comment.
An illiterate and subnormal Negro
who murdered a church organist at
the very door of her home one night
when she was returning home from
church, was lately electrocuted in
New Jerseys state prison. In Jail
the poor fellow said that if he really
did the thing he was accused of he
ought to go to the electric chair; he
did not deny the crime; he simply
didn't recollect it, because that night
he was crazy drunk. But he added
with that direct and simple sense of
justice which is peculiarly character
istic of children and undeveloped
adults: "The man that sold me that
gin ought to go there, too; bought
liquor of him 20 or 80 times" And
the very interesting thing is that a
score Of big city newspapers indorsed
the Negroes opinion on that point,
saying it would be nothing more than
fair for the bootlegger involved to
share the punishment.
Yet among these papers there are
several-more than a majority, we
should say-who are bitterly anita
gonistic to prohibition. They seem
unable to see that the whole philo-
sophy Of prohibition is just the philo-
sophy of the Negro murder-that the
seller of liquor is responsible morally

A Talk With a Red

Mr.. Dreyer, Retired Farmer of Red
wood Falls Tells His Experience.

There is nothing like talk with
one of our own citizens for giving hope
and encouragement to the anxious suf-
ferer from the dread kidney disease.
We, therefore, give here an interview
with a Redwood Falls man:
Il had a severe attack of lumbago
about four years ago and my back
gave me lot of trouble" says Mr..
Dreyer. 81 was so lame in the morn
ing, could hardly pull on my clothes
and some days / had to lay off work
| had to get up as many as four or
five times during the night to pass the
kidney secretion. Binding, dizzy spells
came over me, too. i have always
done hard work on the farm and blame
that for my trouble. / read Of Doan's
Kidney Pills and got some. 1t didn't
take this medicine long to cure me.

WOMEN IGNORE SHEIK
Go on Stage in Defiance Of Or
der of Vicar of Sultan.
Turkish Women Find New Freedom
as Result Of Conditions Following
the World War.

onStantinople.-The command OF
the Sheik-ul-Islam, vicar of the sultan,
ordering Turkish women not to appear
on the stage, is being ignored by them.
The German-Austrian and allies occu-
pations of the city, with the loss OF
husbands, fathers and brothers, and
the press of poverty, has brought a
new freedom to Turkish women. This
is daily seen by their clothing. They
wear their wells still, instead Of hat,
but turned back and tied in a pretty
knot, after the manner of their Rus
sian refugee sisters.
Because of the high price OF cloth,
Turkish women no longer wear null
titude of garments, designed in old
time to hide the outlines of their hg-
ures. Both veil and dresses are deep
sea blue, Instead of the dull conven-
tional black once the custom. Some at
feet the homespun brown dress, the
becoming garment designed by Halide
Hanum, the nationalist woman leader.
These changes have dissipated the
uSSlSIy AhISu oASS OANSiopOu 'AiS
Turkish woman and Americans here
find that she does not differ in looks
very much from others. On an aver
age, they are not SO good-looking as
the American women. The difference
may be said to lie in their timidity.
Even this quality is dissipated quickly
when they come in contact with for
eigners, as is the case in the mixed re-
ceptions given at the Constantinople
college for girls, maintained here by
Americans. At such receptions the
Turkish girls and women talk brightly
and cleyerly with American naval OFF,
GERS and other guests, and sometimes
take part in the dancing and firta-
tons.

The constellation of child prodigies
has received another star-this time
a little girl with an unerring instinct
for design.
She is ten>ye;pr- Felice Maier of
New York and she draws pictures the

that she doesn't play marbles, too.
Felice is a regular marble-playing,

When Felice was four her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Maier, noticed
the irresistible attraction pencil had
for her She would never draw from
models; she simply drew what her
Imagination prompted her to draw.
And she seemed to turn most naru-
rally to pictures of women of fash
ion, dressed in the latest mode. Eve
ming dresses, frocks, bathing suits,
skating costumes and dreams of negli-
gee were all represented by Felice be-
fore she was eight years old. Her
sense of form, her breadth Of magma
ton, her appreciation Of the power Of
suggestion and relief are developed to
q high degree.

The Wise Hedgehog.

