THE TRUTH ABOUT NATURE
BY Berton Braley.
So long have the poets been prais-
ing Dame Nature it's just about time
some one told us the tTuth-the fact
that she's merely a wasteful old
"crature," without any sense and
without any ruth; unguided by man
she just botchers and blunders, Gre
ates life and slaughters it year after
year; the strong she protects and the
weakling she plumbers with never a
sigh and with never a tear.
The beautiful apples our appetite
clogs on were gnaTly and acid in
Dame Natures plan; the peach,
which we dOte on, was nothing but
poison till altered and changed by the
magic of man; the horse was a use
less and small Bohippus, too tiny for
work and too wild for a pet-a beau
tifuI deal Mother Nature would slip
us if man hadn't fought her with
labor and sweat.
She's careless and clumsy and like
'Iy to bungle-though sometimes she
happens to do things aright-but
leave her alone and she gives us
the jungle-a tangle of DARKNESS and
fever and blight. She runs all to
weeds and to rank vegetation, she
breeds all the pests and the vermin
she can. We've given Dame Nature
too much adulation-I lift up my
voice for the conqueror, MAN!

Darling at that time. He intimated
that, from his wife's story he feared
he was helpless to protect her, as his
work called him away and her moral
and mental powers were under what
she termed "superhuman influence"
1t was evident from the story of o.
son that from the time his wife con-
fessed her guilt in November until the
time of the shooting he lived in con-
slant state of terror. Darling's threats
of murder and suicide as conveyed to
Olson by the wife, were turned over
and over in his mind. He could not re-
frain from talking over the matter
with his wife. The home that had
been a happy one now become a place
where a horrible secret, silent shame
threat of death and worse was ever
present
Every minor event in the life Of
each became a finger pointed to a
tragedy. According to his story, a
hearse passing aroused the fear of
death in their hearts. A slam of a
door was a pistol shot. The wall of
night prowling cat became scream
of mortal agony.
Confesses Buying Revolver.
Olson bought a pistol in December
shortly after Darling had followed him
and Mrs. Olson for two blocks. The
couple were sure he was following
them with death in his heart.
The pistol was taken home and
placed on a beam in the cellar. The
wife was not told of the purchase
Olson intimated that he was ofraid tc
let her know of the weapons presence
in the house. He then told of his
hunt for Darling.
81 have got to admit it, said Oar
ling, according to Olson, when they
met in the laundry office, when Olsor
asked as to the hugging and kissing
of his wife.
81 warned him to stay away from
my house or suffer the consequences.
Then he described the second con
fession of his wife, made in November

WASHINGTON TRAFFIC
ORDINANCE VIOLATED
BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, April S.-President
Wilson Sunday unwittingly violated
the new traffic regulations of the ma
tional capital which provides that per
sons shall not cross the streets eX-
cept at corners. The president was
walking with Secretary Tumulty, and
when they reached Pennsylvania av-
enue they cut across diagonally to-
ward the White House. One of the
policemen near the White House smil-
ingly informed them of their error.
The President had paid his first call
at a residence in Washington. He
dropped in on Secretary Tumulty and
chatted with the family before going
downtown.

some points seem heroic, but reme-
dies may be heroic and yet be RENE
dies, 1t is our business to make sure
that they are genuine remedies Our
object is clear. If our motive is
above just challenge and only an &C.
casional error of judgment is charge
able against us, we shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
tiers than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t is best, indeed it is neces-
sary, to begin with the tariff. will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can
obscure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time l may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, If not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now a refrain.
For the present, put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perty to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

HOW To TREAT AILING
CHILDREN

Growing children play hard and
work hard at school, which with ra-
pid growth uses up an enormous
amount of energy and vitality that
must be replaced.
When a child is tired all the time,
no appetite, weak, delicate and sickly
we guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic, will build them
up, create a hearty appetite, sound
flesh and muscle issue, pure healthy
blood, and make them strong.
Mary Lang of Altoona, Pa, writes:
Every since childhood / have been
weak and delicate and my blood has
been thin and poor. Many different
forms of treatment did me no good,
but last spring | took Vinol and now
am so much stronger and better
that l. want you to know it. l don't
know when I have felt so well and
vigorous as / have since taking vi
mol"
If Vinol fails to do Just what we
say, we will give back your money.

was given an artistic production last
night. The brilliantly lighted auditor
ium gave forth the true atmosphere of
the circus that has made this atrac-
ton a common meeting point for peo-
pie in all walks of life. The glare,
the band, the orchestra, the peanut
vendors and ice water dispensers all
combine to give it gala effect and
the carnival spirit is rampant.
Tonight will be Comedy Night, "
when the four act absurdity Weary
Willie" will be presented. There will
be a change of bill each night during
the week, but special attention is in
