BECOMES A MOTHER AT 81.
Woman Welded to Young Man Has a
Baby In Her Old Age.

Milwaukee, "Fifty-eight years
years old? My dear boy, they said that
about me four years ago when [ went
to Kenosha with Albert to be married
where our friends could not make too
much of hubbub about a disparity in
our ages. They said then that he was
twenty-five and I was fifty eight. What
Of it? Love knows no years"
Thus spoke Mrs. Balone Manzke, a
mother at siXty-tWo or Whereabouts, as
she fondled the baby girl which some
time ago came to their home in Mil
waukee to gladden. the declining years
of the mother and to rejoice the heart
of the youthful husband. And it was
a real motherhood that Mrs. ManZke
portrayed as she played with her own
baby, a mother with her hair showing
the advance Of years in it's suggestion
of gray.
Four years ago the couple went from
Zion City to Kenosha to be married.

in the deposit Of a small retail grocer
An expert was sent for and undertook
the case.
He found that the grocer had re-
ceived the bill from a shoe dealer, who
had it from a dentist, who had it from
somebody else, and so on until the Sc
cret service man finally traced the note
to an invalid woman, who had used it
to pay her physician. When questioned
this woman said that the money had
been sent her by her brother, who lived
in New Orleans.
The sleuth looked up the brothers
antecedents and soon became con-
vinced that he was the man wanted.
The brother, however, soon proved to
the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicious were I'M
founded. Indeed, it appeared that the
money had been received by the New
Orleans man in part payment Of rent
of a house he owned in Pittsburgh.
While the sleuth was a bit discour
aged, he couldn't give over the case
when he had gone so far. so he took
the next train for Pittsburgh.

burgh proved to be travelling Oculist.

die west. The secret service man had
the good fortune, however, to catch
him just as he had returned from a
trip. and the man at once recognized
the bad bill as one that had been given
him by patient in Cleveland. the very
point where the sleutb had started,
The patient was a boss carpenter
The carpenter, an honest old fellow,
said that he had received the bill from
certain Perkins. The said Perkins
was the small grocer in whose bank
deposit the counterfeit had turned up.
The expert few to the grocer's as
quickly as the taxi would take him
and found it closed. The grocer had
left town.
Afterward it was shown beyond
question that the grocer was the agent
of an organized band of counterfelters
His shop was a mere blind That the
bill which he gave the carpenter should
get back into his own funds after tray

those miracles of chance for which

CHINESE Revolutionary
HERO'S MEMORY HONORED
Scrolls Sent by Three of Late
Yuan Shin Kai's Sons to
Commemorate Patriotism.

Shanghai.-Scrolls sent by three of
the late Yuan Shih Kais sons to COM
memOrate the patriotism of General
Tsai 40 were the most unusual feature
Of the funeral services for the revOlu-
tiOnary leader conducted here on the
arrival of his body from Japan.
General Tsai 40 was the chief mover
in the Yunnan revolution, which de-
feated Yuan Shin Kai's ambition to
become emperor Yuan 10 Ting, the
oldest son Of Yuan Shih Kai, was es-
pecially ambitious for his father to be-
come emperor that he might succeed to
the throne. But practically all the
younger sons were opposed to the mo-
narchical movement. The scroll sent
to Shanghai by Yuan 10 Wen, the sec
ond son Of Yuan Shin Kai, commends
the lamented General Tsai 40 in the
highest terms. It says:
You were model Of the people.
You were the model Of the army.
You were the soul Of the republic.
You were the spirit of liberty.
The American navy took prominent
part in the Tsai 40 funeral services.
The Brooklyn and the other American
warships in Shanghai harbor had their
flags at half staff as the Chinese war
ship bearing the body came into port,
and a detachment Of fifty American
marines marched in the funeral process
sion. Thirty japanese, mostly personal
friends and admirers of the natriOt
also were in the procession.
The Chinese community in Shanghai
was in mourning, and thousands Of
young Chinese, mostly students at
schools and colleges, were in the pro-
cession. The body of General Tsai 40
was taken to his native province of

sGOLDEN CALF" HAS COST
$4,000 In LITIGATION.
Rival Claimants to Animal Engage In
Bitter Legal Warfare.

Denver.-A golden calf will be on
exhibition at the western national live
stock show in this city. 1t is a per-
feet specimen of the Hereford breed.
The calf has a reasonable market
value of about $25 at present. but it al
ready has cost more than $4,000 in
litigation, and the end is not yet in
sight The calf has come to be known
as the golden calf throughout Pitkin
and Garfield counties, where the rival
claimants to the animal live
Born in the spring of 1914, the ques-
ton Of the calf's motherhood arose.
Nobody attempted to guess the identity
of the immediate paternal ancestor.
The docketed case known as Brunton
versus Stapleton has puzzled four ju-
ries without solution of the mystery.
Brunton claims the calf is the daugh-
ter of one of his prize Herefords, while
Stapleton claims the calf is just a
scrub, the daughter of a bobtailed red
COW that he raised on his ranch.
In November, 1914, Brunton went to
Stapleton's ranch and took away three
calves that were with one of his COWS
One of the calves was the golden
calf" The next day Stapleton went to
Rrunton's ranch and took the golden
calf back again. Demand for it's re-
turn was refused, and then Brunton
started the replevin suit. Both claim
ants say they will take the case to the
supreme court.

