cousins, are in custody on a charge
of kidnapping.
The cousins tonight confessed to
kidnapping Mrs. Witherell, who is the
wife of O. S. Witherell, investment
company president, and pleaded
guilty to the charge in the superior
court today. Sentence was deferred

The cousins came here three
months ago, Jack" Carr said, and

pairing for revenge" on the father
in-law of Mrs. Witherell, because he

after she was reunited with her
child. Then she suffered a, nervous
collapse.
Through her husband, she gave out
a brief story of her abduction. 1t

RI was getting dinner last Tues
day night-Mother Witherell was
coming over-when he, the man I
learned later was Floyd Carr, same
to the door, saying some one was
calling for me-a woman hurt in an
accident in the boulevard. I had
never seen him before, but thought
my husbands mother had been hurt,
so I went with him.

street. Another man, who I found
out afterwards was Arthur Carr, was
at the wheel. I rode in the back seat
with the one who came to the house.
1--WE turned on the boulevard. I
was wondering how soon we would
get to the scene of the accident.
,"They did not say much and sud-
denly I knew something was wrong.
I tried to jump out, but one of them
grabbed me. I felt wet rag around
my face. I smelled the odor of
choloroform. I struggled as long as
I could. Then I knew nothing.
''I came to just before we reached
the cabin, where they kept me.
''They told me they were after
money. I realized I must wait my
chance to escape. The next day they
let me write to my husband just to
say I was all right. They told me
afterward they sent my letter with
theirs, demanding $4,000 to let me
go.
''No, they did not hurt me. When
they took me out of the house for
fresh air, they blindfolded me. Floyd
Carr was with me most of the time.
They brought me the papers. I did
some of the cooking. was wild

4.h Fairy has been telling me abou
the Star Fairies who watch us al
down here and want to visit US al
night and join in our revels."
"They are very bright little crea-
lures" said the Moonbeam Fairy, but
they are very lonely for you. See.
even the Moonbeam Fairies run down
on the earth at night and they havf
no one up there TO visit.
$50 l stopped on my way home last
night to chat with them awhile and il
was then they asked me If / though
the Queen would take them into her
big family and let them run down the
Moonbeam path with us each night
to the earth"
What 10 you say, my children? 2
asked the Queen. "Shall we welcome
the Star Fairies into our familyY'
"Oh, yes, dear Queen, let them
come" said all the little Fairies, clap
ping their hands and dancing about
their Queen land why not send for
them tonight while the Moonbeam
path is bright and then they will not
trip coming along?"
VERY WELL" said the Queen, tell
the Star Fairies that l will welcome
them for the summer months. That
is when we have our gayest revels."
So the little Moonbeam Fairy has
tened away to tell the lonely little
Star Fairies the good news, and down
they came Pickering and twinkling
with joy over their good fortune.
All this happened a very long, long
time ago, and if you rave any doubt
about this story being a really truly
true one watch the stars smiling up in

and thither during the summer for

Something to
Think Ab0uf
EDISON QUESTIONS
By F. II. WALKER

T HOMAS A. EDISON, who has 6
very low opinion of the intel
~lectuality of the average college
student, has come put with a new
set of questions. historical, political
geographical and scientific.
The Wizard is much too honest q
man for anybody to suggest that he
deliberately got up these posers for
the purpose of humiliating his fellow
citizens.
So it may be admitted hat the
wide ground covered by the queries
represents his own interest In all sorts
of subjects having to do with human
activities.
But 1t Is doubtful whether or not
ability to answer correctly all or most
OF these questions could be any test of
the intelligence of anybody, In col
lege or out of 1t. For intelligence and
knowledge are very different things.
1t was once said of a distinguished
man that he had a larger store of
useless knowledge than anybody of
bis time. Mr.. Edison would not ad-
NIT that any knowledge could be use
less.
In fact he seems to take the atti-
tude Of the late Lord Macaulay who
was In the habit of qualifying a state
h6ent as to something that nobody
knew anything about but himself, by
saying "as every s~choolboy knows"
Az q result "Macaulay's SchoOlboY"
became the proper definition of an In
fsnt prodigy.
Lord Kelvin was one of the most
distinguished men of science of his
time. Addressing his students at
Glasgow University on n occasion
said that the great thing about
the higher mathematics was that it
could be of no possible use to any
body.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-11-24

