Hyde Park, N. Y, home, made public

The result Of the election In no
way changes the duty Of this country
10 join with the other nations in the
splendid effort to solve International
difficulties, to end m~ilitarism, and to
avoid future wars for all time," Mr..
Roosevelt added. "a general awak-
ening among the voters Of the coun-

and broad reorganization of the
archaic administrative machinery OF
the government and business meth
DDS Of the congress afford an oppor-
tunity to Senator Harding and Gov.
Coolidge for constructive leadership.
They occupy a strategous position
never In modern times accorded to
an administration, for they combine

Shades Of coIumhusI

II was Discovery day and Gladys
Mccain, stenographer TO Governor
Goodrich and barely out Of her school
dresses, sat languidly In the chief ex-
ecutive's office dreaming of the an
Gent Genoese mariner and his great
adventure.
The telephone bell rang, and to ro-
mantle Gladys II seemed like the very
bells of the good ship Santa Maria.
Mechanically, however, she placed the
receiver TO her ear-and then. with
paled face she excitedly grasped the
telephone with both hands and cried:
whats thati Good heavens, Co
lumbus wants to talk to the COVER
mort"
Brave Frank Litschert, the rover
nor's secretary. rushed to the desk
and seized the receiver. Calmly he
turned to the dreamer and reassur-
ingiy said:

pher. but Columbus, Ind. that wished

PLAY WITH DEATH
Mediums Among Amazon Tribes
Take Long Chances.
Poison Brew Drunk to Induce DELL.
rum Sooner or Later Puts an
End to Their Career.

The original opponents Of spiritual
ism were found among the tribes in
the region around the head waters Of
the Amazon river by early spanish
explorers, and savage seances are still
held there with exactly the same rites
as those witnessed BY the Europeans
so long ago.
The mediums do uot employ rap
pings, table-tipping or the dark cab
met to call up the dead, but their
ceremonies are weird and spectacular
In the extreme.
When a member Of the tribe desires
to talk with a deceased relative or
friend he visits the medium and
states his wish, at the same time max
ing advance payment in the form Of
feathers. The medium requests him
to return at a certain hour the next
night with rs many guests as he cares
TO invite in honor of the departed
spirit.
As soon as the man goes away the
medium builds a fire Of scented
woods, over which he sleeps a decoc-
ton of green herbs. Many of these
herbs are deadly poison, but are so
skillfully mixed In measured quanti-
ties that one acts as an antldote to
the other.
At the appointed time the spiritual
list and his invited guests appear and
seal themselves in a circle around the
fire, but at a respectful distance from
1t. Absolute silence reigns save for
the regular tap of a drum sounded at
intervals by a man stationed in the
deep shadows beyond the fire.
The medium appears hearing aloft
a coconut shell filled with the brew
of herbs. He scatters the glowing fire
to form a ring and steps into the mid
die of II, first laying fragrant green
sticks on the live Goals. Soon clouds
of thick smoke rise and envelop him,
the men around the fire break into q
wild incantation, the drum is furious
ly beaten, and In the midst of the up
roar the medium drinks the poison
and casts the empty cOeOnut shell
among the spectators. Immediately
the chant ceases, the drum is silent
and every eye is fixed on the medium,
dimly visible through the smoke.
The drugs take effect at once; his
eyes roll, his mouth witches, his body
writhes, and unintelligible cries issue
from his lips. These cries are be-
lieved to be the voice of the departed.
The man who has thus caused the
dead to be summoned proceeds to
ask questions Of the spirit.
The spirits are consulted about ev-
erything that happens in the village,
tribal or family quarrels, contem-
journeys, stolen property, even
the planting Of crops, and the frenzied
and cultural utterances of the suffer-
ing medium ~groveling on the ground
In the throes of pain are Interpreted
by the eager listeners as replies.
When the medium finally succumbs
to exhaustion and lies motionless In
the embers Of the sacred fire the as
semblage disperses.
These mediums are regarded with
great fear and respect and WELD more
influence In the tribes than the chief
himself, but the time always comes
when there is too much of one herb
or too little of another In the poison
brew, and then the medium never re-
wives from his stupor.

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
THE SECRET SORROW,


| have sorrow in my breast, a
brother to despair; and I've concluded
ii is best to keep the blamed thing
there. You ask. What is this cork
ing woe, that has your soul capsized?"
But you will never, never know
It wont be advertised. I've found Il
martyr never fails mems sympathy
to shart, as long as he omits details
about his Secret Care. 'Tis best to
merely shed sigh, and sadly wag
ones ears, and carry in ones star
board eye a pair of unshed tears;
and one may spring some cautious
hints about his broken heart; but if
he hands out large blue prints, the
listeners depart. A mystic sorrow,
underlined. its boundaries in doubt, ap-
peals quite strongly to the mind OF
every human scout. Men wonder
what has wrecked your past, destroyed
your fOndest goal, and frozen as with
winter blast, the current of your soul.
And there is pity in their glance when
you they contemplate; you are a fig
ure of romance; a Manfred up to date
But if you tell them you have corns,
they mutter "Shoo!" or "Scat!" For
every honest voter Scorns a sOrdid
woe like that. And so l heave a soul
full sigh, as one who'd fain be dead;
but if you ask the reason why,
merely shake my head.
