than 20 years before, that a retiring

other seat mate and successor than the
one whom the fortunes Of politics
had thrust upon him.
Roosevelt alone selected his success

Drum Wears Wound Stripe.

They were gathering in the wounded after one of the battles at Verdun, when they came across a drum that had been shot through the head. It was taken to the hospital and given a new one. In short time it was back at the front, in active service again.
 Now that the war is over the drum has been ordered back to the marine corps camp at Quantico, Va. The regi- ment decided to present it with wound and service stripes-but drum has no sleeves to wear them on. So the four service stripes were attached to one side of its head, and one wound stripe was placed on the other side.- Popular Science Monthly.

The figure represents more-than-life-size Christ bearing the wrappings of the tomb and with the left hand pointing to the open wound in the palm of the right hand. Mir. Epstein says. "The head is not racial head. neither Jew ish nor European, but something of a universal type. What I aimed at is to picture Christ first of all a man. Every man has his own Christ. No one sat as model. The statue must be accepted or refused on its merits" !"

HARDING CONSU[TS THE
. .HUMOR|ST Of FRAN CE ON
in TERNAT AT|ONAL QUESTION

Worcester, Mass, Oct. Ex-senator
Harding's explanation of his remarks
regarding the alleged overtures for a
new association OF nations was rid
iculed here today by Governor Cox
of Ohio, in an address to large
station crowd.
Senator Harding is having a lot Of
trouble, occasioned by his own words
said Governor Cox. think the gen.
tleman consulted was not 4 dlplo-
mat nor a statesman. Here we have
great international question and the
gentleman consulted by Senator Hard
ing was the funny man, the humor-
ist of France"
Governor Cox apparently referred
thor, whom the governor mentioned
in his Buffalo address last night.
Referring TO Senator Hardings state.
ment in today's papers. the Governor
said: IT'S amazing how stupid the
American people are. They just cant
make out the man from Marion"
Just a few days earlier" the gov
tT1lOI fOINlilutus tue StlldkOi tbIl-
planned that n statement by him on
Irish freedom had been misunderstood
and that he did not mean Irish free
dom at all. OF course ii will be rec
ognized that on this subject it will
be more difficult for him to wiggle
and wobble in the face of his official
record as a consistent reactionary ex-
pressing by speech and vote as he
has done what is in his heart On
every possible occasion he had both
spoken and voted against the people
Of self-determination not only for Ire
land, but for every other small coun-
try.
He has voted against every pro-
posal for freedom touching the status
OF every dependency Of imperialistic
government. He has voted against
the resolution expressing the hope
that the British government might
exercise clemency In relation to Irish
political prisoners.
when he extricates himself from
the difficulty OF his blunder with the
French humorist he may return to
the Irish question. especially as the
statement Of his attitude Of dnconcern
there was seized upon by British
journals as quasi-official and was
followed by reprisals against Irish ciu-
zens by the soldiers OF Great Britains
constAbulary.
Senator Harding probably means
well. but his constantly misunderstood
attitude would seem to make him the
Happy Hoolgan' Of American politics,
scarcely fitted for the serious busi-
ness Of the presidency.

spared the suffering that grows out
of disagreement between miners and

the governor "In the western part
Of the state. they have practically
no coal and what's worse, they can't
