pioneer incident which TeIlecLS SISdt credit on an old lady Beck. I seldom hear or read of anything bad about the Becks. Even the 6-months-old baby Becks are getting blue ribbons, as one took first prize in the baby show at Little Rock last week This old lady lived on the old Jolly place, at or near where Lith Hammons lives now. That was about 100 years ago. A band of Indians made a raid on her. She was in the yard making soap when they surprised her. Did she cream or run? No. She just reached into the kettle of boiling soap with her long-handled gourd and threw it's contents into their faces. While they were getting the hot soap out of their eyes she had no trouble in escaping. A while after that, when the stars fell, there lived in Tennes- see a wicked old infidel by the name of Beck His wife saw that wonder ful phenomena and called to him to get up and look, but he refused. She continued to importune him, saying that the world was coming to an end. Finally he asked her if she could see the North star She answered yes" Well, said he when that falls call me"
 Rare Specimens of Indian Relics, Etc. 
 The past week I received some of the finest specimens 1 have yet re ,ceiyed. One cut out of white oilstone is good representation of a dinosaur, an animal which grew to the length of 50 or 70 feet and was supposed to have lived on the earth before man appeared, but if it is one it proves that man had developed to quite an artist after this animal disappeared. This stone ranks in age and value along with the snakes tail I wrote about last week
 Mildred and Christine Parker. at whose home I spent a night, also gave me few nice relics and their little neighbors, Ophelia and Robert Head, gave me some of the most beau tiful specimens I have yet received, amongst which was a beautiful speci- men of corborundum, showing all the aniline colors. Corborundum was dis covered at Niagara Falls in an at tempt to make artificial diamonds. It could not have been discovered before, because previously it had not been possible to develop sufficient heat. There was beautiful specimen of agate from Colorado or California. and some pretty shells and Indian ar rows.
 Hattie and Jimmie Mccain present ed me some wonderful shells and an agate marble from Panama, brought to them by their brother. In the hope that he will bring me some of his rare specimens am saving val uahle Arkansas garnet for him until his visit this summer
 s. A. Matthews gave me nice col lection also and each of the follow ing three boys gave me the most of anyone on the trip, only to be outdone by the next one; Mack Harrington, Ted Mitchell and Elton Gwin.
 At Wye, on Sunday, June the 27th, Children's Day will be observed and everybody is invited to attend.

 First prize, a valuable gold ring, with an Arkansas garnet set, worth about $2O.

A Study Of Modem France
Robert Dell Interprets French Institutions in
the Spirit of Voltaire

efficient, sort of glorhed Burlesonism.
Mr.. Dell makes the accusations, fl.
milar in this country, about the un-
trustworthiness of politicians and their
dependence upon financial interests. In
this connection he asserts that certain
profiteers, welding undue influence
upon the government, have gravely
hampered the work of reconstruction
in the devastated provinces by shut
ting out foreign goods and forcing the
unfortunate people to buy their own
products at exorbitant prices.
Opposes Colonial Policy
The author shares the typical British
liberals enthusiasm for free trade. He
declares that French protectionist pol
icy, in conjunction with the war, has
greatly increased the cost Of living in
the cities. He also believes that France
should emulate England in establishing
the open door policy for her colonies.
He is inclined to deprecate French CO.
lonial ventures, on the ground that there
is no surplus population for emigration
and that African colonies are likely to
turn out costly and burdensomc expert
ments.
Mr.. Dell would doubtless indorse
Gambetta's phrase, "Clericalism, there
is the enemy" Nothing in French
character appeals to him more than it's
Indifference or aversion to the Church.
He describes enthusiastically the cam
paign of Church disestablishment car
ried out by the combined parties of the
Left. He mentions with appreciation the
fact that, of all the belligerent coun-
tries, France alone officially neither
prayed to God for success nor returned
thanks for victory.
Mr.. Dells insistent rationalism makes
him Indifferent to the emotional values
involved in the war. He favored a
compromise peace in 1917, not because

he was conscious pro-German or
enemy of France, but because he did
not believe that victory would be worth
the price that ultimately was paid for
it. Here, of course, he parts company
with the majority Of the French and
the other Allied peoples and aligns him
self with the small group Of Socialists
and defeatists, of whom M. Cailaux, NJ
Cachin and M. Longuet are representa-
tive. The author. however, is free
from the bigotry Of many dogmatic
Socialists; his views are often uncom-
promisinyly radical. but they are ex-
pressed with sanity and tolerance. His
own intellectual ideal finds excellent
unconscious expression in this adm-
rable analysis of his idol, the smybol OF
French culture, the prophet of the Rev
olution, Voltaire:
The Typical Frenchman
"Voltaire was the typical French
man of the best kind, with the typical
French qualities and weaknesses; only
in his case the qualities were developed
to so rare degree that they obscured
the weaknesses. nationalist, skeptical,
even cynical-if it be cynical to see
things as they are-he was at the same
time intensely affectionate and his
benevolence was almost unlimited. He
had passion for justice and spent half
his life, at constant risk to himself, in
defending the victims of injustice; only
his marvellous ingenuity enabled him
to escape the risks that he ran. His
immense tolerance was perhaps the
result of his cynicism, for, after all,
what is called a cynical view of human
nature leads to tolerant and benevo-
lent attitude. 1t is those who expect
too much of human nature that are Sc
we're on themselves and their fellow
creatures. Beware Of a man who is
hard on himself, says Anatole France
he may hit you by mistake. Voltaire' s
tolerance finds its highest expression
in the famous sentence Of his letter to
Helvetius:
"T wholly disapprove of what you
say and will defend to the death your
right to say IT."

