FORMER CLERK !,
IS IN THE ! ilUI[S
Handsome Harry" Once
st the Hotel Warren,
Tastes High Life.

HNar Hallin, clerk at the Warren
House several months ago, figures in
an interesting article in today's Record
Herold which reads as follows:
Harry HalIin was the handsome clerk
ut the Warren house at Baraboo, Wis.,,
until he began to believe what visitors
from the big cities told him about the
bright light" and the primrose path
of dalliance", mentioned there by other
names.
So five months ago he left Baraboo
to prove himself "a man of the world"
AS for the mother and sister he'd been
supporting in Richland Center-they' d
get along somehow, he felt sure.
Thus Baraboo heard no more of
Handsome Harry" until yesterday.
Last Tuesday evening "a tall, hand
some, well dressed young man walked
into the8Michigan Central ticket office
at Gary, Ind, and laid down a check
for $50. On it's face was the name of
the Crescent Roofing Co, Chicago.
''Give me $40 worth of mileage, said
the young man. 'I'm drummer for
the roofing company and my names
Venor Murdock
The ticket agent asked HIM to wait q
minute, stepped to his desk, reread a
circular from the Railway Ticket Pro-
tective Bureau, then talked over the
telephone moment. Soon tine young
man was in Gary cell, charged with
forgery.
Charles w. Tobie of the William J.
Burns National Detective agency went
there and had talk with him yester-
day.
Eyes, I'm Harry Hallin." said the
accused man. "Since | left Baraboo
travelled all over the country, using the
names of Venor and Vernon Murdock,J J.
N. Calvin, Herman Hoffman, Robert
McIlvain, A. B. Calling and Frank K.
SOules.
'I've been living in fine style, cash
ing checks wherever [ went to pay ho-
tel bills and for railway mileage. The
checks had printed in Omaha, Those
/ cashed l filled out for$25 to SO. In all
I got about So, 600.
Handsome Harry" then listed the
hotels, railroads and banks he victim
lied and the names of the firms used
on the fraudulent checks.
''Now, don't tell my right name-I
don't want mother and sister to
know" said the young man. I'm will
ing to plead guilty and go to the peni-
tentiary. Why did do do it? Say,
have you ever been to Baraboo or Rich
land Center?"

Brains and Character

A man is a unit. There never has
been a bs sl brain attached in one man
to a good character; or a thoroughly
diseased and vicious body to good
brain; or fine character to poor
and picayune brain. Take Martens
Goo S tool." There was an exquisite
character in an imbecile. Can you call
any man imbecile who has the divine
spark whereby to distinguish invar-
iably the essential from the non-essen-
tial; the limited from the eternal; the
great from the small? He was called
Gods tooP not because his brain
was small, but because his brain was
so great it would not stOOp to notice
little human valuations. 4ell him he
had lost his fortune and he would
smile brightly and go on with his
work: but tell him q child was lonely
or cruelty treated and he was up in
arms against an evil world. There
was once a man who lived in town;
it was just an ordinary town, little
less advanced, perhaps, than the
average IN social morals, and the man
lived there for years; he was poor; he
lived in extreme simplicity, he talkeu
simply, even colloquially; but he
bound up moral and mental wounds;
he managed never to scott and never
to scorn: he made peace wherever he
came; he brought sunshine into the
darkest hole he entered; he kept him
self so in the background that no one
ever heard or knew whether he was
personally happy or successful, OF
whether he had what he wanted or
lacked it, and when he went away
every one said: "He was a good man;
he was not intellectual, but he was
good" And not once did they measure
the intellectual brilliancy of being able
to see and understand the Christ ideal,
the ideal of giving help and counsel
and comfort and sunshine to an evil
Wild without once letting want OF
ones own leak out. Does 1t matter
really whether initiative, energy, in
tellectual brilliancy is directed to min
.ering to a town full of people OF
writing critique of Pure Reason? Il
Is simply intellect differently directed,

MANY ARE POISONED
AT CHICAGO BANQUET

More than 100 distinguished persons,
including visiting prelates of the Ro-
man Catholic church, were poisoned
supposedly by soup last night at a
banquet in Chicago at a University
club at which the Rev. George
William Mundelein, archbishop of
Chicago, was the guest of honor.
The dinner had hardly got under way
when several of the banqueters ex-
cused themselves. The number grew
rapidly, and before the fish course had
been finished more than 100 men had
been compelled to leave the banquet
table. The archbishop did not par
take of the soup nor did Governor
Dunno, who was among those present,
and both escaped illness.
You will note that the
church and state are ssfe," remarked
the archbishop, looking at the COVER
nor when it was possible to resume
the meal.

SMOKING IN THE HIGH SCHOOL

On May 10, 1915, all boys in the
Appleton high school were requested
to give their history as to smoking.
Reports were given without signing
names, and care was taken to get a
full and frank report from every
boy. Out of 1877 high school boys
1913 had learned to smoke, though
only Al were smoking at the time of
making the report. Boys had learn
ed to smoke at all ages, from 6 to Is,
and the causes Of starting were curl
osity, teasing, humiliation Of being
different from the bunch, tobacco at
home, drug and tobacco stores, diff
ferent from others, shacks and pic
MICS, thought it manly and smart.
In some cases older boys suggested
and taught the habit. The boys
were asked the solutions of the prac-
tice of smoking and gave twenty
different possible ways of roofing
this habit out of the high school. A
student committee worked out a
plan based on these findings. The
plan includes the taking of pledge
to abstain from tobacco temporarily
or permanently and the barring from
social and athletic events in the high
school in case the pledge is refused.
Also a committee is to be reported
to work with the smokers and lead
them to break the habit.
The personal work done and the
general interest aroused in the cam
paign to eradicate the use of tobacco
has brought about very good results,
and it is hoped that the campaign
will eliminate smoking entirely and
permanently"
