They Learned by Mail.

None who knows the character of
the best correspondence schools
doubts their power for good. They
have sent many young men and
women, Of the type that is willing
to toll by the evening lamp, to sue
cess which they never would have
attained without the help of the
learn by mali institutions. The
young man in the picture, bounding
up the cottage steps to tell his bride
that he has just been made superin-
tendent of the works and that she
may now have maid and grand

There are thousands of him. TAX

this week appear two sad examples
of young men who learned things by
mail and diverted their knowledge to
unpleasant purposes. One of these
men was a freshman at New Hamp-
shire College who took a correspond
ence course in hypnotism, threw his
room mate into trance and then
was unable to bring him out of it.
A doctor and all the known anti
dotes for hypnotism we're needed to
bring the subject back to conscious
ness. The graduate Of the course in
hypnotism says he is through.
The other case is even more alarm
ing. A young man arrested in Wash
ington and suspected of several hun
dred robberies had in his possession
a diploma certifying that he was
graduate of California correspond
ence school of safe work.; and that
he was proficient not only in safe re-
pairing and combination setting but
in safe opening. He expressed to the
Washington police belief that some
of his classmates are operating in
New York. Like the New Hampshire
college man, the prisoner says he is
going to reform, or, at least, that he
intends to become Congressman;
but what about his fellow alumni in

Long nights spent in becoming a

whether his intentions are honor

course in chemistry will lead en-
tirely to the laboratory and not some

The New Divorce Law.
Merely Five Years Desertion Not
Enough to Dissolve a Marriage.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: have
read so much about the new divorce
law, otherwise known as the Swift di-
vorce law, and have been consulted on
its provisions so often that ! feel it
would be advisable through the press TO
dispel the erroneous beliefs and impress
sions that have evidently been created
by too loose discussion Of the subject
The impression seems to prevail
among laymen that the new law has
added FIVE years desertion TO the pre-
vious solitary ground for absolute di.
vorce. Is it not advisable to correct this
impression? For example: If man de-
serted his wife twenty years ago and
she could have at any time found out
his whereabouts through his family,
friends. business associates or fellow
employees. but never made an attempt
or IL. every few years she heard authen-
tic Information that her husband was
alive, her marriage could not be dis
solved under the new law. II cannot
be too forcibly stated that the marriage
can be dissolved under the new law
only where
(a) The absence has been for more
than five successive years.
(b) Every reasonable and possible ef-
fort must have made to obtain informa-
tion to learn the whereabouts OF the
missing person.
(c) Said efforts and information must
have brought such results as to raise the
presumption OF death.
The omission of any one of the above
three material and essential elements in
any given case excludes that case from
availing itself of tho new law.
To make the point clearer, where the
disappearance occurred In such a man.

tion OF death. only the most thorough
and painstaking investigation and search
could overcome the natural Inference
that the person is alive but merely his

'They were all very kind" said
Mr.. CROKER with a chuckle, "and one
man asked where Orby had been
trained. He dropped his monocle
when I said in my back yard in
Ireland"

done much of his training work at
Glencairn, though the finishing
touches were put on his Derby prep
aration at the Curragh. When Rho

From Orby and mares bought with
discrimination or bred at home.
many OF them having the blood of
the American horse Americus and
the Irish sire Gallinule, Mr.. CROKER
bred so many good horses that the
fanciers of England and France sent
their best mares to Glencairn in such
numbers that his Irish stud became
very profitable investment. The
early death of Orby was blow to
his plans, but with his usual sound
business sense Mr.. CROKER continued
to pick out the best sires in the
country.
OF late years the breeding of horses
occupied practically all Of Mr.. CRoKERs
time, a pursuit in which his wife was
as interested as he was. Few have
enjoyed such distinction on the turf
as he gained, and it had for foun-

A Jar Of Jonqulls.

1t stands upon my window sill
A Jar that long ago
An ancient potter shaped upon
His wheel with patience slow,
Yearning as plastic clay took on
The grace of curve and line
To garland it with asphodels,
A gift for Flora's shrine.
1t saw--if vases ever sec
The vestal virgins dance.
Quenched Homer's thirst. and knew the
truth
OF Sapphos last romance.
1t heard-for, 10 this vase has ears
The Roman legions pass,
And Pan at sunrise piping low
To dryads on the grass.
Wine, oil or water brimmed It's lip
In classic days Of old.
But now 1t overhows with flowers.
The jonquiIs fairy gold;
Surviving centuries OF dust
1t feels the sun once moro.
And, beautiful with bloom, fulfills
The potter's dream of yore.

Blind Boss Buckley.
Two Stories Of the Man Who Ruled
Politics I'm San Francisco.

