knows what they are about. He puts
them carefully away. They are not
notes for a. book. which mahy expect.
Unless Mr.. Wilson changes his mind
decidedly he will write no reply to Rob-
ert lansing or any one else who has
criticised his policies.
However the evening may be spent,
however tired he may be, there is one
thing the former President never neg
lects. II Is the reading Of a few verses
Of the Bible. When he says good night
he invariably reads aloud some short
passage from the Book which always
rests on the reading table at his bed
side.
Friends and admirers ask what Is
Woodrow Wilson's real condition now.
He Will be S. next December and has
passed through an ordeal which few men
survive. The measure OF his progress
toward health must be measured with
those facts In mind. His normal weight
IN health while he was President was
lS0 pounds. He shows little departure
from that figure now. His eyesight is
as good, although he has discarded his
favorite nose glasses for spectacles His
Eair has turned snow white, but II has
not thinned. His appetite Is too robust
to please his physicians. Last March
when he left the White House with
President-elect Harding. an attendant
had 10 place his feet on each succeeding
step from the portIco.s The other day he
sent his attendant away and climbed
alone. not without some effort. into his
automobile, just to see II he could do 1t,
and seemed pleased to find that he
could.
Motor nerves and muscles OF his left
side have given more response to treat
mcnt than was hoped for. or course
they are not fully active now. He still
walks with a cane most Of the time. but
frequently hangs the crook over his arm
and goes It alone without my third
leg" as he puts 1t.
Mr.. Wilson IS far from weak man
to-day. He was far from a we'll man
when he entered the White House more
than eight years ago. But during the
last two years there have been times
when his voice was inaudible and when
he could not support himself alone His
condition to-day shows more improve
ment than his family and friends dared
hope for.
Somebody once raised the question,
How do cur former Presidents live -
Col. Roosevelt had a comfortable for
tune Of his own, augmented by income
from writings. Until Mr. Tart became
Chief Justice, he had from time to time
profitable sources of income.
Mr.. Wilson took with him to the White
House the small savings Of life time.
which he preserved. AS President his
royalties frcm books previously written
mounted into rather handsome sums. and
they have shown a marked slump since
he left the White House. While he was
President circumstances helped him save
money.
The war and the suspension Of social
functions and entertainment were quite
a. item. II has been estimated that the
former Presidents pocketbook was at
least $685. richer because he was not
called on tt. wine and dine numerous
dignltaries and official persons.
On his modest fortune he now lives
simply with an establishment of only
three servants and used car"

an infantile complication compared with

Senator Brandegee Comm, another
Republican !rreconclable, explained
that he strongy opposed participation
In the rcparations commission. but took
the view that the Administration could
ask Congress for authority to partici-
pate Just as well without the treaty as
with x.
Senator Lodge, answering the objec-
tion raised against the treaty. took the
position that there was nothing 70
hinder the President from asking Con-
gress for authority to take part In the
separations commission. even II the
treaty was rejected. He also pointed
out that the United States was under
no compulsion TO join the reparations
commission: II could negotiate settle

PEACE AND TAXES
VIE FOR ATTENTION
Senate Delays Revision Bill,
Awaiting Outcome Of Caucus
by Democrats.

WAsHINGToN. Sept 25.--The tax re-
vision bill was ready to-day in the Sem
ate, but formal consideration or IT was
deferred until tomorrow. Whether the
measure will be pressed from that time
may depend on the action Of the Demo-
treaties with Germany. Austria and
Hungary.
Chairman penrose OF the finance
Committee, In charge of the measure.
said that should il develop that the
treaties could BE ratified with only few
days consideration. the tax measure
probably would be laid aside temporarily.
This In the end would expedite Anal ac-
tion on the tax legislation. he said. ndd-
ing that Senators apparently were not
favorable to the suggestion or alternate
consideration OF the tax biz and the
treaties with the Senate holding night
sessions.
The Senate was informed to-day by
both Senator Underwood (Ala.). the
Democratic leader. and Senator Sim
mons IN Co.. ranking minority member
OF tie Finance Committee. that there
was no disposition on the part OF the
Democrats to delay tax legislation. Sen
ator Penrose wanted 70 take 10 the rev.
cnue bill for amendment to-day. out Sen
ator Simmons objected. insisting me pro-
cedure be limited to the reading Of the
bill. He said Senators should have more
time to consider the measure before BE-
Ing asked 10 pass on the amendments
proposed 10 the present law.
Senator Penrose said the bill had been
before the Senate since "Wednesday. He
added that he hoped the recent absence
from Washington Of Senator Simmons
would not operate to delay II. This
drew n vigorous protest from the North
Carolina member. who said he had been
away only three days and that this
would not cause any delay.

