The doctor did not expect to be out long when We started, bubt first one and then another Of the neighbors sent for him until it was nearly i've o'clock when we got back. One place necessitated a trip through the woods. Coming to bad mud hole proposed to the doctor that would stay with his car while he walked the remainder of the way It was well that I did for the White family had it's representatives there. You know the Whites, of course. They have a way when they see anything left alone in the woods of taking posses
 sion of it. I soon heard them whist ling and talking to one another and it was not long until I heard brush swish back like they do when you strike one with your foot when walk ing. I thought at first it was the doc- could see no one. Pretty soon I heard one of them make the same kind of noise up in tree close to me and soon he began to signal his family with whistles. You see I guess he

REFORM THE HEADS.

A reforuatory for girls was under
investigation in western city. Among
the charges brought against the s1l-
perintendent, a woman, was systci:1
OF petty espionage, Of drastic and IN
fair punishment for minor offences.
She .was quoted as saying that any
teacher or nlatror who mad no mis-
5emeanos to report at the close Of
sssee-day, On. the part Of the girls IN
-s.u. charge. uiecited suspicion her
:;alf: that it stood to reason that no
s:li in reformatory would let day
so by without some m;sbenav!or.
The teachers through whose ef',-tS
the investigation was brought about
said the chief trouble lay in placing

PICTURES OF SOLDIERS GRAyIs

;
THE latest activity Of Red Cross
forces abroad is taking photographs
Of the graves of the soldiers abroad
aud sending them to their people at
home. It seems. perhaps, like small
thing to do, yet it is truly great
undertaking, for the graves are many
and it is hoped not to miss one.
The photographs will not be very
wonderful-a little mound "a wooden
cross, a wreath. The pictures will be
simple. They will be simply mount
ea. and enclosed with them will be
am anys little details the searchers have
been able to gather about the cir
cuaas.ances Of the soldiers death.
Still they will be infinitely precious
to those who receive them. For no

thiags which comfort the heart.

CONCERNING HORSES AND COWS

Winsted, Conn, famous as the na'
/ tive heath Of natural and uaIatura
history, has been all wrought up late
" over the problem Of why q COW
gets up on her hind feet first, whii5
horse gets up on his front feet frs.
The question was formally submitted
to the local public in an advertise
rnent. Here are some Of the an
swers received and added to Win
sted's long string of geological reve-
lations:
One scientific observer opines that
a COW gets up hind feet first because
she chews her cud, and doesn't want
to swallow the cud. IT would be in
teresting to have this hypothesis
checked by observing how a. man
chewing tobacco would act in similar
circumstances.
Another explains that it is all a
matter of heredity. The first COW
arose h;ndmost first, and COWS
have been getting up that way ever
since" Eut doesn't that leave the ne
cessity CT explaining why the first
COW got up that way?
Again, "a COW cannot bend its
forelegs; a horse cam" Mebby So.
But somehow we seem to remember
having seen cows bend their fore
legs.
y COWS hind legs are stronger
than her fcreless" Eut if they are,
isn't it {. mistake to throw so much
weight on those weak forelegs as the
cow does when she is half way up?
.'All animals with split hoofs get up
hind end first says another natural
ist. .'All animals with undivided
hoofs get up front end first" Why
this is so the editor does not pretend
10 know. And anyhow, farmers
maintain that it isn't so. One farmer
soiemnly AYERS that q hog gets up
front end frst-or if it's a case OF
10 eat. both ends at once.
Coming down specifically to horses:
:" 4 horse" VIC learn, "is used to hav-
.ng a bit put into his mouth. so he
gets up head first to receive the bit"
Very good lDobbin. to be sure! But
Why do the wild ranch horses get up
that way?
On the whole. Ninsted proves dis
appointing. We had u right to ex-
pec1 moro Of her in the eluc;dation
Gi so vital and congenial problem.
surely our own citizens could do no
worse.

KOREA.


