He quickly

drew the s15O,o00 prize. He quickly purchased his discharge rom the army and bought a magnificent coun- try estate in Surrey near the ancient town of Dorking. in one of the most picture esque bits of OJd England.
 There he lived the typical life of an English country gentleman. He went to church on Sunday and sat in the family pew. On week days, like Horricks of old. he rode to the hounds and looked after the tf1Iing of his fields. The best people of the countryside Joined him in~the chase
 His money was ample for a time. but eventually some of his specula- tions went bad and he had to give up his country place and come to London. He purchased a tobacco shop and settled down to the life of a small tradesman.
 Penn tried to recoup, but his fi- nancial manipula atlons got from bad to worse. At the beginning of 1914 he found himself poor man once again. The war broke out and Penn rejoined his old regiment as a ser geant. His previous military train- ing enable hum to get I commits sion and he rose rapidly to the rank of captain.
 The war ended and Penn was de m obilized. Soon his soldiers bonus disappeared. Now he is a tramp-an involuntary tramp-going from one factory to another seeking work. Ragged and down and out at heel he avoids the men who were form erly his fellow officers.

Black MOustaches
 And Cigars Are
 Signs of Bad Mer

Chicago, July 25.-Black nous taches may have disappeared from the face of America but the lay public today is as insistent ever before that it's fiction and movie villains wear them.
 This and other popular conceptions of bad men" were pointed out here today by Tom Peete Cross, professor of comparative literature at the Uni versity of Chicago. who was one of the judges in the selection of a S1O,0o0 prize winning scenario from the 27,00O that were entered by amateurs in a picture-play contest recently conducted by the Chicago Daily News.
 "Smooth-shaven faces have been the style ever since nine-tenths of the amateur writers were born" said Dr. Cross. but the great majority of the that their scoundrels should have bold black moustaches. The idea denotes wickedness is an ancient one, that dark hair across the upper lip handed down in folk stories from the Northern European peoples.
 Those blond races have implanted popular beliefs and ideas in the United States today, inheritance tell ing their superstitions to us over and over again. Their folk and fairy :ales are ours. They were always at war with peoples of the southern European nations and grew to asso- ciate the black hair and noustacheS of those enenmies with general villany and wickedness.
 ttThey terrified their children with stories, myths and legends of black whiskered marauders and murderers. Sea raiders and buccaneers of a later period cultivated the sweeping sable moustache as symbol of ferocity and a means of spreading terror. So thoroughly was this superstition inn planted in the popular mind that Americans of nearly all races today unconsciously adopt it.
 Another popular idea about villains as shown by the 27,O0O writers is that cigarettes today are tokens of weak ness and untrustworthiness, - that cigars are symbols of ruthIessness and harshness but that pipes are in dications of sweetness of character. tolerance, strength, map1iness, gentle ness of soul, simple honesty and gen eral heorism.
 "This may seem odd in day when cigartte smoking is very general, but 1t is the survival of strong and vio- lent opinions taken by the public fifty years ago and which lives on in the races unconscious views and come to light in it's writings.

Ordinarily Penn would have been accounted among this worlds lucky ones. From a buck pr.vate in the army he rose To the rank of captain and in addition to that won even a great distinction - that of drawing the winning horse m the Calcutta Sweepstakes. That brought him a sleeps on hard. uncharitable park bench on Thames embankment, both down and out. He is penniIeSS and consequently is friendless.-
 Penn's story is a sad one. Perhaps his urlucklest moment was when he won the Calcutta Sweepstakes. But for that he might now be a we'll ton of trust with some big urm and living, if not in luxury, in plenty and comfort.
 Tabulated briefly Penn's Ire is as follows:
 1S9S-Private in the British army.
 1909 - Won $150.000 in the Cal cutta Sweepstakes.
 191O-Living the life of a country squire in Surrey
 1914-Rej ejoined the army and was prom oted to a captafncy.
 l922-Sleeping penn11ess on Thames embankme ent.
 Penn's career in the army was dis tinguished. As trooper in the twenty-first Lancers, he rode in the famous charge against the Arabs at Omdurman and was awarded the Order for bravery in the face of ei,- emy fire.
 In 1909 he bought a ticket from a barrack room cOmrade for the Cal cutta Swee epstakes. He drew Kins Edwards horse Minora ana Penn

Greene Has Impor-
tant Assignment

Continued from rage One
the representative of Vermont
first district His reputation in
regard has, indeed, spread con
siGerably further than across the
rotunda into the Senate, and every
l;ttle while something appears in
print paying tribute to his serVic-
es in the interests of the military
establishment.
A case in point appears in the
Amy and Navy Register of Nov
ember II, which prints an editor
ial on "The Election and Service
Legislation. - In referring to the
effect of the election on the per-
sornel of committees in the Sixty
eighth Congress, and touching up
on the consequent difficulty of car
rying out policies of the admins
tration, the article says; chose
who have to do in the Senate with
amy legislation, at all events, will
be strengthened by the presence
OF Representative Greene of Yer
mont, long a member of the House
Military Committee, on which he
served with ability and advantage
to the military establishment. 1t
is hoped that he will be assigned a
place on the Senate Military Com
mittee, as we'll as on the sub-com-
mittee to do with army appropri-
atoms"
Committee assignments in the
Senate rest primarily with the
Committee on Committees, which
carvasses the field of eligibles at
the opening Of each new Congress
and, after consulting with the Sen
atcrs themselves as to their indy
idual preferences, proceeds to
place them, presumably upon the
basis of then greatest effectiveness,
within certain limitations, such
as vacancies, experience, etc, etc.
A survey OF the situation with re-
spect to the Military Committee
iscloses that there will probably
be three Republican and two DEM
ocIatic vacancies at the opening of
the new Congress, due to the Vicis-
STUDIES of election, and it would
appear that there is every reason
fol assigning Col Greene to- one
OF these places on the Republican
side of the list,

SHERBROOKE.
MAN WILL FACE
GRAVE CHARGE
Stands Trial for Assault
On Wife Before Judge
Lemay

SHERBROOKE, P. O., Nov. 81
Rosario Bergevin, who brutally
assaulted his wife q few days ago,
fractuling her skull, will appear
before District Magistrate Lemay
oq Wednesday charged with as
saulting his wife and causing her
bodily harm, as well as being
charged with an attempt to com
nit suicide.
10th charges are being laid by
the Chief Of Police, and it is un-
derstood that it is impossible to
lay q charge of attempted murder
against the accused inasmuch as
his wife would be the only witness
and the law prohibits a wife from
gi' ing evidence against her hus-
band in cases Of murder, treason
ana a few other instances.
Rosario Bergevin has come into
considerable prominence among
the police authorities of late, and it
is stated that when he was recent
etii IiACN " OllC IlOIilIl III Jan
for failure to support his wife, the
sentence was given somewhat as a
MEASURE Of protection for Mrs
BCrgoyin who was in constant fear
o. him
Somewhat over a year ago, Ber-
gevin, who is a tailor, came into
prominence when he was accorded
a contract for making police uni
folnls. He was working for AL
delman Trudeau at the time and
the matter evoked considerable
publicity.
Reports from the St. Vincent de
Paul Hospital state that Mrs. Bel'-
gev.n is progressing very nicely,
although she still suffers consider
Fably. The operation, undertaken by
I'f. LedouX, was quite successful
and consisted largely in cleaning
out and arranging the wound, and
| it is now confidently expected that
she viii recover. While Rosario
Edgevin was in the hospital, a
member of the police force was in
constant attendance.
