The Sacred Cod.

The cod was the forerunner Of
American aristocracy. He boasts no
Norman blood and his name is en-
blazoned in no Domesday book, but
New England heraldry has celebrated
him for generations. Even discrimin-
ating Boston has deified him, and a
feature which in New York is boiled
nd served with egg sauce is at the
Hub enshrined upon the affairs of lib
erty and guarded by the holy vestals.
That is to say, these honors are paid
to the Yankee cod caught or pur-
chased in Canadian waters by fisher
men cruising under the American flag
A plain, ordinary Canadian cod intro
duced by native of the Dominion is
not only rejected by good society In
Massachusetts, but If he insists upon
landing he is taxed at the custom
house at the. rate of three-quarters oi
q cent pound. From all this 1t will
appear that the cod, like man, an
other aristocrat, derives his coronet
and his pretensions from privilege. II
Is privilege and not the cod chat has
been disturbed. Fresh, salted, shred
ded and In balls, the sacred fish still
reposes In Gloucester's bosom, its lin
cage unquestioned, its past at least
secure.-New York World.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT
ON CONFORMITY"
Speaker vlnlng and Senator Yount
Hold Different Views on School
Textbook Question.

Columbus, o.-Speaker vining Of
the Ohio house of representatives and
Senator Yount, both Democrats, are at
loggerheads over the declaration In the
Democratic state platform in favor OF
uniformity of text books"
Speaker Vining says the plank means
"state uniformity and in line with
that expression has had bill intro
duced by Representative Gebhart
which provides for state uniformity.
Senator Yount introduced a bill for
county uniformity early in the session.
Speaker Vining says the county uni
formity bill has the backing Of the big
school book companies. In a circular
Just issued, Senator Yount charges
that state uniformity would be wholly
in the interest of three or four big
school book publishers. Senator Yount
makes a direct attack on state uniform
ity, although a year ago he was the
author of a measure which provided
for this very thing. In his circular,
Senator Yount says state uniformity
would cost the people millions OF dol
lars because it would mean change
OF all school books; and he points out
that county uniformity would not per-
NIT one small commission to contract
for five million dollars worth of books.
Senator Yount charges school people
who oppose his bill as being Influenced
by small graft"
The educators of the state are
against both measures, and they are
active in their opposition.
1t is expected that Speaker Vining
and Representative Gebhart will make
an answer to the Yount circular and
show up the fallacies of the Yount con-
tentions.
Small book companies complain that
both the Yount and Vining- Gebhart
bills are in the interest of the big COM
panies. School men throughout the
state complain that the yount bill will
put the question of selecting school
books into politics.
Senator Yount claims that millions
of dollars may be saved by the enact
ment of his measure while the oppo'
nents point out the absence OF any
price limitations in the bill, and assert
that the operation of such law would
involve millions of added expense with
no price reduction.

WOMAN'S BODY IS RECOVERED

Erie, Pa-The body of Mrs. Anna

stolen from the w. l.. Scott mauso-

unoccupied crypt. Further investiga-
ton showed, according to most posi-

clared to have been the motive in

PRESIDENT FOR TEMPERANCE
Taft Writes Letter Read In 5000 SUM-

to Shun Evil.

Columbus, O.-President w. H. Taft
in letter dated December 29,
1910, and just read in 5000 Sunday
schools in the United States. sounded
the keynote of a total abstainer's
movement. The letter Is addressed to
Sunday school pupils as my Dear
Young Friends" and reads: "The
excessive use of intoxicating liquor is
the cause Of great deal Of poverty,
degradation and crime of the world
and one who abstains from the use
of such liquor avoids a dangerous
temptation. Abraham Lincoln showed
that he believed this in writing out
for his boy friends the pledge of total
abstinence, SO often quoted. Each
person must determine for himself
the course he will take in reference
to his tastes and appetities, but those
who exercise the self-restraint to
avoid altogether the temptation Of al.
coholic liquor are ON the safe and
wiser side"

NAME NO LONGER A SECRET
Meaning Of Initial That Has 6affled
Cleveland People Has Been
Revealed.

Another mystery at school headquar-
tiers has been dispelled.
The middle name of Assistant Su-
perintendent Frank P. Bachman has
been discovered. It's Puterbaugh.
Ever since Mr.. Bachman entered
Cleveland school circles some three
years ago to take charge of the Nor
NAL Training school, diligent efforts
have been made to learn what the
middle initial in his name stood for.
Girls at the Normal Training school
used to ponder between lessons on
what that mysterious letter hid from
the eyes of a prying world. In vain
they tried to fathom the darkness
that surrounded the second appela-
tion of their principal. Some finally
decided that it must stand for Per-
cival. This met with indignant de-
nial, however.
But now the secret Is out. 1t was q
citizen of Athens, O.-Bachman's for
mer home-who turned the trick.

Frank Sheppard, Office boy.

Springfield, 1ll.-Lincoln's birthday
was celebrated here February IL more
deliberately than ever before, and the
occasion was made more notable by
the presence Of President Taft as tho

been brought in Congressman McKin-
ley's private car on the interurban

by Representative Israel Dudgeon or

gram. AS soon as Mr.. Taft alighted
from the car the parade was formed
with Maj..Gen. Edward G. Young OF
Chicago as grand marshal and ADJ

the lawmakers he made his first ad-
dress of the day, speaking risay but
spiritedly Mr.. Taft and the other
visitors were then escorted to the old
Lincoln home at Eighth and Jackson
streets. The house is preserved by
the state just as it was during the
Civil war period, and is visited an
nually by thousands. From the home
the visitors were taken to Oak Ridge
cemetery, where the martyred presi-
dents remains rest beneath the new
monument. Mr.. Taft and the other
guests entered the memorial chapel
in the monument and reverently
viewed the priceless Lincoln relics
preserved there. The elimination Of

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, of
course, be successfully disputed, but
It can be minimized or entirely over

and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while / was coffee

tacks of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver. which l tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when / visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Il was not so strong believer In
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-

The family was killed by the acct
dental loosening of rubber gas tube
from a gas pipe running across the
main living room and the flooding OF
the house with the gas. Not one of
the family was able to get out Of bed
before being overcome by the fumes,
although the three youngest children
showed evidence of having tried, in a
feeble manner, to escape the overpow-
ering gas. A particularly sad feature
of the accident was that the eldest
girl, Minnie, was to have been mar
ried within few days. Her trous-
seau was finished and was found
hanging on the second floor, covered
with cloth to protect it from dust.
The father, who attended celebra-
ton, did not return home until early
in the morning and is thought to have
accidentally pulled the gas tube from
its connection.

PRESIDENT TALKS TO FARMERS

Columbus, O.-President Taft took
here what was conceded to be
the greatest stride towards the at
tainment of Canadian reciprocity. In
a brilliant address before the National
Corn exposition he declared the
farmer need cherish no delusion that
he will be slaughtered to make reci-
procity holiday, but advanced the con-
trary proposition that he would be one
of the greatest beneficiaries of it.
His address was bold. strong and dras-
tic. He reached his climax when he
said: Let the agreement be adopted
and go into operation and within six
months the farmers on the border
who now have fears will rejoice In
this step towards closer business and
social relations with our neighbors." +"
