RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

H. c. G.-The words from Ar
ticle II, amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States, "a
well-regulated militia being nee
essary to the security Of free
people, the right of the people
TO keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed," evidently have a
community meaning: but they
also carry along with them the
right of the individual to safe
guard himself and his house by
keeping himself armed with the
necessary means of defense The
laws against carrying concealed
weapons, now on the statute
books of most of the States. is
a matter quite foreign to the
broad principles OF the right of
keeping and bearing arms.

The Great MARI
borough
By REV. THos. B. GREGORY

T was 202 years ago that the
Great Marlborough was hand
ed his walking papers by
Queen Anne, and the most Illus
trious man In the world. bowling
his head to the storm, felt as did
the old Cardinal Minister of Hen
ry the Eighth-"Oh. how wretch
ed is that poor man that hangs
on princes favors."
John Churchll-for such he
was to begin with-just plain
John Churchill-was one of the
luckiest men that ever lived. If
fortune ever had a darling, pet
ted, pampered favorite, upon
whom she delighted to pour her
richest favors. 1t was Churchill.
All the Graces, all the good and
kindly Angels, all the gracious,
smiling Fates seemed to camp
about him, and, when he moved
to follow him with their ever
renewed and never failing bene-
dictions.
And In way this seemed to
be all right, for Churchill, in an
important sense, earned his Illus
trious honors. He was selected
by his Government to beat down
the oppressive rule of Louis
Fourteenth, and he performed his
task TO perfection: and In crush
ing the power OF that high
headed old despot. he did England
and the whole world the service
that can never be fully appre-
ciated.
As general Marlborough is
almost without peer. He never
lost battle, never besieged
city without taking ii, and never
undertook anything in a military
way without accomplishing it,
Measured by the ideals of his
time, he was a great MANN
fact The greatest mau-and il

have his splendid reward

it was only natural that his for

Marlborough; Without intending
or wishing It, YOU did much for
mankind You smashed the ar
mics ot the Reactionists and by
your splendid victories paved the
way Tor modern liberty and prog

Your pucal crown and splendid

Better Quality.

DR. Sarah j. McNutt. a dis
tinguished authority upon med
ical topics, declares emphaticaily
that it is her opinion, after study
ing the subject for many years,
that a woman who has had the
advantages of the higher educa-
ton will probably not produce as
many children. but her children
will be of a better quality. and
more likely to live to attain and

The educated woman Of % will
not marry a drunkard, a bounder,

Expunges Stiffness.
Mrs. Winifred Harper Coolev
president of the Associated Clubs
of Domestic Science, was in
clined to back up DR.. McNutt's
conclusions.
Mrs. Cooley says that ths
higher education for woman pre-
vents silly sentiment from TAX

with an approximately indissolu-
bic marriage.
Nature does not contemplate a
lifelong partnership" says DR..
Anna Shaw, "and it is not al all
likely that woman of intellec-
tual attainments will marry
man who is mentally common
place"
The tragedy of marriage often
turns on the fact that while the
man and woman start in on an
equality, the woman gets incar-
cerated in a kitchen, is deluged
in housekeeping details, and
swamped by society, while the
man goes ahead and intellectual
ly evolves.
So at 40 or so this man and
woman are strangers to each
other.
Marilla Kicker, attorney at law,
says that the smallness of fami-
lies is principally on account Of
the bad habits of the men.
And for these small families
We should be thankful. Nature
Men show women how TO

While, perhaps, it is true that
more women go to the hospitals

these women are sent to the hos

The Conservation Commission
appointed by the United States
Government states that there are

sick simply because they have
violated the laws of health.

lieve that more men violate the
laws of health than women, and

Education and Motherhood
Bv EBERT HUBBARD

n a TABLE of interesting sta
= tistics has been put out I'M
officially, from Philadelphia
with intent to show that the high
er education of women tends to
race suicide. The original basis
of these figures was a thesis
worked out at length by a Bryn
Mawr graduate.
We have been told that gossIps
lie like epitaphs; and certain it
is that figures prevaricate. If
you don't believe it, ask your
tailor, Mark Twain says you can
prove anything by statistics, pro-
vided you select the right ones
Let an individual start out with
intent to prove a point, and he
can find figures that will back
him up in II.
Logic is an instrument for en-
trenching prejudice. At least,
that is what Miss Gildersleeve,
dean of Barnard, AYERS on being
interviewed.
Says Miss Gildersleeve: AN
these figures prove is that young
women graduated in 1912 haven't
as many babies as the women who
were graduated in 1900"
Miss Gilders1eeve is Of the opin-
ion that the higher education
postpones motherhood. That is,
Instead of the girl marrying at
10, she marries at %. And this.
Miss Gildersleeve thinks, is a
move in the right direction
AS DR.. Stanley Hall says, De
lay adolescence" so Miss Glider
sleeve says, Delay motherhood"
Miss Gildersleeve quotes Hugo
De Fries, the eminent biologist,
who says, The best qualities are
reproduced only from mature
stock"

Learn When to Paw Taxes.