To THE New York HERALD: The re-
cent death OF San Franciscos blind boss,
Chris Buckley, recalls two stories which
were told to me by reliable informant
Buckley, he said. had working under
him a squad OF bright young men who
made much display of truculent activ-
ity as anti Buckley workers in their sew
eral wards. The boss made such use of
them as, probably, other bosses have
made OF similar agents, and one other
use in which Buckley much delighted,
and which he once frankly explained to
my informant, a newspaper man friendly
to the blind boss.
When Buckley through reliable chan
nels OF information learned OF a candi-
date on the opposition ticket who had a
campaign fund OF such size that it
would be dangerous weapon IL skill
fully used at the proper moment. he
would direct his agents, who masquer-
AIDED as his foes, to kill the chances OF
that candidate The method OF killing
was to strip him of his ammunition be-
fore the real battle began; to present
to his dazzled eyes opportunities to do
effective work here and there; of re-
suits to be accomplished which were
most sought; to smooth out rough places
and quell growing insurrection. evidence
OF which was always supplied. Then
came the stroke: all of these avidly
wished for results could be reached only
by an appropriation Of the candidates
war funds.
This little group OF serious workers re-
ported progress to Buckley with physical
proof OF the killings. proof which in
San Francisco was called among politi-
clans the ringing gold of mercy. Tho
result Of a successful kill was that the
opponent arrived on the firing line not
only without ammunition but with the
added misfortune of being shot at with
his own bullets The whole performance
was one from which the blind boss got
a lot of enjoyment.
The other story was about call which
the late Arthur p German, then Senator
from Maryland. made on Buckley dur
ing a visit to San Francisco. After the
two had talked over the Presidential
campaign then in progress Buckley asked
his visitor If he would permit him to

Beveridge's Notable Victory.

ALBERT j. BEvERIDGE, former United
States Senator from Indiana, won a
notable victory Tuesday in the Re-
publican primaries of that State over
Senator HARRY S. New for the nomi-
nation for the Senate.
BEyERIDGE's triumph is all the more
notable because, while the State or
ganization as such did not take sides,
the politicians and the county papers
generally were for New. 1t has been
widely assumed that the Harding Ad-
ministration has been back of New
IN this fight on account of the warm
friendship between the President and
Senator NEW, but this is not the fact.
The President took the ground, and
wisely, that it was not his place or
the place of his Administration to
enter into this local Indiana contest.
Notwithstanding the lack of direct
Administration support, however,
Senator New must have reaped ad-
vantage from his intimacy with Presi-
dent HARDING, and his membership in
the Senate. The man who is in al
ways has the advantage over the man
who is out.
The Beveridge victory is chiefly a
pessonal one. 1t is in no sense a
political triumph. The political cards
have largely or wholly been against
BEVERAGE.
In the 1912 Presidential campaign
BEvERrDGE, always a liberal, cast in
his lot with THEODORE ROOSEVELT and
this has worked to his disadvantage
ever since with the hardboiled Of the
Republican party. Many of them
we're very bitter against BEvERIDGE
and they have held their bitterness
ever since. But in spite of all this
BEXRJDGE has won from the people
of Indiana a splendid victory. And
he has done this by an extraordinary
campaign of personal contact with
the people themselves throughout the
State.
For two years he has spent great
deal Of his time in crossroads speak
ing, in getting back to the grass
roots. With a man of BEvERIDGE's S
personality and genius on the stump
and platform, consistent and per-
sistent campaign of this kind con-
Quoted with an earnestness that COM
pels conviction is irresistible.
But beyond this personal contact
BEvEErDGE had much to take to the
people = his exceptionally brilliant
record as a United States Senator
from Indiana, his great literary and
historical achievement in the produc-
tion of the Life Of John Marshall" !"
mind rich in knowledge, ripe in
experience, mature personality.
Indiana Republicans were able to
determine the relative stature Of the
two men, New and BEvERrDGE, from
the fact that the record of each in
the United States Senate is well
known to all. In this respect it was
a fair fight. 1t was not case OF the
man untried in Senatorial work con-
testing with the tried man.

Three Toes Sets a Fashion.

Since the capture last fall of old
Three Toes, the champion live stock
killer among the coyotes in Caddo
county, Oklahoma, by a Government
hunter the cattlemen of that part
OF the country have been in a better
frame of mind than they had known
for long time.
The damage that single cattle
killer like Three Toes infiicts can
scarcely be realized except by those
who have seen the results OF a
nights raid on a herd of cattle
or flock of sheep. This supercoyote
was as large as big collie dog and
weighed SO pounds several days after
death. He seemed to kill and MAIN
for the pure joy Of killing. Perhaps
he was actuated by desire to re-
venge himself on man and his four
footed chattels because of the loss OF
a toe in trap in the early days OF
his career. For six years he evaded
capture and death. At last he was
caught in a double trap and promptly
dispatched.

The Port Chester veterans who
have decided to burn the temporary
honor roll which was erected in their
town, thus assuring themselves that
none Of it's parts shall be devoted to
undignified uses, have found sats-
factory solution for problem which
troubles many communities. Wooden
honor rolls already show the disinte-
grating effects of exposure to the ele-

to the flames offers a proper method
of disposing of the materials of which
they are composed.
