ASKS ARMS FOR HOME GUARDS.
To Suppress Radical Element Is tho
Plan Of Senator.

Washington, Oct. pa bill
issue rifles, pistols and machine guns
to the States for home guard de-
fense was introduced to-day by Sem
ntor Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,
\ who SAID such protection is neces-,
snry aga, ,lsl radical elements.
Periodicals edited by unwige
neegro editors ana Boishevists are
advocating such doctrines as might
encourage the thoughtless elements
to threaten the peace and safety of
many peoples" said the Senator. cit
is to guard against any attempt upon
the part Of these dangerous elements
that the law-abiding white people
should take precautionary steps to
protect themselves and their COM
munities. l know Of no better way
than the organization of home
guards, and the government can
render great service by equipping
them with these surplus rifles, pis-
tolls and machine guns and other ma
terial to guard against any such at
tempts.
"In the present circumstances, un-
der the law there is no way for the
government to furnish these weap-
Ons, and I have introduced the bill
in the belief not only that it will
pass, but that it may be Of i'm
measurable benefit to many peoples
and many localities"

walk nonchalantly toward her and be
surprised to meet her.
Steve had no real reason for believ-
Ing that she cared for him. He was
aware that some six or eight students
were reported to have proposed to her
and been rejected during the last three
years, but he was willing to take q
chance on being the seventh or the
ninth, or even the thirteenth.
Steve knew that his red head and
freckles didn't 5lbe with her creamy
complexion and black hair, but he was
not to blame for the contrast.

had been at any time since his initia-

perately for words, then got grip
on himself and let it out with:
Hazel, I'm not going to beat about
tho bush. I'm not capable Of pouring
out sentimental gush and crawling on
my knees, but want to marry you,
and hope this Is not so sudden that
you can't decide my fate here and
now"
She laughed lightly and placed her
hand over his as 1t rested on the fence
and replied:
I'm glad you're not capable Of SEN
timental gush.' because I'm rather
tired OF, 1t myself. like the way you

bling brooks and TIL admit care a
lot for you, but J. can't answer now.
First I must have proof that you are
the kind Of fellow would marry and
thet you really care as much as you
say. But I am not saying 'no'-just
remember that"
The next day he received q letter
from her. It read:
Dear Steve-Remembering what
you told mo yesterday am giving you
chance to prove your affection. To
morrow Clifton meets Alton for the
state college baseball championship.
My cousin. VIII Forbes, will pitch for
Alton, and in letter I just received
ho told me that 1t means everything
for him to win the game, as he ex-
poets to try for a professional league.
Heres your chance to prove that
you love mo. IF the opportunity Of
fers to miss ball or strike out at a
critical point Of the game and you can
help Alton to win you surely can prove
beyond doubt that you care as you say
you do"
Tho letter stunned poor Steve, with
hjs heart eating itself out for Hazel
and tho rest Of him all wrapped up in
tho national game. Steve would RAJ
thcr play baseball than anything else in
tn" world except have Hazel for a
wife. Then, too, his love for his alma
mater was strong, and his regard for
honor aDd fair play was stronger.

Her eyes glistened unnaturally, and
ono big tear started down each cheek.

her voice when she said:

COMING CHANGES IN JAPAN
Many Symptoms That Revolution,
Probably Peaceful, Is Due in Land
of Chrysanthemum.

In the kingdom of the Chrysanthe-
mum there are symptoms which cause
observers to pause. All over the coun-
try small groups are forming-not of
labor men-but Of intellectuals-of
students with fair admixture Of the
middle and even of the upper classes.
There is something coming in Japan
a great change-no man yet quite
knows when it will come or whittier it
will gO-sOme call it revolution others
restoration. Another symptom is the
attitude of the Japanese woman. The
Japanese woman is thinking and act
ing; did she not start the rice riots
one year ago? Religious movements
have been started within the last so
years with Japanese wOmen-women
of the peOple-at their head These
movements have millions of adherents.
Then outside of KyOto what is that
growing cOnglomeration of buildings?
Actually a city of refuge to which Jap
anese of all classes are coming, sell
ing their possessions and coming-ex-
traordinary as it may sound-as to a
sanctuary in provision of the times to
CONF. In the midst of the city is a
strengthening structure built in read
mess for the emperor. Much may hap
pen in Japan, but there is nothing to
show that ties 30 centuries Old-be-
tween sovereign and people-will snap.
The bonds are religious, far more than
political, and the revolution or restor-
alton to come is economic, not con.

