FORTUNE FOR CONVERT.
Who Gives $5O,00O to Rescue Mission
 That Helped Him.

Elizabeth, N. J., May 21.-A year ago William L. Ralston of Pittsburg wandered into the rescue mission in First street a physical wreck and without a cent in his pockets. Yes terday he pledged $50,000 to the mis- sion in recognition of the successful efforts of the superintendent, Howard T. Scheckler, to make a man of him. the death of his aunt, Mrs. Jennie Ralston, who leaves him more than s30O,O0O
 terday from Pittsburg, where he had been to settle the various business matters necessary before he could get the legacy. The money will be turned over to him within a month.
 One year ago." he said, "I drifted into Eliza beth. I didn't know then why had come here, but now I be- lieve that it was an act of Providence that guided my footsteps along First street. I was down and out and only a shadow of my former self. I had had a lot of bad luck and had been drinking. I felt that I would never amount to anything. I was too proud to ask aid of any of my relatives in Pittsburg, although I knew that they were rich. Nor did I suppose that would ever come into anything that was theirs.
 T didn't have any place to sleep the first night, but on the second learned of the Rescue Mission and decided to go there. I shall never forget the way that MT. Scheckler greeted me"

DRAINAGE OF SWAMP LANDS.
Time For A General Convention To Consider the Undertaking.

In the South there are thousands of acres of swamp land, now practically Valueless, save for the timber which may be growing. Many drainage ex- perts are of the that most of this land can be reclaimed for agricultural pur- poses. To ascertain the extent to which this may be profitably under sized appropriation to be used in in- vestigation in several States.
 Drain these sWamps and there will be additional thousands of acres of land opened up to cultivation in the South. Drainage should be less ex- pensive proposition than irrigation.
 The productiveness of swamp land properly drained is not exceeded by any other land in the country. Vir- of this kind of land that could be made arable by drainage. The Federal Government has not been lavish in spending money in the South, and no other section would have just cause for complaint should it now spend some on the drainage project.
 suggestion has been made that a convention be held some time this fall by those interested in the reclamation Of swamp lands to push along the Gov ernment's proposition. Baltimore wants the convention, and Senator John Walter Smith, of Maryland, q sion which will conduct the drainage member of the Congressional commis- investigation, will likely do all that he can to have Baltimore selected as the convention city provided a convention Is to be held. Norfolk would be bet ter and more central place for it, but held here or elsewhere the convention would be good thing.-Norfolk Landmark

DEMOCRATIC ULTINfATUM.
Senate Must Act on the House Bills or
 There Will Not Be Any Recess,

Washington, May 21.-'Unless the senate agrees to vote on the farmers free Tits bill, already passed by the house, and the bill to cut the woolen duties in half, which will soon be re- ported and passed, congress will be In session in Washington straight through until December If the sen ate agrees to vote on these two meas ures congress will recess from the first of July to the first of October"
 This is the substance of an ultima tum from the democratic leaders of the house to the republican leaders of the senate, delivered this morning. AS the senate does not at this time seem at all disposed even to consider, much less vote on, the farmers free list bill, 1t is conceded that the chances for an early getaway are not bright.
 "The managers of the majority party in the house demand that we do something with their their political bills as price for the recess" was the explanation made to-day by Sena- tor Burton, who has been active in endeavoring to bring about a recess agreement.
 "As I understand it the house fna- jority leaders do not insist upon the passage of all their bills. They are good enough to indicate as to the passage or defeat of the. measures. But they want us to indicate un- equivocally before we go home whether we will or will not pass them. Unless we declare ourselves one way or the other there apparently will not be any recess"

Utilizing Her Accomplishment.

