DIETARY FADS
OF LORD BYRON
Last Book Read by Captain Scott
and His Companions May Have
Been Mary J0hnston's ITO
Have and to Hold"
By HAYDEN CHURCH

London. August 16.-(Special )-Sixteen
famous British clergymen, representing
almost as many sects, have collaborated
to produce CHEEKY little book that is ex-
actly the one to take away as holiday
reading-I don't Think obtainable for
shilling, or a quarter, in American money,
it is bound In paper, but asbestos would
have been more, appropriate, for this little
volume is all about hell. When you have
waded through its 150 odd pages you know
all there is to know, so far, about the fu-
ture abode OF the naughty, and altogether
it doesn't appear to be quite SO black--or
rather so red-as we formerly were led to
believe.

truly remarkable quarters worth, and the
chapter headings show how comprehen-

disturbing, and Hell Philosophic Neces-

is devoted to "A Defense of the He'll of

Scott's Last Novel

At Earls Court, where the pathetic
relicts of the Scott polar expedition are
now on exhibition 1 made a little dis
covery this week, which you may find in
teresting In case you haven't heard about
it already. Some time ago it was stated
that when the search party reached the
tent in which Scott and his companions
died they found on the floor a paper bound
novel which. when picked up was open,
curiously enough at a chapter he added,
I'VE Go Out Into the Night"
This fact has been widely paragraphed
over here. but in all my reading never
have seen it stated what this novel was.
However, my visit to Earls Court settled
the mystery. There they show one big.
plain cooking pot. whose interior was
seraped clean and bare by men at the
point of starvation, an empty provision
bag. sledging shovel, the inner lining
of the tent in which the remains of Scott
and his comrades were found-and this
shabby, much-t -thumbed book-which
proves to be nothing more nor less than
a ''sixpenny edition. of Mary Johnston's
story of Virginia" " which is known over
here as "The Old Dominion, but which
in Aneriea. I believe. was called ITO
Have and TO Hold" Miss Johnston will
be rather proud. I should think, to know
that one of her books formed perhaps
the last reading on earth of Scott and his
plucky companions.

New Fact About Byron

Every now and then something new
comes to light about that extraordinary
man, Byron. His latest biographer de-
scribes his queer habits in regard to food
with which he seems to have made almost
as many experiments as the renowned
Horace Fletcher. Don Juan, says this
biographer, was written largely on gin
and water and on other occasions he
lived for weeks on six biscuits a day,
often fasting entirely for 4s hours. One
slice of bread for breakfast and a vege-
table dinner kept him going in 1916,
though at times he had to chew tobacco
to keep down his hunger. Vinegar and
water and little rice was another of his
experimental diets. But he had his mo-
ments of indulgence and Moore tells of a
sapper at which he ate three Holsters and
washed them down with half dozen
glasses of strong brandy.

An Oscar Wilde Story

Lord Alfred Douglas, whom | saw re-
Gently in connection with the book he is
writing about Oscar Wilde, told me a
story of the latter which l think is new.
A friend pressed an invitation on Wilde.
He declined THE fact is,'' he said, II
am going to a publishers funeral. He is
to be buried simultaneously in London
and New York-to save copyright" 1t

does for the body will be supplied by re-
MORSE" which. IL not particularly good
English, is clear enough to be an awful
warning.
If, however, all these clergymen, who
include the Rev. DIR. M. Hyamson and
Father Hugh Benson, are agreed in treat
ing the hell fire" of the Bible as meta
phor there is no such concensus of opin-
ion on an even more important point,
ramely, how long future punishment is
going to last Most of them, 1t is good to
note, dsbelieve in eternal punishment"
The Rev. A. J. Waldron, a Church OF
England divine. for example. says bluntly,
'If the Bible teaches everlasting punish
ment' SO much the worse for the Bible,
because we cannot believe It; you quote
texts and have behind the texts the very
finest scholarship, but 1t Is no good.'
The Rev. Dr. NJ. Hyamson, too, declares
that endless torments are in fragrant
contradiction to the goodness of God as
expressed in His Holy Word"
Differ on Other Points
On the other hand, the Rev. A. G.
Dixon, a Baptist, asserts, Everlasting
punishment will certainly follow everlast
ing shining, the degree of punishment
being in proportion to the sin 1t is, rea-
soEable to conclude that IL man will not
repent in this world. with an environment
of good and evil he will not repent in the
next world where there is an environ
ment of only evil"
Only two Of the divines seem to think
that hell is a place. whether hell is
locality or not" says the Rev. Dimsdale
T. Young, I'VE cannot be sure. The res
direction of the body, it seems to me,
would suggest that hell is a locality"
DR.. Horton, too, seems to incline toward
the idea of hell as a place, though his
language is carefully vague. THE life of
the future world he writes, lis only the
life of this world without the body and
the material scenery of which the body Is
part. Extering into that incorporeal
world we shall be what we are-recon-
ciled with God or at enmity with Him.
And the scenery and surroundings of that
world will be there, as here, determined
by our physical state"
Most of the reverend collaborators,
however, agree with the Rev. C. Silves-
ter Horne, who quotes Milton's Satan
when he exclaims. wherever go is hell,
myself am hell" and declares, There in
one lurid epgram, the truth is ex-
pressed"

Just what the next few weeks will

the clubs are stronger than at the

of the league. but with the baseball
dope SO likely to be upset when the

er for first place Ottumwa and Bur
lington are already hard at work, the
former at Davenport and the Cowboys
at Carthage, Mo-, under the watchful
eyes of Hayden. The other clubs are
now reporting their men and will
start training next Monday.
1t is thought that all the Keokuk
men will be in the city by Saturday
night and give the bugs an opportun-
ity to look over the array of talent
which Manush has lined up for their
amusement this summer. No word
has been received from the old men
yet and it is reported that the direc-
tors have given up hope of getting
Whitaker back into the fold, al
though transportation has been sent

Rumors to the effect that Pat Hilly
has already signed a contract were
denied by him yesterday, but every
one believes that he will be in thu
lineup when the barrier goes up.

city today and a telegram from
