 Though my nerves are badly worn; Will my resolution last?
 That I cannot truly say, It is ebbing pretty fast;
 Take. oh take that pipe away. could gnaw my desk in two,
 I could bite through armor plate, Nails and bottles I could chew
 In my present nervous state: Let your step and speech be light When you come where I may be, I sm worse than dynamite,

 Gosh. but how I want smoke! Still. 1 guess I'll stick it out
 For at least another day, Which is why you hear me shout
 Take that doggone pipe away."

Where Handicraft Still Reigns

But Hubbard was not vanquished. He persisted in his arguments un- til he convinced the officials that the booming business in railroad tickets between East Aurora and points in all directions was due to the Roycrofters and that they were East Aurora. Today the East Auro- ra station is probably the only one in the country that has a sign dec orated with a trademark.
 The story of the new railroad sta- ton is another Hubbard story. The town had a disreputable looking shack in which to buy its tickets and pass the time of day. But four years ago Hubbard turned his at tention to the depot. Every month his magazine carried an intense edi- torial about the awful depot situa- ton at East Aurora. One month he printed picture of the ramshackle station and beside it his new pa latial concrete hog pen. That was too much for the railroad. It sur rendered and even set the plans for the new station to Hubbard for his approval.
 The Second Hubbard
 Today. the guiding spirit of the Roycrofters is Ebert Hubbard II.
 Externally Hubbard's son is a sort
 of copy of him, but with some va riations. His hair Is not as long as that of his father Fra Elbertus. And
 the younger Hubbard bears less of resemblance to William Jennings
 Bryan that his father did. But young Ebert Hubbard wears a homespun suit of brown. comfortable shoes and l the flowing black tie that his fa- ther affected.
 This tie is sort of Roycroft | badge. The young men who work in the shops at bookbinding, metal work and Illuminating, quite generally
 wear these flowing black or blue ties. partly, we imagine, as concession | to the artistic temperament. but more as a tribute 10 the departed | leader.
 Ebert Hubbard II sits down to | talk, but he is interrupted every few
 minutes by messages and consulta- | tions. Obviously, he is no figure 1 head in the plant.
 "Elbert Hubbard left the Roycroft | plant as a monument" he explains,
 land am preserving it as a live l monument. People have told me that I am submerging my own per- sonality here. but do not agree with | them. I find satisfaction in bring ing fathers work to other people, | and I can do things for him along

giving the source of the quotation, "You can lead horse to water but you can't make him drink" H. x.
 A. This quotation is traced to John Heywood (circa 1565) in whose "Proberbes." appears: "A man may well bring a horse to the water. but he cannot make him drink without he will"

 O. Where did the easaba melon originate? p. D. H.
 A. The name, variously spelled Kassaba, Cassaba. Casaca, Cassabsh, Casaba. is derived from the town Kassaba near Smyrna, Asia Minor, whence it was introduced. The seed was sent from smyrna to California late in 1878.

that line that he never had time to do for himself.
 ''The Roycroft community should go on in his way until something better can replace it-and I believe that is a long way off. He builded better than he knew"
 Hubbard's big idea, his son re- minds you, was work. He contended that there is no such as menial labor He said, 'The man that has a job is lucky" It was one of his favorite axioms. and he played with the idea in all sorts of epigrams. such as Happy is that man who has found his work"
 But though Hubbard regarded all work as sacred, he was discriminat- ing enough to realize that creative work is more interesting and satisfy ing than purely mechanical pro- cesses. So when he started his craft shop he installed machinery for only the tedious processes. For the rest he believed the old simple ways of doing craftswork were best.
 Works by Hand
 Men and women were set to work making things by hand. spending as much time as necessary on their bookbinding. saving, or modelling with no strict factory rules to drive them on.
 Hubbard further sought to insure contentment and industry by making his factory cooperative. If work man had share in the profits he figured that there was nothing to fear from capital-labor difficulties.
 The shops he built of stones. which the farmers were glad to sell for a dollar a load. They are low. well designed buildings. set in green lawns and partly covered with vines Hubbard set out to make his shops attractive as another means of con tenting his workers, especially the boys and girls of East Aurora. He disliked to see the young people growing up restless at home on the little farms. Yet he disliked stil more to hear that this one or that had left for the city. So. from the time of the first little shop with its eight workers, Hubbard encouraged and made possible artistic surround i ings.
 The power of suggestion wa: reverenced by Hubbard, and it i. everywhere employed to keep Fas Auroraites mindful of their possibiIi- ties. Notices for every emergency and emotion are found about tho Roycroft buildings. Such thought. ful sayings as "The NIlntage of wis. dom is to know that rest is rust and that real life is in love. laugh. ter and work" may be followed by | a more irouical warning as 'Youi | eyes and your ears inform you. no | your tongue"

EAST AURORA, N. Y., Nov. & What is East Aurora doing since El- bert Hubbard and his wife went down on the Lusitauia? People came here wondering if they will find slackness or decay in the home of the Roycrofters. Instead, there is a trim neatness about the plant, the same busy sphere of tranquility that somehow has always pervaded the place.
 The Roycroft plant, you doubtless remember. is the project started by Ebert Hubbard 25 years ago. Hub bard had lived in the village of East Aurora for thirty years without giv- ing any signs of ore day making it famous. He was in the soap business then and had he lzeut on mixing soap would in tune have been a million aire as his partner, LarlSin. became
 But the life of a soap merchant Ialled on the artisticaliy inclined Hubbard. At 3s he took the first step toward retaining his individ- uality. He sole out and went to Harv- ard.
 Then he started a little printing shop in East Aurora and with his philosophy. his writings and his per sonality he gathered about him the Roycroft family and gradually built what is now the Roycroft plant with 250 workers.
 East Aurora was on the map in a quiet way as a New York village be- bore Hubbard's personality began to flower Hubba made 1t popular and gradually East Aurora became synon- ymous with Roycroft and Ebert Hubbard.