CONTROL OF PRICES.

Joseph E. Davies Of the federal trade
commission holds that the government
can and ought to control and limit
prices. In an interview by George
Creel in the current number of The
Century Magazine, Mr. Davies position
is stated. He looks with favor on the
Canadian system and thus explains it's
practical working:
On Nov. 10, 1916, the dominion gov
eminent entered an order in council
that struck at the root of the artificial
conditions that jump prices. 1t pro-
vides tn 1t 40 person shall combine or
conspire to limit the production or dis
tribution, or to enhance the price. of
any necessity of life, also that no per-
son shall accumulate, Or withhold from
sale. any necessity of life beyond that
required for the consumption of his
own household or that the ordinary
uses of his business require.
IF such business is commission
business, only so much can be stored as
may reasonably be required, and the
excess must be sold at prices that are
fair and just. The minister of labor is
empowered to procure from all cold
storage, packing or similar plants full
information with reference to quaint
ties held therein, FOR whom held, and
the prices paid therefor. Each munich
pality is clothed with power similarly
to investigate any local combinations
or conditions affecting prices, and it is
up to the attorney general to prosecute.
Violation of the act is felony"
"Warehousing has come to be as i'm
portant as production itself" said Mr.
Davies. LAS an unregulated agency
warehousing is menace. The business
is vested with public interest and it
has got to be brought under public con
troll. Take the case Of that Chicago
man who bought 70 100000 eggs at %
cents a dozen and horded them in
storage until he could exhort SO or 70
cents a dozen. What are you going to
do about it?' he demanded, and his
smiling insolence went UNPUBLISHED. In
Canada he would have been sent to
prison"
Mr. Davies shows that the high prices
are not limited to our country. The
average increase in the price Of food
stuffs in England September 1, 1916,
as compared with July, 1914, was IS
per cent; in Berlin, for the same
period, i was III per cent; in Vienna,
149 per cent; in Norway. II per cent;
and in Canada, Is per cent. In the
United States we now pay $1.54 for
what we got for 81 in 1900.

Power of the President.

In time of war the president of the
United States is actually dictator
There is nothing theoretical about his
place or his powers. He is commander
in chief Of the army and navy. The
members a slis cabinet are responsible
to him personally, not to congress-
None OF them may be removed without
his consent except by impeachment
Moreover, he can suspend the writ OF
habeas corpus and perform oil the 9th
err functions of dictator except order
grants Of money. That is the only real
check upon his powers, and it is a
check that can be exercised only at the
peril of the nation.-NeW York World

WRITE GOOD STuEE.

In an address to journalism students
Governor Phillip recently disparaged
newspaper editorials. He is reported
as speaking from readers standpoint,
and as saying that the value Of the
editorial was growing less and that the
power was being transferred to the
well written news story.
This criticism is one that is quite
current; but it ought not to be accept
ed without qualifications. There are
newspapers and newspapers and there
are readers and readers. Perhaps the
Governor doesn't take very good lot
of newspapers. Perhaps too many of
them are OF the regular Republican
persuasion. The power of the editorial
article has not departed. The number
of newspapers with wholesome, power
full editorial columns is steadily in
creasing; and every year more
and more good citizens take them to
read and to mark and to learn. This
class of newspapers eXerted an immeas
urable power for good in the last pres
idential campaign.
The Democrats unsolicited gratuitous
advice to the journalism students in the
University 5, TO not let any man turn
them aside from the true and laudable
ambition to write good editorial stuff
It will be written, in or out Of college
and those who write it will score with
the country. The ability to do it well is
greatly to be desired. To do it is a jot
worth while

SAVING THE STREAMS.

A staff correspondent reports from
Washington to The Milwaukee Journal
that
Senator Husting has introduced a
bill designed to be substitute for the
Myers water power bill, providing for
the development Of power sites on
government land. The Myers bill has
been criticized by conservationists as
not adequately protecting public rights.
The senate is deadlocked over it and
President Wilson personally has taken
charge.
Senator Hastings bill is in a meas
ure copy of his amendment to the
Shields water power bill last session,
which provided for the development of
water powers on all navigable waters
whether on government land or not.
Senator Husting's amendment was
modelled after the Wisconsin water

when in the state senate.
