BIRDS TEETH ARE
 REALLY A REALITY
But Two Such Specimens Have
 Been Found

Lawrence. Kan. May 20.-One of the two specimens in the world of birds teeth was found in the chalk beds of Western Kansas and has been preserved at the Univerity of Kansas museum, according to Prof. H. T. Martin, curator at the museum, who found the specimen. The other speci- men is at the Yale University mus cum. The Kansas fossil is of the Cretaceous period. about 25 million years ago. The teeth are included with the fossil.
 This is the second oldest known type of bird life. according to Pro- lessor Martin. It is the most com plete specimen that has been preserv- ed. The bird was of the Hesperornis family. II was five feet long, has a short vertebrate tail and possessed no wings. It was a marine bird and re- sembled the modern penquin.
 The earliest specimen of bird that has been discovered had teeth" says Professor Martin. This earliest type lived in the Jurasic period. some 30 million years ago, and specimens have been found in the lithographic lime stone beds of Germany. TSs type of bird was about the size of a crow and had sharp. pointed teeth and verte- brae tail longer than the body. like the Dinosaur."
 The specimen preserved at the Uni versity of Kansas is more valuable than the other, according to Professor Martin. because it gives a clear idea of the semi-piumaceous feathery GOV ering which the bird possessed. No

TRIBUTE TO WHITE
Secretary Hughes Says He Will Be Remembered As One of Leading Figures in Supreme Court.

Washington, May 20.-Secretary Hughes commenting upon the death of Chief Justice White said:
 The death of the chief justice re- moves one of our greatest jurists and he will be remembered as one of the leading figures in the history of the supreme court bench. He brought to the bench a broad ex- perience in which he had touched every side of life.
 As an associate justice he had al- ready won a place in the front rank of our judges because of his mental alertness, his extraordinary acumen and his strong grasp of questions of fundamental importance. He per- formed the duties of chief justice with rare skill; he had not only the intellectual power requisite to lead ership, but also the tact and sym pathy which are invaluable in the direction of the work of the court. In his relations with his brethren, with the bar and with all who came into contact with him he showed an unfailing generosity and tenderness. and no public man of our time has been more dearly loved by all who knew him."

THESE WERE AMERICANS.

The cutlery in New Jersey against
naming a school for Gen. Steuben,
Washington's close friend and the
drill sergeant of the revolution, pre-
jsuaposes vast ignorance on the part
of the modern generation. 1t assumes
that Americans are unable to distin-
guisL between Won Steuben and a
Won Mach, says the New York Trib-
une. 1t asperses the fame of a
great American who was born in
Prussia, lived in, France and fought
and died in America. Even though
he swore in German, he fought in
our language. AS instructor general
of the army, he proved himself inval-
liable to Washington. Even his name
has been naturalized. 1t is not Stoy-
ben but Stooben.
Herkimer, Muhlenberg, Sigel,
Schurz-these names and thousands
of others are of good German origin,
but they are also good American
names. To treat them as anathema
is most narrow.

MUST LIVE ACCORDING TO GODS
MORAL LAWS.

Lawrence Hodgson, mayor of St.
Paul, says in the Winnebago Enter
prise that ''amazement is expressed
at the tremendous amount of crime
now rampant; especially that which
involves young boys. But is it sur
prising, after all? Look at the ten
denotes of the last few years How
little OF the old-time moral discipline
do we have in the average American
home? How much genuine spirit of
worship do we have? We have been
leaving God out of our calculations.
We have been trying to get by on a
purely materialistic philosophy. We
have forgotten that the universe is
under moral order. We have lost the
ancient landmarks and set up the rule
of selfishness, and the precepts of
frivolity. We have come to despise
honest toll; to honor the pretenders;
to pay tribute. to vanity. We have
cared more Cor gaudy dress than for
the garments of the soul; to set store
rather by the fashions of society than
by the manners Of the spirit. OF
course, we have crime and scandal
and cheap living. Passing laws will
no.. correct it. We will get back to
health when we become wise enough
to see that Gods law is the only
law; and that the life of the world is
in the soul of man.

LAWS AGAINST PROFANITY.

