PROSPECTIVE SIZE OF
VICTORY CROWS FAST

'The Republicans have shown full
readiness to meet any issues pre-
sented. When the Democrats first
concentrated upon the League cove
nant without the dotting of an 81
or the crossing of IT, we met them
squarely. When, through their ma
tional chairman, fresh from a con-
ference with their candidates, they
pronounced the covenant only sec
ondary issue after all, we ac-
Quiesced. When the candidates re-
versed their national chairman and
declared the Wilson league the sole
issue, we accepted most readily.
And now when the author of the
League, himself, assumes the real
leadership of their campaign and
joins with the Democratic candidates
in making Article Ten the chief
issue, we agree.

ment, There is nothing in the cove

Mr.. Sidney, we found, had left brief
but explicit directions for his burial.
This, in the case of a man with life
so well conceived, was strange, but
his wishes, as we found them, were
simple and startling. He was to be
buried by the river, close to the pool
which had been invested with the add
ed charm Of ghost-story. His grave
was to be marked by an unostenta-
tious stone. The inscription was to
be as he directed in a note in a sealed
enclosure to be opened at the time
Mrs. Sidney thought appropriate.
1t might be, he had written, that
Mrs. Sidney would not want the stone
erected during her life. Her wishes
were to be consulted. When the grave
was marked, If it ever was, the in

John D. Rockefeller Enters Mean Man
He Once Knew in the Cham

John D. Rockefeller once said to
a New York reporter:
''The poorest way to wealth is the
mean way. In Richford, where I was
born, we had a mean man, very
mean man; yet the fortune he left
was a small-you might say mean
one.
"At a church supper one night this
man cut the corner Of his lip with his
knife. All searched their pocketbooks,
but nobody had any court-plaster.
What was to be done? The cut was
bleeding.
"Finally the parson produced a
two-cent stamp and said:
"sPut this on the cut, squire. It
will stop the hemorrhage, I believe
"aThank you,' said the squire CRATE
fully, and taking out his wallet, he
placed the two-cent stamp in it, ex-
tracing at the same time one-cent
stamp of his own, which he proceeded
to stick on the cut.
"Thank you, parson,' he repeated.

PICTURESQUE RAGS.

"No matter how ragged a refugee
is in Turkey, he always has a patch
of bright color about his clothes,"
writes a Y. w. @. A. secretary from
Harpoot where she has been working
among Arab refugees. 81 have never
seen such rags anywhere but they are
picturesque, being made up Of patches
of as many colors as Joseph's coat

the perceptions start slowly. The
fact that the benignity which so i'm
perceptibly had dominated the house
had ceased to exist took hours to as
sert itself.
Jed was composed when he aroused
me. Later, when the sun came up to
make radiant all the white witchery
the storm left, his sense Of loss began
to assert itself, and acute as was the
grief In the house, none was deeper
seated or more profound than that Of
the rascally old servant.
Mrs. Sidney accepted the event with
a serenity which 1 discovered after
ward was born of long-fxed resolu-
ton. For years her life had been a
denial of her moral instincts-happy,
In spite of that, because of her great
devotion to the wonderful man she
loved. The chapters which he domi-
mated in her book were ended. With
tenderness she laid them aside.
Isobel did not permit herself In
diligence In any weakness. What had
happened was written in the contract
of life. In later full knowledge Of
Isobel, 1 never ceased to admire the
wonderful acceptivity with which she
met her trials. Nothing came to her

CHAPTER XVI,

I shall not pretend to give more
than an idea of the manuscript read
there by the fire that night. It was
narrative and reflection and contained
the story of the life of Arthur Dobson,
known to me heretofore as Mr.. Sid
ney. I shall give extracts from it:
"a family is an odious imposition
Of cruel conventionalities upon indi-
viduals who, accepting conventions,
however odious and cruel, are helpless.
The bond Of blood is one no animal
(animals being rationalistic) tolerates,
even recognizes, but it is imposed up
on human beings, who find that the
most antagonistic natures must rec
oncile themselves to an arbitrary rule
of life which can come only to hide
BUSINESS.
"There were In our family two chill

Our parents were the ordinary folk
who marry and have a family. My
father was an uncommunicative man.

lack of anything to say, 1 do not

ther had destroyed it.

AMERICAN LEGION AND SCOUTS.

From all parts of the country come
reports of Endorsement of the Boy
Scouts of America by the American
Legion. Not only Endorsement, but ac-
tive assistance of many legion posts
in securing scoutmasters, of which
there is urgent need in nearly ev-
cry city. In San Diego, Cal, recent
ly there was an impressive ceremony
typifying the alliance, both friendly
and official, between the two organiza-
tons when the chairman of the Amer
ican Legion convention, Commander
David P. Barrows, presented a stand
of colors to Milton McRae, vice presi-
dent of the Boy Scouts of America,
who received it on behalf of the ma
tiOnal organization.

Will Hays Grows More and More
Confident of Result.

COLUMBUS. - The prospective
size of the Republican majority in
the presidential election is growing
steadily, according to Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, who passed through Co.
lumbus en- route to confer with Sen
ator Harding at Marion.
1.-THE Republicans will certainly
carry all the New England states,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
mia, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Wisconsin, Illinois, and have
a splendid chance to carry Tennes-
see and North Carolina, with the
gain of several congressman in other
southern states," said Hays.
1.-THE Republicans will carry every
thing west of the Mississippi river
except Arkansas, Louisiana and Tex
as. We have a fine chance to carry
Oklahoma, and will certainly carry
the mountain and far-western states.

Scouts Aid in Wreck.

Six knoxville, Tenn, boy scouts re-
turning from camp rushed to the as
sfstance of passengers in a wreck near
Townsend. They proved their pre-
paredness by improvising a stretcher
and taking an injured man from the
wreck to another train. To do this
detour of the debris of a log train
which had colIided had to be made
along a mountain-side, making it nee
essary for the scouts to cut away
brush and briers with their axes and
build stone steps. They transferred
other passengers and the baggage.

SCOUTS TAUGHT ORE HUNTING.

Boy scouts, pupils of the public
schools and of a private academy in
Prescott, Ariz., recently examined the
properties of a mining company near
the city under the guidance Of an old
prospector who taught them rudiments
of ore hunting. Later the pupils COM
peted in an essay contest, using the
subject of mine development, and the
winners were presented with rings,
stick pins and other jewelry made
from gold ore from the properties.
