No Secret-William Hughes, VINO
will be the next United States senator
from New Jersey, had hard campaign
last fall but Woodrow Wilson asked
him to accompany the train of the
presidential candidate through New
Jersey and make a few speeches in the
last week of the campaign, and Hughes
consented to do so, though his cam
paign managers urged him to stay out
on the individual business Of Hughes
and let Wilson take care of himself.
Hughes is a good talker and he made
a hit with the Wilson party. However,
the correspondents on the train devoted
all their dispatches to Wilson and
never mentioned Hughes. This got on
the nerves Of the Hughes managers
and they wired protests to Hughes.
One morning, after a meeting at
which Hughes had made big speech
and had been enthusiastically received,
Hughes got the papers; but there was
not line about him. 1t was all Will
son.
He gathered the correspondents
about him and said:
Look here boys, let me disabuse
your minds of one thing that seems to
be firmly rooted therein. The fact that
William Hughes, of Paterson, New
Jersey, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator,
is on this train, and is making seven OF
eight speeches day is not confiden-
tial matter. / herewith release you
from any obligations you make have to
keep 1t quiet. There is nothing private
about it. I assure you, gentlemen you
will violate no confidence If you print
a few words each day to the broad gen.
eral effect that Hughes is here, and
that he Is talking now and then."-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Humorous 1rpartment.

Beginning at Home.-The late Gov
ernor Larrabee, the Grand Old Man Of
Iowa, was extremely fond of children.
says the Saturday Evening Post.
One day, while looking over his mill
at Turkey river, he found an urchin.
dirty and ragged, sound asleep near the
waterwheel. The boy was Mickey
Burke, son of a poor family in the
neighborhood.
The governor asked the boy why he
was so dirty and ragged. The boy ex-
planned his mother had large family
and had to work hard and could get
him no better clothes.
But you can keep clean," eXhorted
Larrabee. You could wash your face
and hands If you wanted to. That costs
nothing"
Mickey said he would try.
Well" said the governor, now is
the time to begin"
He procured a washbasip, some soap
and a towel, and watched Mickey scrub
himself until he shone. Then the gov
ernor got Mickey some clothes and
dressed him neatly. Mickey looked fine.
Now" said Larrabee, well. see
about getting YOU job"
He took Mickey to the store of an old
German of whom the governor was
very fond. Mr.. Schneider had no place
for Mickey. 5fFg
But you must have!" expostulated
Larrabee. Just look at him and see
what nice boy he is. He is clean and
neat; he is a good talker and would
make a good clerk. There Is no finer
boy, Mr.. Schneider, than Mickey here"
Schneider was obdurate. He had no
place.
The governor and Mickey walked out
of the store, much disappointed. As
they reached the sidewalk Mickey
turned to his benefactor and asked:
Mr.. Larabee, If I am such darned
fine boy as you say, why don't you give
me a job yourself?"

SEES NEW FAITH COMING
Good Will and Kind Deeds the Gospel
of Today

of Today.
Helen Keller sees new faith here
or very close. Writing in the Metro
politan Magazine she says:
1.-The greatest change Is coming that
has ever come in the history of the
world. The idea that higher power
DEGREES definite stations for different
human beings-that some are born to
be kings and others to be slaves-is
passing away. We know that there
is plenty of room in the world and
plenty of raw material in 1t for us all
to be born right, to be brought up
right, to work right and to die right.
We know that by the application OF
ordinary intelligence and common
good will we can secure to every one
of our children the means Of culture,
progress and knowledge, of reasona-
BILE comfort, health and happiness, or,
If not happiness. at least freedom
from the unnecessary misery which
we all suffer today. This Is the new
faith that is taking the place Of the
faith in blind, selfish, capricious pow
ers. Religion, the life Of which is to
do good, Is supplanting the old servile
superstitions. The time we are in has
been eloquently described by Henry
Demarest Lloyd:
"'It is anethical renaissance, and
insists that the divine ideals preached
for thousands of years by the priests
Of humanity be put into form, now,
here and practically, in farm and
mine, stock market factory and bank.
1t denies point blank that business is
business. 1t declares business to be
business and politics and religion. Bus
mess is the stewardship Of the COM
missary Of mankind. the administra-
tion of the resources upon which de-
pend the possibilities Of the human
life, which is the divine life"

BOY FIGHTS IN NICARAGUA
Young American Marine Describes
Bloody Little Battle.