This was one of their first reasons for
seriously considering the establish

Doctor Carson, the head of the in
stitution, is an enthusiast for the far
reaching, civilizing effects accomplish
ed by such institutions as Stony
Brook. He had a practical hand in
the beginnings at Mortified, where
ne used to sweep out the cottage of
Mrs Dwight L. Moody, and also at
WlnOna Lake, Ind, where he was so
early on the ground that he had to
sleep in an old corn crib pending the
construction of new buildings. Doc
tor Carson is a forceful and agrees

lieves that the success of the nation
depends upon the American people's

Passers-By

How many tales of human veal and
woe, of glory and of humiliation, could
be told by those beings whom In pass
ing we regard not Unvalued as they
are by as, how many as good as our
selves repose upon them the affections
Of bounteous hearts, and would not
want them for any earthly compensa-
ton. Every one of these persons, In
all probability, retains in his bosom
the cherished recollections OF early
happy days, spent in some scene which
'they ne'er forget, though there they
are forgot" with friends and fellows
who, though now far removed in dis
lance and in fortune, are never to be
given up by the heart. Every one Of
these individuals, In all probability,
nurses still deeper in the recesses OF
feeling the remembrance of that chap
ter of romance in the life of every
man, an early earnest attachment, con-
ceived in the fervor of youth, un-
stained by the slightest thought Of self,
and for the time purifying and elevat-

Siberia Burial
Place of MammOthS That
Were Victims of Climate

In the region of the Lena delta, in
TAR northern Siberia. there is a gigan-
tic species of mole which, burrowing
underground dies If by chance ex-
posed to light. 1t has enormous tusks.
and the half-savage nomads of the
country sometimes use strips Of its
thick hide for reindeer harness.
Truth to tell. the "mole" is the long
extinct mammoth, and the last sur
viving specimen persisted long before
the earliest dawn Of human history,
says a writer in Philadelphia Ledger.
Indeed, it may very well be that 100000
years have passed since the youngest
mammoth walked the earth.
In their day these huge animals
roamed in herds all over northern
Siberia, where the climate was mild
and salubriOus. But there came a sud-
den change and Jack Frost established
reign in that part of the world. The
mammoths, huddled in valleys, were
overwhelmed by snowdrifts, which
hardened to solid ice, preserving their
bodies intact even to the present time.
Now and then the hot sun of the
short arctic summer melts out and re-
veals to view one of the great carcasses
the meat still fresh enough to be
fed to dogs. The eyeballs of one speci-
men found on the Tas river, between
the Obi and the Yenesei, were as per-
feet as if the animal had been killed
only day or two earlier.

say those things and to pity the
dearest girl in the world"
Helen dried her tears. She was
hurt, and she knew what Mrs. Trav-
ers said was true, but how dared she
speak that way and how humiliating
for poor Bruce.
Bruce, you have never given any
one reason to pity me. Don't say
that. And, even if Mrs. Travers did
suspect, she doesn't belong here. AS
you know, Mrs. Warren is my dear
est friend, and have no doubt that
if you had heard the rest of their

Mrs. Warren telling her, kindly but
firmly, that she knew us to be the
happiest of couples, and that she
just imagined those things. Mrs.
Warren never speaks unkindly Of any
one, nor let's a chance go by to
say something nice about one when

Bruce lifted his head. ''WeH,
