Nebraska Drifts Decp

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 9.-Railroads in
Nebraska We're today making strenu-
Gus efforts to resume normal sched-
ules, following night of almost COM
plete tieup. Three trains held in Lin
coin overnight resumed their runs
this morning, following reports that
snow plows had cleared the main
lines of the state. While drifts did not
assume great proportions, plows pre-
Fceded each train. Low Temperatures
were reported throughout the state,
ranging from 20 to 32 below zero over
the McCook division of the Burling-

Hundreds of passengers were de-

STIRRED BY GREAT PARADE
Many Will Think That the Little Man
Was a Trifle Unjust to His
Own Importance.

The swelling roar of cheers outside
made the Little Man drop a paper
weight on his ledger leaves and bolt
to the nearest window, says Golfers
Weekly. Down the street came the
guard of honor, mounted police pre-
ceding some sunburnt regulars from
our Mexican border, and behind them
swung half a company of real French
poiluS. the sort that turned back the
BOche from Verdun and the Chemin
deS Danes. Short, quick stepping,
steel built men of France they We're,
with keen, dark faces under the lOp-
ping tam o. shanter headgear of the
Corps Alpin, rolling along with their
Noah'S Frk packs and bayOnets sci
for action. The cheering actually
seemed to shove the buildings back
from the street. Long ago the Forum
must have welcomed thus the legion
aries who had saved Roman civiliza-
tiOn from the barbarian in those bit
ter struggles through Gaul and Dacia.
Every mans sleeves showed the stripes
that meant wounds, and his breast the
decorations that meant valOr.
"They did make one feel so old and
useless and out of it," as the Little
Man told his wife next morning. So
he ground out the days work with his
teeth set hard, bought some more
thrift stamps, took the first car for
home, spent the rest Of the daylight
hours in caring for his beans, pota'
toes and cabbage, got through a war
fare dinner and put in the evening
selling Mr.. McAdoo's pet bonds tC
some boss metal workers whom HI
had met In the lodge last winter. Get
ting home at 1880 p. m, he routed
out that 1917 model straw hat, cleaned
it up for another campaign, and SOM
time later fell into bed as If it hat
been q dugOut.
"If this gets much worse I'll lear
to knit" was his last waking thought
"and if they want to keep me out o
this war they'll have to put bolts o.
it," After all, things seen are mightie
than things heard, and the Little Ma
and Tennyson are both right.

BUDDHISTS HOLD SPOT HOLY
Famous Pagoda, Built by Hermit, Has
Long Been Visited by Throngs
of Pious Pilgrims,

Sightseeing in Burma is apt to be
one pagOda after another, and at that
the tourist misses most of them. One
that he usually does not see unless he
is especially energetic, or has an in
satiable taste for pagOdas, is the
Kyaik-htO-yO pagOda, one of the most
holy s1cts i'll Burma in the eyes of
the Buddhist Burmese.
The Burmese say that the builder of
this pagoda was a hermit, a theory
which seems probable enough, for it
is built on the top of a steep hill iu
a location which could appeal only to
one of solitary inclination. Even the
crest of the hill must have been too
close to the world for the holy man,
for he located his shrine on Il huge
bOwlder, which may have been steady
enough in his day, but which now
seems ready at any time to slip off
into the valley several thousand feet
below.
Assured by the Burmese guide that
the rock has rested at this critical
angle for many centuries. the visitor,
already breathleSS from the reckless
ascent of a Burmese hill, climbs a
swaying bamboo ladder to view better
the old pagOda. The great rock, with
its shrine forming a tiny pointed cap,
seems even more unsteady from here,
but the guide feels no uneasiness. He
is confident that somewhere below
the pagOda is a lock of Buddha's hair,
and this alone stays the bOwlder from
its fall.
In the early spring pilgrims from all
over Burma journey to this forsaken
spot to place flowers on the rock and
offer their prayers and gifts. Jewels
and other offerings are tossed with an
invocation to Buddha into the chasm
below the rock. AS they leave, they
place lighted candles outside the
shrine and, as they cross the plain II
the evening they can still see tiny
points of flame marking the sacred
spot for other pilgrims who may fol
low them.-ChicagO News.