- v --s0- eHI Oh - ne LONDON DAILY
News" at the peace confer
ence, sets down his impressions of
that historic gathering in The Peace
in the Making" (Dutton). Mr.. Harris's
book is much shorter, less pretentious,
less full of anecdotes and less con-
Trajectory than DR.. billions. 1t is
less controversial than Mr.. Keynes's.
AS rule, the author is reporter first
and critic second.
Mr.. Harris is a middle-of- the-road
man. He is not entirely satisfied with
the peace, but feels that it was per-
haps the best obtainable under the
circumstances. He mitigates his criti-
cism Of some of its terms By observing
that the league of nations will be an
instrument for softening and revising
them. He is consistent supporter
Of President Wilson.
1ndorsing the fourteen points pro-
gram, he believes that Mr.. Wilson was
right in sacrificing its complete achieve
ment in order to restore peace to Eu-
rope. Mr.. Harris does not seem very
familiar with American political senti-
ment and nowhere anticipates the VOL
ume of opposition to the league and
the treaty in their present form which
has developed in the United States
Senate
The authors sharpest criticism of
the Allied governments is directed
against their handling Of the Russian
situation. He is convinced that the
Prinkipo, Bullitt and Nansen plans all
presented excellent opportunities for
the restoration of peace and commercial
intercourse between Russia and the rest
of the world.
AS regards the final terms Of the
settlement he is mildly critical He
feels that it was a mistake for the
Allies to exceed their original stipu-
lation, under the armistice terms, of
eXactlng from Germans only the cost
Of the damage actually inflicted by the
Teutonic armed forces by including
separation and pension allowances in
Germany's PREPARATION bill. The mere
collection of damages, in his opinion
will tax Germany's capacity to pay to
the utmost.
The author has no description of Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Lloyd George and NJ. Gle
menceau to be compared with Mr..
Keynes's classic historical chapter,
when the Big Four Met" He does,
however, relate several more or less
apocryphal anecdotes of the confer
ence and he indicates the general line
along which English, French and Amer
lean policies were directed
AS rule Mr.. Wilson was most lenient
and M. Clemenceau was most severe in
discussions of the terms to be imposed
upon the Central Powers; while Mr..
Lloyd George played the part of a some
what vacillating mediator. There was
one notable exception to this general
rule. Mr.. Lloyd George was more hos
tile to Poland's aspirations than Mr..
Wilson. 1t was due chiefly to the atti-
tude of the British Premier that two
million Germans were prevented from
coming under Polish rule.
Mr.. Harris's book does not aim or
pretend to be detailed history of the
work of the peace conference, with its

Men Who Disappear
The Mystery of a Double
Tragedy
" HERE is an atmosphere of genu-

THERE is an atmosphere of genu-
inc horror about Richard Wash
burn Child's novel, "The Vanish
ing Men" (Dutton). Brena Selcoss, the
heroine, has been loved by two men.
And both have disappeared, literally
vanished from the face of the earth.
One went suddenly, leaving behind only
one myterious clew. The other married
Brena and lived on for several years,
often overtaken by an ecstasy of fear.
Again and again he dropped hints of
some impending CHASTITY terror. And
finally he, too, went--and left no trace
behind.
This is the grim story that Brena
Selcoss tells to Peter De Wolfe, the red
blooded American army officer who has
fallen in love with hcr. Of course, the
idea of danger only strengthens his love.
He determines to get at the bottom Of
the mystery, to remove the horror from
Brena's life forever. And so he inves-
tigates all the facts about Mr.. Compton
Parmalee, Brena's second lover. Parma
lee has concealed the secret Of his per-
petual terror we'll; but De Wolfe finally
picks up a trail that leads to a New
Mexican desert. And there the double
tragedy Is revealed
Mr.. Child handles his ingenious plot
very effectively. To his story Of van
fishing men he communicates some of the
haunting, shivery quality of Stevenson's
"The Wrecker." He keeps the secret of
his ending unusually we'll. An ordinary
mystery begins to assume definite shape
about the halfway stage, but it will take

~ N THE title page Of Robert
Dcll's book, "My Second Coun-
try (France)," published by
John Lane, appears the fol
lowing quotation from Anatole France:
LA France de voltaire ct de Monies
quieu-cella-la est la grande, la vraie
France"
Mr.. Dell's loyalty is pledged to his
conception Of this great, true France"
Of Voltaire and Montesqueu. His
sweeping and sometimes bitter criti-
cisms Of existing French political and
economic institutions probably will i'm
press conservative readers as harsh
and unjust. But ignorance, the most
frequent cause Of national hatreds and
prejudices, cannot be laid to the &C
count of Mr.. Dell. He knows Frances
past through enthusiastic study of its
revolutionary historical traditions; he
knows modern France we'll by long res
idence. And he has come to love and
respect the French people by living
among them. His first chapter is
comparison of the French with the Eng
fish, much to the disadvantage Of the
latter. He sees in the French more joy
Of living, higher level of culture and
intelligence, more genuine democratic
spirit.
Points Out Defects
At the same time he assumes the lib
erty Of friend in pointing out what
he conceives to be certain defects in
the French national character. Ava
rice, in his opinion, is their besetting
sin. The immense number of individ
uals who live off small unearned in
comes tend to bring about class legisla
ton and makes the lot of the wage
Garner more difficult. The unwillingness
Of the average business man or investor
to take chances has seriously hindcred
Frances Development as an industrial
nation.
On the whole, however, the author is
more severe on the French government
than on the French people. Despite it's
republican institutions, France is gov
erened by a centralized, monarchial
form of administration, he says, hand
ed down, with slight changes, from Ma
poleon I. There is little local auton-
omy; authority is concentrated in top
heavy fashion in the hands of certain
ministers. He cites many personal ex-
periences to show that the French
bureaucracy is both arbitrary and in
