E Clubs Cluss are of various kinds. Some are the products of civilization, and others date back to the dark ages. Man in his prim- itive state had to carry a club when he went forth of a morning if he wished to return at night, and some- times the club car- ried by another aboriginal prevented his return at all. And early man used the club as modern man uses more scientific tools as a means to get a living. This primitive type of club is going out of fashion, although it is still met here and there. It is the badge and symbol of authority of the policeman, a fact suggesting that mankind is not ad- vancing as rapidly as mankind should. Another sort of club is the outcome of man's desire to fellowship with his kind. A very large number of men are never happy unless they are with others for one reason or another. There is the sociai club, the political club, the scientific club, the artistic club, as well as the Odd Fellows, the Free Masons, the Knights of Pythias, and other bodies all of which are essentially clubs and represent man’s wish for companionship along lines that do him good in one way or another. Some of these clubs have goats which furnish in theory, if not in practice, a great deal of fun, and all of them have dues. There are men who join clubs for purely selfish reasons, like the grocer, who gets trade thereby, and the poli- tician, who gets office. And women are not behindhand in the club game. They have whist, sewing, gossip and a great variety of other clubs, not ‘including the rolling-pin, the poker and other articles of domestic utility adapted to use when husbands come home late using their own clubs as excuses, In some form the club promises to survive as long as the race. Brief Decisions ‘THERE is always something to learn about a man beyond the details in a letter of introduction. [s) Efficiency experts can get points by watching the methods of some women in managing their husbands. is) There are more bitter things in life than medicine. Now goes the boy unwillingly to school. A WARNING Don't never trust no mel Nor efelunts nor whal Don’t tell no secrets front 0 "Cause they all carry “tails,” L § A Growing Profession TIS getting so of late thata burglar never knows when he is going to be interrupted. It is esimated that in one day recently there were one hundred and twenty houses robbed in the United States and in this number of .‘‘jobs’’ three burglars were surprised attheir work. Every one of these interruptions oc- curred the same day. It goes to show that the profession is becom- ing extremely hazardous. Here are the three molested craftsmen: A man in East St. Louis surprised a burglar in his kitchen and broke a tum- bler over his head. A Brooklyn woman hit a burglar with a poker. A man in Sharon Pa., knocked a burg- lar senseless with a bed slat. All of these attacks were made by peo- ple living in the houses. Not a single po- liceman disturbed one of the dark lantern craft. The statistics of this day showing what per cent. are bothered before they finish their tasks are surprising. One burglar out of forty was humbled and embarassed before he could withdraw. If this keeps on it won't be long until the police will be interfering. Pie and Politics HE WOMEN of Wyoming are re- sponsible for the domestic science course recently introduced into the state university. While politics had not made them forget pie it undoubtedly will in time. The complete success of the suffrage movement will not banish bargain coun- ters or fortune tellers. comicbooks.com
