BRITAIN FEARS AIR INVASION.
Ever since the groat Spanish Arm
ada set sail for tho purpose of con
quering the English nation, the fear
of foreign invasion has been the pet
bugaboo of the British public. .Nap
c^-on kept them on edge for some
> ? ars and had it not been for the
vigilamv of the English navy under
Lord Nelson it is more than probable
that the English would have been
forced to defend their own homes.
Since then the English have lulled
themselves into a sense of security
by maintaining an enormous navy, a
liavy which is supposed to more than
equal the fighting strength of the
of the ships of any two other Europ
ean powers.
This navy has cost millions of dol
lars. so many million in fact that the
resulting taxes have succeeded in vir
tually pauperizing an unusually large
per centage of the English people.
The recent successful flights of
the Zeppelin airships have thrown
the English into a panic, for they are
now conjuring flocks of German air
ships flying over their fair land, drop
ping explosives in city and country
side.
The natural result will be that
England will spend more millions in
experimenting with airships, yet all
tne time not daring to let her navy
lapse from its present strength This;
U all right for the airship inventors!
and the iron makers, but the burden
falls hard on the tax payers, who are
already hard pressed.
Wars are becoming fewer, thanks j
to the deadly inventions of modern I
years. Machine guns and submarines
ore the best apostles of peace.
When airships are perfected war
must inevitably cease. The horrors
r.t aerial warfare are too horrible to
contemplate.
But in the meantime England and
the other European powers will con
tinue to tax themselves into bank
rntcy to maintain armies and navies
in idleness. The United States is
also spending more than one-third of
lser income for martial purposes.
It will be a blessing for the tax
payer when an universal peace agree
ment is reached.
A preacher had announced that he
vould in the near future deliver a
sermon on "Hell, and who will be
there!" Since then he has received
letters from one lawyer, two news
papermen. three bankers, two hotel
men. two barbers, six real estate men
and four druggists. threatening to
withdraw their support and sue him
for slander if he dared "to mention
my name in your sermon." ? White

rob banks and stores in broad day
light should be caged and exhibited

Tony Caponi and Jim Flynn, both
Italians, are going to settle the heavy
weight championship of their race.
Flynn ought to win ? he has the ad
vantage of an Irish name.
That Sitka man who didn't go fish
ing until his thirty-third year missed
a lot of sport in his youth.
Which of you by taking thought,
can add one cubit to his stature? ?

TWO SINNERS.
rpHERE was a man, It was saM one
"? time
Who went astray In his youthful prime.
Can the brain keep cool and the heart
keep quiet
When the blood Is a river that's running
riot?
And boys will be boys, tho old folks nay.
And the man la tho better who's had his
day.
THE sinner reformed, and tho preacher
told
Of tho prodigal son who came back to tho
fold.
And Christian people threw open the door
With a warmer welcome than ever be
fore.
Wealth and honor were his t ? command
And a spotless woman gave him her hand.
And tho world strewed their pathway
with blossoms abloom.
Crying. "God bless ladye, and God bless
groom!"
rpHERE was a maiden who went astray
In tho KOldcn dawn of her life's !
young day.
She had moro passion and heart than j
head.
And sho followed blindly where f?nd love
led.
And Love unchecked is a <1 inge roils guide !
To wander ut will by a fair girl's side.
THE woman repented and turned from
sin.
But no door opened to let hi r In.
Tho preacher prayed that sho might be
forgiven.
But told her to look for mercy In heaven.
For this Is the law of tho earth we
know
That tho woman Is stoned, while tho man
may go.
A brave man wedded her. after all.
But the world said, frowning, "Wo shall
not call." ?Ella Wheeler Wilcox, j

There is certainly an air of refine
ment and style about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but those arc by no
means the only requisites that they
possess. These papers are beauti
f'.' to look at, agreeable to the touch,
take the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and are absolutely <-o
rect as to size and shape.
We carry many of the Eaton,
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can
recommend them all.
We also recommend other lines of
our complete stationery stock, such as
blank books, tablets, writing materials
a fine assortment of Waterman's and
Parker's Fountain Pens, etc., etc.