The Jolly Wind

Today the wind has had great fun
Chasing the leaves to make them
run,
They flutter and fly, turn head over
heels
And away they roll like little
wheels:
Yellow and red instead of green
They're just as nice as they've
ever been.
A few that still hang on the trees
Are pulling and Juggling in the
breeze,
We think they are trying to get
free,
Quite tired of being tied to a tree.
We love to go out when the wind is
high,
We stretch our arms and try to
fly,
But the wind just laughs at what
we do.
"Ha-ha," he says, and "Who-oo- are
you-ou-ou?'
We answer loudly, JEANNE and
Joe,
Help US to fly, we would love to
co."
But he will not lift such heavy
things,
He likes the leaves, or things with
wings.
Sometimes he is in a frisky mood
And then he's rather rude,
He shakes the window, bangs the
door,
And lifts the mats upon the floor;
Or snatches off persons hat;
It's not polite, but he doesn't know
that!
1t makes US laugh to see hat roll
(Joe says bowlers were meant TO
bowD.
We think it's funny, but if we can
We catch it and give it back TO the
man.
We like the wind to blow at night
When the house is still and there
is no light,
We creep and peep through the
window bars
And HEIR the wind among the stars,
Carrying his big gray clouds along,
Singing always the same old song,
WhO-O-O are you?
We say, You know were JEANNE
and Joe.
Because we have often told you so,
Jolly old wind, we do love you.
We do, we do-oo!"

POOLING THE TEACHER

When we lived in st. Louis, my
sister, Eleanor, was just starting in
kindergarten.
Mother was explaining to her
that she had to go to school every
day or she would be called absent.
One day mother had to keep her
out of school to take her down
town to have her shoes fitted.
When she came home the next day
she came into the house anxious
to tell mother she had fooled the
teacher.
She said the teacher didn't know
she went down town because she
didn't call her absent; she had just
called her Eleanor Clapp.-Paul

without food or water? Would he
not lose his mind IL this continued?
How many days would pass before
he must die? He had never thought
of death by starvation. He might
kill himself. No, he would never do
that! Perhaps he was losing his
mind. now. he was SO weak and
dazed!
What. No! 1t could not BEL
1t could not be water! Yet, it must
be a brook lit must be water!
The doctor approached the
brook. Yes, it was real water! He
found small vial in his pocket. He
filled it and drank. He filled 1t
again and yet a third time. he
knew that he must not drink too
much, but he must not go far from
the brook.
The doctor sat down by the
brook to rest, and soon fell asleep
from utter WEAKNESS. When he
awoke it was late afternoon. He
arose and walked forward. looking
back very often so that he would
not lose sight of the stream. He
then decided it was best to follow
the stream, since he might as well
be In one place as another, so long
as he was near water.
He followed 1t for about two
miles when he saw an opening in
the forest. 1t proved to be lake.
He suddenly stopped and looked
intently across the lake. What!
No! His eyes were deceiving him!
It could not be! He must be
dreaming! He must be losing his
mind! 1t came nearer. Yes! 1t
certainly looked like a boat with
two people in it. Yes! it was a
boat.
The doctor waved his handker-
chief. The two men in the boat
saw him and answered his signal.
The boat touched shore and two OF
his camp friends leaped out Of the
boat and welcomed him as If he
| were risen from the dead.
They reached the camp in safety,
and the doctor soon recovered from
| the effects of his adventure.-Ruth
