granted. She never saw death; she
quietly fell asleep. When all around
her thought that she was getting

TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY
English Labor Leader Cared Little for
That "Divinity That Doth
Hedge a King"

Kings have no longer any ruling
power in a first-class nation. A little
incident in which the king of England
figured last year may be told in con-
nection with the new spirit of affairs.
The late VIII Crooks, labor member
of parliament, a cockney with big
black beard and devoid Of altches, q
sincere and much loved man, as re-
mote from highbroW socialists as from
hidebound conservatives, was among
the fashionable crowd Of guests at
the royal garden party.
The king got him into conversation.
VIII Crooks talked as freely to his
monarch as he would to a follower in
the East end Of London. Both men
we're soon deep in the troublous times
which were upon England. The king
plainly showed his anxiety about the
future. Will Crooks, who was the
most sympathetic soul in the world,
tried'to reassure the king as they shook
hands in good-by: "Now, look here,
old chap; don't you go worrying about
things; everything is going to turn
out all right, old fellow"
There is cause for a little specula-
lion in what must have been the men.
tai attitude Of the mobiles and dignita-
ries clustered round as they observed
the familiarity. But what the king
thought of it is best expressed by the
fact that before the next garden party
he and the queen together sent spe-
cial letter to Will Crooks and his
wife, saying how much they wanted
Them to be present.-Frank Dilmat in

PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK
Socioiogist Says the Newspapers Make

Every Description

Blame the newspapers for making
the role of the criminal harder today

gy department, University Of Minneso-
ia, according to the Minneapolis News.

If a clever swindle is worked In Mex
leo or Honolulu the news Is on the
wires at once, and the whole world
knows it in couple of hours, and the
little game is killed.
Contrary to general opinion, crime
is not any greater in proportion to
population today than twenty years
ago, according to Mr.. Elmer. 1t Is
just that the number of criminals has
increased with the growth of popula-
ton, he said.
Mr.. Elmer exploded another popular
fancy when he said that he believes
that criminals are not any holder
today than in years past.

Mr.. Barrett has made a success Of

HORSES BRAVE UNDER FIRE
ness Even When Subjected to the
Enemy's Heaviest Barrage.

The noble horse is a very calm ami
eumstances. A remarkable example
Of the GOODNESS displayed by horses
amid the din of war was shown at
the front in France, and the soldiers
who had the opportunity to personally
observe the attitude of the faithful
horse while under shell-fire can realize
what an Indispensable role was played
In the World war by our good old do
nestle friends, Joseph R. Schadel
writes in Our Dumb Animals.
While serving on the front in France
l vas more than once astonished and
impressed by the actions of horses
when the shells began to burst and the
deadly gas spread it's fatal wings over
the field of battle. One night near
Chateau-Thierry, heavy barrage be-
gan to fall in our vicinity, and the
horses, which were also open to the
danger, did not scatter or run. In
stead, three Of Them following the
example Of the soldiers, lay down
promptly and waited until the Smelling
was over. Only one of them was killed,
and that poor fellow had remained
standing
Another time, while moving along
a road that was under enemy observa-
ton, the shells started to burst on
both sides of our column. But the
good old horses plodded on; the great
est bravery was shown, and, FORUM
ately, none was lost. In time, hope,
there will be more space allotted in
history to the excellent part which
horses played in the late war. Only
the highest praise would be their just
dues.
