ITS 4 BEAUTY

Well, you bet it's beautiful. Our Gal endar this year is an ornament to any home. It is q 22x15 banner and pre- sents the picture of the much talked of Mary Ann's youngest little girl. It S really too bad Mary Ann didn't use better Judgment when she was buying the poor little innocent's hat, for her hat instead of being the flat almost straight pointed up-to-date, is just one year ahead of the times, and is the style which will be all the go in l9o4. Then again Mary Ann ddn't teach her how to hold up her dress correctly be- cause it's the front she's holding up sustead Of the back and unfortunately she shows how clumsy hosiery looks when they are too large, for in the pic. iure one of them has taken drop and the other is going to do likewise. De that as it may, she wears a real Wa terbury smile. which means sure cure for any case of the blues.

news of an Apache raid Lieutenant
King was among the officers sent to
pursue and punish.
To make a long. story short, Lieuten-
ant King and Sergeant Taylor were
scouting around In the mountains
little apart from the troops, expecting
every minute to find the Indians. King
did. He found a mess Of them. and ia
the shots that followed he was wounded
twice by arrows and then his right arm
was shattered by a bullet He tried to
run back to his comrades. but his
strength failed him. He would have
Taylor slung the wounded man over his
shoulder and with a bowling pack of
Indians in close pursuit started down
the side of canyon. Now and then
Sergeant Taylor stopped to turn and
put a bullet through an Indian. Tit
bullets fell thick and fast about Taylor
and the wounded lieutenant King or
dered the sergeant to leave him and
escape The sergeant refused, saved
Kings life, and for the pluclxy deed was
given a medal of honor. This incident
forms large part of the story, by Gen
eral King, THE Worst Man in the
Lieutenant Billings" and Sergeant
Taylor is Sergeant O'Grady."
A Daughter Of the Sioux" is the
story of Sioux Indian girl, Nanette
lower, ana young brave of the tribe.
Ral0h Mo~eau. who had been educated
at the Carlisle Indian school and then
gone back to the tribe to wage war on
the whites. Nanette Flower, handsome
ana captivating, was entertained at
Fort Frayne by the post trader, got 4
young officer tangled up in a love affair
win an the plots and counter plots thaS
only King can weave. Nanette Flower
Kept the Indians informed of the move
ments of the soldiers-but it would take
SUI pages, which would be to copy Cen
era Kings novel, to tell the story
General King has had a sermon to
preach IN every novel he has written
often he has told of the all wise law
makers at Washington and the people
Who never saw Indians on the war
berated the officials who allowed the
soldiers TO fight back and kill a few.
just as the Atkinson anti-imperialists
Of Boston kept up a TRADE on the car
rying on of the war in the Philippines
Another point that King has brought
out YVES the fact that the army was
supplied with out of date carbines
while the government saw that the In
dams were given Sharps rifles. other
modern weapons of war, and fed and
blanketed.
So, in a Daughter of the Sioux" he
brings into startling prominence the
fact that Lo the Poor Indian isn't al
ways such a civilized being after he
has played football at Carlisle. Per
haps a good deal of it is true. It may
be history. At any rate, coming from
King, it is all probable.
A Daughter of the Sioux" besides
being we'll written, is superbly illus
trated and is neat testimonial of the
handieraft of the book maker.

first author of his acquaintance who
ever seemed to me to place the doctrine
of non-resfstance on a substantial ba-
SIS. The part of his treatise which
deals with the state he confesses to be
very fragnentary and in nowise SO COM
plete as can be found in other volumes
but in the portion which deals with
crime and punishment I have found a
much newer field and one which has
generally been discussed by those who
have little practical knowledge of the
machinery of courts Of Justice" That
this charge can not be made against
Mr.. barrow is what gives his theories
peculiar value. For a lawyer to advo-
cate the ineficacy of criminal law and
punishment is a strange thing. One
looks for such ideas from the idle
dreamer and theorist but not from the
successful man of affairs.
Resist Not Evil is based on the injunc-
ton of Jesus. Judge not that We be not
judged and I'VE have heard that 1t hath
been said: An eye for eye and a tooth
for a tooth But say unto you that We
resist lot evil, but whatsoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek turn to him she
other also" 1t IS vivid and startling ar
raignment Of the doctrine Of force and
punishment.
1t advocates the abolition of armies and
na-vies and consequently of war among
civilized nations, denies the remedial eI-
fects of punishment Of crime and the pos
slb1l1ty OF Just punishment. AS PROOF taat
the world is slowly growing to reallza-
ton of the inherent cruelty and useless
ness of criminal law and punishment It
compares the humaneness of the present
penal systems to those that existed IN Tor
rner days Mr. Darrow's sociaHstic views
are well known and it is no surprise to
find that he believes perfect economical
and social equality would do away with
crime. The doctrine of non-reslstance. as
he says, has never been tried, so It IS I'M
possible to tell whether its effect would be
for the increase or diminishment of crime,
but as all the systems of punishment
which have thus far been devised have
been Intellectual and the proportion Of
criminals in every community increases
with the growth of the community 1t Is
stupid and cruel to persist in punishments
which debase and harden all those even
remotely connected with them, from the
Judges that pronounce sentence to the little

the horrible details in the newspaper left
within his reach
