Those who are opposed TO the reelection
Of Senator Squire have entered upon .
campaign of vituperation and Islander.
which is disgraceful alike to them and to
their cause. They assail Senator Squire
without the slightest regard to truth or
decency. apparently hoping by persistent
and unbounded defamation to ALLEVIATE .
sufficient number OF his friends in the
legislature to prevent his election.
The latest Islander. together with q posi-
tive and unequivccd denial, is published
in another column. The story is. in effect,
that Senator Squire furnished money to
assist in the defeat of two Republican
legislative candidates who were supposed
70 Be opposed to his reelection. Time,
place and circumstances are related with
startling precision, and the only objection
to the whole story is that it IL IN internal
lie.
To those who know the sturdy nature Of
6enstor Squire's Rspublicanism it il I'M
necessary to say that his efforts were put
forth earnestly in favor OF the election of
every Republican legislative candidate in
the state, regardless Of whether he might
be expected to vote for Squire or for
Calkins. Throughout the campaign he
maintained the attitude Of sincere and
consistent Republican. earnestly DESTROYS
Of his party's triumph. His defamers
know this to b. true, and this knowledge
adds TO the rnalignity of their attacks.
The truth Is that clear majority Of the
members-elect Of the legislature are in
favor Of Senator 6quire's reelection. His
enemies are aware Of this, and the knowl-
edge makes them frantic. They realize
that they cannot hope to defeat him by
fair means. Their only hope Hes in de-,
taching some Of his supporters. This can
not be done by honor able means. and they
therefore resort to Islander and vitupera-
ton.
Such campaigns never win. and the fail
ure Of this one is Is much matter of GER
tainty rs II Senator Squire had already
been reelected.

Long FaSts.

Carnivorous animals, according to
Charles Richct, bear fasting better than
the herbivorous, the latter being accus-
toned to cat almost continuously instead
of at uncertain intervals. Dogs can en-
dure abstinence thirty days, on the aver
age, and cold-bloodcd animals twice that
time. A python, however, has been
known to live twcnty-thrcc months with
out eating, rattlesnakc twenty mine
months, tortoise eighteen months, and
frog sixteen months. The endurance
depends greatly upon the activity of the
nervous system, which is wonderfully re-
duced during the torpidity Of alternating
creatures, but the fatal limit of fasting is
usually reached in all animals when the
loss i'll weight reaches forty per cent. In
the case OF man, in health, the estimate
seems justified that twenty days Of fust
will bring death. But with special pre-
partitions, as in the cases of Turner, Sue
CT and Mcrlatti, fasting seems to have
been prolonged to twice this Period, or
longer, without fatal result Diseased
persons often live much longer without
food than healthy ones could. A Dutch
hystcric woman died i'll 1926 nftcr nearly
four years Of fasting; and another woman
died i'll 1925 after II lcthnrgic fast Of six
months. Many cases of wonderful fasts,
less entitled to belief, ARE given by mcdi-
cal writers OF two or three centuries ago.
Among them is that of n girl of IIeidel-
berg who neither ate nor drank for seven
years, that of girl of Spires who lived
for three years upon nothing but n few
drops of water or wine, and that of girl
of Cologne who tasted four years and
tainted at the taste of food. In the Inst
century woman is said to have lived
twenty-six years in n state of partial fast
ing, relieved mt intervals by few drops
OF milk or broth; and another woman
ute in II year only what an ordinary per-
son would require for two days.-ArAun-

the past year has tie ured in more disasters
than any other. In the first place, it
plunged over the bridge Mt Lqtrobc last
summer, wrccking the whole train and
killing the engineer, fireman and ten
Others, and seriously injuring about IL
dozen persons. About month after
ward it collidcd with train near Manor,
seriously injuring the fireman and wreck
ing number of cars. Again in n few
weeks, while ascending the mountains,
its boiler burst, and the fireman was
blown through the cab window and
badly hurt. 1t was repaired and once
more put on the road, and all went well
until about six weeks ago, when it again
ran into freight at Manor Station,
smashing ten or twelve cars and slightly
injuring the fireman. Lastly, while
running near Sang Hollow, it got into
another scrlpc. This time its oil can
exploded ard severely burned both en-
gincer and fireman. Tt is said that the
employees of the road intend to ask the
company to discontinue its use.-PhiLa-

also spoke of the deceitful palor lent to

Pliny speaks of connection of -four of

The custom of painting the face was
brought to Gaul and Germany bv the
Romans. \ few centuries later 100 diff
fcrcnt salvcs for the complexion were
sold in the German market. In modern
times France has been the great man
utacturcr and consumer OF cosmetics In
England, too, the use of them has been
general. In 1879 the English Parlia-
mcnt found it expedicnt to consider Il

The Colossus of Rhodes.

The Colossus of Rhodes was SO called
to distinguish it from other colossal
figures, said by some writers to have
numbered over 100, which, during the
days Of its prosperity, were set up in the
city OF the Sun, " MS the capital of the
Island OF Rhodes was POLITICALLY called.
The Colossus came third in the list of the
seven wonders of the world, and was
consccrated to the sun, the deity of
Rhodes. 1t was made of brass, cast in
sections and is said to have been the
work of Charcs of Lindus, pupil of
the great Lysippus. 1t was twenty
cubits Supposed to have been $50 feet
high, and cost the city about 300 talents,
or S350, 900 as we reckon money nova
days. Over twelve years work was spent
on this early monster, which with all its
grandeur, was destined to II very short
career. Fifty years after its completion,
in the year 22I b. c., according to
Pliny, this gigantic cmblcmntic figure
WAS thrown down by an earthquake. The
Colossus stood ut the entrance to the
hnrbor, with each of its mighty feet on
solid stone foundations, ships in full
sail passing and repassing between the
gigantic legs. Dclepcrre, the historian,
says that it WAS not erected ut the ell
trance to the harbor, as stated by Pliny,
but that it stood on an open space near
the Pacha's scraglio. Still another
writer says it was reconstructed during
the reign of the Emperor vcspnsian, and
that after the Island of Rhodes had been
conquered by Caliph Othnan, in the
seventh! century of our era, it was taken
down and the metal sold to jew, who
transported it to Syria, caravan of $50
camcss being necessary to carry his
purchasc.-,St. Louis R5puJiic.

A Cloak That Cost $4,000.

"Tne most remarkable experience 1
have ever had since have been engaged
in the fur trade was years ago in Russia. -
said John Ruszits, the millionaire fur
rier. 81 was then conducting business
in small way in my native land. One
day 1 was surprised by summons to the
imperial palace at St. Petersburg, where
l received an order for fur-lined cloak
or robe for one of the daughters of the
Car. Tho work was to be done in the
royal palace, and the fur used was what
we call royal sable, the most expensive
in the world. a single skin is worth
500. 1t comes from Siberia, and SO far
ms | know WAS never brought over to this
country. Iforget now how many skins
were used in lining the wonderful gar
ment. but their value was over $50, 900.
Oar work upon the robe was watched
very carefully By members of the royal
family or their attendants. Every moryy.
ing the Princess came in to see now the
work was progressing, and every even
ing the Princess or lady in waiting
came in and counted the skins before we
were allowed to leave, SO rs to prevent
any possibility OF a scrap of the valuable
fur from being taken away. It took a
week to finish the robe, and when it was
done it was probably the most extensive
one in all history. "-Neio York Star.
