INDICTMENT or soozE. a..s-
(By JUDGE GEMMII... of the Municipal
I Court of Chicago)
I have observed that every bandit
crew that goes forth to murder starts
from q saloon; that every panderer
has his rendezvous in . groEshop;
that every den Of thieves makes its
victims drunk before It robs them;
that every house Of prostitution has
its bar or II in partnership with
booze: that every gambling den either
IL In . saloon or sustains close re-
lationship with one: that the pick
pocket trust" is housed In . saloon:
that the ''pay-on Joint" for the crook
and the crooked policeman 10 in q
saloon: that the professional bonds
men and character witnesses for
thieves and holdup men are saloon
keepers Or bartenders.
Booze has caused 100000 divorces
In the United States in the last TWEEN
ty years, and adds $4,000 more to this
number every year. II divides more
homes, nils more jails and empties
more churches than all other infiu-
ences combined.
Judges. legislators. mayors. gov
ernors and even presidents sit dumb
or quail in the presence Of this mon
ster. which enters millions OF homes
and leaves them desolate. 4

people becoming prejudiced because
of their appearance. says recent

There are some crops that are OF
vastly superior quality when grown
on some kinds of soil. When raised
on commercial scale only those vege.
tables that arc best adapted to the
soil should be raised. Celery does
best ON comparatively small variety
Of soils. Root crops grown In sandy
soils are always more smooth than
those grown on the heavy soils. How
ever. these vegetables can be raised
very successfully for home use in the
home garden with comparatively
small amount Of special care. on Al
most any type OF soil.
Practically ell Of our vegetables
consist Of over so per cent water. with
some having almost S5 per cent Of wa
ter. The quality OF fresh vegetables
is largely dependent upon this large
amount Of moisture. With crops such
As lettuce. celery and cabbage. where
the leaf parts. that contain very
high per cent of water, are eaten, 1t
is very important to have an abun-
dant supply Of moisture. With insufd-
cient moisture these crops are stunt
ed and have . very inferior havor.
The rapid growth resulting from an
abundant supply OF moisture produces
the very delicate leaf tissues which
are Characteristic. of vegetables OF best
quality. Some vegetables, such a. to-
matoes and melons, need n very abun-
dant supply Of moisture early in the
season. but produce vegetables OF best
quality II the soil Is comparatively dry
during the ripening season. Soil moist
ure can be conserved by frequent and
continuous cultivation during the sum
mer. In the sections having light
soils, or soils deficient in moisture. .
very satisfactory plan during dry sea'
sons is to cover the soil with mulch
of straw manure during the early
part Of the summer, instead Of culti-
waiting.

The high Dlun on which stands

was begun at that time to save the
historic site from further damage.
The ground slopes from the mansion
to the edge OF the blum. and from this
point drops steeply for . hundred
feet or more to the edge OF the Poto-
mac. The river at this point 10 q wide

ivory was later weighed at the factory
Of the ultimate Importer the weights
were lower than those returned by the
government officials and approximated
the weights contained on the invoice.
When the question came before the
board of general appraisers. Judge
Waite did not attempt TO decide
whether ivory Is an absorbent OF
moisture. but held that the importer
had failed to prove his case. So the
question remains an open one.

The Ordway new era., 1915-09-17

as we have any proof OF.
That 1t can remain that long has
been we'll known to US by the evidence
curiously given to US by the seals
themselves. They have habit Of
turning themselves head down in tho
sea, with their hind nippers lifted up
entirely out of the water, completely
reversing their normal attitude when
rising to breathe and survey. This
habit Is to enable them better to
scratch their sides and loins with the
fore nippers than they can when not
thus inverted. because the hair and fur
open better in this queer position un-
der water when rubbed By their dip
pers. A great many stopwatch rec
ords have been made of the time un-
der water which seal would keep fts
head when thus scratching. and the
limit of four to i've minutes was ire
quently m.de- never longer.
With reference to the powers Of de-
struction. Of course our fur seal boat
has no torpedo tubes. but " can and
does shoot It's mouth or at fsh with

In this connection It IL interesting
to note that seals do not catch fish ~

down, from above. upon The backs. or
up from below. to strike at the bel

A HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.
Charlemagne Crowned as Emperor of
the Romans LOO Years Ago.

Charlemagne Crowned as Emperor Of
the Romans LOO Years Ago.
On Dec. %, in the year 800. the holy
Roman empire was born. Europe was
in the iron grasp Of Charlemagne. The
great king had gone to Rome to In
vestigate charges lodged against the
pope, Leo ILL., The pontiff made good
his defense and on Dec. % took sol
emn oath Of exculpation. Two days
later, early ON Christmas morning, the
pope celebrated mass In the great ba-
silica of st. Peters, church not at all
like the huge renaissance structure
reared by Bramante and Michelangelo.
The edifice was crowded to the
doors, for all Rome flocked in those
days to see the wonderful Frank, who,
like Mohammed, spread his gospel by
the sword. Charles. clad in Roman
costume, with the chlamys hanging
from his shoulders, knelt in prayer be-
fore the tomb of st. Peter. When he
rose to his feet Leo approached and,
placing a golden crown upon the kings
head, acclaimed him emperor of the
Romans. Again the poniff folded
him In purple mantle, and great
shout went up from the people as
greeting to the first of the new Gaze
sars.
The scene is thus described by Egin-
hard. the historian OF Charlemagne:
"At the moment when, In his place be-
fore the altar, be was bowling down
to pray Pope Leo placed on his head
crown, and all the Roman people
shouted, Long life and victory to
Charles Augustus, crowned by God,
the great and pacific emperor of the
Romansv After this proclamation the
pontiff Frustrated himself before him
and paid him alteration, according to
the custom established in the days Of
the old emperors, and thenceforward
Charles, giving up the title Of patri.
elan, bore that of emperor and Au-
gustus"
A millennium later. on the banks OF
the Seine, another pope crowned an
other emperor. who had planted his
throne on the wreck OF the fabric
reared by Charlemagne.
