ATTORNEY SURELY A WONDER
But Old Darkys Admiration Must
Have Been Embarrassing Under
the Circumstances.

In Alabama they tell of prosecut.
ing attorney who was so uniformly
successful with his cases that he be-
came both the terror Of evfl-doers In
the vicinity and the admiration Of all,
especially the dusky portion of the
population.
Upon his withdrawal from office he
was at once sought out by those
charged with crime. Much to his dis
gust, the first two cases that he de-
fended resulted in the conviction of
his clients. An aged darby, named Joe
Clinton, who had watched his prosecu-
lions with wonder and who looked
on with equal amazement now he con-
Quoted the defense, met the attorney
just after his second defeat.
"Mfstah CAL" said the old chap, in
awed tones, "yo' shore is wonder.
NO matter which side you is on, they
goes to the pen just the same."-Mil-
waukee Sentinel.

No Labor Saver.

A travelling man was eating in a
stuffy little restaurant one very hot
day where there were no screens at
windows or doors. The proprietress
herself waited on her customers and
"shooed" flies from the table while do
Ing so. Her energetic but vain efforts
attracted the attention and reused the
sympathy of the travelling man, who
said:
wouldn't 1t be better to have your
windows and the door screenedY'
"Well, yes, I suppose that would

ment's reflection, "but don't yon think
1t would look kinder lazylike ?"-Har-

Dy putting his respect for the law
strongly in evidence. For the law is
the law. If 1t is poor law, 1t should
be changed. But until 1t is changed,
1t should be obeyed-whether 1t re-
lates to the shooting Of game birds or
10 the use OF liquor or to the speed
OF automobiles or to murder or to
anarchy. Many people who would
hotly resent the charge that they are
anarchists take delight In evading the
laws and in making sport of the laws.
Every thinking man must realize
that this Twentieth century civiliza-
alton is too complex to be sane, safe
and sober. Medical philosophers are
unanimous in declaring that we Amer
leans live too hard and too fast; that
our rapid ways are harmful both to
the individual and to the race; that
we should slow up. We are, to use the
homely old phrase, burning the candle
at both ends. Men try to succeed In
business, to rule in politics, to be So
cial leaders-all at the same time.
To crowd dissimilar things together
has become a national characteristic.
Our avocations are often as wearing
as our vacations; we play even harder
than we work. Thus to crowd two
or more lives into one is to borrow
Of nature. She is hard creditor and |
she always eXacts payment.
One cannot, of course, indict whole
nnOnIn Thorn or "a
sane, safe and sober people in Ameri-
ca. But a society that demands or
even countenances such recklessness
Is In need Of reformation. 1t would
be interesting startling-to know
how many men and women put them
selves in an early grave by going the
pace that kills.

solemn and touching Is the peal which

Competition is going to be keen this

isn't true. For there is something
new every time New Years day comes
around.
There are several things that arr
new at New Years beside the New
Year. There's new chance. There's
a new responsibility. There's a new
balance IN the Bank of Time. There's
a new bank book. So, what will the

year?
Rev. John Sherman had right to
make his reasonable request" if rrac-
ticing what one breaches gives that
right. His "three score and ten" we're
busy years. He was born at Dedl liam,
Essex, England, and before he was
twenty-One he was an A. B. and A. M.
of Trinity college, Cambridge, a min
lister of the Church of England ard
Puritan on his way across the Atlantic
to the Massachusetts Bay colony.
There was no church for him, Since
the only three in existence-BostOn,
Salem and Watertown-had efficient
ministers. So he was one of the "orig-
inal planters" of Wethersfeld, Conn,
and watcher" 1634-40. Then he
was one of the founders Of Milford,
New Haven plantation. Next he was
a magistrate representing Milford in
the New Haven colony and also
charged with the duty Of dividing land.
Meanwhile he preached wherever op-
portunity offered.
In 1647 he became the minister Of
the Watertown church. There he |
preached till his death In 1885. Church |
and state were pretty much the same
thing In those days, so the village az
fairs kept him busy man. He found
time, however, to publish for many
years an almanac, for which he made
all the astronomical calculations and
wrote the text, He was also the first
fellow and OveFseer of Harvard uni
Eersity. Incidentally he also found time