For long time people wondered why the tailor's wife came into the shop as soon as a customer came in to try on a skirt and sat around tell ing funny stories till the fitting was over. One day the tailor explained.
 ''She does that to make women stand naturally" he said. Unless something is going on to take their minds off themselves, they strike a perfectly ridiculous attitude. Every few minutes I caution them to stand natural, but their self-consciousnes ess won't let them. They throw their waist forward and their hips back, until a skirt fitted the way they are then standing is about two inches too short in front and two inches too long in the back when they fall back into an everyday position. But just get a woman interested in something be- sides herself and and she will forget to pose.
 My wife interests them She can't sew and she can't cut and fit, and for long time I couldn't figure out what use I could put her to in the shop, but finally I discovered that she has a mighty talent for story telling, and after I took to utilizing her one accomplishment alterations in skirts fell off 90 per cent

to escape, many never to return un- less compelled to under guard of a civil officer, who is anxious to get the $50 reward offered for a deserter's apprehension. Those who return after a few days absence without per- mission are slammed in the mill, ,'' where the spirit is again crushed and the climb to honor and respect made more difficult than ever. Caught and sentenced for desertion, they are no longer citizens of the United States truly men without a country. These deserters, then, make fine material for criminals.
 The use of dope" and the spread of contagious diseases are due, in a very large degree, to the use of poisonous intoxicants which the sol diers get in these "can-dumps" and dives. When the system is under mined with such poisons, the individ- ual becomes the prey of all sorts of vices. At Presidio. California, last year, it was stated by an Army sur geon in charge that 20 per cent of the use of cocaine, morphine, opium, etc. There are other posts in which similar state of affairs exists. It Is, indeed, no wonder that insanity is in- creasing among the men of the Regu- lar Army.
 In several posts the sale of drugs to dope fiends' has become a profit able business for peddlers. Of course, this is against Army regulations, but like many another rule with refer ence to the health and wellbeing of the soldiers, it is violated. Many soldiers have given up whisky, beer, etc., for the stronger poisons. It is needless to say that those who reach this condition cannot remain very long in the Army. They either de- sert or are given term in the guard house, after which they are dishonor- ably discharged from the Army. In the last report of the Judge Advocate General there is no mention of the number of dishonorable discharges, known the facts would be more startling even than the number of de- sertions, because, since the heavy penalties have been placed on deser- tion, many of those who want to get out of the Army before their three years are up break the rules in order to get five or more summary courts martial, and then they are tried by g. general court-martial and dis charged from the service.
 When 90 per cent of the Army off cers want the canteen restored to the enlisted men 1t is about time that Congress recognizes it's mistake. Those In a position to know have learned that by depriving the soldier stead of encouraging temperance among the Regulars the Government has encouraged drunkenness and paved the way for. score or more of evils. Even the officers wives are demanding that the canteen be re- established. How long will it be until Congress realizes its mistake?- New York Sunday Press

PORCELAIN POODLES.
 Finest Ones Were Made in 1920 at the Rockingham Works.

The day of the china and faience poodle may be said to have been the closing years of the eighteenth cen- tury and the twenties and thirties of the last. century, a period when the poodle was the favorite pet animal of the contemporary lady.
 In the old English china works the dog was a sort of potter's standby says the Queen, and hardly one firm but turned to the manufacture of this delightful ornament from Bow to Rockingham. In size they vary from the finest figures being the small ones often eXquisitely modelled. They oc- cur standing, lying down, seated up- right and in many other attitudes. There may be no end to your collec- tion, as you will find innumerable va rieties in size and position.
 Commonest of poodles are the Staf- fordshire examples, sitting bolt up- right, and very much rarer are the re- cumbent dogs reposing on royal blue cushions Porcelain poodles were produced at Bow, but unlike their cousins of Rockingham the Bow ca hines were lean and scraggy speci- almost impossible thinness. They were modelled prior to the year 1776.
 The finest porcelain poodles were produced at the celebrated Rocking ham works, and they were manufac- tued between the year 1920 Cor there aboUts) and the closing of the works in 1S42-in fact, during the "Bramold period" when the factory was carried on by Messrs. Thomas, George, Fred erick and John Wager Brameld. The Rockingham works were situated at SwintOn, near Rotherham, Yorkshire, on the estate of the Marquis of Rock ingham. The animals themselves are nearly always plain white in color, but sometimes their bases or stands are of a rich royal blue enriched with gilt line. Occasionally the bases are onamented with green and gilt foli- age, and still more rarely red decora- ton is to be found.
 The Staffordshire faience poodles are much more oughly modelled than their Rockingham relatives, for they wee intended to ornament the cot tager's humble mantlepiece, not the drawing room of the lady of fashion, and they were retailed at the trifiing sum of sixpence each, so that careful modelling and delicate glaze were not to be expected. These glazed earthen- ware dogs are squat in figure, with large ears. bushy tails, and a decor ative note is introduced by the addi- tion of a gilt collar with an elaborate paddock hanging from it.
 China and earthenWare poodles are now extensively initiated by the un- scrupulous German manufacturer, but his fakes are fairly easy to detect. These Teutonic forgeries are charac- terized by a dead white glaze, while the authentic early nineteenth centu- ry examples are coated with a cream white glaze, which is freQuently a good deal cracked.

