Oswald, 4 High Soprano,
Sings; Traffic Wrong

Chicago. Ill, Aug. 2s-This is the
story Of Oswald, a red porker, a pig
with a soprano voice and retrousse
nose. Oswald was recently IN transit

press train when fate obligingly

his opportunity for freedom
Squeezing enerEetically, Oswald
quickly found himself in the center
Of Chicago's traffic and thereupon
discovered that he was the fugitive

feurs. policemen and folks too

True centIsness.

True gentleness is founded on sense
Of what we owe to him who made us,
and to the common nature which we
all share. It arises from reflections
on our own failings and wants, and
from just views Of the condition and
duty OF men. 1t is native, feeling
heightened and improved by principle.

JUICE WEAvrR's OPINION

Judge Viewers protest Of waste Of
print paper upon which allegedly com
ic' supplements to Sunday newspapers
are spread in color daubs is both timely
and commendable. There is nothing in
most Of those humorous" aborttons,
neither humor nor art, wit or intor-
nation. The Judges protest might
also be applied to a very large part of
so-called features of Sunday news
papers.
Buying Sunday paper becomes a
habit People buy so-called Sunday
papers printed twenty-tour hours or
more before Sunday. lacking in news
service and practically without news
value. Most Of this class Of Sunday
papers are not even amusing. But we
buy them. Perhaps there springs eter-
nal in the human breast Of the pur-
chaser the hope that some Sunday
some time, he may find news in a
Sunday newspaper.
But the worst feature" among bad
ones, Is the comic supplement. It has
neither class nor taste nor wit nor
humor. 1t Is cheap, often vulgar
atrocity, which should no longer, q
Judge Weaver insists. be granted the
right to spoil print paper and viuate
and destroy the natural GOOD taste and
decent manners OF the average child
A great many people will concur n
the opinion handed down by the Iowa
supreme Judge.

Propho,.'. Box May Be Opened.

The regulations OF few prophets, es-
pecially the more modern variety, have
outlived the alleged prophets them
selves. But the case Of Joanna South
colt is an exception. Joanna has been
dead los years, but today a demand
Is being voiced in England that a mys-
FERROUS box Of prophecies left by her be
opened.
Joanna. herself was a person Of no
little mystery, She rose from hum
BILE servant girl to position as head
of sect Of more than one hundred
thousand, who looked upon her as
sort of feminine Elijah. To this day
she has followers both IN England and
In this country.
The war caused revival OF inter-
set In Joanna because. II was declared
she predicted several of the wars hap
penings. II Is that fact which Is caus-
ing the demand that the long-focked
box containing her prophecies be look
cd into.
At the opening Of the war in 1914
some OF Joanna's followers dipped
back into the writings Of Joanna, who
had been dead exactly 100 years. They
found these sayings:
"Our foes shall become our friends
Cn 1912. when this WAS written, France
and the United States were foes OF
England).
Two monarchs shall plan great
war in which England shall be drawn"
The dangers to England win first
be overhead"
England will be delivered from q
foreign enemy, but the sound of war
will be heard in the land and people
will be killed in their bed"
"Only one nation will be lost to
Europe, and that will be Turkey"
Now. ssy those who believed that
Joanna really was a prophet, those
things all have come to pass. Would
II not be for the good Of the nation
If the box of prophecies be opened and
what the future holds in store be
learned In time to prepare for It?
Joanna came into prominence In
1894.
The unopened box Of prophecies,
which she maintained dealt with the
future of the whole world, was left to
remain unopened until such an action
should be demanded by "a bishops.
Since she generally was repudiated by
churchmen, that occasion never has
arisen. The location OF the box OF
prophecies has been kept a secret for
generations by her followers.-Kansas
