ROSE ABOVE HANDICAP
PosTHUMoUS CHILDREN WHOSE
NAMES ARE FAMOUS.
Birth OF Child of John Jacob Astor
Has Aroused Interest In the List,
Which Contains Many Per-
sons of Note.

The birth of a posthumous child OF
John Jacob Astor arouses especial in
terest and sympathy because of the
tragic death of the father in the TT:
tanic disaster. Yet all posthumous
children excite such sentiments. Some
OF these children have moreover at
tracted additional attention from the
world in after life through their own
achievements.
Alexander the Great has been said
by some historians to have been born
after the death of his father, but &C.
cording to other authorities Philip of
Macedon lived to enjoy the compan-
lonship OF his son for several years. 1t
may be that Alexander's stepbrother
was a posthumous child, but that has
not been proved
Ben Jonson, the Elizabethan dram
atist, was born in 1878, month after
his fathers death. He was fortunate
In acquiring stepfather who was a
good friend to him and gave him an
excellent education.
Thomas Herbert was of posthumous
birth, says his elder brother, Lord
Herbert of Cherbury He is remem-
bered chiefly as the brother Of Lord
Herbert Of Cherbury and of George
Herbert. the poet.
Early in the seventeenth century
another child came into the world un-
der similar conditions. This was Abra-
ham Cowley. the English poet. His
father, who had been a grocer in hum
Bile circumstances, died shortly before
the birth of the son. Thanks to the
unfiagging struggle and devotion of
his mother the boy received a good
education and his poetic genius had
opportunity for development.
Dean Swift was born few months
after his fathers death. Kindly dis
posed relatives helped his mother with
his upbringing and education.
Adam Smith, author of "The Wealth
of Nations" put in his appearance in
this world some four months after the
death Of his father.
OIiii duOtuST EuSllSu poet was q
posthumous child. This was Thomas
Chatterton, who was born in Bristol
about the middle Of the eighteenth
century.
Andrew Jackson, seventh president
of the United States, was born in a
little log cabin on the border line be-
tween North and South Carolina. In
that same cabin his father, who had
come to America from the north coast
of Ireland, died few days before the
birth of his son.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes, the
nineteenth president, was another
posthumous child. He was born in
October and his father died in the
July preceding.
The present king of Spain. Alfonso
Kill, was born after his fathers
death.
Mary Queen of Scots just escaped
posthumous birth, her father dying
when she was few days old. Richard
Wagner, the composer, was also left
fatherless very soon after his birth.

woman's Work in the World.

DR.. George Draper of the Rockefel.
Ter Institute, discussing woman's work
in the world. said: And this, mind
you, leaves collaborating out of count.
Two women sat one day by a wind

had three beautiful children, the other

BIG JACK JOHNSON
HANGED IN EFFIGY

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-Hanged in eff
ifigy before a crowd of 1000 persons
within four blocks of one of the most
exclusive residence districts of Chi
cago, was the least of Jack Johnsons S
troubles today. United States author
tiles were proceeding with their in
vestigation of the black champion
with view of indicting for violation
of the Mann act in connection with
his relations with Miss Lucille Cam
eron. The hanging" took place ear
ly today at Clark and Montrose boule-
ward. There were many women in the
crowd. A riot call was sent to the
town-hall police station. The police
cut down the figure and dispersed the
crowd. Mayor Harrison was expected
to act today in regard to the revoking
of Johnson's saloon license. Five
charges were to be prepared against
Johnson in the municipal court for vio-
lations of the closing hour law. II
found guilty on any one, the mayor is
expected to revoke his license.

