Msrdl araa at New Orleans.

The New Orleans observance of the
Hardi Gras has been growing steadily
since It's establishment In 1880, and is
now numbered among the most bril-
liant of the public and social festivi-
ties Of the United States. His Ma
jesty Rex, the king of the carnival,
first rode at the head of body OF
Arabic troops in honor Of the Russian
Grand Duke Alexis In 1872. The ex-
pertinent was success, and Rex be-
came an established favorite. The
Mystic CSewe of Comus," however,
antedates this portion of the carnival
by some Is years, for 1t was in 1857
that the first Mystic Crewe" appeared
in a fantastic night parade Of gor-
geous floats, manned by masked rev
eiers. But so many additions have
been made to the Mardi Gras that now
Rex and Comus are only two features
of magnificent celebration which en-
braces the entire city.

RED cow UNDER SUSPICION
silly English Superstition That her
MIX Would Make the Hair
OF Baby Red.

A director OF London dairy COM
pany told a correspondent recently at
a dairy show circumstance illustrat-
ing belief that existed not long ago
In connection with cows milk.
1t was in the days when many Lon
don dairies kept few cows at the
back OF the establishment, partly to
give the impression that the daily milk
supply was all derived from these
cows, or to enable the proprietor to
meet the wants OF his customers In
special cases for infant feeding. The
shop had been closed for the day, when
a woman called to ask for new milk
for baby. This was supplied.
Shortly after the woman called again
and asked, Can you tell me the color
of the COW you took that milk fromT'
The owner of the establishment said
he was not quite sure, but would go
and see. He went and returned say
ting: TT was black COW, but why

well, sir" she replied, "if 1t had
been a red cow my mistress would have
asked you to change the milk, as the
baby would then have had red hair,
and she does not want that. London

STORIES TOLD OF WEBSTER
interesting TO Learn That Marvellous
Orator Was, After All, Much
Like the Ordinary Man.

We hear SO much about the leonine
Quence" Of Daniel Webster that 1t is
refreshing TO read an anecdote that
presents the man In a more human and
less imposing light
Once, says q chronicier OF life In
old Washington, Webster arrived late
at concert that the famous Jenny
Lind was giving and entered just as
she was TO sing Hail Columbia as
an encore. When she sang the drst
note Webster jumped TO his feet, and
when she reached the chorus he joined
his powerful bass voice with hers. In
vain Mrs. Webster tried to drag him
back into his seat. He supported the
singer In every chorus and each time
when the song was ended he made a
deep bow to her and waved his hat
Miss Lind curtsied to him In return,
and he bowed again. To the delight
of the audience they continued the lit
tie comedy of etiquette for some time.
One day when Webster was going to
make an address his wife brought
their little son to hear his father. The
orator began In the thunderous tone
for which he was famous "Wiu any
man dare to say" he demanded and
then paused to sweep his breathlees
audience with a Jovian glance.
But the climax of this swe-inspiring
sentence was lost In gale OF laugh
ter, for wee voice promptly piped
from the gallery: "Oh, no. papa, NO
No F-Youth's Companion.

MANY LEGENDS OF THE OAK
Trees Grandeur and Beauty Seem to
Have Impressed Each Ancient
Race In Turn.

The ancient races, struck with the
noble aspect Of the oak, have in all
ages enveloped II In the clouds of their
legends and carried 1t back to the re-
motest antiquity. or this class was
the holm oak which In the days of
Pliny still existed near Rome, on the
trunk Of which was an Etruscan In
scription in letters of brass stating
that before the existence of the Eternal
city 1t was already the object of popu-
lar veneration. The Roman naturalist
also asserts that In the environs of
Heracles, in the kingdom of Pontus,
there was a tradition that two oaks
which overshadowed the altar of Jupi-
ter Stragius had been planted by Her
cules. The origin of certain trees Is
lost in even remote antiquity
The imposing terror of the Her
cynian forest has deeply impressed all
those who have described Germany,
and Pliny and Tacitus especially. The
aged oaks of It's somber wales, where
wandered the elk and the aurochs, es-
pecially aroused the admiration of the
Roman historian. The majestic gran
deur of the oak In this forest" he says
"surpasses all imaginable belief; this
tree has never been touched with the
ak; II Is contemporary with the crea-
ton of the world and appears to be the
symbol of Immortality"

A Yankee Samson,

For long time Grandfather Higgins
insisted that he was very light sleep
er and that slight noise would al
ways waken him on the other hand
grandmother was sure that he could
sleep sounder than the ordinary per
son-so sure, indeed, that she declared
she could cut off his whiskers some
night without his knowing it until
morning. Grandfather retorted that
II she could succeed in doing 1t, he
would go with her to visit their son
In Idaho.
For few days grandmother said
no more about 1t; apparently both had
forgotten the conversation. But one
morning when grandfather awoke his
throat and the lower part of his face
felt unusually cold. He sat up in bed,
put his hand TO his face, and utter
ing little cry, jumped up and hur-
ried TO the mirror. Sure enough, his
whiskers were gone. He looked round
in bewilderment and saw a mass of
grayishwhite hair and q pair Of grand
mothers shears on a chair beside the
bed. Grandmother was right -

TreeS Slow DEVELOPMENT.

