"SEDITION."


You cannot salt the eagles tail,
Nor limit thoughts dominion.
You cannot put ideas in Jail;
You can't deport opinion.
II any cause be dross and lies,
Then drag it to the light:
Out in the sunshine evil dies,
But fattens on the Night.
You cannot make. a truth untrue
BY dint of legal fiction.
You cannot prison human view,
You can't convict conviction.
For though by thumbscrew and BY
rack.
By exile and by prison,
Truth has been crushed and palled
in black,
Yet truth has always risen,
You cannot quell a vicious thought
Except that thought be free;
Gag it, and you will find il taught
On. every land and sea.
Truth asks no favor for her blade
Upon the field with Error.
Nor are her converts ever made
By threat of force and terror.
You cannot salt the eagles tail,
Nor limit thoughts dominion.
You cannot put ideas in jail,
You can't deport opinion.

This is a tale of the Arctic seas-of

land-of a mad chase through ice

Christianity over the Shaminism of
Eskimo land.
The story starts with a bang. A
wealthy idler. crossing stretch OF
unfamiliar water in a motor-boat, is
caught in a sudden sQuall and precip-

the Wing and Wing" a vessel COM
manded by the almost fanatical mis-
sionary. Jordan. known to his flock
as the shepherd OF the seas" The
ships crew is composed Of old men.
Moona, the ward of Jordon and also
his betrothed. is the only woman on
the vessel. 4 little maid is she, with
the "thees and thous" of a Quaker
father and the adventurous traits OF
her Eskimo mother.
Follows the cruise. Told in words
of flame and short. concise sentences

the page.
Toward the end, subtly conveyins

Queer Old Maryland Law.

The multiplicity of laws and regula-
tions in the District Of Columbia was
being discussed by a group of lawyers
and laymen. Then the conversation
reverted to some OF the queer old
Maryland laws that were operative
here for a long time. HENRY e.
DAVIS, who is noted as a raconteur
as well as a lawyer. called attention
to a Maryland statute that was en-
forced in the District in the good old
days when terrapin stew was the piece
de resistance on the tables of the
affluent. The statute in question al
lowed a limited number of terrapins
per week for the slaves. but there was
no limit to the number of the tooth
some water tortoises consumed by the
whites. The punishment provided for
violation of this law was fine Of
ten pounds of leaf tobacco for each
offense. At that period tobacco was
accepted as currency in both Maryland
and the District of Columbia.

This city is pennant mad over the
grand showing its club has made and
the attendance is holding up big any
day the sun shines.
The Hoosiers, under their suspended
manager, were not boasting much on
their arrival here, but 1t Is apparent
that yesterdays victory at Columbus
caused their hopes to brighten and they
promised to give the Hens real battle
in the opener this afternoon.
Manager Hendricks stated that he be-
lieved his athletics had finally got the
erratic stuff out of their systems and
said he was confident Of getting an even
split, at least, out Of the Toledo games.
