With wonderful unanimitv a

With wonderful unanimity and
sameness of style the political
ring papers of the county rise up
and condemn Lewis Johnson for
daring to raise the question of his
successors eligibility to the Office
of county auditor. What posi-
BILE harm could it do? Wasn't it
better to have a question like that
passed on? Lewis Johnson made
a painstaking and thorough coun-
ty officer, and deserves credit for
years of service rather than kicks.
johnson was too cautious and
fairminded to make a successful
politician and serve the ends of
the steering politicians.

Bluebeard.

Like many OF the other heroes Of
ed in the flesh and blood. IL the old
chronicler, Holinshed, from whom
Shakespeare got so much of his mate
rial. is to be believed. According to that
writer, the original Bluebeard was
Giles de Retz or de RaiZ. Marquis Of
Laval, who became Marshal Of
France in 1929. He is described as
an impious and debauched man, de-
votee of the Black Art. who enticed
young men and young women to his
castle and killed them in order to OBJ
tain innocent blood for his magical
entertainments. and who also murder
ed six or seven of his wives. His
crimes were discovered and he was
burned at the stake in 1440 at Nam
teS.
According to an old French legend,
however, the original Rluebeard lived
in Brittany I'm the sixth century. and
was known as Count Conomer. At
ter seven of his wives had disappear
ed, he became enamoured OF Triphy-
ma. the daughter of Count Guereck OF
Vannes. The wedding was celebrated
at Vannes. and Conomer took his
bride home.
Before year had passed Triphyna
noticed a change in her husbands
manner, and, fearing the same fate
thot bo1 mot har nredecessOrS she
fled from the castle, but was overtak-
en- by Conomer, who struck off her
head with a single blow. ST. Gildas
by whom the unfortunate wife had
been educated, happened to pass the
spot soon after, and, seeing the body
he tenderly replaced the head, and by
prayer restored Triphyna TO life. The
story does not relate the end of Como