MURDER TRIAL ELKTON ENDS.
Jury Acquits c. Hal Johnson of the
Murder of Major King.

A jury in the Circuit Court for Cecil
county, Friday, December goth, acquit-
ed Charles H. Johnson, of ElktOn, Md,
the former bank cashier and govern
ment employee at Aberdeen Proving
Ground, of charge of numbering |
Major William r. King, L. S. A. The |
verdict was reached after the jury had |
deliberated for two hours and 80 min |
utes. Two ballots were taken. john
son thanked the jurors and, followed
by many friends, proceeded to the
basement corridor, where he received
congratulations. Counsel concluded
argument, Friday afternoon. While
addressing the jurors Attorney Robin
son said nothing but acquittal would
satisfy the citizens of Cecil and Har-
ford counties. Judge Adkins, pro-
tested, saying the citizens of Cecil
county had no interest in the case, but
Mr.. Robinson contended they had. At
tornev Warburton, in his address for
the defence, told the jurors King had
spied in the bathroom of the johnson
home. at Aberdeen, in which house ne
lodged and was fatally wounded.
King was chief of construction at the
| Aberdeen Proving Ground. He was
shot by johnson, July nth, 1918, and
died the next day. During the trial.
which continued five days, the pro-
secution insinuated King gained the
enmity of persons prominent on the
proving ground by instituting various
reforms there. The defence pictured
King as a man who took the freedom
of the johnson house and was gaming
the affection of JohnsOn's ward. Mrs
Johnson and the ward, however, testl-
fed that King was gentlemanly. John
son told King to leave the house, bu'
he refused to go until his room lease
evn;red During a quarrel betweer
Johnson and King over this refusa
Johnson used vile language, which
King resented. In the scuffle Kint
, grabbed johnson and forced him OF
one knee to the floor. While IN tm
position johnson, who said he though
King would break his neck, drew re
4, volver and shot King. The prose
cution charged wilful murder, and tn
n defence claimed justifable homicide.

CLAIMS CENTURY-0LD FUND
Chilean Government Asks Return of
Unexpended Portion of In
demnity Paid in 1921.

The full bench of the Massachusetts
supreme court has been called upon
to determine the ownership of a fund
nearly a century old, which is claimed
by the commonwealth of Massachu-
setts on one hand and the Chilean gov
ernment on the other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to Boston was seized by
Chilean revOlutiOnists and its cargo
cOnfscated. When normal conditions
prevailed in Chile the United States
demanded indemnity and Chile paid
7O,400.
William H. Gardiner of BrOOkline,
Mass, was selected to distribute the
money among those entitled to 1t. He
executed the trust except as to two
Chinese-knOwn only as Paqua am
MOqua, merchants-and Thomas Fur
ber of Boston. Mr.. Gardiner failed tC
locate these persons or their represen-
tatives. When he died the trust was
transmitted to his son, and upon the
latter's death to the grandson and
great-grandsOn, Robert II. Gardiner
end Robert H. Gardiner, Jr., who are
now its custOdians.
The present holders of the fun(
have searched through the records o
the state department. through the
American consular service at Canton
China, and through various Othe
sources, for the heirs of Paqua, MOqu;

DELAWARE GETS $39O,OOO
ON STATE INCOME TAXES
VALIDITY OF THE LAW WILL BE
TESTED AT JANUARY COURT
Opposition on Constitutional Grounds
May Prevent the State From
Keeping Money, However.

A report from the State Treasurer's
office shows that S39O,OOO have thus
far been received by the income tax
This amount is $4,000 less than the
100000 estimated at the time the law
was passed. Some doubt is expressed
as to the likelihood of the State being
able to retain the money, however, on
account of strong opposition shown
by some of the tax payers to the state
income tax law, on the ground that
that the law is unconstitutional in that
it exempts rents and farm revenues
from payment of the tax. Supporters
of the law say that this does not rem
der the law invalid since the eXemp-
tions while general in appearance
really cover the same exemptions as
those granted to "hOuse owners and
farmers" The validity of the law will
be tested in three cases to be heard at
the January term of the Superior
Court for New Castle county. Suit ir
| these cases has been brought by the
Attorney General against the prOpre
tors of three Wilmington hotels, fOl
failure to pay a state income tax.
