LIES UPS AND DOWNS
Were Too Much For Louis Korn, Who
Killed Himself.

New York, Jan. 25.-eI'm all in; no
money; gamblers life is honey one
day and the next day nothing"
So wrote Louis Korn, an old time
bookmaker, destitute, sick and deserted
by friends of other and prosperous days,
shortly before he shot and killed him
self in his cold room in a poor section
of the city yesterday. A eoroner's ply
sician found that Korn was emaciated
from a combination of disease and star
vation. Korn's days of opulence ended
with the passage of the laws which
killed horse racing.

Beauty" Preferred Jail With Master

Why he ever named her Beau
ty" is a matter for conjecture.
Perhaps when she was just a fluff
fly, rolly-polly puppy she might
have been beautiful, but now she
is a wreck of beauty. The curly
hair Is tattered and soiled. Her
eyes are bleared and red from old
age. like the eyes of drunkard
from drink, and she wobbles as
she walks. And to complete the
Illusion Beauty" has the appear
anoe of a dwarf-uncouth, ugly
and ill-fitting, even in the county
jail.
Just a dog, not much to look
at; perhaps not worth the yearly
tax, the casual observer might
say. Perhaps he would not take
the trouble to carry her home oil
feed her.
But she is worth her weight in

can appreciate.
Beauty" has been a prisoner
for over a year now. Her master
was sentenced to two years in
jail--the cause really does not
matter---but Beauty" went with
him. At first the jailer tried to
drive her out, but was driven opt
instead. He tried to push Kuhl
around one afternoon In a friend
ly way, and nearly lost the seat of
his trousers. Other prisoners
tried to play practical Jokes on
Kuhl but stopped when they met
the barred teeth of this diminu-
tive but faithful dog.
After a while Kuhl became a
trusty prisoner. Now he works
on the books and aids in the
sheriff's office. He is an expert
accountant. Beauty" is still on
the job. BY day she sits beneath

People Are Watching EN-

The program of the Washington State Bar asso-
citation which begins it's first session here today, in
dicates that the old guard Of standpat honorable
corporation subsidized attorneys have framed things
up to control this meeting and squelch by 'prepon
derence Of testimony from the speakers any at
tempt to inject the progressive spirit into the meet
Ing
However, the people are watching the lawyers
with unusual interest.
Generally the bar is expected to meet, pass some
perfunctonary resolutions that to the layman mean
little but to the barristers MUCH and go home
and proceed to the same old game of seeing that
damage is done corporate interests and special priv
ileges.
But this year issues made and lines OF cleav-
age are being drawn and the people expect every
body of men and women that meets to take stand
on one side or the other.
So they are watching the lawyers
Will they follow the dead past into the graveyard
of conservatism and line up for the things that are
the way they are, will they cut loose and face the
future and come out into the realm of the pro-
gressve spirit that is taking possession of the peo
pie.
The answer means much---to the lawyers as well
as the people.

That boosts the cost of our things SO high
Another explained, cts too much front

supply of gold' another cause
Given, of course, by lone who knows"
But ever and ever, without a pause
The cost of living just rose and rose
Commissions sat on the mooted point,
And they discovered lot of things
But not why matters out of joint
And prices soaring spreading wings.
They junketed gaily roundabout
Holding sessions at frequent times;
And the truth of the matter is still in doubt
But the cost of living still climbs and climbs
They said 1t was due to the crop of wheat
They said II due to the lack of COAL
To the kind of food that the women eat
And the way the laborer spent his roll:
To the eastern floods and the western drouth
The northern calm and the southern blows:
But the workman lived from hand to mouth
And the cost of living just rose and rose

On prayer meeting night, when
the minister asks those present to
call for their favorite hymns, how
often the choice falls on "Beulah
Land"
1t has been sung for % years.
The accompaniment has been
played on wheezy foot-pumped or
gans. discordant pianos, squeaky
violins and hesitating comets, but
the tune and the words have ever
deeply impressed those who sang.
And few have ever known the
name and who wrote it.
Edgar Page Sites used only his
first two names when he pub
lished the verses. He has lived in
modest retirement practically
unknown, although he might visit
any church in the world where
the hymn has been sung, and be
welcomed as the author.
Sites is now rs years old. He
stands over six feet tall and is as
straight as pinetree. His kindly
smile is almost hidden by a rough
beard and mustache, but his eyes
glow with tenderness. At his ad-
vanced age he still reads and
writes without glasses.
He lives in a little cottage at
Cape May, N. j., where he makes
his living selling insurance. He
writes songs, but never takes any
money for them. A dozen are
among the most popular hymns.
ut was In 1875 that 1 wrote
the Beulah Land song" says Sites.

"How did I come to write it? Only
sincere Christians will understand.
When l had finished two stanzas
and the chorus / was overcome

That was on Sunday. The next
week l wrote the last two stanzas,
and again l was so influenced by
the words of the song. given to
ME by divine inspiration, that I
fell to the ground again, and could
only weep and pray.
81 thought the chorus was too
long. tried to change it, but I
couldn't. My friends said it was
perfect as it was. The first time 1t
was sung was at the regular Mon
day meeting of Methodist minis
ters at 1913 Arch St, Philadel-
phia. 1t electrified the entire
assemblage."
And now. let's sing the chorus
all together
"Oh Beulah land, sweet Beulah

And view the shining glory

The Horrible Heather

Shucks! that new king of Siam isn't no king The

Accordingly, henceforth you will levy taxes on all

in the public service which are
untitled. This condition is due
to President Taft's habit of pro-
crastination. He has been much
away from Washington and has
never caught up with the WORK
which was neglected while he was
stumping for the nomination. The
trouble, however, does not seem
to be so much the loss of time as
the Presidents inability to make
any decision. Any case requiring
examination or investigation is
most easily disposed of by putting
it off until day after tomorrow.
And that is what the president is
doing.
