One after the other the prosecutors read their charges
The judges shook their heads at the very gravity Of the

When the evidence all had been spoken the judges
turned to Phryne and commanded that she stand before
them to receive her sentence according to one OF tho
legends her attorney pucked her robe from her and
showed her uncad to the Judges who in Difference to her
beauty, pardoned her.
According to another story, however Phryne obeyed
the summons but prayed Of the chief Judge that before
she sentenced she be granted permission to- step into

The judges assented Phryne her head held high, her

to impersonate the famous beauty Of Athens.

And strange indeed were some of these -
goals. Writing of Phryne and the judges
made me wonder whether some of those gray TX
boards did not drop in later upon Praxiteles at
his studio or 60 walking the pleasant streets
of Athens with his model -A
And this reminds me Of very modern
Phryne who often employed for poses in
the nude who found most unique method of exactng
livelihood from the studio hangerson without compromis

who strange to say frequently posed for Madonnas
and angels well for figures in the Altogether dis

application posing entaled In her search for the

she for her pleasure than for her profes

Of dssolute elderly Of wealth who place strange

These known in their younger days bon vivants
and roues seek to maintain that reputation among the
company of similar spirits who make up their circle of
acquaintance To them there is possible Joy so de-
srable to be in the night cafes in the front rows
of popular musical comedies or revues the fash

satisfaction that theirs in their little play at still being

things be- but how young can lend themselves

ToUsANT HEARD FROM.
Danville Man Disappeared Almost
Week Ago.

st. bloomsbury, Oct. l9.--The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance Of
Fred Tousant, a well known Danville
Turner, who had been absent from his
home for almost weak, was solved
yesterday when word from the miss
ing man was received by Mrs. Tous-
ant. The wife and mother OF four
small children announced that she was
in receipt Of letter from her husband,
which stated that he was working for
a lumber dealer in Milan, near Berlin,
N. H.
The news Of the location OF Mr..
Tousant and the knowledge that he
was alive and well relieved the anxiety
Of neighbors and the authorities who
had for the past few days been dill
gently searching for him.
Sheriff Wilbur II. Northern and
several of his deputies secured the
woods, fields and highways on .Satur-
day and Sunday and the officers were
Joined in the search by nearby farmers
who gave their assistance unsolicited.
In his letter Mr.. Tousant declared
that he was discouraged over the I'M
pleasant association with Mr.. and Mrs.
George Spaulding, who own the farm,
situated three miles from Danville
Green, and who live in the farm house
with the Tousants. He strongly in
timated that conditions had become
such that he felt as though he could
stand it no longer The tone OF the
letter indicated that he was very sorry
for having left his family suddenly and
kept them uniformed as to his where
abouts. He failed to state whether he
would return to Danville. Neither did
he ask his wife and children to come to
Milan and live with him.
Mr.. Tousant disappeared from his

The day of the cheap construction
of churches apparently is going out.
Here are the Methodists OF Rutland
planning a 100000 structure. The
chances are that it viii be a Sl25,0oO
structure before the finishing touches
are put on. But whatever the price,
it pays to build well in church con-
struction, not only as preventive to
constant repairs later but also as an
incentive to church attendance and
church morale A poorly constructed,
ugly-looking church edifice does not
hold out a strong invitation to the
on.church- going public and, moreover,
does not satisfy those who already are
church attendants.

A SESSION IN CONGRESS-.

The following excerpt from the de.
bate in the national House Of Repre-
sentatives Tuesday regarding the rail-
road situation serves to bring out
sharply some of the weaknesses Of
men in public life, the men in ques-
ton being Representative Burke of
Pennsylvania and Representative
Blanton of Texas
Mr.. Burke charged that Mr.. Blanton
during his remarks had made false
statements.
The Texas member leaped to his feet
and denying he had stated fafsehood,
shouted, you're a liar
This brought the retort, "Youire a
damned liar" from Mr.. Burke.
The two representatives moved to-
ward each other as other members
rushed up to restrain them.
During the confusion. Mr.. Burke
shouted at Mr.. Bfanton, You're a
dirty dog
Both representatives later asked to
have their remarks expunged.
1t is true that the casualties in the
verbal and metaphysical encounter
were not grievous, but there is no
doubt that the self-respect of the Con-
gress of the United States was shaken
by this manifestation of lack of re-
straint ON the part of two of its MEM
bers. 1t was the sort of talk which
one might expect to hear at the cock
fight OF in street brawl but scarcely
in the halls Of the national House of
Representatives. Both Burke and
Blanton later asked that their remarks
be expunged from the records of the
House. They ought to go further and
apologize TO the constituencies, which
sent them 10 Congress, if not to the
entire country, for they surely brought
a certain measure of disgrace upon the
House of Representatives.
