MISTS.
It has been said that Immorality
la the curie of the race; that rum la
raining the people; that neglect of
child-life la undermining; society;
that contempt for law la destreyiag
the elate; and now cornea one D. u.
C. Keister, a noted specialist, who
declared before a congress of ecien-
tlsta at Philadelphia that the United
States la now aecond only to China In
the use of opium, and that there ia
danger from our uae of narcotics of ,
the people degenerating back Into
something worae than monkeydom.
Mr. Kelater and hla high-brow fol-1
lowers can go back to monkeydom if
they want to, but we are Juat going
to keep right on keeping on, and in
due course of time expect to become
a pretty decent sort of man, one who
writes cheerful things Instead of
damning everybody and everything
in sight just because the universe
and the people are not perfect. If
anybody goes back to monkeydom It
will be two persona one because he
sprang from monkeydom somewhere
back in the dim and distant past, and
another because he has scrambled
brains of the monkey brand. Some
may have monkey brains, some fatty
degeneration fo the think-tank, and
still others brains of the grapenut
variety. It takes all kinds of people
to make a world. Including bilious
scientists and those who predict all
aorta of dire calamities for their fel
low men for no other reason than
their own livers are disordered and
need shaking up. -
There are many destructive
agencies, such as Immorality, rum,
opium, social frivolity and green
goggled specialists who can see noth
ing about the apple but the rotten
speck where the worm took a bite.
In the meantime, we should all go
right on following the even tenor of
our way, growing in grace,' advanc
ing in educational enlightenment, in
creasing la wealth, adding to our
peace of mind and contentment,
conscious that our civilisation la
growing better all (he time.
Evils there are, and the best cure
for them Is to cultivate the good, the
true and the beautiful. Sending the
country to the bad Is an enterprise
the pessimists undertake with habit
ual perlodlcty, but we alwaya find
upon investigation that aa a matter
of fact instead of tending toward
monkeydom we are improving aa a
rare and getting to be better men
and. better women every year.
THKY WEKH NOT CALM).
When ever we hear a fellow laud
ing to the skies "his old home town"
every time someone calls attention
to a happening In "our town", we
cannot but rail to mind that old song
which ran something like this: "We
re'er will miss you if you'll Just go
back to the town whore you . were
born."
There can be no doubt but that

THE COWBOY OP TODAY AND
YESTERDAY.
In an art store Is a life site oil
painting of a cowboy actor, which is
offered for sale at the moderate sum
of $500. It's a good picturewell
painted, but we wouldn't give It
house room, simply .for the reason
that aa a cowboy" it is a distortion
and a loke. The painter of that
$500 picture doesn't know a cowboy
from the head Bolshevik of Russia,
and has probably never aeen one out
side of the magaslnea and picture
shows.
To those who have seen the cow
boy on his native heath and in the
early day prime of his glory, the
stage presentation of him is amus
ing. This particular cowboy has on
the regulation dime novel and mo
tion picture garb, and a Colt's navy
revolver slung to him that is big
enough for a coyote to crawl Into. It
hangs suspended in front of him In
stead of at his hip, and from, a cart
ridge belt that sage down eight

inches. Instead of being snug around
his waist as any ordinary sure
enough cowboy would have it, If he
had any such "shootln' iron" at all.
This beautiful modern $500 cowboy
has on a thousand-dollar diamond
ring, something a real cowboy never
saw and wouldn't know what to do
with If he had it. Also he is smok
ing a 15-cent perfecto, with a mod
ern band around its middle, whereas
the real cowboy smoked either a
cigarette or a short pipe, except when
in town on a Jamboree, when he in
dulged in cigars of the 5-cent family
and rank enough, to drive firemen
away front a blazing glue factory.
The stage cowboy always grabs the
heroine and kisses her, but the only
way yoo-could get a real cowboy to
do that in public would be to rope
and brand him and administer chlor
oform. If the cowboy of the old time cat
tle country could see one of these
modern Imitations who travel with
wild-west shows and throw lariats in
vaudeville and literature,- the
chances are he would spit a cupful
of tobacco Juice In his eye and walk
off In utter contempt.
