PARIS, Aug. 26.-Contrary to ru-
mors that persistently have been cir
culated in Paris ever since the armis-
tice was signed, IL is now possible to
state authoritatively that Marshal
Foch will not be a candidate for the
presidency Of France next year.
President Poincare's term Of office.
which began in 1913, will expire in
February. His successor will be elect
ed by the national assembly Cthe
Senate and Chamber Of Deputies sit
| ting jointly at Versailles.
Marshal Foch as president of the
republic would be popular with the
people, but would upset political lines.
The marshal himself is averse to poll
tics and gets his chief pleasure living
quietly on his farm with his grand
children.
DesehaHeI Looms Strong.
Students of political conditions be-
lieve NJ. Poincare's successor most
likely will be Paul DeschaneI, presi-
dent Of the Chamber of Deputies. N.
Deschanel is married to an American
girl "a former Miss Brice), so IL he
goes to the Elysee Palace, as is ex-
pected. France will have an American
''presidentess" for the first time.
Other presidential possibilities that
nave loomed Up lately are N. Potn-
care for a second term, Premier Glenn
enceau, and Antin Dubost. NJ. Poin-
care has announced that he will not
be candidate for reelection, al
though he will get back in political
life in the Senate NJ. Clemenceau as
war premier Is one thing, but II.
Clemenceau at the Elysee Palace is
another, and 1t is doubtful If he could
obtain a majority at Versailles. Aside
from the fact that he is a strong
man" Of the type banned by modern
ideals, he Is too old, 1t is stated. The
best reason for dismissing him from
consideration is his own unwilling
ness to run. NJ. Dubost also is con-
sidered too old.

years old last grass; born and raised
right here In Shagbark township, and
hain't been outside of the county but
once. That was when / was about 30
years old. / went over to Torpidville,
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute l got to
town, for something or nuther, / never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready in the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some Teller
came running and hollered that they
were making q mistake-I wasn't the
guilty party a-tall. AS soon as they
turned me bose I lit out for home as
the crow flies, and l hain't done no
travelling to speak Of since. I always
fggered that ON the next occasion the
Teller that knowed it was a mistake
might not get there in time to do me
any good."-Judge.

KANSAS MAN LIVES ON CORN
1t Was Ten Years Ago and the
Court Pronounced Him
Feeble Minded.

Burlington, Kan.-Several weeks ago
a complaint was filed in the probate
court alleging that E. A. Whitley was
feeble-minded and asking that a
guardian be appointed. This was done.
The guardian held a public sale to dis
pose of the personal property of the
estate which consisted largely of sew
eral hundred bushels of corn which
had been cribbed from eight to eleven
years. 1t was fine grain when 1t was
cribbed, but the rats and weeyil had
worked on it. 1t was sold at a big
discount.
This corn had been Whitley's prin-
cipal article of diet for a number Of
years; he lived alone and would grind
the corr in an old coffee mill and make
mush Of it. He said there was no
food with as much %nourishment. He
insisted that the planets" predicted
there would be no more crops for years.
He wanted to keep this grain.

BLIND MAN POULTRY FANCIER
Missourian Has Made Success of the
Work, Despite Handicap Wrich
Would Seem Insurmountabie.

Blind Edward Jones of Jefferson
City, Mo, has made a record in keep
ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not equaled. Moving among
his birds, which seem to understand
how he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense of touch, he per-
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has Matched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are mar.
keted as broilers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.
He is now trying to organize a poultry
club for blind people, and the home
demonstration agent in the county
has volunteered to read to the mem.
bers the publications on poultry sent
from the United States department Of
agriculture.

They went to the meeting room, and
saw a trap door, through which one
gained the roof. They asked the jam

the roof. He had seen George Crotz-
man there.
The police arrested him. They found
a "talcum powder chamois'' and $9.5S
in his pockets, and after a time he
admitted he had stolen the purse. He
had thrown the pocketbook down the
chimney.
