POVERTY THEN AND NOW.
Poverty is a relative condit
ion. That is, the poor of todaj
are more richly endowed with
worldly goods than the noo;
of twenty years ago, although
the one felt no poorer nor rich
?r than the other. Many of Thi
age who feel poor would be
considered of better than mod
erate means by their corre
iponding class of two decade.'
oast.
We recall many a boy ot
ooor family in 1901; with
home-cut hair, trousers made
! over from father’s, patch
luilt shirt, sans shoes, stock
ings and underwear in sum
mer; tucky to have darned
tockings, baggy underweai
ind a frayed coat and cap foi
winter, and compelled to work
ii3 way into the circus or foi
; lis infrequent ice cream soda.
Ynd we remeber that the
ooor of twenty years ago were
ontent to get such homely
are as beef stew, and pota
oes. Parents then boasted ol
vearing the same suit or dress
or ten years-it was fortunate
or them their clothes were
turable for they could not
lave purchased new ones.
Quite a contrast with the
ooor of 1921 who occupy the
ame social position as that
! amily of 1905 just described.
[ f’he new poor have shoes all
iround, on occasion they have
the raiment to dress both nice
ly and comfortably, they
have carpets on the floor and
good furniture at home ands
not infrequently a flivver or
second-hand car of larger
make is parked in the yard,
and cakes and pies are not
strangers to their table
Once the poor resented they
could not quit work and still
eat; now they complain be
cause they must work to keep
up the payments on the auto
mobile, .radio and mother’s
fur coat and save enough for
next summer’s tour.
ORIGIN OF ESKIMOS
It has been reported from
Nome that Dr. Alex Hrdlicka,
representing the Smithsonian
Institute, found valuable data
which will probably determine
the origin of the Eskimo. From
he data he has secured, the
Institute will make a complete
report of the findings. Valu
able specimens were picked
up by Dr. Hrdlicka along the
Yukon and the seacoast along
; the Alaska Peninsula and the
! Arctic Coast from Kotzebue
b Point Barrow. Valuable evi
dence available a few years
j back was destroyed by storms.
‘30GH0L0FF VOLCANO
IN ERUPTION
The Bogholoff volcano on
3ogholoff Island, a short dis
ance from Dutch Harbor, was
•eported erupting recently
oy the master of the Jap
anese steamer Yokohama Ma
li, which passed within eleven
niles of the disturbance.
The coast guard cutter Haida
left Dutch Harbor enroute to
he island to investigate.
Bogholoff is one of the new
?st of Alaskan volcanoes, hav
ing come up out of the sea in
May 1796. The island on which
t is situated is one of three
volcanic islands, the second of
which appeared in September
| 1883. The third emerged
j from the ocean in May 1906,
i shortly after the San Francisco
[ earthquake.
Just for Fun
There is one difficulty about
putting to death weak-mined
persons. It might include too
many.
There’s a chap in. Hyder so
dumb he thinks coalition is a
new substitute for anthracite.
Not so much the first cost as
the accessories dent the pock

The value of a wife does not
depend on the fact'that, as a
bride she was given away.
Frank Reichenback says some
think they’re breezy when
they are only windy.
Man is satisfied if he can get
even; woman wants to get
ahead.
The dollars of the family are
not carried in the wife’s name
as often as the sense.
Public opinion is as fickle as
the wind and often as chilling.
Mrs. Cohen (standing in
wimming pool with water up
to her neck): “My goodness,
Izzy, where’s the baby?’’
Mr. Cohen: “He’s all right. 1
got him by the hand.”
Nothing grieves a child more
than to study the. wrong lesson
and learn something he was
not required to learn.
Flappers nowadays seem to
think what is good enough for
her granddaughter is good
enough for grandmother.
It takes a good man to live
up to the inscription on his
tombstone.
“I wish you wouldn’t knit at
meal^ I can’t tell where my
spaghetti leaves off and your
sweater begins.”
You may have observed that
when a mule is kicking he is
never pulling and the same is
true of men in this world.

Should the rumbling noise
that accompanies a California
earthquake be properly called

‘Now, Bobby,” said the teach

said Bobby.
A Scottish laborer was slip

working hours when he met
the foreman.
‘Hallo!” said the latter pleas
antly, “were you looking for
me?”
“Ay,” replied Sandy. “I wis
lookin’ for ye, but I didna
want to find ye.”
As a remedy for divorce a
Chicago judge urges men not
to marry until they reach the
age q{ reason. But that would
bar so many from marriage
altogether.
Jack: “So your father de
murred at-first because he
didn’t want lose you?”
May: “Yes; but I won his
consent. I told him that he
need not lose me. We could
live with him, and so he would
not only have me but a son
in-law to boot.”
“H’m! I'don’t like that last
expression.”
Sometime ago we published
an article on monuments in
which several epitaphs were
quoted most fanciful. Here,
however, is one that was re
cently discovered on a tomb
stone near Wetumpka, Ala.,
which reads:
“Here lies the body of Solo
mon Peas,
Under the daisies and under
the trees.
Peas is not here—only the pod,
Peas shelled out and went
home to God.”

With your turnip nose,
And your radish hair,
You are a peach.
