a single iota Of good. 1t is the en-
forcement of laws that count. Would
passage of Socialistic laws help? It
could not! More production and rea-
sonabfe patience aided by time will
turn the trick" declared O'Brien.
"The period of unrest is something
like the man who goes home, stacks
the furniture, gives the wife black
eye and expects to wake up the next
morning with an amiable wife across
the table and be served with ham and
eggs. America helped stack the furni-
ture Of the Kaiser, exhausted the
larder of the United States and must
be satisfied with bread and butter un-
til the chickens begin to lay.
An American Greed.
In closing, o'Brien, repeated this
pledge: | am an American, God willing.
I will carve out my future with these
two hands and this brain. / stand on
my own feet and win success. If l
fail or fall behind in this race of life,
/ seek no alibi in the character of my
environment, the economic system of
the form of government. I carry no
red flag of bitterness and sedition |
fight forward whining not, clear eyed
and independent" Generous applause)

EX- GEAR REAL JOY KILLER
Little Wonder Princess Didn't Enjoy Wearing Ring After Hearing That
 Gruesonie Anecdote.

Ex-Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria al- ways had a great fondness for rings, and his delicate, tapering fingers usu- ally were loaded with rare jewals. A Russian princess who was guest of Ferdinand at a dinner in Sophia once admired especially ring that he wore "a pearl surrounded by rubies.
 "That ring pleases you?" asked Fer dinand, who had noticed her interest in 1t. And then, in the naughty tone which was his wont, he added: "A tear encircled by drops of blood. Per- init me to put it on your finger"
 Leaning toward her, he continued, nonchalantly
 Ut is a gift that has just been sent to me by one of the most notorious bandits on the Bulgarian frontier, a truly remarkable man. He 1t is who holds the record for the number of hands he has cut off his victims. have no doubt that he got this ring from a finger just as charming as yours."
 The princess turned pale and Ferdi- hand continued:
 But don't be disturbed. madame. This ring which 1 have the honor of offering you was given to me without the finger"
 The princess never knew whether the ear was serious or whether he was trying to confuse her. She nev- CT wore the ring.

GOT WRONG MAN THAT TIME
When They Tried to "Smoke Out" Young kentucklan.

Tom Honan, former attorney gen. eral of Indiana, was talking of his col lege days at Indiana university. He recalled, with a laugh, how the seniors used to smoke out" the freshmen in the good old days.
 "The big idea was," said MT. Ho- nan, "for five or six. or perhaps dozen seniors, to coDgregate in the room of a freshman and smoke pipes until the smoke made him sick. Usually the fellow selected for the smoking out process was one of these moliycoddle youngsters who had not long been divorced from his mothers apron strings.
 "One time we selected a long, lean Kentucky boy. One by one we dropped in, lighted our pipes and began the game. Kentucky fired up his pipe too. and the evening wore on. The smoke grew heavier with each pass ing half-hour. Not a window was up, not door open. Along about eleven o'clock two or three seniors disap- peared. They had been shipwrecked. Finally the tobacco began running out, much to the pleasure of several of us. But Kentuck smoked on.
 "At last one of us remarked to Ken tuck that we'd have to go, as our to- bacco had run out.
 "'No. don't go,' Kentuck insisted. I've got lot more tobacco. Lawdy, I couldn't think O comin' way up nawth heah without some good to- bacco.'
 "Kentuck opened his trunk. One end of 1t was jammed with old Ken lucky long green tobacco We tore out. We had picked on the wrong bird."- Indianapolis News.

Mir. Haberdasher.

The evening meal was almost over and the table conversation had turned to discussion of high prices.
 q know a haberdasher on Pennsyl- vania street that is selling his stock at half price," volunteered a young member of the family.
 "Your uncle knows that man real we'll" said grandmother, between sips of tea.
 What man are you speaking off" queried mother, bit puzzled.
 "Why, that Mir. Haberdasher," re- turned grandmother, with an air of in- nocence.
 Grandmother is still to be convinced that Mir. Haberdasher is not his name, for hadn't she read it with her own eyes some place up over the door?- Indianapolis News.