Yet the fact that Kelvin and 8
couple OF his friends, one In America
and another in Europe, used to
amuse themselves with these useless
Investigations, Is, in a way, an argu-
ment in favor of Mr.. Edison. 1t goes
to show that certain things are worth
while even if no direct advantage is
to be derived from them.
Oid-fashioned schoolmasters were
great believers In the Importance of
facts, and a great part of their time
was passed in getting them into the
minds of the young.
But the modern schoolmaster goes
about his business in a different way.
He does not try to teach facts. He
does try to teach general principles.
1t is like the difference between the
old geography and the new.
The old dealt with the m of
places, rivers, mountains and so on.
The new deals with the effect Of the
physical shape of the earth's surface
on the races scattered over 1t.
A well-trained lawyer is not one
who carries all the cases around with
him in his head. But he does know
how to put his hand on anything he
wants.
In the same way 1t is more i'm
portant to be able to get at your
facts than to know them.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
WHEN TO GO HOME.
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

And often took leave, but was 10th to
depart.-Prior.
TYNE is money to most of us. in
one way or another. Yet many
of us forget to go home-and so
waste a lot Of somebody else's money,
In the guise Of time.
Were you ever in this position? The
maid had gone out for Thursday after
noon, or else there was no maid. A
guest was coming at half-past six.
The dinner was partly prepared
thanks to your desire to be ready for
emergencies. AT half-past five id
would be time to put the meat in the
oven, and at six the vegetables must
go IN. You must in the meantime
dress yourself, and perhaps put a child
to bed, or else help an older one to
dress. A neighbor called at half
past four. You looked thankfully at
the clock, realizing that she could not
stay long enough TO harm your din
ner. But she stayed.
At five you began to be nervous,
thinking of the things yet to be done.
At half-past five, making some excuse
about hearing a knock at the kitchen
door, you scurried put to the kitchen
and put in the meat. Then you sat in
agony, waiting for the caller to take
her departure, and when she did, about
six, you madly dashed down again to
whip the cream for the dessert and
mix the salad, and air the dining room,
and heat the soup, and set the table,
and put things to rights In the living
room, and light the lights and do the
dozen of last-minute things that ought
to have been done in the last hour
not in the last minute.
Most of us have been in some such
predicament, and, remembering this,
it behooves us to remember to 60
home before we nave worn out our
welcome.
This is Just one of the occasions
when a guest should make an early de
parture. There are many others.
A caller on a sick person should al
ways make a short call. unless By
Staying lOl a lolSSi, SDttlutu lilu0,
she can relieve the nurse.
When guests are expected, a caller
should always take her departure
promptly. If unexpected callers ar
rive, the first Corners should go be-
fore many minutes have passed.
II there is illness In the house, a
caller should not keep the members
Of the household very long. Even II
they are not bearing the duties of
nurse, they probably have many calls
on their time.
If your hostess Is going out later in
the afternOon-if you have found out
this to be the case In some chance
manner-you should not keep her in
if she protests that she is In nc
hurry.
Put yourself in the place Of the
on all occasions when you
are wondering whether or not 1t lie
to go home.

THE ~FIREFLIES

n NE night when the fairies came
~ scampering nj to play at the
last sound of the last stroke of
midnight they found their queen talk
ing with a moonbeam fairy.
Instead of joining in the revels as
was her custom, she kept on with her
hat with the little silvery fairy who
seemed to have much to tell her.
All the lettering, skeltering little
winds were tumbling over one another
in a game Of tag with the Dust Fairies,
and the Water Fairies were flying
hither and thither playing at hide and
seek.
But after a while they began to
wonder what the Moonbeam Fairy was

telling the Queen, and when she beck
oned to them, as she did just then,
they ran to her side eager to listen to
what the little visitor was saying.

before how lonely they are"
