venal candidates for office. Such ire
spectables' are the despair Of the pat
riotc men who, in our day and in a
thousand communities, are trying to
stay the tide Of that political corrup-
ton which, according to so good a
friend Of America as John Morley,
''for the moment obscures the great
democratic experiment."
It comes to this, that "the period of
corruption" which friends Of Amerl-
cans abroad are called upon so often
to apologize fora corruption which,
while bad enough, is not so deeply
rooted as our enemies believe-can be
brought to an end only by the growth
Of a sense Of honor, of scrupulousness
backed by moral bravery, upon the
part of individuals in the republic. 1t
Is not fantastic to aver that a gift Of
Imagination would assist some people
to he v1rtuOus. If citizen should feel
that his own lack Of scruple, in any
direction, was contribution to the
corruption and dishonor Of his country,
and that his personal withstanding of
temptation to do wrong was not only
an act Of private virtue but had pat
r1ot1c uses as well-if he were con-
WINGED for instance, that his refusal to
vote as a truste for a contribution to a
bribery fund or to a dishonest boss
was a means Of doing away with a
national dlsgracetf he had the i'm
"gInation to grasp the large bearings
Of his individual action, it would be
easier for him to take a stand for
righteousness instead Of weakly acuui-
esclng In some customary wrong. Arts
totle's idea of the state was associa-
ZION in life Of felicity and noble
ness but Christianity ought not to
nave to look to paganism for ideals Of
good citizenship and the making of
righteous people-Century.

CHIEF LOGANs ToMAHAwk

Found In HE Former Haunts-Country
Rich In Prehistoric Relics.
1t Is not generally known that Ara
coma, better known as Logan, is richer
in prehistoric relics than any other
town on the face Of Gods green earth,
says the New York Telegram. The
county was named In honor of Logan,
chief Of the Mingo tribe Of Indians,
and the county seat Of Logan County
was named in honor of the beautiful
daughter of Logan-Indian princess
Aracoma. An effort was made at the
last municipal election there to change
the name Aracoma to Nighbert. The
citizens voted almost unanimously
against it. Only a short time ago ex-
cavations were made at Aracoma for
small cellar, when fourteen Indian
skeletons were unearthed, and among
the number the remains of Aracoma, the
Indian princess. More than wagon
load of bones were disinterred, bear
tusks ten inches long and many Indian
ornaments in that excavation not more
tnan twenty feet square
The larger part Of the town site OF
Aracoma is a charnel house, containing
as many skeletons as the catacombs OF
Rome, 'all Of various tribes Of Indians
that lived and died there. These skele'
tons, SO long undisturbed, will be un'
earthed by the thousands in rev
weeks when the railroad grading TOT
the Guyan Valley Railway will be con-
structed through the Indian cemetery
The writer is the possessor OF tnss
finest and largest specimen OF lndlan
tomahawk in existence, which was pre-
scented few days ago to him by MOSES
Mounats, one of the prominent farm,
ers of the Guyan Valley and wnos0
home Is on Island Greek, near the to"n
Of Aracoma. 1t Is positively known
that Logan, chief Of the Mingos' "oro
and used this tomahawk when ne was
at his zenith as chief commander our
ing the Indian wars.

Bismarck,s Wonderful Ewes.

No one ever came into the presence
Of the Chancellor without a deep
sense of the mind-power reflected from
those large gray-blue orbs. Their
flashing brilliancy and the piercing
penetration Of the glances shot from
them were never to be forgotten.
They seemed incapable of expressing
affection, and their steel-like hardness
only inspired awe for the towering in
tellect. the irresistible will, the defiant
courage, the fiery energy Of their own
er. To watch the lightning changes
of expression mirrored in them, re-
flecting the strong emotions evoked by
humbled pride. wounded ambition
and thwarted selfishness? and. above
all, by the loss of his absolute sway,
was indeed an enviable privilege

Jane Austen wrote to her sister in
1914, Il have determined to trim my
lilac sarsenet with black satin ribbon,
just as my China Grape is, sixpenny
width at the bottom, three-penny or
fourpenny at top. Ribbon trimmings
are all the fashion at Bath. With this
addition 1t will be a very useful gown,
happy to go anywhere" Emerson
quotes, with admiring submission"
the experience Of the lady who de-
clared that "the sense of being perfect
y well-dressed gives a feeling of in
ward tranquility which religion Is
powerless to bestow." So the clever
woman and the philosopher pay their
tribute to the spell of dress. ANY wom-
an who has qualms of conscience at
the amount Of time and thought she
must give to her clothes may gather
cheer from the innocent pleasure 50
genuine a nature as Miss Austen's
found in the simple task of making a
gown happy to so anywhere" The
woman who has compassed the art Of
making that kind of gown has done
herself a large service and the world
no small one. We should have lad
mired" to see Miss Austen attired in
the lilac sarsenet with the black satin
ribbon. We may be sure that not only
was the gown happy to go anywhere,
but that the wearer was happy in It,
and that the company was happy to
have her. A gentle word, a charitable
act, difficult sacrifice are each more
easy in a well-ftting and becoming
dress. Perhaps it my be a sign of our
Bervitude to earth that this should be
no; but while we live here we are
bound to look facts in the face, and
cherish the ideal of the "happv"
gown.

She answered her own question.

De Naryille looked hard at her in the

Jessica nodded assentingly.
"Yes," said she, my friends have

of reproach, "who rendered us our first

"True, but it was such little ball to

Her eXpectant eyes rested on the

They turned from the clock to the

He advanced, and De Narville, ris-

exhaustive researches into the home
life Of hundreds Of families In all parts
Of the country. He wanted to know
how the average family spent their
Income. He found folks who ate them

ed hard-earned dollars, and one fact
that seems bigger than all the rest. Ac-
cordinG to his figures the average fam

to 26 per cent of their gross income
to the landlord. In other words, the
brcadwinner works nearly or quite
one-fourth of his time for the privilege
Of a roof to cover his head. It is a

they will. 1t only takes little pluck,
