clash with Mrs. Smith the year before
when she had tried to deprive me OF
half the sum she had promised me for
my first lecture. They knew that IL
Mrs. Smiths narrow and vindictive
mind regretted one thing more. than
another, 1t was her introduction Of ME
to the Lotus Study club, but the coupl-
ing OF her name with mine in the vote
of thanks made it impossible for her
to resent either openly or secretly the
voting of the resolution by any wom-
an present.
OF course, Mrs. Taymore knew Mrs.
Smith was fully aware that her motive
in making such a motion was to heap
as much Chagrin as possible upon the
head Of the august secretary of the
Lotus club.
I could have laughed aloud at Mrs.
Smiths face as she heard the resolu-
ton, but there was absolutely moth
ing that she could do, save sit still
and try to smile.
When the rabbit-Iike president put
the motion every woman IN the hall
voted Aye, and I could hear sup
pressed giggles from some OF the
younger and more irreverent members
in the back rows.
did 1 avenge you?" whispered Mrs.
Taymore mischieveously to me when
the meeting was over.
"Gloriously," whispered back.
Thank you SO much.
You can always count on me-" she
said, giving my hand a little squeeze,
and l felt all my annoyance at Mrs.
Smiths pettiness vanish into thin air.
You must have had long session,
my mother-in commented, acidly,
when l finally arrived at the room
which we had taken for her in the
Sydenham hotel.

hat and suit l am going to wear on
the boat tomorrow" ! returned quietly.
You remember 1 had this hat sent To
Lillians from the shop. and went o*er
there to get It before l went TO the
club meeting today"
I'll bet you made those old frumps
over there look like a collection OF
hand-me- downs, Dicky put in from
the chair in which he was tilted back
comfortably. That sky piece is GER
tainly a winner.
Whether because Of his natural love
for teasing. or because my work with
the Lotus Study club really annoys
him as much as he pretends Il does,
Dicky loses no opportunity to belittle
the women of the club before whom
talk each Wednesday. But never
need to answer mis- structures when
they are made in the presence of his
mother. 1t is the one subject on which
she is invariably sure to side with
me against Dicky.

BY ADELE (

Upon the face of one woman in par
ticular, Mrs. Taymore, there was a
look so expressive that it seemed al
most as if she We're speaking. OF all
the women I had met in the club, I
liked Mrs. Taymore the best. She did
not have as much wealth as did Mrs.
Smith, but Of brains and tact and abil-
ity she possessed much more than the
really considerable amount Of those
qualities belonging to Mrs. Smith. She
was the only woman in the club whom
1 had ever seen differ from Mrs. Smith
on any important question.

that Mrs. Taymore intended doing
something, I did not know what, to
register her disapproval Of Mrs.
Smiths rudeness. Her expressive face.
with it's mutinous eyes, appeared to be
saying to me: Just wait; this Incl
| dent has not been ended yet"
The knowledge of her sympathy and
that of the other women braced me.
When I had finished my lecture and
sat down, 1 had the pleasant con-
seriousness that had never spoken to
better advantage. The burst of en-

my final words confirmed my own
opinion. 1t had hardly subsidized when
| Mrs. Taymore sprang to her feet.
= Fellow members of the Lotus Study
club, she began, II think you will all
agree with me that we have never
spent a more enjoyable and instruc-
tive study afternoon than the one just

should mark our appreciation of It in
some other way than by our applause.
Il therefore move you, Madam Pres
ident, that a vote of thanks to Mrs.
Graham for her excellent beginning of
this years work, and to Mrs. Helen
Brainard Smith, who first learned of
Mrs. Graham's work and secured her
for us, be spread upon the records"
She sat down, evidently trying hard
to control a smile. The woman sit

friend of hers, whose voice was rare

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM G. BARTON
GOD SPEED YOU, WOODROW
VIII SON

l have called quite unOfficially this
evening, Mr.. Wilson, to say to you
that if the American people knew of
any way in which to bid you courte-
Gus farewell and GOdspeed without
pretending that they were sorry for
what they did to you in November,
they would like to do it.
They welcome the coming guest, and
have been known to speed the part
ing occupant of the executive man
sion by metaphoricaIly kicking him
down the steps.
They grinned behind the broad back
of William Howard Taft as he disap-
peared down the White House walk on
the day you entered, eight years ago;
and he was a good loser. and has
shown himself In these eight years a
man aud gentleman.
You will have to excuse the Ameri-
can people, Mr.. Wilson, for a certain
brusqueness in such matters. We shall
learn better manners some day.
I have not come to apologize for the
elections, nor TO say that the Amer
|ican people are sorry you are leaving.
They think you have made grave mis-
takes; I have not come TO discuss
them.
But The American people, including
those who voted against YOU, are not
oblivious to the pathetic aspects Of

