Democrat all his life and has been
fighting the battles Of the party since
he could vote.
Ed Grassland was born at Mayfield,
Ky. and was admitted to the bar in
1898 and was elected city attorney
shortly thereafter. He served for four
years with such distinction that he
was chosen county Judge Of Graves

for four years. At the expiration Of
that time he heard the call of the

ant and Grassland has been engaged
in the prosecution Of all important
cases in this county for the past three
years.

charge his duties or rather all Of the
duties Of the office with the same fl
deity and the same answering de-
votion to the preservation Of the
peace Of the community and the en-

is going right along Just as though
a campaign was not on. Up to this
time he is without opposition for the
nomination.

sively read by those interested In
psychic research and various forms
of mysticism and alleged super
natural phenomena. Here is Its &C
count:
Every one has heard OF the
malign Egyptian mummy case which
was brought to the British Museum
some years ago, and whose presence
dealt death and disaster to attend
ants and others who looked upon 1t.
A story is now being told in we'll
informed circles which is said to
have emanated from one OF the
museum authorities. From this 1t
would appear that several of the
museum attendants, convinced that
they were in danger of their lives,
presented an ultE atum that the
coffin-lid must be removed from their
vicinity or they would resign.
Their demand was considered by
the curators, and, In view OF the
catalogue OF calamities that some
how seemed connected with the
mummy case, their demand was con-
sidered reasonable. A replica was
accordingly made and painted in
exact facsimile, and this was ex-
hibited to the public as the real
thing, no outsider being any the
wiser or the worse. The coffin itself
was deposited In an obscure cellar
in the vaults of the museum. Then
all stories as TO the evil influence OF
the Egyptian coffin ceased.
"The attendants exhibited the rep
lica with calm minds and stolid in
scrutability. The public who gazed
upon II suffered no ill-effects. By
and bye. however, an American
Egyptologist inspected the coffin
and ascertained that II was certainly
not genuine. 1t was a faithful copy,
but his expert eye discovered 1t to be
a fraud! To drop on the British
Museum exhibiting a fake was an
event OF first-class importance, and
an exposure that would have brought
worldwide ridicule upon the vener-
able British repository OF antiquarian
art and treasure seemed imminent.
"The curators, therefore, took the
American visitor into their conf
dence and explained what had been
done. Moreover, they took him to
the cellar and showed him the
original coffin, and he declared that
he was satisfied.
"'But look here he said. Il
guess this fine mummy case is not a
bit OF good TO you in your cellars.
1 want that coffin for Americal I'll
make you a bid for it,

his own terms. It was carefully
packed, so that no one could guess
what dts covering case contained;
and arrangements were made so that
no hitch would be caused by Gus
tom House examinations. And so
the coffin was dispatched to America
ON board the Titanic! It now rests
miles deep in the Atlantic. The ques-
ton being discussed is whether the
coffin's reputeu diabolio power hurled
the leviathan to its DOOM"
However baseless, irrational and
credulous their attitude may appear,
many persons undoubtedly believe
that the mummy case really had a
mysterious connection with this and
other tragedies. The fact that so
many persons have been affected by
terror of this inanimate object is in
itself a subject of serious interest.
The mummy case is that of the
Princess Hetare, daughter of the
Pharaoh Amen Hotep III. of the
eighteenth dynasty, one of the great
est kings OF ancient Egypt. The
Princess was a priestess OF the
Temple of Amen-Ra, and lived about
5000 years ago.
The mummy itself was separated
from the case many years ago and
lost This is an important part OF
the tragic history of the relic. A
mummy case is really more interest
ing than the mummy itself. When
the case is of fine quality it bears
a striking likeness Of the deceased,
is richly decorated and is in every
way an object OF high art. The case
in question is a splendid specimen,
The mummy itself is but an un-
slightly bundle of withered flesh,
bones and dingy wrappings.
The Princess Hetare deserted the
Temple of Amen-Ra in order to aid
her half brother, who was fighting
for the throne. The curse OF the god
has rested upon her ever since.
Thus began the story which was pub
lished when her evil influence first
attracted notice. History tells us
that she was murdered by a devotee
of Amen-Ra, but was buried with
royal honors.
Forty years ago the mummy and
case were bought by party of Eng
hshmen in Egypt. On the way back
up the Nile the mummy was mysteri-
OusIy lost, but the party reached
England with the case. Soon after
ward one of them was shot, another
lost his right arm in an accident, and
a third was ruined. The sister of the
deceased owner gave the mummy
case 20 the British Museum.

When the late Captain Robert r.
Scott went away on his last voyage

tion to women.

dren and naturally enough he never
had any Of his own. He has written
much about children and he has
shown a strong propensity for
adopting other children besides
Polly Chase.
When the Captain and his COM
panions died heroically in the polar
wastes, one of his last messages
was addressed to Barrie and related
to his son Peter.
Give the boy a chance, II the
state won't do It. He ought to have
good stun in him." the Captain
wrote.