BIELASKI MADE A THRILLING
ESCAPE FROM CAPTORS

Mexico City, June 29.-Escaping
from his bandit kidnappers after four
days of captivity, A. Bruce Bielaski,
former head of the American depart
ment of Justices investigation bureau
has returned to Mexico City.
Covered with dust, unshaven and
showing plainly the marks of his i'm
prisonment in the mountains of More,
los, Bielaski was taken to his apart
ment where his wife and a half dozen
friends greeted him.
His friends declared the former
American official had escaped from
his captors at Tetecai, walking the
80 miles to Cuernavaca, near which
he was captured last Sunday while
motoring.
Jules Lacaud, head Of the Mexico
City banking firm which is under
stood to have furnished $4,000 fol
the ransom on the order Of Mr.. Bic
laaki's New York company, said he
had been authorized to state that
Bielaski eluded his captors before the
money was paid. Biel2ski suffered nc
more i'll effects than might be expect
ed from four days Of roughing it in
the mountains.
Dozens of automobiles carrying
Americans who since Sunday have
tried to get in contact with the ban
dts retured to the capital last night
each person telling a different YER
sion Of the affair and ascribing credi
for Bielaski's safe return to severa
sources.

the Providentially prepared people
who colonized the hills. The Scotch
Ir:shmen. however, were not al
saints. they drank and had tne!r
builies who gloried IN a fight and
thoroughly enjoyed a victory, but
the rencounter was usually fistlcutf.
Every Old muster ground could tell
Of many bloody conhicts-broken
noses, bitten ears, gashed faces,
chewed thumbs and mashed mouths,
but there were no dead left on the
field. They were, many Of them, so
called affairs of honor, and others
purely contests for the palm of ply
steal manhood. In fact, the people
were so drunken with their victory
over the mother country that they
lust seemed naturally to crave to viii
little personal victories over each
other.
Duels and fstcuffs continued to
be practiced in the state up to the
Civil war. They became less and less
frequent in the closing years Of The
first half Of the nineteenth century
end were finally tabooed by the peo-
pie.
The weapon used 5y the duelist
was most commonly the long barrel
duelng pistol. They were beautiful
" ornamented, kept in handsome
plush cases, and finally became the
heirlooms of the families whose pro
genitors used them. They are the
relics, not of harbsrous people, but
of people who had yielded TO bar
barous custom.
The Fisticuff fraternity left no
relics behind them for they used no
weapons. The use Of a rock, knife
or stick was considered dishonorahic
and the man who resorted to artificial
aid was forever afterwards under the
public ban. They were not bad men
but usually reputable citizens, like
the duelists, friendly and neighborly
but guided by wrong ideal of true
manhood. Many Of them were lifted
into a higher moral atmosphere with
the incoming tides of the Gospel CT
Christ and it's handmade secular edu-
cation. Others wore their scars
proudly when their steps were totter-
ing, and even then their shrunken
frames would straighten and their
eyes, dimmed with age, would bright
en- at the news of fight. The incor-
rigible passed out by way of the
grave just as the old topers and drug
fiends are passing out today.
The clergy, the school masters and
the fruits of their labors, consecrated
men and women, have wrought Won
derful changes for the better among
the constituents of our old state and
among the citizens of our republic.
We should not Judge the faults and
sins of our fathers harshly. One es-
sential rule of criticism in reading
and studying Gods own word is De-
velopment. Men must be judged by
the standards of the day in which
they lived and not by those standards
that have been the results of centu-
ries of progress and development.
Their faults and wrong ideals of life
may shock US, but we must remember
that a century of development has
come between Us and them. They
were great and honorable men in
their day and would, perhaps, have
been greater than the men today if
they had been given the opportuni-
ties which have been made possible to
us through their agency, politically
and morally.

FASCISTI WANTS
 . GIURIATI NAMED
Party's Choice For Head Of Plume Free State Is Not Regarded Fav-
 orably By Government, Is Report

Fascist dentifed. with the recent coup at Plume are insisting upon the appointment of Giovanni Giuriati, former chief of Gabrielle d'Annunzio's cabinet, as head of the government of tie Plume free state. The Italian gov ernment, however, is understood to have declared that such course would be in violation of the treaty of Rapallo the agreement with Jugo- Slavia under which the Plume free state was established.
 A news agency dispatch from Rome today said Giuriati had been pro- claimed head of the Plume govern ment but no direct advices have con frmed this report and such action would appear from the present dis patch to have been out of line with the Italian governments intention.
 The Italian authorities at Plume, who are trying to restore order and establish a'government to replace the overthrown Zanella regime have not decided, according to the latest Plume adrices whether to have the Plume assembly elect a chief to sue ceed Zanella or call new elections.
