WANT PUSSYFOOT
FOR DRY" CHIEF
Friends of Anti-Saloon Lacquer Boom
Him to Succeed Kramer-Plan
Heavy Tax on Beer.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-''Pussy-
foot Johnson has been put forward by
some of the drys to succeed John +.
Kramer as prohibition enforcement COM
missioner under the new administration.
Mr.. johnson, who is in the pay of the
anti-salOon league, will not be advanced
by that organization since its policy has
always been against putting any of its
own men into an office it worked to create.
However, should Mr.. johnson sever rela-
tiOns with the league before the job is
offered, he would not come under its ban.
''PuSsyfOOt" made his first reputation
as a prohibition enforcement officer years
ago when he was with the Indian service.
His duties We're 10 enforce prohibition

every section where he worked dry. PO-
litically Mr.. Johnson is said to be in har-
mony with the Republican administration.
The drys are planning to write a heavy
tax on beer and wines as one move to
block the disastrous effect of the beer
ruling by Attorney General Palmer. \
tax of 50 gallon on wine and So on beer
for medicinal purposes is being consid-
cred. Beer would cost close to % cents
a glass in tax alone at this rate.

CHILD's REMARKABLE MEMORY.
Dorothy EspanOla, 4. of PoEnfret Reyeis in
Figures and Statistics.

Added to the list of child wonders who
are being discovered about the country
should be the name of little Dorothy
Leroye Espanola of Pomfret (Vt.), whose
foster father is Joseph Napoleon. Al
though only four years old, the little girl
has accumulated marvellous fund of in
formation. her memory being extraor-
dinarily keen. She can neither read nor
write. yet she recites any number of
poems. famous and otherwise, and will re-
peat after anyone the most involved sem
fences made up OF five-syllable words.
She also has a very keen sense OF OBJ
ServatiOn. Looking around at a group of
men in Springfield. Mass. while being in
terviewed by a newspaper reporter. she
picked out the married men from the
single. When queried on why she knew
that one of them was married, she de-
clared that he had the worn, tired look of
a married man.
Without the slightest effort she viii pick
up what someone has said in a converse
tiOn and repeat it word for word. Picking
up a newspaper, her father read her a
sentence containing figures that ran into
the millions and little Dorothy repeated it
after him.
She is the 18th child of % of family
of Bohemian French people, neither of her
parents being able to read or write. When
little Dorothy was a few months old her
mother was taken very ill and was taken
to a hospital. 1t was declared tbs she
was about to die and she begged the 81 tiers
TO see that her baby was taken care of.
The nun pronounced a blessing on the
child and declared that she would be great.

Grandpa i'm School.

Wien grandpa went to school he saws
lie learned his "A, b, c's,"
And III a dictionary now
Can find his Is and vs.
He learned TO read his alb, abs"
And didn't try to clog
His mental system by a gulp
At undivided dog"
The teacher paid no tention to
Ills eyes or ears or toes,
But maybe told him once OF twice
He'd better wipe his nose:
And so he wasn't in his youth.
Compelled to have pair
Of glasses which the school board
thought
He really ought to rear.
She didn't poke within his throat
To find an adenoid,
But seemed concerned lest lie shout
be
OF understanding void.
And so she made him toe the mark
And read UP good and loud.
And when he reached three syllables
My, want his parents proud!
She didn't try TO make him sing
But chose that he should delye
In multiplication tables till
He'd shout to twelve-times twelve.
He didn't study basketry
Nor such like stuff so swell
But there want much of anything
Your grandfather couldn't spell
Child culture and psychology
His teacher didn't con,
But still she knew exactly how
To lay the dingbats on.
Though likely a certificate
She couldn't get today,
She switched a lot of men into
The straight and narrow way.

CHINESE PASSIyITY.
Philosophy Teaches Them That Reason
Will Triumph Over Force

1t seems impossible TO deny that most
of China's present disabilities and dan
gers are due to no fault of its own, but
to the sudden creation, by the western
powers. of a new condition of things.
The material civilization of the West
asserted its superiority over that of the
East by forcible means, with which all
the wisdom of the East was unable to
cope. If Ne admit this-as | think we
must then, If there be anything vital
i'll the ideals that the Anglo Saxon race
processes, anything attaInable in the
league of nations ideal of IA reign of
law" the West owes the East a deep
debt of reparations And it can be dis
charged only by sympathetic understand
ing and by self-denying determination
to protect the helplessness of the Chi
nesc people through the necessary per-
iod of administrative reconstruction.
And never has there been a race more
deserving of protection at the hands of
humanity. For, say what you will, the
very passive philosophy that exposes
china to the rapacity OF earth hungry
powers approaches more nearly to the
essential principles Of Christianity, as
laid down in the Sermon on the Mount,
than the everyday practice OF most
Christian nations. Here you have peo-
pie in very truth too proud to fight,
because they not only profess, but firmly
believe, that in the long run reason aud
Justice must triumph over force. The
polished pacitsm of Confucius and the
intellectual superiority of his offspring,
the classical liteTati, both tempered
with the Buddhist teaching of gentle
ness and compassion, have produced a
| type of Civilizations raee-mind, fixed
| in unity of ideas-that, to the Chinese
themselves land to many Enropeans)
seems morally superior to that of the
West-a splendid inheritance.

PREHISTORIC TEETH.
Dug Up in a Gravel Pit in Good Con-
ditiOn.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col. March
21.-Scven perfect teeth. believed to
have been those of a mastodon or of
some other prehistoric animal. have been
dug up in the city gravel pit by work
men who were eXcavating from one of

The teeth. which are i'll perfect condi-

long from root to base and bear seven
perfect rings on the chewing surface,
which is approximately one and one
half inches in diameter.
The teeth evidently are from the fore
part of the jaw and include two tusks
and the front teeth or nippers. Other
evidences of large bones were found, but
were crumbled and broken until they
could scarcely be distinguished. The
bones were found in a gravelly. sandy