It was Hamlet who debated about
whether it would be better to bear
his present ills, or fly to- those he
knew not Of.
A similar thought must often strike
the person who contemplates the in
tricacies of government and politics.
Whether it is better to indure the
rascals that you know, OF take
chances on changing to knaves that
you know not, that is the question.
Old Aesop was thinking something
along this line when he wrote the fol-
lowing fable, about twenty-four humid
red years ago:
"A Fox, while crossing over river,
was driven by the stream into mar
row gorge, and lay there for a long
time unable to get out, covered with
nyriads Of horse-flies that had fast
ened themselves upon him. A Hedge
hog, who was wandering in that direc-
ton, saw him, and, taking compassion
on him. asked him if he should drive
away the flies that were SO torment
ing him. But the Fox begged him to
do nothing of the sort. why not p
asked the Hedgehog. Because re-
piled the Fox, these flies that are up
on me now, are already full, and draw
but little blood, but should you re-
move them, a swarm of fresh and
hungry ones will come, who will not
leave drop Of blood in my body y

Has Many Famous Pictures.

In the low, old-fashioned colonial
home in Cincinnati of Charles r.
Taft. brother Of the former President,
is to be found one Of the finest pri-
vate collections Of the old masters
in this country. Little known to the
public at large, the paintings that
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft have acquired in
the last twenty years are noted in
the small circle of the artistic. The
collection is built around the Dutch.
English and French schools. In some
cases the Taft pictures are the finest
examples of their authors to be seen
i'm the United States. This is notably
true, according to the late Frank
Duveneck, of Frans Halls, and two of
his portraits to be found there, ''The
Young Man of Harlem" and 1.-THE
Young Woman of Harlem" There
was no better judge of Halls in
America than Duveneck, in the judg-
ment of friends of the noted Cincin-
natl artist.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Little Church
Around the Corner.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The 9TH
er day they celebrated in New York
the fiftieth anniversary of the crea~
ton of ''The Little Church Around the
Corner" The little church is older
than that, but it was fifty years since
the particular thing happened that
bestowed on it that famous name and
designations
1t is retold that Joe Jefferson, the
actor of most beloved memory, was
seeking clergyman to read the burr
al service for his dead friend, George
Holland. He went to pastor of a
church of some prominence with his
request. He was told by this scrumps
tuous pastor that such service for
a mere actor would not be permitted
from the House of God over which
he had the honor to preside. Making
some inquiries, the pastor told Mr.
Jefferson that there was "a little
church around the corner" where such
a service might be held. JeffersOn
thereupon exclaimed, God bless The
Little Church Around the Corner"
and that is the name that has chung
to it ever since. The Rev. George
Hendrick Houghton received the actor
with gladness and the services were
held as desired. There is still q DIR.
Houghton presiding over that little
church, nephew of the original past
or of that name. He has grown old
himself and he has celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his ordination
to the priesthood. Through all the
years the church has maintained it's
traditions.

Evils and Remedies.

The New York chamber Of COM
merce last week had distinguished
visitors from Scandinavian chambers
Of commerce, and Mr.. Wallenberg,
president of the Stockholm chamber,
spoke words Of wisdom rare here, and
rarer overseas. It is natural enough
that remedies should be demanded in
proportion that troubles are many and
deep. That is sufficient reason why
there are more economic patent medi-
cines prescribed abroad than here, for
at the. worst nobody imagines that our
conditions are as bad as the best
abroad. Mr.. Wallenberg spoke~of the
likenesses in the disturbance of world
conditions, trade disrupted, finance
bewildered and theories on every sidel
He was weary of all of them:
The sooner we stop theorizing
and get to work-hard work
keeping our hands and minds en-
gagged, we will restore CT Sdence.
Too many people have tlnss to
theorize on depression and too
little time to work Stop theori-
zing and do something.
Work has been the remedy prescrib-
ed before. but for it's material results.
The novelty in this foreign prescrip-
ton lies in it's being recommended for
psychological results, the cure of the
Russia. but also there is less theoriz-
"blues." Probably there are more idle
hands here than in any country except
ing here than there. There is vast
unemployment in England, but there
is more doctrinizing there than here.
Only a few of our unemployed are
giving their minds to alien theories Of
mind cures for economic evils. "Get
busy is good medicine for our trou-
bles. 1t will work quicker here than
anywhere else, and the pot will boil
all the quicker for those who stop
watching it and "do something. >

OWNS CLOCK OF GEN. PUTNAM
Wooden Tlmepiece Of Colonial Period
Placed in Masonic Temple at
Honeoye Falls, N. Y.