your departure from the White House,
and you are leaving with their sincere
desire for your comfort in your re-
manning years.
You are planning to write a history
of your administration. want to sub
scribe for a copy of it, and to wish
you joy in it's preparation. Do not, if
may advise you, spend too much ink
in trying to explain. Just tell us the
story of it as you know it. You will
tell it in good English, pounding it
out on your typewriter, and 1 hope you
can use both hands.
You went down from Jerusalem to
Versailles, and fell among thieves. Tell
US the true story OF. it; the American
people will believe you, and will APP
preciate a little better the difficulties
of your situation.
One noble thing you did in that try
ing situation, you rebuked the schem-
ing plots of other nations with your
own and Americas idealism.
People smile at you, Mr.. Wilson, for
your ideaIism. Let them smile. Amer
lea, her pretense to the contrary not
withstanding, is a nation of idealists.
The historian will laud you for that
very idealism.
When your country went TO war,
you were able to define her purpose in
terms of conscience and duty. You did
it superbly, Mr.. Wilson; no other man
on this side of the ocean could have
done it so we'll, and no man on the
other side could have done it at all.
Your country is proud Of the way
you did it, and will be still more proud
of it a hundred years hence.
This is your last night in the White
House, Mr.. Wilson, and you have some
packing to finish, and I will not pro-
long this call.
You are likely to rest better tonight
than Mr. Harding; and in the next
four years there will be nights when
you will stop writing and go to bed
at 10 o'clock, when he will be awake
and considerably worried. May God
help him, and give him the guidance
of wise and good men.
And may you have quiet and hap
py years ahead.
The American people bid you a
friendly Good Night.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Out into the sunlight crawled Nancy
and Nick through a small door in the
roof of the cave of diamonds which the
goat showed them, leaving the box OF
charms and their map behind.
aren't you coming, too?" asked
Nancy, turning to the big green bull
frog which had been following them.
yves. I suppose So" said the frog,
reluctantly. Gle was really the Bo-
badil Jinn). He was thinking how he
could get back his wishing ring which
Nick had slipped off his own finger
and laid beside the rest of the charms
in the cave.
come along, then" said Nancy,
waiting for him. The goat, you know,
who was guardian Of the diamonds,
wished to find out whether or not they
were mortals, and they were all go
ing out into the sunlight to see who
would or would not cast a shadow.
ONLY mortals do, it is we'll known.
Nancy got through first and looked
at the sky anxiously. Then she look
ed at the ground at her feet and gave
a little cry of Joy. The map was en-
tirelv right. It was MONDAY and they
were exactly on the equator. She had
no shadow at ALI Neither had Nick
who took his place quickly beside her.
The goat then appeared. We'll, well,
we'll" said he, looking at the ground
in surprise. You are enchanted,
aren't you? I might have known it
without putting you to so much trou-
BILE. No shadow at all. either of you!
Come right into my cave again and
continue your journey in peace and
safety. I'll give you letters 10 all my
enchanted friends
But where's the frog?'' cried Nancy.
She knew that if they could get the
fellow out into the sunlight, his spell
would be broken at once.
Yes, exclaimed the goat. Where
is he?"

PRESS COMMENT
The Emergency Tariff eiII-A Trap

The Emergency Tariff RiII-A Trap
for Democrats
We believe President Wilson will
make a tactical and political mistake
if he votes the Fordney emergency
tariff bill. We are aware that 1t is
in conflict with all his political prin-
ciples and beliefs, but still we believe
that it would leave the party in much
better shape if he should permit It to
become c law, if it reaches that stage
before March 4. 1t is the purest kind
of camouflage, simply political bunk.
and 1t looks very much as if it were
a trap laid for the democratic party.
II cannot afford relief to the farmer in
any way, and it's promoters are aware
of the fact. 1t opens no new markets,
and cannot raise tho prices of the
farmers products in the markets of
the world.
But it will undoubtedly before it is
finally passed, contain provisions in
the interest OF the vested industries"
which will add to the cost of living.
which is already Il heavy burden to
the consuming masses. If 1t is vetoed
by the president. it gives the frepub-
licans a chance to come before the
people with the claim that they de-
vised measure of relief, which was
killed by a democratic president. There
will be no way of refuting an argu-
OF that kind and the democrat Is
will nave TO bear the onus of refus-
ing the country relief in a serious
crisis. On the contrary il the bill be-

A Lesson in Politics


The dispute in the democratic
party over the control of the nation
al committee is interesting from many
points of view, perhaps most so for
the light which it throws upon party
control as depending on a machine
carefully organized under certain fixed
rules of procedure.
When women came into citizenship
they were warned that if they wished
to work effectively in politics they
must learn the rules of the game. The
same thing has <been explained to the
ordinary male voters who have been
taking an increasing interest in cleo
lions Of late years, only to find their
efforts somehow fell short of accom-
plishment.
The present democratic row shows
plainly enough that elections are not
things of chance, left to election day,
but are the result of planning long
in advance, and of efficient organi-
cation for unity to insure that plans
shall mature.
This does not mean that such or
CARNATIONS are evil. They are not.
1t does mean that any citizens who
wish to take a telling part in elections
must work with the established ma
chinery or else create equally power
full machinery of their Own.-St. Au-
gustine Record.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-03-03

or an those memories the fondest
and most cherished are those which
cluster around the name and fame of
Robert e. Lee. OF him we can say
with the poet:
OF hero mould,
With heart Of gold.
His life was pure and knightly,
Than his. no star,
In skies OF war,
Has ever beamed more brightly.
Earth holds In trust
Thy mortal dust,
o warrior true and knightly;
Sweet be thy rest,
Upon thy breast
May the green turf lie lightly.