6loooy IlCtic odtio'
Gordon Hawley, a 19-year-old Spo-
kane boy, says the Spokesman-Review,
is visiting his parents for the first
time since he enlisted in the United
States Marine corps. Although he has
been in military service less than
year his experiences equal those OF
veteran of a war. He has fought In
half a dozen punitive battles, has help
ed quell street riots and has seen his
company mates killed by the bullets of
Central American revolutionists.
Young Hawley was ordered TO Mic
aragua shortly after his enlistment. He
was with the first American landing
party and was one of the small party
Of marines that stormed the fortified
churches of Leon, last August.
Nine of our men were killed and
seven were injured at Leon" he said.
Their party was charging a machine
gun with the bayonet. The Nicaragu-
ans hid in houses and behind fences,
but at that we left sixty dead and
twice as many wounded after our
charge.
1T started easy enough. A few shots
dropped our way. The captain order
ed us to fill our magazines and prepare
to fix bayonets. We crouched down to
escape the increasing rifle fire direct
ed our way. The Nicaraguans shoot
lead slugs that tear a hole in man
like 3-inch shell.
"A man next to me rose and crumpl-
ed backward without a sound. thought
he had tripped himself or had slipped.
His foot jerked spasmodically and /
looked back His lower jaw was gone.
I'm a minute I heard the sergeant
whisper ready and saw men shifting
their ammunition belts. A low rattle
of jingling bayonets and clicking rifle
chambers went down our little line.
The men spread out fanwise into
skirmish line AS yet we had not fired
a shot in return. The commander was
parleying with the rebels who held the
town. He had given them a certain
time to leave.
THE time was up. An officer shout
ed something couldn't hear and the
line of khaki clad men jumped up and
began a slow run toward the buildings
held by the rebels. The rifle fire in
creased and a man fell out Of line
with red blotch near his shoulder
Another order was shouted and we
rushed into the strets Of the town in
riot formation. We slowed up and be-
gan to fire.
"a head would pop out of a build
ing; marine dropped to his knee and
fired. Perhaps half a dozen would
fire. Usually we got him. In few
minutes it was all over and We halted,
dusty, painting and some of us bloody,
in the plaza. The rebels had disap-
peared.
Then the federals came in and
wanted to loot the town. We stood
guard and had a few small brushes

His Gift.--A young man was deeply
in love with a beautiful girl. One day
she told him that the next day would
be her birthday, and he laughingly said
that he would send her a bunch of
roses, one for each year Of her life.
That evening he wrote to his florist,
ordering twenty -four roses to be sent
the young woman on the first delivery

The proprietor of the flower shop
looking over the mail in the morning
saw the order and said to the foreman:
John, here's an order from young

a mighty good customer, so put in a
dozen extra ones"

made the girl so angry with him.-La-

NO LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
No Fitting Monument Yet Erected to
Emancipator In Washington.

6manCIpdtOT
Singular to say, though Washing
ton is bristling with monuments to
public men, some of whose names you
have never even heard, it still lacks
any fitting memorial to Lincoln, says
the Pathfinder. Like some other
things, there has been so much con-
troversy over the question as to what
form such a memorial should take,
that meantime all action has been
suspended. Five years ago it was de-
cided to do something final about 1t,
and a memorial commission was cre-
ated which was to consider the va
rious plans and suggestions and rec
ommend something definite to con-
gress.
This commission. after this long de-
Law. has now made a report and the
president has transmitted 1t to con-
gress with a special message. The re-
port Is in favor of constructing an
imposing monument in Potomac Park,
in Washington. The design provides
for a marble structure 156 feet long,
fianked by a colonnade Of Doric pill
lars A feet high and seven feet In
diameter In central memorial
hall will be placed heroic statue OF
Lincoln, and on the walls Will be
bronzed tablets bearing his Gettys-
burg address and his second inaugu-
raj address.
This plan Is to locate the Lincoln
memorial on a line with the capitol,
the Washington monument and the
new Grant memorial. 1t will be sur
rounded by elaborate landscape gar
dens and altogether it is estimated 1t
will cost $2,000.000. The movement
for a national Lincoln memorial be-
gan as far back as 1857. Some funds
were collected at that time and since
by popular subscription, but 1t was
finally decided that the nation should
build the memorial and pay for 1t.
Many people are in favor OF putting
the money into a memorial road from
Washington to Gettysburg, and this
proposition Is to be pressed before
congress as a substitute for the mon
ument plan.

What the Warden Didn't Understand

Joseph Jefferson was once fishing,
when a game warden approached and
examined his catch, which consisted of
one beautiful black bass. Then the war
den said:
1T will cost you sir, just twenty-five
dollars for catching this black bass out
of season."
81 take a black bass out of season?"
eclaimed Jefferson. Never! Such an
idea never even occurred to me. I'll tell
you how it happened as he handed the
warden cigar. That black bass was
eating the bait off my hooks as fast as
/ could put it on, so 1 thought l would
just tie him up where he couldn't get at
it until 1 got through fishing. Elk.
