 With this introduction a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society continues:

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips.
 Copyrighted 1891
Connected Letters

An interesting character is the man cr woman who writes each word without taking the pen from the paper. and whose letters show a standard of good legfbfity
 First of ar you can make up your mind that such a person has a very practical turn of mind, and is not easily stampeded into nasty action on import ant matters, for keynote to his or her character is prudence and carefulness Such people. when they find they arc getting beyond their depth, become neither reckless nor panic-stricken. They simply halt until they find their foot hold again.
 They are natural reasoners, of the type. who taken othing fer granted, and Ike to know all the why of any sub ject in which they become involved, And as result of this trait they ara very likely to be argumentatBve as well They acceDE little on faith, and though slow to form opinions are likely to be very obstinate in them once they have formed them.
 When you find that the words them selves, as well as the letters within the words are joined by the pen strokes. you may be quite sure that the above characteristics are present in eInpha sig ed degree.

Well may there be much general in fsrlst in the results obtained from the introduction Of cars for operation upon railroads to rendering public service on tas highways and while it has been growing iu popularity it has seriously af- f>ciai the patronage of other transporta- u1I lines The result Is that it is a question whether transportation service along certain established railroad spur nrae shall be abandoned entirely Or the pres=r. s-raw engine ba replaced by eguirmgu, that will have Hanged wheels a-i -HH on inc railroad tracks with gas c.i1. as the motive power.

THE ~GALLows AT GrEvREs.

Ever since the charges were made by. Senator Watson of Georgia about the execution of soldiers in France without the seTnblance of a trial and the prac- tee of cruelties there shas been reason for discrediting them. Nevertheless re- gardless of the denials by the army of- fcials and records than any more than the eleven reported executions took place the Georgia senator has turned a deaf ear 10 anything that would conflict with his version, and so far as has been shown in evidence produced before the committee he has been willing. if not eager, to listen to any and all unsub- stantiated reports that favored his view.
 Somehow he seemed to place much de pendence upon the picture of 9 gallows which he had obtained as evidence to support his contention. Naturally there was interest in knowing all the facts about this galIows which was said to be at Gievres, France since it was possible to make all sorts of clajns about it un- less they could be contryrerted. But it didn't take Major Cowles Of Minneapolis long to recognize the struc- 1 ture once he saw the famous picture. The
 ''gallows" was constructed by order of the major, the uprights and crosspiece being erected for use in unloading gas
 olne tanks.

WALL sTREErs MYsTERY.

It is a year and three months since the country was appalled, by the fright ful Wall street explosion. There have for and efforts have been made to locate those who were responsible. The affair has taxed the efforts of the authorities, Arrests have been made but no prosecu- tions have been attempted and invaria- bly, those who have been detained have been released after short time. What would have been expected to furnish clues to the guilty parties have failed. or at least it has not been possible to get them. although It is to be realized that the authorities are in touch with many inside details about which the gen. eral public knows nothing.
 Nevertheless in spite of the inability to get hold of those involved in the plot there cannot fail to be interest in the claim which is now made by Chief Burns of the department O. justices bureau o! investigation that he expects to be abls to get hold of the perpetrators of that crime and through the arrest of Wolfe i Lindenfeld in Poland to get evidence that l VIII DTedh the Bdch or the Faulcal move ment in the United States forever,
 Both the clearing up of the Wall stree l bombing and the breaking up of the rad ical movement are desirable and it is t be sincerely hoped that Chief Burns | justified in the confidence which he ex presses. There have been other clue which have indicated l~omising result only to fail One is reminded of tn fact that a bird in the hand is wort i two in the bush when it is realized tha the one who is believed to know the req circumstances. although not the one ac cused of the crime, is in far off Poland and 1t remains to be seen what use ca
 be made of the facts gathered from tha source in the running down of the guilt ones as to just how valuable the infor nation is. There can be no other desr than that 1t is in every particular a

be realized that there are many idle ships tied up for lack of cargoes. In this connection. however, it is to be expect ed that the buying of grain here and transporting it will not mean depriving the starving people of the food that is needed. Advantageous use of the mon ey is what is aimed at and it is only natural that any benefit that Is to come from the supplying of such relief should go to the tradesmen of this country.
 From the prompt manner in which the house has disposed of the matter it is to be expected that the senate will give 1t early attention. The amount ot good that can be done will be governed by the speed with which 1t can be gotten to the suffering, realizing of course that this assistance implies in no way recog- nition of the soviet government but sim ply a desire to relieve suffering human ity. And at no time could it better be done than at the Christmas season.
