What He Did and Why He Did 1t
While President

No President was so villifed and
had to bear greater problems, and no
other President settled greater inter
national problems than Woodrow Viii
son.
No President was so vilified and
bounded for doing things, because
they affected financial interests and
personal ambitions.
The reasons why President Wilson
did things as he did will be told in
the New York Times, beginning on
Sunday, October 80, and continue
every day in the week for 81 days. 1t
will be told by J.. P. Tumulty, for ten

 Dale rose and glared at By Heck.
 I'm going to have the truth, By; now get that. Did you. or did you not, kill Adam Ball to save me?''
 By Heck realized that he would have to be very cunning if lie eyaded the question now. Bill Dale, his god, would not be put off longer.
 So By Heck answered: T Wisht l may drap dead this minute and turn into a cross-eyed mink with q green tail and pink eyes: I wisht the devil may take me and spend ten thousand etarnities a-stieking' red-h0t, pepper coated pitchforks in me and not let me have any tobacker; wisht I may be struck blind and deef and dumb and paralyzed and ha' my tongue cut out and my ears and toe-nails tore off-ef I killed Adam Ball to save you or anybody else"
 And then, having answered, he flaw ored Dale with an odd look, took up his rifle and strode out of the office humming:
 When 1 die, don't bury noe deep Put no tombstone at my head and feet Put bears jawbone in my right

Confession.


 If the impulsiye, fighting Bill Dale could have heard across the interven- ing miles the conversation that took place in his old home the next evening, he would probably have followed Ben Littleford's daughter by the next train if he had had to hold it up at the point of an honest blue gun in order to get aboard it.
 John K. Dale and his wife had gone into the library with Elizabeth at her request. The tliree sat down facing each other. The younger woman was Hi at ease; she was glad that the lights were subdued and soft. When the silence had become heavy, she straight ened in her chair and blurted out fal- teringly:
 Bill asked me to m-mar'y him. and I wouldn't do 1t. I-I thought maybe I-I ought to tell you"
 The Dales exchanged glances; then they looked back at Elizabeth Little ford. Dale smiled q fatherly smile Mrs. Dale's eyes narrowed. The old

Gladstone Explains His First Budget.
 We owe to the late duke of Argyll an account of the cabinet meeting in 1853 at which Mir. Gladstone. then for ty-three years of age, explained the proposals of the first of his series of famous budgets. 'He came into the room, writes the duke, with a large fiat, shallow official box. very old and shabby, covered with drab-colored leather. He sat on chair nearly fronting the window, whilst we all sat in kind of loop around him. Open- ing the box on his knee, so that its lid stood upright and afforded rest for any paper placed upon it's edge, he he. gan conversational exposition, which endured, without a moments in.errnn- tion. for more than three hours" The speech in which Mir. Gladstone laid this budget before the house lasted close upon five hours.

 You do, don't you, Babe?'
 eYes. she told him, in voice that he barely heard.
 ''Then why won't you marry mel"
 She didn't answer. She wouldn't answer.
 .
 The day of the trial dawned clear, with the snap of autumn in the air. The courthouse was filled to its capacity within fifteen minutes after the doors were thrown open. Every man who had rifle was forced to leave 1t behind with the sheriff's depu- ties; company of the states militia was there, and each member of it had il hundred rounds of ball cartridges ill his belt--the authorities were taking no chances.
 Amid breathless hush, the wheels of the law began to move. Caleb More iand quickly told what he had to say, and backed it up with proof; he brought out perfect alibi. The judge and the jury drowned and smiled in the same instant. Dale went for ward and took his place. He pleaded Not Guilty A little later the state introduced It's evidence and rested.
 The counsel for the defense, patri- cian and soldier-lille, immaculate from his toes to the crown of his head, weat eagerly to his feet, He had fully prepared himself. and he delivered his argument with an eloquent and force ful swing. It was plain that the jury was favorably impressed by the words of this man who never accepted q case unless he was absolutely sure that his client was in the right.
 Major Bradley hinged his argument on the mysterious third shot. If nale's bullet had killed Adam Ball, would not Adam Ball have been shot squarely or at least nearly squarely from the front2 As it was, the Goliath had been shot straight through the temples! That third shot had been fired by somo hidden friend of Dale's, the major de. clared. and it had been done for the purpose of saving Dale's life. Ball had been in tae act of playing cow ardly trick; he had killed man in North Carolina by just such trick and he had toasted of it.
 The attorney for the state made a rejoinder that almost favored the de fendant. Then the court charged the jury, and the twelve good men retired
 The jury was out not more than twenty minutes, but to Elizabeth Lit tleford it was an age Of torture.

DEPORTATION FOR vIyIANI?

Justice Cohalan. a well-known Irish
American leader, at a mass meeting in
New York attacked the French mission
now in this country, together with
French and British representatives in
general, saying:
Let Mr. Viyiani and his French as
sociates. let the spokesman whom Eng
land is to send here, be notified by pub
lie opinion that America will not tOler-
ate any interference with her interests. -
He declared that Americans must put
an end to the invasion of our country
by propagandists of all kinds
1t has not occurred to most Americans
that the mission headed by Viviani offers
any menace to American institutions.
America was proud to cooperate with
France during the war. and is not at all
inclined to quit cooperation now in any
matters of mutual concern. But sup
posing that the New York jurist were
taken at his word and ''propagandists of
all kinds" were barred from the United
States. If Viviani were expelled. what
would happen to Donal O'Callaghan.
