the passing years that lave silvefed
the hair on his honored head have
also put into his generous heart an
impulse to speak for peace. In
recent editorial in his splendid Louis

aiuons he produced this telling SEN

thority thus conferred by nature may
be exercised to the great gain of~civ-
irzauon? Because history is chiefly
a record OF battle, must il forever be.

creed by the Creator. The strength
of a country is not measured BY ar

Manager Norton until he preached the
check matter. He had given mis- name
as Frank Fisher. but the check was
made out TO Frank c. Fearis. which
aroused Manager Norton's suspicious.
Instead of disturbing his guest. how
ever, Norton invited him OUT To the
ball game.
There was some fast work at the
park, which held the strangers atten-
ton, but it wasn't any faster work
than was being done in the typewriter
office, where kilograms were crossing

Fearis was not employed there, and
that they had received other reports
OF similar conduct in various other