OF "The Little Minister" Peter
Pan" etc, etc.
Lady Scott, widow OF England'S
Antarctic hero. sculptress. woman
of stern idealism.
Polly Chase, once "Pink Pajama
Girl" in the United States, now
adopted daughter OF Barrie and an
actress OF universally recognized
charm and talent.
A report has been current in very
well informed quarters in London
that Barrie was about to marry
Lady Scott. Undoubtedly they are
very intimate friends. and the
author considers himself responsible
for the future OF the widows little
son, Peter. 1t has even been stated
that the pair had been secretly mar.
Tied. This statement was promptly
denied, but no information about
future plans could be obtained. Bar
Tie himself made this rather puz.
cling statement:
"There is no reason why Lady
Scott should not remarry. And
equally there is no reason why, II
she decides TO remarry, she should
keep the matter secret"
Now. according 10 those who have
studied the intricacies OF this sit
uation the real obstacle TO the mar
riage Of Barrie and Lady Scott is
simply Polly Chase. Barrie adopted
Polly some years ago, when he was
still living with his FIRST wife. II is
understood that he then made her
the principal heir TO his fortune,
which is estimated at $2,5O0,0O0, al
most entirely derived from his enor-
mously successful plays. II is said
that "The Little Minister" alone
yielded him s45O.OOO. America has
contributed hundreds OF thousands

position as adopted daughter OF the
most successful and wealthy play
wright OF the day? II seems great
deal 10 expect OF her. VIII Barrie
disinherit her? That is too cruel an
act to expect from a man OF his
amiable character.
Barrie's original course In adopt
ing charming and well-grown
young woman OF the stage will ap-
pear rather puzzling to many simple
minded people. 1t can only be un-
derstood by those who have made
a thorough study OF all the authors
writings. To those who have mas
tered the extraordinary psychology
revealed by such books as "Senti-
mental Tommy" and Tommy and
Grisel." no sentimental action by
Barrie need appear surprising. II
may safely be said that there is
nothing OF the red-blooded primitive
man, "the mans man" OF American
fiction, about Barrie. He is gentle
and subtle.
Five years ago Barrie obtained a
divorced from his first wife, formerly
Mary Ansell. a very handsome Eng
lish actress. He obtained Il on the
ground OF her relations with Gilbert
Cannan, a rising young critic, who
in the intervals OF calling on Mrs.
Barrie was trying TO improve the
stage censorship. The evidence
showed that he had repeatedly
abused Barries hospitality. Barrie
offered to forgive his wife II she
would express contrition, but she
wouldn't. He wept when he went
into court. Then he gave a house
in London, a house In the country
and a handsome income for life 20
his divorced wife.
The first Mrs. Barrie was not alto
gether pleased with Polly Chase as
an adopted daughter. The senti-
mental Barrie discovered that PolIv
was the ideal child of his dreams
from the first time he set eyes on
her. Originally she had made her
success In musical shows, In which
shapely limbs were the great attrac-
ton. She went to London from
America and after some other ex.
periences obtained an engagement
as one OF the children IN the frat
production OF peter Pan"
II was then that she pleased Bar
rie SO much. In the next production
OF Peter Pan" she played the title
part and made an immense success.
She proved that she possessed talent
OF serious order.
Nature has marked Barrie as a
man 10 be blessed with many women
friends. With so much sentiment
and so much money he was sure 10
be favored in that way.

and that It Is wicked to ask her to
sacrifice herself to the memory Of a
dead husband, however heroic. Cap
tain Scott, these people argue, would
not have asked. her to remain un.
married on his own account, but
would unselhshly have wished her
TO do the best thing she could for
herself and the children.
Nevertheless those who think she
ought to remain unmarried are In.
huential in her immediate surround
ings. 1t is believed that she might
defy them, but she could only do 1t
If Miss Polly Chase would relinquish
her position as Barrie's adopted
daughter. Some of the puritans
would perhaps be unkind enough to
speak of the clever young actress
as Polly, the Pink Pajama Girl"
They would groan and roll up their
eyes at the thought that she was
helping to bring up Captain Scott's
little boys. They would say that the
British nation had lavished its gen.
erosity on Lady Scott In vain.
1t seems then certain that Sir
James Matthew Barrie cannot win
the heros widow unless pretty
Polly Chase will extinguish herself
and that is asking too much. It Is
a predicament as puzzhng and cruel
as any In which Sentimental
Tommy" ever found himself.

- HE notorious haunted mummy
case in the British Museum
i Is now credited by the super
stitious with having caused an even
greater tragedy than any yet re-
corded in it's 5000 years OF tragic
history.
This time It is the dreadful Titanic
disaster that is associated with the
deadly mummy case. According to a
story which is being widely circu-
lated here the beautifully painted
and gilded mummy case. which is an
object of remarkable interest, was
secured by an American millionaire
from the museum, where II had been
placed in the cellar to save the at
tendants and visitors from the bale
ful effects OF its exhibition in the
public rooms! The American shipped
It on the Titanic. and the great ship
went down IN the manner everybody
is familiar with.

to her husband had he lived was
given to her. Her husbands full pay
as a naval captain on active service,
amounting to $4,000 year, was be-
slowed on her. Out Of the public
subscription raised for the families
of Scott's party, $42.5OO was given
to her and $17,5OO TO her son, Peter.
The King offered her apartments
in Hampton Court Palace, but she
declined this on the ground that she
could not carry on her sculpture
there.
In view Of all this many fervent
patriots think Lady Scott would be
ungrateful and undignihed II she ac-
cepted the name and protection Of
another husband. On the other
hand there is not lacking many good

shoes or anS covering upon his
legs. His unconventional costume
was remarked at the memorial SER
vices in honor Of his father. He is
allowed to see only what is beauti-
full and uplifting in art and nature.
Yet another element enters into
this complicated situation. That is
the public attitude in England con-
cerning Lady Scott's proposed re-
marriage. Many persons think that
as the widow of national hero she
should keep herself apart in sacred
and unsulhed loneliness. This theory
