Thorley was convalescing after a

gestion of a change of air as afforded
by some fashionable resort, whether
north. south, east or west.
You want to get near to nature.
OF course | know that's hackneyed
expression. my boy, but you do want
to get as far back in the country as
your pocketbook will take you and
stay at some isolated farmhouse
where you will not want to see any
thing save the cloud effects when the
sun sets over the mountain peak or
hear anything except the songs of birds
and the blare Of the dinner horn.
Drink milk and eat eggs morning. noon

Anywhere. Buy ticket for the last
station on the line aud get off there
and ask for board at the last house-On

turned to so.
\ week later Mr.. Fred Thorley was
uncomfOrta bly, established in a red
plush covered seat in Il dusty passen-

where ThOriey had boarded it straight
into the country through rock ribbed
crevices dripping with moisture and
hung with ferns. past level daisy fields
white as the driven snow. shooting into
the dim arches of tall woods only to
emerge near some highway crossing
where the engine shrieked warningly.
There were tedious stops at tiny sta
tons that looked like bird houses. and
these grew smaller and smaller until
when they reached the terminal the
station was not much larger than n
sentry box.

"On With the Dance"

After a few gladiators had been
slain in the Roman arena they used
10 stick hooks in their jaws and haul
them off Then they would sprinkle
a little sand over the bloody spots
and bring in a fresh batch to be
slaughtered.
The manager of the automobile
races at Syracuse, y. Y, appears to
have been made of the same heroic
stuff as his Roman predecessor.
Within a few minutes after nine per-
sons had been killed he had the
track cleared and was ready for an
other.
Talking about being 'butchered to
make A Roman holiday" how about
an American holiday where lives are
regarded as lightly as they ever
were when the Roman emperor's
thumb decided whether a mans lot
should be life or death and the en-
peror didn't care which.
II doesn't do to lose sight of the
fact that we are civilized in these
days. but II might be pertinent to
ask where we keep our civilization.

Weather Bureau of Future.

With all due respect to the United
States weather bureau, which has
been of incalculable benefit TO the peo-
pie of the country in the past. the time
has come when researchers of the
government acting for the people
should go deeper into the question of
the origin OF weather changes.
The conditions that have existed
within the past six months have dehed
all the established rules and prece-
dents II is held by many eminent
scientists that these abnormal Coudi-
tons are due 10 planetary influences.
II this is true We need astronomers
AT the helm. Much OF the criticism of
the weather bureau is very unjust and
it is unjust because il goes upon the
theory that men must be expected to
do the impossible.
Whether or not man is ever TO learn
the real secret OF the weather and be
able in any way TO control IT, is mat
ter for future development. So much
valuable data has been gathered by
the weather bureau in the past years
Il should be able TO make original
Investigations unhampered by scien-
tifc thralldom or empirical propogan-
da that VIII lead TO a more intelligent
understanding of the questions involv-
ed in climatic changes. II i 10 be
hoped that the government will see
the matter in the light of its full i'm

qualified who will not allow themselves

The Death of Madison.

The death of Congressman Edmond
H. Madison. just at the beginning OF
a career that gave promise of unusual
usefulness. is one of the DEGREES OF
fate, the wisdom of which il is not
given mortals TO fathom. Upright,
+ fearless and capable. he gave promise
of becoming figure occupying even
2 larger share of national honor than
at the time of his sudden death.
f, The simple and poor Plainville, H.,
boy left his home a score of years ago.
Monday he died, and the president of
/ the United States paused in the midst
OF busy day of touring, sightseeing
and speech-making TO pay a tribute TO
the character and ability of the deceas-
ed eX-Adams county man. With moth
ing but a clear brain and hard grit. Ed
mond II. Madison rose from the Adams
county school teacher to the man hon
ored by the president of the greatest
republic on earth.
Edmond H. Madison was an insurg-
ent republican Today the name does
not signify as much as it did several
years ago because the insurgents are
numerous. Madison. however. was an
insurgent when to arraign standpat re-
publicanism was the mark of reproach
and was party treason. But Madison
placed country above party, and.
though unpopular his cause, he
fought with yalOr for his convictions.
To be an insurgent now is popular
To be an insurgent when Madison was
first an insurgent was not only uupop-
ular, but was seemingly political sui
eide. Madison was no trimmer. In
the BallingeT investigation he brought
in minority report which showed the
righteousness OF the whitewash of the
staudpatters on the committee. His
political bravery was a feature of his
career.
Edmond II. Madison was an example
of what an American youth. made of
the right sort of stuff. can do for him
self He was national figure, yet he
never lost his simple habits and I'M
assuming ways. AS he used to say. Il try
to think what the folks who sit around
the stove in the general store hack in
Kansas would say about it." BY this he
did not mean that he would 20 against
what he believed to be right TO please
anybody on earth. He would not. He
did mean that he never allowed him
self TO be dazzled by the glamor of
Washington.
Now that he is gone. the example of
his life remains. A Providence whose
DEGREES we cannot question has ordain-
ed his early death. His multitude of
friends will place flowers of eulogy
upon his grave

3 SHOT DEAD FOR GIRL

company Obie Butler, aged so, home
from a dance at Rafter, Tenn, last
night, three men are dead. When
she refused 10 go with Butler, Miss
Ellis requested Olney Phillips, AGED
Il, to accompany her. When But
Ter saw them leave the dance,
he followed and shot Phillips dead.
John Heading, aged Is, then
rushed NV to Butler and asked
why he had shot Phillips. In re-
ply Butler shot Heading five times,
killing him instantly. The third
death came when an unknown per-
son shot Butler from behind, the
ball piercing his brain.

couple
Thorley did not stop to verify this
statement He turned out OF the ham
mock and strobe across the lawn and
down through the orchard. where he
leaned against the fence which border
ed a deep, rumbling brown brook.
His rebellious heart was humping
angrily. strongly. He longed for the
touch of Margie's cool. slim fingers
and the glance Of her soft. dark eyes.
But very likely her fingers and her
soft glances were for Mart Bently. the
good looking young stock raiser. whose
place adjoined that of the Beeks.
Thorley did not hear a light step on
the orchard grass. and it was not until
Margie's slim white clad figure APP
peared beside him that he knew he
was not alone.
He looked at her without speaking
for a moment; then suddenly he turn
ed and crushed her hands in his strong
grasp. Marjorie" he said hoarSeiy.
