He read IL and read IL again. The
clear and simple style delighted him.
When he had finished it the second time
he took up his pen and wrote 10 the au-
thor, telling him how much he apDl p
ciated the book and adding the hope
that he would write many more stories
equally good.
He hall hoped that the author would
acknowledge the receipt OF this tribute,

HOW FALL BEGINS.

This is the way the fall begins
A bugle of beauty upon the hin,
A tingle all over your self of pins,
A touch of the magic thrill
A strange, dear light when the moon is low,
A mist that floats like an elin veil
And over the forest banner of glow,
Like a fairy ship with purple sail.
The sound of an AK in the old oak lot,
A hurrying in of the logs 10 dry;
The couch she'll on the old whatnot
Breathing mournful sigh,
The squirrel in the hickory by the door
Swift as an arrow from limb to limb
The river ripple of rainbow floor
Where the ancient dolphins swim.
The winesaps cleaning like globes of red
In the orchard, smeAlng like vine
When the first sweet toast to the world was
said
And a new love was thine.
The pippins just mellow, the Bartlett
pears
Blushing like school girls, and down the
lane
The chicken grapes and the rabbit lairs
And the katydids refrain.
Chinauapins with open burrs--
And persimmons ready to drop;
A partridge suddenly drums as he whirrs,
And you listen and want to stop.
Delicious sense In your nose and mouth
OF ripeness and honey and mellowing
things,
And the unseen bird hosts journeying
south,
And Joy in the heart that sil gs
Baltimore Sun.

U. S. COURT ORDERS
Continued from page

Judge Anderson action WAS the result
of resignation on October of Mr.. Simms,
who was in charge of the prosecution OF
the I25 miners and operators indicted
March II last, for violation Of the Lever
act.
They were indicted by n special grand
jury convened by JudgeAnderson, Deem
Der IL. 1919, for the purpose OF making sn
investigation of the conduct OF the miners
strike IN the bltuminous fields last No
vember and Of any possible coliuslon be-
tween the miners and operators IN con-
nection with the strike.
Mr.. Simms explanation of his resigna-
tion was that .Attorney-General Palmer
has imposed the limitations on the con-
duct OF the case that literally cut the
heart out of the case.
The difference between the attorney
general and Mr.. Simms Is said 10 have
grown out of disagree ement as to use OF
evidence in the case against the miners
and operators Following Mr.. Slmms res
ignation and explanation the attorney
general expressed surprise at bis action and
said:
"The only thing | can think OF in the
wav Of instructions IN regard to presenta-
tion OF evidence is the understanding that
was had when these prosecutions we're
begun Just previously TO that time Judge
Anderson had issued an injun ction against
the strike of the United States Mine Work
ers and afterward instituted contempt
proceedings against officials OF the union
for alleged violation OF his restraining
order The contempt proceedings were
dropped after an understanding with the
mine workers and part OF this understand
ing was that the evidence contained In the
bill OF equity on which the injunction was
based should not be used against the men
That agreement was reached aud was
understood by Mr.. Simms together with
L. Ert Slack our special assistant in those
cases. in the presence of Judge Anderson
himself | insisted that evidence IN the
strike injunction proceedings should not
be used against the men because 1t would
have had the effect of placing them twice IN
jeopardy for the same ofiense.
MIR Simms well understood that this
evidence was not to be used. There Is
nothing new about it, ! can hardly CON
ceive that he is resigning because OF that.
My idea is that he just wants To quit
Judge Anderson and officials here con-
nected with the prosecution of the case
have expressed no opinion in regard to the
presentation of evidence. 1t is understood,
however, that Judge Anderson merely
consented that the contempt of court pro-
ceedings brought against the miners be
abated inasmuch as the men on strike had
returned to work and also q grand jury
was TO be summoned to investigate all
transactions of the miners and operators.