Now Japan has her Ireland. Korea
governed by Japan for several yeas
as a protectorate, has revolted. There
has been bloodshed in many cities
and towns. Many Koreans have bee.
killed or wounded. The whole coun-
try is said to be af1ame, Representa-
tives of 100000 people have met
and declared their independence. a
Korean National Association has
been organized to ask the Peace
Conference for the right of seif-:le-
termination, and for the aid OF 4
friendly mandatory" government un-
til the nation can get on it's feet po-
litically.
Korea of all places! 1t is a stri!S-
ing evidence of the extent to which
the spirit Of liberty is spreading over
the world, and the new vigor that
it brings to nations thought hopeless
ly decadent.
The situation is sure to be embar-
RAISING for Japan, just as the Irish
situation is embarrassing for Great
Britain. 1t brings embarrassment,
too, to the Peace Conference, whose
task is already delicate enough.
What will come of it cannot be
foretold is yet. AS to what ought 70
come OF it there can be little cues
ION among those who honestly a2-
cept the basic principles of the peace
settlement, with their logical con!u-
sions.
It seems to Americans self-evident
that any nation willing to strive and
die for independence, and with any
indication of actual or latent capac-
ity for self-sovernment, ought to be
guaranteed its independence, and to
be helped in its political development
rs we are helping the Filipinos. 9th
e7wise these professions Of universal
are nothing but hypocrisy.

LEAGUE PROPAGANDA.

aN NUNeoNsT1TuT1oNAL AMEND
MENT.

- Rhode Island. which was the last
sof the thirteen original States to
ratify the Constitution of the United
states shows characteristic lack OF
taste and enthusiasm about the latest
amendment to the Constitution. She
is disposed to question its validity. A
resolution is pending in the State leg
ss1ature which, if approved, will call
upon the attorney general to bring
suit on behalf of Rhode Island be-
fore the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, asking to have the pro-
hibitIon amendment declared uncon-
stitndona,. e
That amendment has already been
ratified by more than the requisite
number of States, and has been for
s snalE declared a part Of the organic
law OF the nation This seems to ere
ate the odd situation of questioning
* the constitutionality Of the Constitu-
ton Itself. This view, however, real
! ly begs the question, which is wheth-
er the amendment has any right to
be ii the Constitution.

ing so alter the established system Of
government-that the act in ques-
ton is an unwarranted invasion by

The Supreme Court presumably has
power to cast out the amendment if
these grounds of criticism are prov
sed. IL Rhode Island decides toi

HINTS ON "VAMPING"

This is the decalogue Of a New Jer-
sey police court judge who has started
campaign against the vampire:
"1--No man need pine away if a
girl rejects him, because there are five
women to every man in this country.
Women who chase men are in
sale.
"3--That's not the way to get them;
more subtlcty is the thing.
"4-The average man loves his wife
more than anything else in the world; /;
pulling him away is some task.
"5 No woman can accomplish this
unless internal trouble is brewing in
the mans home.
"6--The spectacle Of one woman
suing another for alternating her hus-
bands affections is, indeed, absurd.
Such woman wants the other wo-
mans money, not her own husbands
love.
"7--Did you ever hear of the hus-
band in such case returning to his
wife? That's the answer!
"S Rouge, powder, and lip-sticks
are all right, provided the user is able
to produce an artistic result, meaning,
of course, moderation in all things. I.
A9--Men past So should be settled
down and give up all nonsense.
a10--Sunday baseball--the greatest
snort in the world and the best d.
version for the tired married man"

A Splendid
Improvement

The work of rebuilding the ]. C.
Williams garage building, on the
northwest corner of the square, is go
ing steadily forward, and when the
work is finished the western end Of
that splendid building will be entirely
new for $50 feet. When finished, this
will be one of the largest and best
garage buildings in this part of the
state, being $50 feet in length and 35
feet in width.
The walls Of the rebuilt portion will
be of brick, to match the splendid
structure now occupying the eastern
end Of the lot, and the whole of the
floor will be cement, which is the only
proper floor for a garage. The Lang
Motor Co. will occupy the entire
building, wherein they will install an
other garage, and 1t is safe predic-
tion that when the new occupants open
there for business it will not only be
one of the largest and most attrac-
tive garages to be found anywhere,
but that It will also be one of the best
conducted establishments of it's kind:
This enterprise will convert an old
building, that was far from attractive,
into a real beauty spot, a pride and
delight to that part of the fair city
of Pennington.