THE BEASTLY BARB
This Satanic Point on the Wire Robs Country Walking of
Half Its Zest and Serves No Purpose for Either
Man Animal.-Why Not Take 1t Up?

which is spanned by what is known
as Tests bridge, are series of fen
ces twined with barbed wire which bar
the pedestrians progress.
Cows used to be kept down here
by some one. But they are kept there
no longer.
Why on earth these detestable him
ORANGES to cross country freedom
should, therefore, obstruct the way, is
a mystery.
Beyond the bridge, to the south, de-
ployed the walkers.
Leaping boggy streamlet which
meandered subtlely through a maze of
fallen leaves, one of the pedestrians
landed uncertainty on a teetering
shore only to find her skirts inextrica-
bly, entangled and her felt marooned
in a quagmire.
Long and nerve wracking prowlings
to locate the source of the enforced
stand-patting discovered the end of a
barbed wire.
! When detached from it's loving clasp
of the pedestrians petticoats, it was
found to be the end of wire original
ly part of a fence some distance away.
But which some one had clipped. 1t
had sprung back dangling on a level
with the vines depending from the
, trees and on parallel with the weeds
and other underbrush 1t was impos-
sible to distinguish it from it's envir-
ons.
While this path is not trodden by
the city throngs it is nevertheless
, used by a good many people and this
particular irresponsible bit of barbed
wire might cause a serious accident
! AS it happened it caught the pedes.

! But it might as easily have hit an

anatomy.
On and on deployed the pedestrians
Everywhere barbed wire.
For no reason.

Bile fences, between unused meadows
and stretches of woodland-were top
ped with barbed wire?
| Why?
! Nobody knows.
Not for protection of animals or hu
man beings. Serve no purpose so fal
! as property rights are concerned
The truth is that this barbed wire
matter should be taken up by some
one looking round for way to pas:
the time and dragged before our loca
and state solons.
It's use should be made an offense
save under certain conditions
| Why don't the women's club take i
up and bring it before the next legis

This column has once before amin
adverted upon the atrocities of barbed
wire.
But has no hesitation in repeating it..
Yesterday in company with another
person the writer took a walk into the
country.
While this statement is neither i'm
portant nor revolutionary it is neces-
sary as an introduction to the the
matte material that follows, SO to
speak.
A cross country ramble was "enjoy-
ed" as the rural society columns say.
Walking is the most delightful exer-
else in the world.
1t is the natural means Of locomo-
tion.
But it bids fair to become lost art
in these days of rapid transit by auto
mobile, motorcycle, bicycle and even
street-cars.
To be sure the local street-car sys-
tenn could hardly be ranked under the
head of rapid transit.
Nonetheless it affords people an op-
portunity to ride instead of walk
And an astonishing number of per-
sons take advantage of it.
People are lazy.
Or at least follow the path of least
resistance.
It's easier to ride than walk.
Or at least so people think. 1t really
isn't. Because not natural. Legs are
made to walk with. But their use
seems in fair way to be atrophied.
If the riding habit continues a being
will finally be evolved without legs.
In accordance with the law which
every high school student learns. That
nature discards the disused. That
which she cannot make to serve her
purpose.
So after time we may all look like
Sir Richard Calmady of the novel
| which had such vogue a few years
ago and which had for its hero a man
without legs.
In the meantime, however, We have
, chance at beating nature.
! By route of her proper functions.
| Walking is the best complexion
| beautifier known.
1t is the finest cure for indigestion
| The most efficacious muscle devel
oper.
| In addition it serves as a medium
through which you may come into init
mate contact with 'inanimate nature
In way you cannot possibly
through riding.
! You can, also, become ineradicably
impressed with the assininity of the
barbed wire.
In instance On the east side of the
river, reached through a path which
declines from the end of Liberty Ave
nue..
Here is one of the most beautiful
walks about town. The path follows
the line of the stream south ON on<
of those elevated terraces for which
the river gorge is distinguished.
The views from this path are ex
quisite.
And, so far as anyone knows, the
land belongs to no one.
Why then should there be through
out the length of this old roadway
for it is an abandoned road-a contin
uous stretch of barbed wire?
Along the top of the picturesque OLE
rail fence, grown over with vines ant
bushes, is strung a fiendish barbet
wire. For what reason no man know
eth.
But between the walker and the
road to which this pathway leads, ant
