Little Cwendolyn had all that
money could buy; she was rich
yet poor; she lived in a mansion
yet she was lonely; she scarcely
knew her parents-she was the
neglected daughter of a wealthy
American family; her playmates?
she had none at all; then
through their little daughter the
selfish parents are brought to
realize that each is travelling in the
wrong direction and that their
goal is happiness in place of
wealth-and then across the sweet
mind of youth came the vision of
the happiness of the other kind
of child.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just thinkl You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Books in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
auctions to its credit in prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for immortality; in Roman dungeon
Galileo made some of his greatest dis
coveries. In his prison in Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ament into the German language. Dur
ing his twelve years In Bedford jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
Of the Pilgrims Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote his fragmentary
history of the world to beguile the long
years Of his Imprisonment in the
Tower of London. Much of the New
Testament also is prison literature.
Some of the finest of the epistles Of
st. Paul were written during his inn
prisonment at Rome. and the Book Of
the Revelation of st. John was writ
ten while he was an exile on the island
prison Of Patmos.-London Chronicle.

eossips Busy over Leak.

Take the leak case. One heard at
every street corner and in every hotel
corridor in the city Of Washington that
a certain man Of high official position,
whose name was given had met anoth-
err man whose name was given, at d
certain place and at certain time,
one located definitely, and the other
given to the minute, and had tipped
him the peace note secret.
A little inquiry showed that the Off.
cial of the government had not met the
man and had not been at the place
mentioned at any time, let alone at the
hour set for the meeting when trust
was said to have been betrayed.
The plan for the writing of the peace
note was in President Wilson's mind
for three weeks. He said so at the
time that there was an intimation he
had put it out suddenly In order to
have it appear coincidentally or almost
coincidentally with the German note
suggesting that peace might be had on
certain terms. When state paper is
being prepared the state department
and the White House are, of course, in
communication one with another and
Of the very necessities in the case at
least half a dozen and sometimes a
dozen MEN know something about the
matter. There are records to be con-
suited, presidents to be studied and
then, of course, there is the writing and
the typewriting, all of which involves
the inclusion in the ''secret circle" of
employees.
1t seems to be generally admitted
that there was leak somewhere along
the pipe line of information. There
have been leaks before in the history of
the United States government. Ger
tain parts of the presidents messages
have been known in places where they
ought not TO be known prior to the
date of release. A foreshadowing OF
what the president was going to say
in his message on some matter of mo-
ment has affected stocks in Wall street.

Gossip Busy over "Leak."

A leak ordinarily Is understood to be
small thing, but the recent leak in
this capital city actually inundated the
| town with excitement.
| The charge that somebody in ad-
vance of the presidents peace note told
stock spectators that 1t was to be
expected, has been exploited pretty
thoroughly in the press. Washington
is gossipy place, and within "a hours
stories were afioat that this man o.
that man, the names being given, was
responsible for giving away the admin
istration's secrets and for making SOM
millions in Wall street for one set O.
spectators and losing them for an
other.
the chairman of the committee on for
eign relations said fatty that he be
lieyed that the leak had come from tn,
! state department and he intimated tina
he thought 1t came from employee;
holding high and confidential positions
This statement of Senator Stone sci

more, but 1t relieved the anxieties OF
certain innocent persons not In the
state department whom scandal-loving
Washington had charged by word of
mouth from one person to another
with being responsible fol- the betrayal
Of state secrets.
1t is criminal for one charged with
news gathering to jump at conclusions
in this town. Men gossip and women
gossip, and you can hear anything that
you want to or do not want to about
this man or that man. and even about
this woman or that woman, and the
more prominent in official or social life
the person is the more certain it is
that things that ought not to be said
will be said.