OUTLETS OF AN IMAGINATION.
Mrs. Sophie Fishers Early and Later
 Essays in Literature.

Although English born. Sophie Fisher, author of The Imprudence of Prue," is not English. Her father, first cousin of Carl Maria von Weber. the musician, was an Austrian, and her mother was of French refugee descent. Mrs Fisher lives in Amerf- ca and admits that possibly this mix ture of races partly accounts for her vivid imagination, which early in life got her into trouble through the wild yarns it caused her to relate. At school her troubles increased i, for her exercise books were constant ly getting interleaved with romances, often weirdly illustrated, though she felt herself compensated for all her troubles by the high reputation she bore among a few congenial spirits for whom she improvised tales of mystery and adventure of which she was always the heroine.
 When 10 or 12 she thought serious ly of entering the world of letters and even wrote out some of her stories on both sides of paper torn from exer- else books and sent them to various story papers, without stamps for re- turn postage.
 At the age of 20 she made another and more successful assault upon the ma gazines and many of her short stories were accepted. After she was married and came to America she wrote a novel in collaboration with Rose Eytinge, the actress. under the title Tt Happened This Way" which after a brief career was buried in the wreck caused by the failure of it's publishers.
 Mrs. Fisher on one occasion wrote on a dare burlesque highfa1utin story in caricature of a certain much advertised authoress. To her astonish- ishment-and shame, she adds-the story was taken seriously, highly com- pEmented, bought, paid for and pub- lished.

They Give Good Satisfaction in San-
 tiago, Chile.

The have women conductors on the electric cars of Santiago, the capital or Chile. This was made necessary by the late war, which took so many men to the front, and imposed upon women the work usually done by men. The custom has been kept up, the women having proved equally as efficient as the men had been.
 One of the most popular customs seen here in the evening promendde in the plaaz or park, which is attend ed by young ladies and young men and quite small boys and girls. They do not mix, but keep quite separate paths.
 Yet even the little girls at ' or years are finished coQuettes. Their eyes languidly observe every man and boy in the plaza, and they take care that each shall receive due share of their smiles.
 Another curios custom which pre- vails in Santiago, and which IS Jo1ned by those fortunate enougn 10 nave fine horses and carria ges, IS the prom enade at the ParQue Causino, beau tiful park near the center or the city.
 company of mounted police stands in single file in the center of the drive and the carriages, With uni- formed coachmen and footmen and beautifully gowned women and fas- ionabIv dressed men occupying the carriages. ride around and around the mounted police.
 Sometimes there are two or as many as six rows Of carriages, some going in the oposite direction and al- ternating. the ladies smiling and the gentlemen tiping their hats in a polite Hammer. This promenading lasts from o'clock in the afternoon un- til o'clock in the evening.-Logics1 Doint.

It is hoped that the matter will be settled permanently in short time.