The whole community seems to center on the shady street where the low ivy covered shops of the Hubbard plant stand.
 Hubbard took it for granted that the world would recognize that he and his Roycrofters made East Au- rora what it has become. When East Aurora got a new railroad station, Hubbard wrote to the railroad com pany and asked permission to make the station slen and put the cabal- istic Roycroft trademark on if be- side the name Fast Aurora.

POLYGAMY
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

The Frenchman joined his finger tips, hunkered down In his chair and proceeded to celebrate after the manner of Frenchmen.
 He sat in chair on the boulevard, where it is pleasant fine day to watch the passers-by, and make the conversation.
 "There is good deal,' he remarked, !" to be said Tn favor of polygamy
 "The man who renders three women happy is surely better man than who makes one woman wretched Yet we suppress the benefacor by law, and encourage the malefactor.
 ''I do not say that we should divest this question of all sentiment you can't do that for it is essentially sentimental ssue but at least we should subject sen timent to reason after the of cultivated and enlightened people,
 Excessive sentiment among the stricter moral ists even goes so far insist that two people who daily making each others lives unbearabe should not be allowed divorce.
 Speaking in scientific strictness, ask Is man polygamous animal? And in answer to this query, does not observation prove that it is matter of tenn perament of natural disposition? Are there not some adapted by nature to have but wife, others who would be happier with two three ten and stll others who would get along deal better without any?
 "It cannot be claimed that polygamy is bad for the health since Methuselah and his copatriarchs lived in termnaby had many wives and were blessed Tn their posterity.
 of course there's the Bible It seems to sanction polygamy Tn the Old Testament and frown upon 1t in the new And it is singular how follow the New in matters of marriage while in matters of and geance and the like brush the New Testament aside as impractical and cling to the Old.
 Another point Does not prohibiting polygamy render it attractive and thus tend to increase It! From all I read about the prohibition of whskey in America there is more consumed than ever. If am to believe your newspapers there is more drunken ness than when the saloons in full blast Millions of barrels of liquor pouring over every border into the United States Moonshne stills in active opera tion And people who drank before are taking to their cups I really cannot understand why the liquor interests not in favor of prohibition. It seems strange that they oppose it. when the quantity of their sales enlarged and the price has scared Bu then wesFrenchmen cannot understand America
 But my point is, if we were to legaize. polygamy and prohibit monogamy would not many of your cit- zens who now are surreptitious poygamists, become surreptitious monogamists, and while openly living with six wves really be secretly living with but one?
 s9One more point If man had six wives, how would he know which one to obey? To obey is diff ficult enough, but sx-oh la, la, la! 'sI do not mention six mothers-in-law, Monsieur, for am indulging in comedy, not tragedy
 "Eh ben! It is getting cold. Let us go."

Theories of Innocence

We suppose it is the proper thing for lawyer to advance any theory. however ridiculous in favor of the innocence of his client concerning whose guilt there is little real doubt Now have the attorneys of Burch. the alleged murderer of Ken nedy at Los Angeles urging the insanity of Burch. That to be confession of the attorneys of belief that he actually killed Kennedy and they have no other than this forelorn hope saving him. The insanity plea is old and threadbare stuf that when 1t is employed though the defendant is really the public is warranted in believing that he is not and generally does believe. Burch denies that he is insane; claims that he is sane anybody We believe he is at least his attorneys anyhow.
 Then too is the latest development in the Ar buckle defense that he at time alone with his alleged victim at the notorious St. Francis hotel booze party. For that have the word of Lowell Sherman. member of the party and who fled from the state immediately after the death of Miss Rappe and concealed his movements until he reached NeY York.
 His story of the sudden illness of Miss Rappe, the carrying her into adjoining bedroom, is at variance with all the testimony offered the in quest before the grand jury and the preliminary examination. It is an after thought of Sherman's or perhaps that of the attorneys who framing the defense.

THE ONCE OVER
By H. I. PHILLIPS

THIS WAY TO THE BEER WARD The patient lifted up his head;
 Quoth he, 'Life's outlook now is
 richer;
 Away with pills. and in their stead
 Prescribe for me a gallon pitcher" Whatever folks may say of the secretary of the treasury MT. Mel lon, he is m water Mellon.
 A little genuine beer (say a couple of gallons or so) may do a man a lot of good, he admits; likewise, wine, and under his official seal an order has gone out allowing the distrib- ution of the same.
 Once more the smell of hops hangs heavy over the neighborhood of the old brewery, the grooming of the beer truck wheels may be heard in the yard, and the jovial, red checked brewery hands may be seen piling the eases of real stuff aboard the wag- ons as they wish all customers "a long illness and a merry one"
 At last the authorities have real ized that the No Beer, No Work slogan of some years back was no joke. There has been even less work than beer the past few months.
 Of course. a lot of beer has been working. bu- that, as Eudyard Kip ling would say. is another story.
 Those wishing real beer without delay will do well to develop drink ing sickness immediately. Lines will form in front of doctors oflicss and stretch back six blocks in each dI- rection. Patients may approacl four abreast until further notice.
