to Representative Hedge of Iowa. Ken
nedy led his friend around to the
Iowans desk. ''Hedge-Hogg," was his
laconic exclamation as the two met.

II is now believed that either Gener-
al Wood or Major Runcie will be
courtmartialed as result Of the in
vestigation concerning the latter's now
celebrated article in the North Amer
lean Review, which denounced Gener-
al Brooks and praised General Wood,
and which, It is charged, was instigat
is said to be the only man who can
tell which of the two men told the
truth concerning the matter, and he
will be summoned to testify before the
Ecnate committee on military affairs.
Major Runcie has declared that the
article was planned at dinner in San
tiago at which General Wood, Baker
and himself were present, and that he
was requested by General Wood to
write it. The letter positively denios
the statements made by Major Runcie.
IL is reported at Washington that Pres
idont Roosevelt has assured Senator
Hanna that he will withdraw General
Woods nomination il it can be prov
ed that he was responsible for the at
tack on General Brooke. 1t is also
claimed to be probable that the presi-
dent would, under those circumstances,
'order General Woods courtmartial on
scharges Of conduct prejudicial to dis
-cipline Although Major Runcie is on
the retired list he is amenable to mil
iitary regulations, and friends of each
are wondering which will be punished.

3 Under the heading "a Dishonored
Nation" the St. Clairsville Gazette
makes the following attack upon Pres
ident Roosevelt and the Panama Incl
dent:
! when the good people of this ma
tion meet in their churches Thursday
the annual Thanksgiving-to give
thanks to the Creator for national ben
efits bestowed, it will be a humiliating
fact that the minister in his prayers, IL
he is sincere Christian, must crave
indulgence for the national sin of
grand larceny. Those who have fol-
lowed the shifting facts In the recent
erection Of the republic of Panama can
hardly escape the conviction that the
administration has fomented the re-
volt of the state of Panama and put
every obstacle possible in the way Of
The parent government retaining its
seeding state. From these facts, It is
equally apparent that the great repub-
llc OF the United States, in the mad
pursuit OF greed and an unholy ambi-
tion has consented to be the receiver
Of stolen property, and the president
hasphemously calls on the people to
cit down in an attitude of worship to
thank God for putting II into our pow
er TO steal another State"

Mary sradY,
Obe Fearless
Woman .Jai1er

III T used to be said that there were no
women vikings, but few months
ago the skeleton Of a woman bur-
led with her horse and armor was
found in Norway. The fact that the
armor fitted the woman's skeleton "as
though she had been melted and
poured into it, proved beyond dispute
that there were also women vikings,
tremendous, fearless, full of fight.
The viking matter being settled for
good and ALL it remains for the United
States today, twentieth century, to
show a woman who is keeper and
guard Of county pail-a Jail, too,
where characters as desperate as any
in skins, both white and black, are
prisoned. That woman is Mary Grady,
the official jailer of Talladega county,
Ala. Talk of woman's weakness and
helplessness and dependence! Great
Mary Grady is feet inches tall and
large and strong in proportion. Maybe
she Is the reincarnation Of that same
tremendous viking lady who was buried
with her horse and armor in Norway
so many centuries ago. At any rate,
Mary Grady Is brave, powerful and
real enough to be anything that mortal
can be, past, present or future.
In Talladaga county the heroine is
called molly Grady" A correspondent
of the Sunny South prints an inter
view with her that ought to be read
aloud at city women's club meetings.
The story would be so refreshing.
The interviewer found that Molly
Grady had had charge Of Talladega
Jail six years. and no prisoner escaped
during her term. She is deeply in
earnest" and that accounts for much
of her greatness. The way she got her
regular appointment was through frus-
trating an attempted Jail delivery.
That is so good story it must be told
by itself. Molly's brother, wrongfully
accused, it turned out, was a prisoner
in Talladega Jail. Molly went repeat
edly to see him. Once the man who
was jailer at the time had to go to
the village on an errand while Molly
was at the prison. She could not get
to her hill home because of storm
that was raging. It was after dark
that the iailer started to the village.
Molly had told him she would keep
guard during his absence. The faith
he had In her Is evident, for he left her
with the keys. At any moment she
might have opened her brothers cell
and let him walk out s
Molly stood guard In the night at the
entrance to the prison. She heard a
grating sound and crash at the rear
Of the building. She sprang around
there and saw man just about to de
scend TO the ground from "a window.
Halt. or I'll shootps. roared Molly
Grady. The man sneaked back In
