malady. California will get big national political conventions without special effort, in the fullness of time. When the climatic delights of this state become more widely and more keenly appreciated; and when its scenic beauties and grandeurs take more alluring hold upon all sections; and when the proverbial California hospitality grips the heart of the eastern half of the nation, the impulse on the part of political party leaders to bring their great assemblages here will be irresistible.

AL SMITH - MASTER OF CERemonies PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Intelligentsia: People who have the same fool ideas you have. France has no organic trouble. It is simply a Napoleonic complex. Man never seems so mortal as when he appears in a divorce suit or pajamas. Fable: Once there was a mon forty years old who didn't think he had kidney trouble. Exercise may be a good thing but nobody ever saw a village loafer who was unhealthy. Wild animals are not really more healthful than men. They, also, die early in captivity. You never really know a man until you have slept on the same pool table with him during a convention. A dress suit is like a pistol. If you have one, you keep looking for a chance to use it. About the only thing in the world more inefficient than government is a tonsil. The man who first called them easy payments was a dwarf judge of adjectives. ABE MARTIN Ole home towns are great' go back to—if we've been successful. Personal vanity has kept more folks spruced up an' out a jail than all th' laws ever written. DINNER STORIES Anyone would have said that he was overcome, a few would have uttered the ugly word—intoxicated. After he had managed to set on the car he handed a rumped bit of colored paper to the conductor. POEMS THAT LIVE STANZAS In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember There green felicitus The north cannot undo them, With a sleety whistle through them; Nor frozen thawings glue them From budding at the prime. In a dread-nighted December, Too happy, happy brook, Thy bubblings ne'er remember Apollo's summer look; But with a sweet forgetting, They stay their crystal freeting, Never, never petting About the frozen time. Ah! would 'twere so with many A gentle girl and boy! But were there ever any Writhed not at passed joy? To know the change and feel it, When there is none to heal it, Nor numbled sense to steal it, Was never said in rhyme. John Keats PRAYER FOR INDIFFERENCE I ask no kind return of love, No tempting charm to please. You never really know a man until you have slept on the same pool table with him during a convention. A dress suit is like a pistol. If you have one, you keep looking for a chance to use it. About the only thing in the world more inefficient than government is a tonsil. The man who first called them easy payments was a darned poor judge of adjectives. The world's supply of horse sense is divided as follows; men, 2.8 per cent; the horse, 67.2 per cent. Every once in a while you run across a metropolitan who can tell you where the library is. If he has made frank effort to get money, and failed, he calls this a sordid and commercial age. The right will triumph in the end, unless the other fellow has a well-trained left. A physical culture man says rolling makes one happy. This is especially true of the bank roll. Of the 328,042 housewives who resolved to keep a record of expenditures, it is estimated that 731 are at it yet. Girl friends are those who compare their diamonds when engaged and pan their husbands when married. An old-timer is one who can remember when the woman who used powder on her neck was considered daring. Correct this sentence: "There, the little thing is crying," said the bachelor; "let me hold it a while." DINNER STORIES Anyone would have said that he was overcome, a few would have uttered the ugly word—intoxicated. After he had managed to get on the car he handed a rumped bit of colored paper to the conductor. "You'll have to pay your fare—this transfer is two weeks old," the conductor announced, tapping the man on the shoulder as he started past. He who was overcome halted, felt around in his picket and brought out a dime. Gazing at it with one squinting eye, he coughed a couple of times and said: "Well, tuf luck! Shomp-body passhed this dime on me (hie) also." Selina was bidding her lover a fond farewell, for he was going on a prolonged business trip around the world. Tearfully she clung to him and asked: "My dear Karl, will you be true to me when you are far away? Promise me that you will write to me from every town you visit!" And as he gathered her in his arms, he cried: "Oh, Selina, is it love that prompts you to say this? Swear to me, do you really love me—or are you merely collecting foreign postage stamps?" ENJOYED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP "I wish to say that FOLEY PILLS worked O.K. on me in a couple of hours and the pain left me at once. I took a couple of them in the afternoon, went to bed and had a good night's sleep and have slept good ever since," writes Con Thiel, 118 E. Columbia St., Fort Wayne, Indiana. FOLEY PILLS are a diuretic stimulant for the kidneys and will increase their activity. Refuse substitutes. Sold at Heying's Pharmacy.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying MILLIONS VISIT FOREST RESERVES—Santa Ana Register The chief of the forest service reports that over 6,000,000 people have visited the national forests during 1923. It is a pleasing record, and one to be proud of. It means that the great public playgrounds are beginning at last to serve the purpose they were intended for. It means that our people are learning to travel, to enjoy natural beauty, to appreciate outdoor life. In short, they are learning to play. That is a great thing for any person or any people. It has often been said that Americans, with all their love for active life and vigorous sport, did not really know how to play, in the sense that some foreign people do. They were not inclined to relax and give themselves unashamed to the enjoyment of simple, natural outdoor fun. The early American spirit was one of hard work. That was admirable in its time and circumstances, but generally speaking, the need of the more severe pioneer virtues is not so great as it was. People nowadays can find much more in life than mere toll. Most work, despite the old-fashioned moralists, is not desirable for its own sake. It is done from necessity, or done so that leisure may follow. Leisure for recreation, mental and physical—leisure to play—is a priceless boon. On with the play! ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE The other day there emerged From an apartment house Across the street from us A very nervous man. He looked up and down the street, And then he started to walk Up and down, and no walked And walked and walked and walked, And all the neighbors Got to watch and wondering He walked to the corner, Put his foot on the hydrant, Then took his foot off the hydrant The man from the coupe Darted into the house, And the first man kept on Up and down the sidewalk, In another hour there came From a window high up In the building A yell that was unmistakable. It was a shrill pipe that rent The air and caused the man To cock up his ear and pause, In five minutes more the man Who had gone into the house But his head out of the window A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE The other day there emerged From an apartment house Across the street from us A very nervous man. He looked up and down the street, And then he started to walk Up and down, and no walked And walked and walked and walked, And all the neighbors Got to watch and wondering He walked to the corner, Put his foot on the hydrant, Then took his foot off the hydrant And walked back, and He kept this up for two hours. He chewed up nine cigars, And still he walked and walked. A man drove up in a coupe And the walker waved his hand Listlessly. The man from the coupe Darted into the house, And the first man kept on Up and down the sidewalk, In another hour there came From a window high up In the building A yell that was unmistakable. It was a shrill pipe that rent The air and caused the man To cock up his ear and pause, In five minutes more the man Who had gone into the house Put his head out of the window And said: "All right, Jim. You can come up now. 'Is a boy.' "Oh, you Doc!" yelled Jim. And he dashed into the house. SOMEBODY ELSE WILL HAFTA FIGURE THIS OUT (From an Exchange) Miss Edna Cox became the bride of Alfred Hunt, whose sister, Miss Lillie Hunt, married Walter Cox, brother of the girl who married Lille Hunt's brother. All live in Butte, Mont., where everybody now is trying to untangle the relationship. A colored man in a chain gang down South doing road work refused to accept a pardon and go home for fear his wife would put him to work. One Michigan couple stayed married eighty-seven years, but it took a long time. We notice that they are again making preparations to attempt to communicate with the planet Mars. We have always seriously doubted the advisability of this. For one reason we have troubles enough of our own and we should not run the risk of having Mars, like all other foreign countries, try to borrow money from us. Then, again, we might find that Mars is so far in advance of us in civilization that it could not understand us at all, and this would be most embarrassing.