Two bills were passed by the Legisla-
ture relating to the paying of county
taxes. Taxes are due as soon as levied,
or about June LIST, and after September
LIST interest will be charged all those who
have not paid their taxes. Heretofore,
interest was charged after January LIST.
The Frederick News says:
1.-TWO bill upon the same subject, one
to go into effect Immediately, and the
other not until the expiration of the term
of office of the present incumbent have
been received at the office of the County
Commissioners. The Board is now try
ing to decipher which bill is a law, and
will ask the Attorney General of the
State to decide.
1.-The two bills in question relate to
the date for the payment of taxes. AL
taxes are to be due as soon as levied and
after September are to draw interest
at the rate of six per cent. and II not
paid by January the property may be
advertised and taxes collected by the un-
usual legal procedure of collecting long
overdue taxes.
AT any rate, by the reason of the
two laws a pretty mix-up has been made

SchooIhouse Damaged.
Stove Upset, Desks and Book
Cases Broken at Logs.

4
The public school building at Logs,
about three miles east of Thurmont, was
entered some time between Friday even
ing and Monday morning and considerable
damage done to the books and furniture
in the building.
Miss Hazel Boiler, the teacher, on en-
tering the building Monday morning
found the room in terrible condition
so bad that no school could be held that
day.
She at once notified the trustees, Messrs
Harvey Ogle, VIM. H. Long and Harry
Boiler, and they Immediately called upon
Sheriff Conard to help apprehend the
guilty parties.
The stove was broken by being over
turned eggs were broken over the floor,
fire had been started at several places in
the room, and very obscene writings
placed upon the blackboard. Entrance
was gained by breaking the lock on the
door.
1t is said that man and woman were
seen in that locality Saturday and it is
believed that this couple are the parties
who entered the building. A description
of the two was given Sheriff Conard
Monday afternoon. The sheriff and one
of his deputies came from Logs to Thur
mont and got deputy l.idie in their auto
mobile and started toward Emmitsburg
looking for man and woman. Stopping
at various places along the road and
making inquiry they learned that they
were on the right road. At Emmitsburg
deputy Lidie learned that the couple was
seen eating lunch along the Gettysburg
road in the vicinity of Merits Tavern.
The sheriff and party started in pursuit
and when Confederate avenue, near Get
tysburg, was reached they saw man
and woman walking leisurely along and
deputy Lidie recognized them as the
parties wanted. The sheriff proceeded
to the sheritf's office in Gettysburg and
after securing an officer, went after the
pair, arrested them and took them to
Gettysburg.
When searched, the sheriff found them
we'll supplied with lead pencils, crayons,
drinking cups, and various other articles
used in a schoolroom.
They admitted being at Logs, and made
no resistance when asked to return to
Maryland. Sheriff Conard with prison
ers and deputies returned to Frederick
and placed the pair arrested in Jail.
The couple were recognized as being
William Fogle and wife. Fogle is son
of the late Solomon Fogle of Franklin
Mills. 1t is said they have no home and
that they wander about the country, now
and then dropping in to see some of their
relatives.

The following poem was composed by
Estele Houch. pupil of Appolds school
for Rally Day, and was given US by Mrs.
Anna M, JONES' teacher of the school.
NATURE.
Mother Nature. how thy beauty
Cheers and charms US on our way!
Helping US perform our duty
BY the sun 5 warm heavenly ray.
From the first tear of the spring time,
And from summers smile so sweet,
And when winters merry bells chime
Autumn's whisperings repeat,
You may hear message calling
In each season, time, and place.
AS the leaves of autumn falling,
So the goodness of His grace.
He will feed and cherish ever,
Every lamb that's in His fold;
He will leave them, leave them never
To the biting, piercing cold.
So doth Mother Nature cherish
Every plant that's in her care;
Sees that none do really perish,
Though to us they're brown and bare.
When the leaves fall from the roses
And the bush seems dry and dead
Still when winter Ger them closes
A white blankets Ger them spread.
The birds pipe their sweetest music
From the spring until the fall;
! And then as if they were too sick
To await the suns next call
They fly to lands that are warmer,
And there nine their merry strain:
They'll be here with us next summer
And even sing in the rain.
How our hearts are cheered and gladdeneC
By the first flowers of the spring!
Though our hearts by grief were saddened
Yet this sea son joy doth bring.
If we've sown our seeds in darkness,
With what JOY we reap them now;
For the summers golden harvest
| Is packed safe within the NOW.
Autumn brings US cooler weather,
And the western wind doth blow;
Now our apples we do gather,
Still the brooks do onward flow.
Winter comes with freezing dullness,
Bringing sleet and snow and ice;
We partake of joys in fulness,
Sleighing now and skating's nice.
Natures secrets in disclosure
But what changes come and go!
Those who are in love with nature
Meier shall sigh for change below.
-Estelle Houck