In the Matter of Quoting Proverbs Small Boy May Be Said to Have
 Scored on Uncle.

Old Uncle Arthur was visiting his given to the repeating of proverbs, especially to small Bobby on his com hitting any misdemeanor. Now Uncle Arthur himself was not free of vices and Bobby certainly hoped that some day something would give a chance to retort at his great uncle. Finally his chance came.
 The family was at the dinner table when Bobby arrived home from school. Being very hungry he rushed straight to the table. The first thing Uncle Ar thur did was to give him long, searching look, which showed him the dirty little hands Bobby had neglected to wash. Bobby" he began impress sively, q see you've forgotten that old proverb which says: Cleanliness Is next to godliness.'"
 The family looked embarrassed. But not Uncle Arthur. He felt that he had done his duty and he majestically lift ed his cup ofNcoffee and took a long. loud gulp of that beverage. That gulp brought Bobby his chance. Yes I had forgotten that one, Uncle Arthur" he said sweetly, "but remembered the one that said Drink slowly and dis tinctly.'"
 Even Uncle Arthur was too much surprised to tell Bob that he had made slight mistake in the quotation. But they all did think 1t mighty fitting.

During the last half of the year 1917 we exported glassware for the first time in our history and for 1918 our total production was valued at $2,S65,- TIA, more than double what we used when we had to buy it abroad. At the present time glass is imported duty free if It is to be employed for educational purposes; and the state of the domestic glass industry is so good that congress Is being urged to withdraw this preference.

ID ECAUSE the drama OF history.
- like that Of the theater, must
have its heroes and villains, James
Buchanan has been painted all black
In the opening scene Of the Civil war,
loaded down with all the weaknesses
and sins Of his generation and BAN
ished forever into the wilderness. Any
one can see now, with the aid Of hind
sight, what Buchanan should have
done, but not what he could have done.
The North itself. in the bewildering
winter of 1S6O-61 was far from
agreed that secession could or should
be stopped by force. LET the Union
slide." the abolitionists said. "Let the
erring brethren Co." said Horace Gree
ley. "Wayward sisters, depart in
peace" General Scott would have said
to the seeding states.
In common with the politicians Of
his fast vanishing time Buchanan
clung to the idea that freedom rather
than slavery was to blame for all the
trouble. He had not gone with Doug
las and the northern wing Of the d.
vided Democrats In the campaign Of
1850, but had sided with the southern
ers and voted for Breckenridge.

front Of him and behind him a country
as irresolute as himself. AS he saw
the Union falling to pieces he hoped
on that 1t could be patched together
again by another old-fashioned com.

southern members Of his cabinet who
were staying in Washington only to
ship federal war supplies south and
to aid In the preparations for destroy.
Ing the government.
Edwin M. Stanton Of Ohio, although
himself a Breckenridge Democrat
bluntly warned Buchanan: "You are
sleeping on a volcano. The ground is
mined all around and under you and
ready to explode. and without prompt
and energetic action you will be the
last president of the United States"
"Mr. Stanton" pleaded the feeble
old man, ''for Gods sake come in and
help me-"
The first day that Stanton took his
seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he
told the secretary Of war, Floyd Of
Virginia, that he fought to be hanged
on gallows higher than Haman's" fer
having ordered Major Anderson, with.
out the knowledge Of the president,
to stay in a defenseless old fort at
Charleston harbor instead Of trans.
ferring himself to Fort Sumter, as the
major had done In defiance OF orders
Before the middle Of January the
cabinet was reorganized md Buchanan
was surrounded by stanch Union men,
who swept him along at a pace which
sometimes left him breathless. The
new secretary Of the treasury, John A
Dix, quietly reported one day that he
had sent to New Orleans his now
famous message: "If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag shoot him on the spot"
"Did you write such letter as
that7" Buchanan exclaimed.
mo" Dix replied, "I telegraphed It."
Had Buchanan been q man Of iron
instead of putty, probably he could
have done no good in that chaotic
interregnum between the election and
inauguration Of his successor. If he
had taken any step which should. have
hastened Virginia and Maryland into
revolt there would have been no ma.
tional capital on March 4, 1851. The
retiring president would only have
made heavier, perhaps impossible, the
task which he wearily laid upon
stoutar soul when he transferred the
presidency to Lincoln and sadly tot
tered into the shadows.

