[ CARDINAL MERGERS DEFIANCE TO HUNS
 IS BEING RECALLED
Visit of the Noted Prelate tc America is Causing His Life To Be Reviewed
 Again

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Belgium' S beloved spiritual prince, guardian of the welfare of 2,500 Roman Catholics in the little kingdom whose first fierce resistance stayed the German avalanche, Cardinal Desideratus Mer- cier. who is now in America, was born on November P, 1851, in Brainc d'Alleud, a village only few miles from famous Waterloo.
 Typical of the heroism of King Albert's countrymen. this physically frail but intellectually powerful pre- late of the church stirred the whole world to admiration of his courage when. on the first war Christmas, in 1914, with Germans everywhere in Belgium, he issued his famous pas toral letter. denouncng the invader and urging his people to resist in these words:
 Germany violated her oath We can neither number our dead nor compute the meaesure of our ruins. Occupied provinces are not con. querred provinces. The authority of the invader is no lawful authority. Therefore, in soul and in conscience you owe it neither respect, attach ment nor obedience"
 Later, in protesting against the de portation of the Belgians for forced labor he threatened Germany with the reproduction of the civilized world, the judgment of history and the chastisement of God" -,,
 Fifteen thousand copies of the Cardinals letter were seized and de stroyed, the printer was arrested and fined and the brave priest was hDpt a prisoner in his palace by order Of General von Bissing until retrac- ton of the pastoral nnd been signed. y The Cardinal not only refused to re- tract his statements but became even more defiant.
 He was given his liberty, finally. and continued to use his voice and pen against the mailed fist" in chrys tallizng world opinion against the Central powers. All during the war however, he was subjected to petty and his secretary and other aides were thrown into Jail. He went through the bombardments Of Antwerp and Malines and braved the perils of the common soldier.

When They Wooed and Won
By EDWARD BLACK.

We have with US today Frank S.
Howell, as shown by the accom-
panying perturbation which was
taken when he had finished his first
score of the years which are allotted
to the life Of man. He spent the
halcyon days of youth way down in
Georgia, where the southern sun
kisses the watermelon and where
chivalry is taught in the kinder
garten. He migrated to the corn
belt at an early age. and he has been
here ever since.
Mr.. Howell lived on a plantation
along the Chattahoochee river in the
Old Dominion, and on another plan
tation, about FIVE miles away, lived
a young woman whose father oper-
ated a ferry On bright spring
day, when the thoughts of young
men and women lightly turned to
affairs of the heart, the young folks
of Mr.. Howelps community went
down to the river to witness a me-
gro baptizing party. On this oc-
casion Mr.. Howell met a particular
young woman who seemed to him to
be quite different from the rest She
was the best looking girl of the
crowd, but at first did not take
kindly to the attentions of Mr..
Howell, who knew that she knew
that it was up to him to act the
part Of a cavalier. Another young
man was setting his cap for her, so
Mr.. Howell lost no time.
Known Her for Years.
He had known this young woman
for years. but not until the occasion
81 the negro baptizing had she APP
peared quite so interesting to him.
Time went on, just as it always has
gone on, and Mr.. Howell went away
from the old southland to make
his mark ine-the great west. He
settled in Nebraska and was admit
ted to the bar in Ord during 1884
Then he went back to Georgia to
tell her that he was a full-hedged
lawyer. He FIRST went to her ia
Their down at the ferry. The father
was busy helping moonshiners get
their wagons across the river, so
Mr.. Howell helped with the work.
Up to Daughter.
4 have made up my mind to ap-
ply for admission to your family,
he saidsto her father. He addressed
his prospective father-in-law just as
Il he would address a rvurt. The
father appeared to be disguised, re-
plying that It was none of his BUSH
ness; that Il was up to his daughter
and Mr. Howell as to whether the
latter should be admitted to the

IS Hens Laid s. Eggs
on Warm Day Following
Last Weeks Cold Spell

Poultry raisers have never been
unanimous relative to the effect that
early warm spring weather has upon
the ability of hens to lay. Some
have commended that the springtime
is regulation period for hens to get
busy and do their best in the egg
laying line. Others have contended
that warm weather is conducive to
egg laying and that hens will abund-
antly furnish eggs, regardless OF the
season, provided weather conditions
are right.
B. H. Scott. living out on the
Florence boulevard, east of Miller
park, is strong advocate of the last
named theory. Mr.. Scott raises
chickens as a sort of side line.
Raising chickens. besides letting his
mind run to fries, he gives some at
tention to eggs. Thus he keeps tab
on what his hens axe doing. Here is
what Mr.. Scott says:
by giving the proper food and
the proper attention, during all the
good weather of early last, winter,
my As hens averaged Is eggs a day.
Then the cold days of early last
week came on and the egg yield
suddenly dropped nearly so per
cent. This continued several days
and there was no change in the
number of eggs laid until there was
a change in the weather. For two
days after the weather commenced
to warm up, / could not see that we
were getting any more eggs than
during the time when the weather
was the coolest. Then came a
warm day and change. Hens that
had refrained from laying could
hardly wait until they found nest

seems impossible, am willing to

Stevens Teroriizes
Music Box; Milking
is Out Of His Line

In the vernacular, Edwin G. Stew
ems, organist at the Sun theater, is
some wizard on the worries. Bounc-
ing on the bench, his feet controll-
ing deep basso notes and his ten
fingers playing havoc with the 264
keys, Ed can compose unwritten
harmony out of anything from the
scale to "When It's Hay Fever
Time, I'll Meet You. Adenoids."
But not until t'other day did Ed
know that he was taken as milk
man.
An unkept dairyman sat behind
the organist in the theater for three
full hours, awestruck at the fantas-
tic deaf-and-dumb action OF Eds
digits. When the organist left the
theater, old Abe followed.
"Yeh kin raise hell wild tibet music

Ed.

"An / wuz thinkin' -"

tort.
"Waal, tibet yu cud also raise hell

But Ed impressed upon the dairy
profiteer that milking was out Of
his line, and, financially, he would
rather pounce on the organ.
