Unfortunate Apology.

paper in Kansas was asked to leave
the community as the result of typo

wedding of the mayors daughter, re-
Iates Pep. After exhausting his sup

The mayor demanded correction
and apology in the next weeks issue,
all of which the editor was glad to
promise. The next issue contained:

WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD
likina for Large Range Of Foods %
Desirable for Diet and Best
Table Manners;

A meal In which all the important
kinds Of food are represented tends to
keep the child in good condition and
to give him good habits OF eating,
food specialists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture say. The
liking for large range Of foods Is
desirable from the standpoint OF diet
and also of manners, for 1t helps to
prevent a person from becoming dis
agreeable table companion-one who
Is s.fussy" about his food. Meals that
are planned carefully help also to
give the child some little idea OF
what those who know most about
foods have in mind when they speak
of 'balanced"-or. better, rightly
chosen"-ration. With children 1t Is
far more important to suggest the
value OF stlch ration by the charac-
ter of the meals given to them than
to try to tell them what 1t is or to
what extent it has been worked out,

MANS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Writer Denounces the "Life Imprison-
ment" Which Confinement in Zoo
logical Garden Means.

"Purely as a matter of ethics, aboh-
ton is the ultimate logic of all ZOO
logical gardens" Such is the opinion
of a writer in the Nation of London.
animals have committed no crimes
against the community" he says, land
therefore the community has no right
whatever to give them life sentences
of imprisonment" A very few of the
larger animals, he admits, may affect
human life injuriously, but they form
an infnitesimal portion of the inhabi-
tants of a geological garden. ON the
other hand, it is argued that we never
thought of combining those animals De-
lieved to be the most injurious, namely
insects-and therefore it is plain that
"the punishment does not fit the
crime"
Even if it were granted that animals
are happier in captivity than in their
native wilds, this can only be meant
| relatively, for though protected ana
| cared for, animals in captivity are de-
MED the primal joys of liberty and fit
ness to environment, among such JOBS
being their power of exercising their
suppleness of body or strength of wing
in graceful movements, and not least
of all joys. the power of satisfying
| their continual curiosity.
Much has been done for animals, and
much more might be done for the WHO
birds. For the eagles, hawks, condors
and vuItures the writer feels that
nothing can be done. He quotes from
that great lover of birds, w. w. Hud-
son, to whom the sight of any bird In
cage, be it robin redbreast or bird
unknown to William Blake, literally
sets him in a rage. He has some
where described a sermon he heard on
genius, in which the preacher likeneo
the life of the ordinary person to that
of the canary in its cage. But of the
genius-"A cloud came over his 1.-THE

himself up and swayed his body from

which seemed to express rage and de

Danish newspaper, Hunger" placed |
Hamsun in the first rank of Scandi-
navian authors. His novel OF the
same title, Hunger" made him WORTH
famous. The mastery ana impress
i've analysis of the human soul III
Hunger" is characteristic Of all OF
Hamsun'S writings.
His great success and fame not
withstanding, Knut Hamsun con-
tinues to live solitary life; ne oiu
not care for honors. When his tifti-
eth birthday was celebrated through
out Norway and the Norwegians
rhapsodized over him as the greatest
living poet" Hamsun retired to a hut
| in the forest near Gulbrandstal.
When he had reason to assume that
his admirers would find him there he
went further north to the Hamsun
farm, where he lived when a little
child. From there he issued his en-
ergetic Honor to the Young" coming
out for youth against age, in defiance
Of the accepted theory of the superb
ority of the old.
That he himself had not aged he
proved by his novel, "A Wanderer
lsPlays With the Sardine." Subse-
quently he wrote the wonderful satire
of the drama, "Gotten by the Devil"
which showed that the high quality
Of his own dramatic creations was
not adversely Influenced by his con-
tempt Of dramatic art and technique.
His other dramatic trilogy Eat the
Door Of the Wealthy" "Queen Ia.
mara" (his best drama), and "Munken
vendt" Gan impressive picture Of the
life of debauched theologian)-is
powerful.
Still better are Hamsun's novels
among them Mysteries" editor
Lange" and the love story "Pan." AL
these writings are strange mixtur,
of rude realism, dreamy mysticism
and impulsive sentiment. On the on
] hand Hamsun lets loose the reins o
phantasy and introduces us to
' world of wonderfully dear dreams
+ on the other hand, he is a cold criti
of the human soul, who exposes tn
weak side of modern life with pene

aStOnished.
Some old-time Chicago residents OF

they seem to think in those days
that it was spelt with three letters.
"Why, sure, l knew him; l kne"

at-the-elbows lad; he was very poor.
No, he had no money. That was IN
the early eighties, when he came 10
Chicago after working as plowboy
on the virgin North Dakota prairies.
He got a job as conductor on the old
| HaIsted street line. The horses pulled
the cars then. And, my, it was cold

And so disaster befell Conductor
Knut Hamsun. The Halsted street
horse-car was not for him. He couldn't
remember the streets. On pilgrimages
down the line he used to call Out
North avenue" for division street.
One day an old lacy asked Hamsuf

And so the superintendent Of tn
