Eastern Proverbs

EFT man speak what is true, and speak
II what is pleasing; let him not speak what
is true but unpleasing, nor what is pleasing
but untrue. This law changes not.
No other reaps the fruit of deed which a
man commits in this world of men; the fruit
of every deed which a man commits, he shall
reap, and deed whatsoever goes without
its fruit.
Thou thinkest thyself alone and reckest not
of the ancient wise sitting in the heart
in his presence thou sinnest who knoweth the
evil deed.
In the true light seek thou the little master
of the house within, while thou hodest in check
the wind blowing before the door and the
leader of the senses. Why many words?
Through words man cometh not to vision.
Behold the master within the bodyi Why
wanderest thou further in the darkness Of
errors taught by the books?
After much search in many doctrines the
wise have determined the four ways of giving
that lead to welfare in this world and the next.
To those who fear shall a man give confidence;
to the sick, medicine; to those that desire
knowledge he shall give knowledge; to the
hungry, food.
Do not unto others that which would offend
thee; this is the sum of the law, and every
other law alters with occasion.

B1uebeard

7 IKE many of the other heroes of the nurs-
IL cry tales, Bluebeard once lived in the
flesh and blood, if the old chronicer, Holinshed
from whom Shakespeare got much of his
material, is to be believed. According to that
writer, the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz or de Raiz, Marquis of Laval, who be-
came Marshal of France in 1920 He is de-
scribed as an impious and debauched man, a
devotee of the Black Art, who enticed young
men and women to his castle and killed them
in order to obtain innocent blood for his magi-
cal entertainments, and who also murdered six
or seven of his wives. His crimes were dis
covered and he was burned at the stake in
I44o at Nantes.
According to an old French legend, how
ever, the original Bluebeard lived in Britanny
in the sixth century, and was known Count
CORONER. After seven of his wives had dis
appeared, he became enamoured of Triphyna,
the daughter of Count Guereck of Eannes. The
wedding was celebrated at Vannes, and Con-
omer took his bride home.
Before year had passed Triphyna noticed
a change in her husbands manner and fearing
the same fate that had met her predecessors,
she fled from the castle, but was overtaken
by Conomer, who struck off her head with a
single blow ST. Gildas, by whom the I'M
fortunate wife had been educated, happened
to pass the spot soon after, and, seeing the
body, he tenderiy replaced the head, and by
prayer restored Triphyna to life. The story
does not relate the end of Conomer.

ODDS AND ENDS
The Wisest of Fools

THE function of the Kings fool in medieval
1 times was in measure an important one,
and he who filled The post had often very great
influence with his sovereign Perhaps the
brightest and most astute of fools was Trl-
boulet, the favorite jester of Francis l.
1t was reported that His Majesty, who was
of a very generous nature, had acceded to a
request of Charles ", Emperor of Germany,
that he might pass through France on his way
from Spain to the Netherlands. Putting aside
all recollection of what he had suffered at the
Emperor's hands while a captive in Spain,
Francis was preparing to receive Charles with
much ceremony and spendor.
Observing one morning that Triboulet was
scribbling industriously upon a bit of paper,
Francis inquired what he was doing.
81 have just added the name of Emperor
Charles of Germany to my list of fools, y
answered the jester, "a sovereign who is COM
uniting the incredible folly of intrusting him
self to you by passing through your kingdom. "
Folly? How, if l should let him pass
safely?"
Then shall substitute Your name for his, i"
was the audacious retort of the fool.
On one occasion a powerful nobleman,
resenting the gibes of the Kings fool had
threatened to have him logged Immediately
Triboulet appealed to the King for protection.
Have no fear, Tribouet," said Francis.
" If any were bold enough to kill you, should
Triboulet smiled. Please, Your Majesty,
said he, would it not be better to have him
hanged an hour before?"

