Fairfield Ledger: Henry G. Wan

out of business held an auction of
booze and disposed of a lot of it's
goods at public sale. 1t was the first
instance of its kind he had heard of.
We wonder how Doc McNurlen would
enjoy selling booze from the block

wares and give the people the Gus
tomary spiel about them under such
circumstances! Will Smock describ,

is heated from a central plant oper.

All of Oskaloosa's business section

pipes radiating form the electric

ing fires or shoveling coal or carrying
out ashes and clinkers. He never has
to regulate the heat; it is all done
at the central plant. Keeps his
house at uniform temperature week
in and week out. And it is much
cheaper than buying stoves and coal.

There is one qualification which the

asked-or obtained-and this is that
he is fitted to perform the duties of
President, should fate call him to the

The Firecracker.
by GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old SIwaSA."

firecracker is a small red cylinder
with a bang at one end and burn at the
other
It is supplied with a fuse and can be
operated by a mere child. In fact. the
more childish the operator is the more
excitement and sweet oil bandages ne
can get out OF the cracker.
The cracker is impulsIve and impatient
and flies all to pieces on the slightest
provocation like a city editor on big
night. II IS very fond Of man. however.
and would rather lie in his hand and
explode than 10 burst all by itself IN
marble palace.
This is noble Of the cracker, but It does
not get as much praise for It's devotion
to man as the dog does.
Some crackers efter being touched on
will lie patiently In the grass for five
minutes waiting for some human being
to pick them up and fondle them. Then
they will 60 OF with such yigor as TO

gether and contain a pinch Of powder
apiece. When greatly irritated they will

other learned Jews from the time Of Co
lumbus to the present, has been in pos
session Of many facts pointing TO the Jew
ish character Of the great navigator, and
which the new discoveries presented In
the booklet, The Secret OF Columbus,
merely serve to emphasize and confirm.
Mr.. Ryan's next assertion Is equally IN
fortunate, that because Harrisse, the his
torian, was raised without any training
in Christian principles" therefore cir
cumstances discredit him as an unbiased
authority on the question" as to whether
an alleged will OF Columbus was or was
not authentic.
It might be asked who. according to the
principles OF evidence. could be called I'M
biased in regard to this question, mem
bers Of the sect DESTROYS of making capt.
tai out Of the reputation and prestige OF
Columbus. or those having no interest one
way or the other. HaTrisse was one OF
the most careful and painstaking Of crit
les. and largely devoted to this one sub
iect Of determining the truth about Co
lumbus. For this he spent his time and
money in hunting up data and searching
records in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and
elsewhere, to find out the exact facts,
and yet Mr.. Ryan would discredit him
because he had no training as a Chris
tan.
the question Was Columbus a Jew
brought into court. then each OF the jury
list found not to have Christian training
would be ineligible and disqualified and
the QUALIFICATIONS with Christian train
ing-would be unbiased.
Yet in his previous communication this
Jealous defender OF the faith says: The
Hebrew race has produced many grand
characters" Well. well, and not one OF
them 1T. to consider the nature Of the race
and faith Of Columbus, not having had
Christian training.
Now, Mr.. Ryan, will you not admit that
the man least qualified to pass on any
question Is the one taught to take GER
tain fixed view Of that question in early
childhood, before his reasoning powers
are formed?
The great Harvey once said he had
never found a physician over forty years
OF age who could believe in the circula-
ton OF the blood. Any error taught in
childhood Is likely to remain as a fixed
idea in manhood. To all having such
fixed Ideas every fact tending to show
that Columbus was not a Catholic but a
lew, seems distorted and unreasonable.
Nearly every historian, all but few
Jatholic writer's, have acknowledged that
the mother Of Columbus Susanna Fonte-
rosa, was a Jewess, and there is the
strongest probability that his father was
