PREFERRED DEATH TO SHAME
Natabl* M*n In History Who Haw*
Suocumbod to Fooling ft Mloory
Following D of oat.
The death of former Chancellor
Herr Von Bethm&nn-Hollweg has
caused no surprise, for there was an
instinctive feeling, even among ene-
mies, that he would not very long
survive his country’s defeat.
He has followed to the grave a
politician like Friedrich Naumann,
and other patriotic Germans in the
fields of commerce, literature and
science.
Their fate may be compared with
that of two great captains of the
armada whom fate drove back upon
the shoree of Spain, remarks the
British Weekly.
Admiral Bec&lde, as Froude tells
us, brought his ship safely home to
Corunna, and there died himself two
days after his arrival, worn out by
shame and misery. Admiral Oquen-
do made his way to San Sebastian,
where his wife and children were
living.
He refused to see them, shut him-
self into a solitary room, and there
breathed out his heroic life.' These
men refused to outlive the gallant
navy which, under happier circum-
stances, they had led in glorious
battle. It is the best, not the worst,
who cannot long survive the shock
of national ruin.
Philip II, tfye guilty sovereign,
lived on. The Duke of Medina Si-
donia lived on, though the execra-
tions of the people followed him
through Castile on his homeward
journey.

Willie—I just saw some rabbit*
run through that hedge.
Father—No, you didn’t That
was imagination.
Willie—Has imagination got
white tails?
MORE BOV8 THAN GIRLS BORN.
The belief that more boys than
girls are born after periods of war
has been vindicated in tite vital
statistics recently published by the
British registrar general.
More than 20,000 more boys than
girls were born in 1919, the highest
proportions since the commence-
ment of registration in 1838. The
fact that more boys werte being bom
was first noticed in the birth sta-
tistics of 1916 and has steadily in-
creased since.
Another curious fact of "sex
ratios” is that as prices increase, the
percentage of boy births rises. This
fact has been strikingly demon-
strated in the past 50 years.
ENHANCES MOTHER'S COOKINO.
“Mother used to worry about our
boy’s appetite before he went away
to war,” remarked Mr. Cobbles,
“and ate with the soldiers.”
“I don’t suppose he oomplaina
about home fare now?”
“No. All we’ve got to do to make
him take three or four more hot hie-
cuita and another piece of fried
chicken is just to mention ‘corned-
willie.’ *—Birmingham Age-Herald.
COMPARATIVE.
Miss Elderberry — Wonderful
boo*, Mr. Wells’ “Outline of His-
tory.” Do you know, I hadn’t the
least idea so many things had hap-
pened before I was bora.
Miss Cauatique—And in such a
short space of time 1—Life.
APPEARANCES WIN.
Jones—What did you feed that
tramp for? Why did you eijoouragt
him in his shiftlessness?
Mrs. Jones—Well, he looked ao
cold and hungry in his silk shirt
and low shoes I just couldn’t refuse
him.—Kansas City Star.
SPEECHES AND THOUGHT*.
“I always think before I speak.”
"That’s only part of the trick,”
replied Senator Sorghum. “The
hsors difficult portion is to keep your
audience thinking altar you gat
through.” ,