CAPT. WYNNE'S CASE.
Decision of the Court in the Hands
of Admial Evans,

Much interest is being manifested In mill
tary circles in the case of Capt Robert F.
Wynne Of the Marine Corps, who was re-
Gently tried by general court-martial at the
New York navy yard on charges of insub-
ordination and conduct unbecoming an Of
fcer and gentleman. The hearing of the
testimony was finished last Monday and
the court reached decision and submitted
its report to Rear Admiral Evans, COM
manding the Atlantic fleet. the day follow
ing. Admiral Evans convened the court
and has final Jurisdiction In the matter,
except In the event of sentence involving
dismissal, in which case final action rests
with the President of the United States.
If the case is one for the action of Ad-
miral Evans, 1t is expected that the result
will be officially announced by him in New
York in day or two, but If II should pos
sibly require the action of the President or
the Secretary of the Navy, there will be
greater delay in announcing the result. The
fact that Admiral Evans has so far failed
to announce his action in the matter is as
sumed by some naval officers to indicate
that the officer was not acquitted by the
court, as a verdict of that kind would be
binding and would require 10 further ac-
ton.

ASTOUNDIN G. REPORT
OVER A TON OF ROTTEN FOODS
DESTROYED DAILY.

LONDON, June 16.-The report of DR..
Thomas, the medical officer of the borough
of Stepney, to the local government board
shows that his department during the last
five years has destroyed over a ton of rot
ten timed foods daily at the Stepney
wiarves.
These, he adds, were not American goods,
as practically no canned goods from
American concerns are imported through
the Stepney wharves, but were colonial
meat, fish and fruit. The medical officer
Says he found New Zealand raspberries
treated with sulphur in order to preserve
them.
On their arrival in England the rasp-
berries were soaked in an aniline bath
to restore their color. He considers that
diseased meat once canned will easily defy
detection ,and that strict examination of
the carcasses at the time of slaughtering
is the only means of protection
DR.. Thomas incidentally asks what be-
comes of the tongues of the great number
of horses slaughtered yearly In London
He says he has never seen a horses tongue
exposed for sale and labeled as horse 8
tongue. He urges that increased powers
be given to the public health department.

IOWA CONTROVERSY
REPUBLICAN FAMILY ROW OVER
TARIFF REVISION.

It's really serious republican family row
In Iowa. according to the story Secretary
Shaw has brought back to President Roose-
Welt from that state Moreover, 1t threatens
to take on national proportions.
The worst part Of it all, as Secretary Shaw,
Senator Allison and others see It, is that
the whole fight is over revision of the tariff
The Cumnins faction, which has apparent
ly won out for control of the state conven-
ton, is heart and soul for tariff revision and
proposes to adopt platform this year that
does not contain the two faces that made
the famous Iowa idea" memorable. If the
Cummins people have their way there will
be no necessity to call in a score OF lawyers
to tell just what the platform utterances do
mean.
Secretary Shaw. backed by Senators ALL
son and Dolliver and most of the Iowa
delegation in Congress, belongs to the stand
pat faction of the republican party They
never have liked Cummins anyway, because
he was rude enough to become governor
over the recommendations and desires OF
the machine, to which they belonged And
every nomination for governor he has had.
The animosity to Cummins has increased
with his attitude for tariff revision, opposi-
tion to railroads. trusts and other such
combines. The claim is now made that
Cummins has overstepped republican doc
trines and has practically made himself a
democrat.
Many of the Cummins county conven-
tons. In their resolutions as to the tariff,
used such ugly words about the Dingley
measure as ''extortion," robbery and
shelter for the trusts" This has not been
nice in the ears of the standpat people,
who fear that the Cummins people, IL they
control the convention, will use such words
in the resolutions put In the state conven-
tlon platform. This would be nuts for the
democrats, who would use 1t in all parts
of the country.
The state convention will meet early In
August, and will be composed of ], $40 dele
gates. 1t 10 asserted by the anti-Cummins
faction that there will not be difference
of more than thirty votes between the two
factions in the convention. The Cummins
people claim a much greater difference,
saying they will control the convention by
a majority of from fifty to one hundred
The antl-Cumnlius faction charges that
the Cummins people have voted democrats
in the republican causes, some democrats
voting as many as half dozen times.
There are Just as serious charges against
the other side.
There Is grave fear that the state con-
vention may split and nominate two state
tickets, much as was done In Wisconsin
when the stalwarts pulled away from the
LaFollette people.
