BE MEN

No matter how earnestly the Demo
Gratis in the House of Representatives
may desire to retain their colleague,
Mr.. scotten, as a member, they are not
justified In resorting to such tactics as
they pursued yesterday in dealing with
the bill appropriating 5000 to be used
TO defray the expenses Of Governor
elect Hunn's Inauguration. The inau-
guration of a governor is a function in
which men OF all shades of political
belief participate without partisan ran
cor, and the proper induction into Of
fee Of the States chief executive is a
matter of State and not party pride.
We are glad to know that all the
Democratic members did not partici-
pate in the movement TO kill the bill
Yesterday afternoon, and IL is equally
pleaslng TO learn that there is a dispo-
sition on the part of those
who did kill 1t to- recede from
their discourteous position and play
the manly part in doing their fair
share towards making the Inaugural
ton what it ought to be.
The idea of the party friends of the
governor-elect being compelled to ask
for private subscriptions to udefray the
expenses of his Inauguration is both
repugnant and disgraceful.

Sim Carter, a typical mountaineer,
and between the Carriers and the Rey-
nOlds there exists a feud. one of those
terrible customs Of the locality which
involve the whole family. Missy" is
in love with Bob Reynolds, the son of
her fathers enemy, and the trials she
undergoes in endeavOring to choose
between love and duty are of absorb
ing interest. Miss Lewis in the exact
ing role is a revelation, giving a flaw

TRANSvAAL IN RUSSIA.
Large Colony OF Dutchmen Who
Closely Resemble Their I<ins-
men I'M south Africa.

An enterprising journalist Of st.
Peters burg has just discovered that
there is a large colony OF Dutchmen
in Russia, who in al particulars close
" resemble their knsmen, the Beers
OF South Africa. The colony was es-
tablished in 1920. says the New York
Herald, and consists at present Of
about 800 persons. II is situated In
the districts of Brest-Litovsk and Ko-
vel. and thus is partly under the
Jurisdiction of the government of
Grodno and partly under that of The
government of Volhynia. Ten large
farms cover the territory occupied by
the colonists.
These Dutchmen are called "Hol-
landers" by their Russian neighbors.
They are of the same physical type
as the Beers and their mode OF life is
exactly similar. They wear the same
traditional hat; they spend most Of
their spare time reading the Bible
and they are distinguished for their
great honesty and their love of work.
They admire the Russians and hate
the English just as bitterly as the
Beers hate them. Their houses are
built of stone and they have an
abundance of cattle. The men till
the soil and the women attend 10 the
dairy. They live frugally, INDUCING
in no Intoxicating drink except beer,
and, as the land is good, they have
never known poverty. In the strug-
giles Of their countrymen in South
Africs they take keen interest and
they are prepared 10 give hearty
welcome 70 any of the Beers who
may desire 10 settle near them.

Ex-President Harrison's death has

early history of johnson county, Ind.
The event, according TO the Franklin
Star, took place in White River town

ingly related by James Collins, one
of the principals.
Berrin Reynolds owned a large
flock of geese, and near him resided
Rev. j. X. Surface. The wandering
disposition of geese is a well-known
fact. The ganders of Mr.. Reynolds
flock were wont 10 stray away over
the fields and garden of Mr.. Surface.
This was very annoying 20 the min

trouble for some little time, but final
" patience ceased 10 be a virtue, and
he decided 20 get rid of the trouble

Harrison. The trial took place under

still standing. The trial was by jury.

MUSICAL TASTE OF MONKEYS.
According 20 This Authority IL Runs
40 the Bngpipes Of which They
Are Very Fond.

Now that Prof. Garner is instruct
ing US in the language of monkeys, ID
becomes a matter of family interest,
as il were, to note any peculiarities
Of development In the animals from
which the evolutionists maintain that
the human race descended or. more
properly speaking. assembled. II may
be classed with the study of geneal-
ogy. The author of Studies in Cor
sica" touches on monkey music in
speaking of the bagpipe.
"The well-known boast of patriotic
Scotchmen that the bagpipe is sacred
TO Scotland, and speaking language
which only Scotchmen feel, is as
slight in foundation as il is dubious
in import In Syria. in Persia, in
Afghanistan and India, in fact,
throughout the south Of both Europe
and Asia, the bagpipe is known and
is enthusiastically cultivated
"In India, If i may believe some sol
der friends, the pipes attached 10 the
Highland regiments are far more
enjoyed by the native population than
the best brass bands of other bat
talions.
NAY, so much akin 10 our original
nature is the dulcet music Of the
simple bagpipe that il is the one sort
Of music which stirs the monkeys.
For, according 10 the testimony Of
the same officers, the Indian mon
keys, although unmoved by bands,
are so powerfully fascinated by the
Scottish pibroch that when a detach-
ment OF Highlanders is marching TO
the pipes, and when the roadway ira
versed is lined with trees, the mon
keys will follow the troops with signs
of delight, scrambling after them
from tree 10 tree. From facts such
as these one cannot doubt that the
bagpipe is one OF our Oldest instru-
ments."

BERLIN's CHILD EXCHANGE.
In THAT City Folks Take Country
Children and Send Their own
Ont OF Town.

The oldest plan yet proposed for
furthering the right development Of
children has been adopted in Berlin,
says the New York Sun. 1t provides
for an interchange Of city and country
children.
The poorer people OF Berlin who
cannot afford family outings send
their children to the peasant families
in the country and in return receive
for time an equal number of peasant
children, who thus get chance TO see
the wonders of the city and TO brighten
up by contact with life different
from their own.
The charitable German women who
have devised this temporary exchange
of children are highly pleased with the
way the scheme works so far. Recip-
rocal selfish interest in their own chill
dren, they say, prompts considerate
treatment Of the little visitors by the
families in each home.
The most enthusiastic supporters Of
the plan would like 10 extend IL. If the
experience gained by the city children
in the country and country children in
the city is SO valuable, they want 10
know why an international exchange
of children a little older. between the
different countries wouldn't be Of ben
eft all around
Tn e ISN'T any great likelihood Of
the Csr.lr rs rlan being developed
thus far, because English, French and
American ideas don't fall In with this
scheme Of putting the home idea out
Of existence. But the German women
can't imagine why il should not be a
great success.

Charles p. Clark, formerly president

Maud S. and sent her 20 Charter Oak
park 10 be trained the writer met Mr..
Clark under peculiar circumstances.
The train we had taken from New
York did not stop at the track, and
Mr.. Bonner requested us 10 try d.
plomacy. The conductor was polite,
but could not go against orders. AT
New Haven, where a halt was made,
the engineer was approached. The
sight of ten-dollar hill had almost
persuaded him TO slow up at Charter
Oak, when suddenly his manner
changed and there was a curt re-
fusal. We were informed that Mr..
Clark had boarded the train at New
Haven, and quickly went in search Of
him. We found him silent and in
clined 10 be grutf, but stated the
case plainly TO him.
why don't You see the conductors"
he asked. IL have. but he will not
disobey orders" "Why not, then, go
forward and bribe the engineer?" II
tried bribery az New Haven, but 1t
would not work" The absence OF
evasion was the best policy. Mr.. Clark
went 10 the drawing-room car with
MS, was introduced 20 Mr.. Bonner,
spoke in admiration OF Maud S. and
OF the position Of her owner in trot-
ting affairs and then ordered the
conductor 20 stop the train. He also
took card from his pocket and wrote
on IL a general order 10 conductors
10 stop all trains at Charter Oak park
for Mr.. Bonner. Mr. Clark had wit
messed the little attempt AT bribery.
and frank confession Of the offense
seemed to please him.