Did you know that according to the
law of England, swearing is an offense
for which you may be convicted by a
Justice of the peace according to a
scale of penalties? And the higher up
you are in the social scale, the higher
the fine imposed. A day laborer, COM
mon soldier or seaman forfeits one
shilling for every oath; every other
person under the degree of gentleman,
two shillings, and above the degree of
gentleman, five shillings. For a sec
ond offense, it is double the sum; for
a third, triple, etc. At any time, a
constable may arrest a profane swear.
er and take him before justice On
one occasion, man lost his temper
entirely and swore the same oath
twenty times before a justice. The
latter counted them and when the man
had finally stopped, fined him two
shillings for each repetition. There
is similar law in Scotland.

MANS UNCOMFORTABLE SOUL.

To the cynic all heroism is futile.
He sees man sooner or later over.
borne by a relentless and victorious
Fate, no matter how bravely he may
fight, however patiently and persis-
tently he may strive, however stoical'
ly he may endure the stings and ar
rows of outrageous fortune. Yet to
all of us comes at times strange in
ner assurance that no repulse is final;
that we fall to rise again, are baf-
fed to fight better. Walt Whitman
sang paeans not to victorious generals
only, he also honored those who had
gone down in the fight, the defeated
and vanquished persons" And Low,
ellis saying: mot failure, but low aim
is crime" rings responsive in every
true soul.
The function of tragedy is purga-
tive. Aeschylus tells us; "the purifi
cation of the emotions through pity"
But his own tragedies meant more
than that. They pointed the same
great truth which w. E. Henley
voiced with such force in our own
day: the truth Of mans unconquera.
BILE soul; the soul which man cap.
! tains in his mastery of fate. This
theme of the old Greeks, evidently, is
given modern emphasis in Eugene
.O'Neill's new play, "The Straw" His
portrayal of the girl dying with tn.
berculosis, yet radiant with new plans
for happiness, stirs the heart to it's
depths. The highest peak of trag-
edy, after all, is not in death and it's
apparent triumph. 1t is rather in the
often unconscious valor of the last
proud gesture of the captain going
down with his vessel: in the CHEEKY
goodby of John Jacob Astor as he
placed his wife in the lifeboat of the
Titanic.
Happily, instances of this superior
ity of the soul to Fate are not excep-
tional. One might well say that
they are the rule. Every day and in
every community, there are men and
women who hold to the ancient dig
nifty of the race in the face of defeat
and disaster-men and women who
can smile when everything goes
dead wrong" 1t is some dim con-
seriousness of this supremacy of the
soul shown not only in supremely
dramatic crises, but also in the re-
curing troubles and trials of COM
monplace existence, that is our assur.
ance of that something in the inmost
center in us all which makes Fate
powerless to harm us. We know we
are immortal and will go on.

THE PATCHWORK COW.

Pauline and her doll, Deborah, were
going to a lilac tea when they met
Stacy Poole and his patchwork cow.
Everyone called the Poole COW. the
patchwork cow because of her gay
red-and-white coat. She had broken
out of the pasture only a few min
utes ago, and Stacy was driving her
back.
Pauline looked so fine that Stacy
stopped to stare. She had on her
homely old brown gingham, to be
sure, but over 1t she wore long
double string of bright, beads of all
sizes and colors.
Pauline looked pleased. Il found a

What's lilac tear" asked Stacy
as he examined the strings critically.
Look, Pauline; how much win you
take for this big bead?" He put his

Pauline answered quickly. 20 Stacy,

down to chew a fold of Pauline's
dress in a way that pet cows have
AS Pauline pulled away from her she
threw up her head. The long neck
lace caught on one of her sharp horns,
and the string broke with snap that
sent a shower of beads all the way
across the road.

what your cow has done, Stacy! I
haven't a single pretty thing, now to
wear to the lilac tea
Stacy began hurriedly to pick up
the beads. The patchwork COW calm

Stacy said. Look. here's piece Of
string with beads enough on 1t to

He wound the piece Of string round
Deborah's neck, and Pauline smiled
in spite of her grief when she saw
how pretty the beads looked against
the dolls blue dress.
There" she cried. II don't be.
Heve any of the girls ever thought of
necklaces for dolls! If / can find
beads enough, I'll make string for

Stacy was much relieved he said
it was a fine idea, They managed to

wide, hard road. Stacy found the

Pauline.
Now, if you come with me to Nor

And away they went up the road,
and the patchwork cow tagged along
behind.
In Norma's garden, six little girls
with their dolls were gathered round

the shade of some blossoming lilac
bushes. The table was trimmed with
lilacs; in the center was large frost.

"All right" Pauline agreed Then
she turned to the other girls. ''Who

Every girl there wanted one, and
said so at once. They were delighted.

so we must let him help us string
the beads"
They all fell to work with will.