Rochester, relic Of the olden
times in the shape Of a ''Grandfather's
Clock" has been placed in the hall in
Masonic temple In Honeoye Falls.
The clock is owned by DR.. Harry R.
Marlette, and because of its history it
is worthy of more than passing notice.
This affidavit, sworn to before q
notary public, vouches for its history !:
"This clock was made in England
and was brought to this country by a
man named Davis and was afterward
sold by him to Israel Putnam, and at
his death was handed down to his eld-
est son, Israel Putnam. Jr. (the ia
nous general Of the Revolutionary
war).
AT his death it became the prop
erty Of James s. Putnam. After his
deathsI came into possession Of it
and it was sold by me to DR.. Harry
r. Mariatte In August, 1920"
The clock still keeps time.

An Eskimo Opera Sung.
Living Age.

Although only nneager reports have
so far reached the United States, it
seems fairly clear that Hakon Boerre-
sens opera, "Kaddara," presented a
short time ago at the Royal theater,
Copenhagen, is an unusual work of
real significance and in some respects
unique. The scene is laid in Green
land, Eskimo costumes are used, and
the lights of the aurora borealis play
over the stage during the production.
Arctic explorers who have seen the
opera praise the fidelity of these
effects.
The new opera has true musical
merits as well as novelties in scenery,
staging and setting. The music is
said to be vigorous, virile and typical
" Scandinavian, the critic of the
Dagens Nyheder of Copenhagen said:

same may be said of the Hunting

part of the third act that real dismal

Out Of the Ordinary.

Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
ambassador, recently told an amusing
story Of hunt in the Canadian wilds,
of the wolf packs that howled around
the cabin at night, of going forth,
torch in one hand and revolver in
the other of seeing two bright eyes
in the darkness and firing. The next
morning it was discovered that he had
killed q rabbit.
Mr.. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
dor and dean Of the corps, later
spoofed the Britisher bit on his
story.
ut was an excellent story" said
the Frenchman. "Quite remarkable
in some respects. 1t was particular
ly remarkable, it seems to me, because
1t was shooting story told by an
Englishman and there was no tiger
in t."-Philadelphia Evening Public
Ledger.

LAKE OF IMMENSE DEPTH
Worlds Most Remarkable
Bodies Of Water

Below lay cities with their public
squares and white churches, fields
of yellow grain like golden patches Of
light in the crystal-clear atmosphere
of the Guatemala highlands, huge
dark masses of forest, and beyond,
extending their thousands Of spurs
and TANKS, rose the predigio1s Cor
dilleras To the left the peaks Of
Atitlan lowered to the heavens,
majestic, symmetrical, recalling in
their perfect contour the famed
Fugiyama of Japan.
1t was more than half days ride
from this point before we came to
Goodness crest and beheld, 5000 feet
below us, the deep blue waters of
Lake Atitlan, and on it's opposite
shores, rising sheer a mile to mile
and half above the surface of the
lake, seven great volcanoes, of which
the two known as Atitlan are the
most wonderful. Lake Atitlan, itself
a crater lake u miles in greatest
length and II miles wide, is re-
markable body of water. The Rev.
Father Garcia Of Naguala, a gradu-
ate of the University of Rome, and
one who has given enthusiastic study
to the meteorology of the region, In
formed me that official soundings Of
this lake gave an extreme depth OF
more than 1000 feet.
It's surface is 5000 feet below the
level of the sea. Its waters TEEN with
trout with which it has been stocked,
and while walking upon its sandy
beach near Panajachel we saw great
schools of smaller fish and not few
of the larger. Into its shore plunge
the volcanic hills, often in precipit-
Gus, forested hogbacks, often in
steeply sloping wheat fields, or again
ending in mile high cliffs of bright
red sandstone or perpendicular walls
marked by the slate grays and pur-
plish hues of volcanic ash. Such are the
walls of Lake Atitlan, often called
Lake Panajachel, painted by nature
in her most glorious, riotous colors,
and rivaling even the famed hues of
the Grand Canyon Of Arizona.
From the shores of the lake, as we
first looked down upon it, arose great
clouds of steam, as if the beach were
saturated with boiling water. But, in
this case, it was merely the afternoon
sun beating upon the wet sands. for
the waters of Atitlan are cool and
crystal clear. Billows OF mist, too,
arose from the surface of the lake,
only to be caught and dissipated by
the sudden squalls that come almost
vertically from the mountain passes,
and always there were rainbows to
be seen in the ascending mists.
Whether one looked half mile down
upon the mirrored surface of the lake
or whether he gazed at the volcanoes
towering a mile above and wreathed
in their streaming feather bows OF
shifting vapors, he felt as though
great phenomena of nature were be-
ing staged for his benefit.-Hamilton
M. Wright in Bulletin Of the Pan
American Union.
