These gentlemen will excuse me for

NOW-RIGHT NOW. What say you?
It will only take very small amount
from each one.
Didn't somebody write something
about the tide that came into the
affairs of men which if taken at the
flood would lead on to fortune. The
tide is at the food in The Idler's Park
and now let's take it on to success.
Hurrah for Mr.. Burton! We will let
him name a member of the Park Com
mission, certainly. I believe I will
give away "pianny" if this park is
tuilt right quick, or a fountain pen or
some valuable present-details to be
arranged later. Just hink how nice

T am glad somebody sent President
Finley a copy of my remarks about
that light in Friend street. I asked
somebody to call his attention to 1t
when he was here. He is a sensible
man and I don't see how any sensible
man could object to a light at the un-
ion station closer than thirty yards OF
the track. I hope President Finley
will let me know the result of his in
vestigation. I think it will soon be
up to city council to put up that light

Now this is certainly glorious news
and I feel like shouting for JOY. If
this park can only come with the be-
ginning of this new year it will mean,
oh, so much for Newberry. I do hope
the editor will call that meeting at

Burton was all right and now he does
even more than I expected. Mr.. Edi-

COST 100000 TO
ELECT LORIMER
Said Publisher KOhISatt to
Committee

Springfield Ills, March 29,-M II.
KohIsatt, publisher of the Chicago
Herald, told the senate inves-
tigating committee today that he per-
sonally knew that 100000 had beeu
used to procure the election of Will
liam Lorimer to the United States
senate. He then declined to give he
source of his information, notWitn-
standing the committee has the power
to imprison him because of his re-
fusal.
Would you denounce any citizen
who takes the stand you have taken
here?" asked Senator Burton.
ANY man who will violate a conf
dence is not worth a snap. I would
not let my court reporter violate a
confidence. No newspaper man can
violate a confidence That is my code
of morals" replied the publisher.
The committee then went into eXecu-
tive session.
Before he was excused Mr.. Kohl
satt was informed by the committee
that its members had agreed that he
must answer the questions regarding
the money.

buildings with the state libraries with

INDIANS AND THEIR DEAD
How the hopis and NavaJos Bury the
Deceased and Provide for
Their Souls,

The Hopi Indian believes that the
souls Of all deceased adults go to the
Grand Canon. When a man dies a
grave is dug. The nearest relative of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave. places 1t in a sitting posture
facing the Grand Canon, erects a long
pole between the legs. locks the dead
mans fingers around it and fills the
grave. To the top of the pole, pro-
truding above the ground, he ties one
end of string and leads the other
end in the direction of the Grand
Canon. At the end of four days it IL
believed the soul leaves the body.
climbs the pole, and with the string
to guide it goes to it's eternal home
in the canon
The Navajos, on the contrary, are
very superstitious about handling
dead bodies. They believe that the
evil spirit that kills the person hovers
around the hogan, as they call their
lodge. awaiting other victims, and a
hogan in which a death occurs is
never occupied again. Navajo hogans

AS rule outdoor roses should be

They will then become established
and able to endure the frost at the
north, or the hot summer at the
south. Everblooming roses should be
pruned every month, cutting away the

blooming is thus promoted, for the
buds and flowers are mostly produced
upon the new and vigorous growth
that follows pruning. Summer

June roses and Wichurian hybrids

parts being removed, and the young,