EXILE WILL RETURN HOME

Ell Paso, July1.-After an exile of 7
years, Alberto Terranzas, son of Gen.
Luis Terranzas, once one of Chihua-
hau's wealthiest men, is preparing to
return to Mexico and attempt to re-
stock the Terrazas ranches in an eff
fort to recoup the family fortune.
At conference here Senior Terrazas
was assured by an official of the new
regime that the family would be given
every protection by the de facto gov
ernment if they desired to regain pos
session of extensive lands from which
they were driven by revolutionists in
1913. 1t is said that the Terazzas
lands in Chihuahua cover millions of
acres, and thousands of cattle were
confiscated or stolen from them during
the early days Of the revolution.

JAMES BUCHANAN was the last
y president to wrap his neck in a
stock. as Monroe was the last to wear
knee-breeches-and he was the last
Of an era. An age passed away as
he passed out Of the White House.
After Buchanan's birth at a Penn
sylvania log cabin. his father, who
was an Irish immigrant, prospered as
country storekeeper and was able
to send his son to college. But the
college sent him back as a wild spirit
that 1t could not tame. The pastor
Of the scandalized family begged and
obtained a chance for the wayward
youth, who improved 1t so we'll that
he graduated first in his class. Never
theless, the still unforgiving faculty
denied him the honors Of his rank.
This would be but a dull story Of
law and politics were it not for q
single tragic episode which cast a
shadow over the whole after life Of
our bachelor president, the only presi-
dent to die a bachelor. A young wom-
an, to whom Buchanan was engaged
In early manhood. daughter of the
wealthiest family in the county. wrote
him a letter Of dismissal under the
spell Of jealousy which had been
aroused by gossips. Pride on both

sides kept the two apart until their
separation was made irrevocable by
her sudden death-probably by sui.
eide. In grief and horror, the young
lover wrote to the father of the dead
girl, begging the privilege Of looking
upon her remains and Of following
them to the grave. But the letter was
returned to him unopened.
-Four and forty years passed, and
Buchanan went to his grave without
ever having taken any other woman
to his heart. When his executors
opened the papers, which the aged
e1-president had left in a bank vault,
they found among them G little pack
ct or treasured love letters from his
sweetheart Of long ago. But In ac-
cordance with the request written on
the outside, those faded mementoea
Of his only love were burned without
breaking the seal on them.
Buchanan was by no means a crab
bed old bachelor. He remained al
ways most courteously attentive to
women, though with q perfect impair
tiality. Nor did he keep bachelors
hall. At Wheatland, his country place
near Lancaster, Pa, he brought up,
from early childhood, the orphaned
son Of one Of his sisters and the
orphaned daughter Of another, who
became, as Miss Harriet Lane, one
OF the most admired mistresses Of the
White House.
After Buchanan had risen to top
rank at the Pennsylvania bar, with q
practice that brought him as much
as $4,000 In year, he entered poll
tics. Starting as a Federalist, he be-
came Democrat only at the death
OF the party Of his first choice. He
was elected to the legislature and to
congress; was thrice elected to the
senate; served as minister to Russia
and Great Britain and was secretary
of state In Folks cabinet.
For 20 years an unsuccessful cam
didate for the presidential nomina-
tion, the veteran politician had all
but given up hope when at last 1t
came to him unsought in 1856 on his
return from long absence as Ameri-
can minister in London. AS he ac-
cepted 1t, he sighed that the honor had
been denied him until he was too old
to enjoy 1t, "when all the friends ]
loved and wanted to reward are dead
and I'll lhe enemies I hated and had
marked for punishynent are turned my
friends"
