MOTHER LEADS REBELLIOUS GIRL
BRIDE TO SCHOOL AND BACK AGAIN
Suck Is the Blight That Has Settled Upon the Budding Romano
of of15-Year-Oh Anna French and Youthful Husband
She Tool at ELTON.

No more fearful blight could have
been cast upon the budding romance OF
l5-year-old Anna L, French and Edward
Poore, the youthful Collingswood couple
who eloped TO Elkton a few weeks ago
and perjured themselves so that they
could be made man and wife, than that
now being perpetrated by Annals mother
Mrs. Edna French.
Like a recalcitrant tom-boy, the girl
bride Is being taken TO school every
morning by the determined mamma. who
had decided not to let her daughter out
OF her sight And TO advertise further her
shame. Mrs. French after school hours
haunts the high school where Anna Is a
pupil and brings her home by sheer force.
The reason Is, Of course, that Anna
has been separated from her erstWhile
spouse and annulment proceedings insti-
tuted.
But Anna doesn't want TO be separated
She says so again and again, and that's
where the rub comes in The separation
Is entirely a maternal measure
I'm going back 70 him just as soon
as / get the chance" the rebellious girl
reiterates again and again, according 20
her youthful sister. and for that reason
Mrs. French has decided not TO let the
girl away from the shadow Of the home

COLONEL HOUSE SEES
NO CHANCE FOR PEACE
President Wilson's Friend,
Back From Europe, Reports
War Feeling Is Unchanged.

ROSLIN, L. l., June IA.
Colonel e. NJ. House, who slipped down
here yesterday as soon as he got back
from his four months stay abroad, said
that he saw no chance for peace in Eu-
rope. Moreover, he asserted that the
United States never had the job of
peacemaker" and he denied that his trip
had been undertaken as President Will
sons unofficial envoy on a mission Of
peace. Colonel House brought to an end
an interview during which he declined to
answer many questions and smiled away
many others by saying when asked If he
would accept the place of Secretary of
State, that 1t hadn't been offered 20 him.
The Colonel never for a minute shook
the belief of his interviewers that he was
the Presidents personal representative
abroad, and q close one, too. He ad-
mitted that he might 60 to Washington
tonight to rec the President, although
he said he didn't know; he might not go
for two or three days.
Colonel House said that he talked with
all the high Government officials of
Great Britain, France and Germany. He
saw and talked with everybody high in
official circles except the Kaiser and King
George. And he also conferred with Her
bert c. Hoover, American chief agent in
London for the Belgian relief.
Colonel House was the guest of Ambas-
sador Gerard in Berlin, from where he
went to Switzerland for a few days.
Then he returned to London and was
there when the Lusitanla was sunk and
when the Presidents first note was sent
to Germany. The result of what he saw
and all that he heard convinced him, he
said, of the hopelessness of peace now.
Everybody is tired of the war;" he
said. but there is no dimlnution in the
support of the people. There is no change
In the popular feeling. / was impressed
by the hopeful spirit. They all have 1t.

Bluey Blackbird Tries "Huffing"

Mr.. Garden Toad sat in the gravel Of

careful to speak 70 him politely. How
are you this fine morning.
Very well, 1 thank you" replied the
toad lazily," Hope yon are the same
likewise" He blinked one eye sleeplly
so that Bluey would understand that ne
wanted to rest and not talk-it was too
warm and sleepy day for visiting.
But Bluey didn't notice the blink, so OF
course he didn't take the hint Mr.. Gar

settled himself In the path for visit.

asked"
Nov that was the question he always
asked Mr. Toad. not that he cared about

Toad always answered politely, "fne flies
and how about Worms?" and that gave
Biuey a chance 10 tell about an the
worms he had caught and about what
smart and clever bIackbird he was-a
subject that Interested Bluey very much.

be steamed In this way, and for a small
amount 1t is more convenient than a big

the Denver Post. Ardourel says, 81
was on the committee which drafted
what is known as the long approprid-
ton bill Heretofore it has been GUS
tomaiy by all legislatures to vote an
especial sum for the speaker of the
house, between $500 and $1,000, to re-
munerate him for the extra expense
to which he naturally must go. l know
of a fact that Mr. Stewart spent sew
eral thousand dollars as speaker Of
the house for which he will never
get any pay. He spent the money for
the good of beneficial legislation.
When we were fixing up the bill the
question Of voting 81 600 to Mr.. Stew
art was considered. One Of the COM
mittee said Mr. Stewart had asked
that this appropriation be not made.
After that ! called on Stewart in ref
erence to the matter and he asked
that we omit that part, that he did
not need the money and did not want
it, and would not take it if appropriat-
ed. Consequently it was omitted.
When the bill came before the house,
one of the men who had fought Stew
art all season moved to insert this
appropriation Mr.. Stewart requested
that it be eliminated but it was pass
ed, every member in the house eN-
cept Mr.. Stewart voting for it. He
voted against it and said he would
not take the money Now comes the
rotten Post and in its self-righteous-
ness says it will save the people that
money. If Mr. Stewart wants it, he
can take it. Surely he is entitled to
it; but he will not take it, and then
the Post will claim that it saved the
money to the people. Was there ever
anything more despicable ?"
Perhaps there have been more de-
spicable deeds done, but if so they
were done by the Denver Post. No
other outfit is so lost to all shame and
decency, to all elements of honor and
honesty as is the Post. Some day that
outfit will get what is coming TO it

A Challenge Accepted

Under the large-typed heading, "A
Challenge" the St. Louis Republic of
Tuesday "tempts fate to its own un-
doing" and throws down the gauntlet
in the Lord-Angus-thouhast-lied de-
fance which follows:
"Our morning contemporary declares
that: "The Underwood tariff virtual
ly opened our doors for the admission
of foreign products and manufac-
lures, and the evil effect of this
breach in the tariff barricade was
making itself strongly manifest long
before the war began. By checking
all industry and putting an almost
prohibitive price upon transportation
the war stopped foreign competition
with our producers and manufacturers
and nullified the democratic tariff
law"
The Republic unhesitatingly pro-
nounces this to be false and chal-
lenges its republican neighbor to
point out the facts in the government
statistical reports of imports sup
porting such a statement. In order
that the good faith of the challenge
may clearly appear and that there
may be no chance of evasion of the
issue we challange our contemporary