The slow development Of the trunks
OF certain trees at once calls up Inn
ages of immobility and eternity. The
dragons blood tree OF the Canaries
awakens such thoughts. Thrice ia
nous for its strange looks, Its vast
size and Its antiquity this dragons
blood tree is equally SO for the sta
tionary condition of Its growth. In
the legend of Teneriffe we are told
that this singular tree was worshlped
by the Guanches, its original inhabi-
tants; and 1t is related that in the
Fifteenth century mass was celebrat-
ed In the interior OF It's trunk, fact
even lately attested by the vestiges
which were seen OF little altar.
This tree grows 30 slowly that af-
ter tolerably long interval OF time
II was not possible to verify any
change In its circumference.

BLANTON AGAIN
A Discredit to the House and
Should Be Kicked Out,
Says Texas Member
Frame Up" on Colleagues
Is Quickly Exposed

Washington. - A knowledge of
"frame-up" methods" seems to be one
result of Congressman Blanton's in
timacy with anti-unionists. At any
rate the congressman attempted a
frame up" on his colleagues, but the
result was disastrous. In fact, Blan-
ton came near being punched in the
jaw by an irate colleague.
Blanton made a speech in Texas
recently in which he showed chow the
taxpayers money is eaten up by buy
ing whiskey TASKS for congressman
To prove his point he exhibited flask
which he secured from the clerk of the
stationery room in the national capi-
tol
Blanton's colleagues were angry
and he was called liar in every
known language. At one time husky
sergeant-at-arms DETECTED a short
arm jab aimed at the tale bearer, who
quickly slipped out of the house
through one of the side doors.
1t was shown that members of the
house are allowed 1925 a session for
stationery expenses for themselves
and clerks. Blanton asked the clerk
of the stationery room for whiskey
flask. When told that that article was
not handled Blanton requested that
one be secured for him. The accom-.
modating clerk placed an order fol
a fancy pint flask in a Philadelphia
business house. Then Blanton took
the flask to Texas, where he exhibit.
ed it as evidence against his col
leagues.
In condemning these methods, Con.
gresham Garner, of Texas, was
cheered when he said
Il speak the sentiment of every
member of the Texas delegation wher
| tell you that we hang our heads
in shame every time Blanton, of Tex.
as, is referred to as our colleague.
If the rules did not prevent me
from saying it, would say that 43C
men believe ut this moment that
Thomas Blanton, of Texas, is a dis
credit to the house of representatives
and should be kicked out"

The BOGUS BONUS

The house of representatives passes
the soldiers bonus bill.
Congressman Schall, republican
Minnesota, said just before the vote:
THE present bonus bill, with nc
provision allowed for amendment, is
another bankers drag proposition
But | must be for this pawnbrokers
bonus bill, because am bound the
boys shall have bonus, even if they
do have to contribute the bankers
toll in order to get it,"
That is the estimate Of those con
gressmen who really wanted to make
good on the bonus promise.
But the vast majority of congress-
men-republicans and democrats
who put the bonus bill through the
house know that that bill never will
become a law
The bill as passed has absolutely
no provision for raising money to pay
the bonus.
For months the bonus has been bat
ted back and forth and congress and
the politicians of both parties were
not thinking about the soldiers, but
about themselves.
Next November every member of
the house must stand for reelection.
They wanted the soldier vote
Between now and November the
senators-republicans and democrats
who must run next November can
each make a bonus record" by max
ing bunk speeches. The other two
thirds of the senate-republicans and
being up for re-elec-
tion-can keep the bill from passing
and so save President Harding from
the veto he must write if he stands
by his repeated statements.
So there you are The bonus bill
is bogus. 1t is bunk-Cincinnati

BREAKING In
Miners Attacks OH Steel
Trust Section Meeting
Success

Washington n.-The praise agents"
of the coal owners are busily explain
ing how these l2w-abiding citizens
fear prosecution if they enter into an
agreement with the central competi-
tive field miners Attorney General
Daugherty has stated in a letter to
Congressman Bland that no prosecu-
tions would follow such a course, but
the coal owners have become so vir-
tuous that simple minded people sug-
gest they may turn back to the public
some of their extortions.
Another feature of the strike are
gains made by the miners in western
Pennsylvania, and especially in that
Gibraltar of -unionism, the Con-
nellsville coke country The success
of the union miners is indicated by
the fact that the price of coke, which
is essential in steel making, has in
creased in the Pittsburgh district.
The steel trust, which controls
these fields, is making strong denial
that the unionists have entered their
bailiwick, but the fact remains that
their company unions" and other pa
ternalisms have not secured justice
for these workers.
Coal owners have unorganized Con-
nellsville miners within their grasp.
The miners are not permitted to have
a checkweighman, and they are COM
PEELED to mine from $500 to $500
pounds for a ton of coal These min
ers are not paid for dead" work,
which is necessary before coal can be
mined. In union mines, roof prop
ping, track laying, rock removing and
other dead" work is paid for by the
hour.

A wonderful bit Of wood carving In
the museum OF the Minnesota Histori-
cal society was done by a deaf and
dumb Chippewa Indian at White
Earth reservation.
inside small whisky bottle are the
figures Of a boy and dog standing be-
side large wheel. Every bit Of the
construction Is OF wood, which is
brightly colored. How the Indian got
all his figures through the narrow
neck OF the bottle, and how he got
his grouping arranged and stuck to-
gether Is mystery. Even the neck
OF the bottle Is corked with big
wooden plug on the inside as well as
on the outside.
Nobody knows how the Indian got
the wood inside the bottle, and the In
dian, being dumb, never told.

strictly union made, and every pack
age bears the union label. These Gig

Witte received a bunch of valuable
orders, which goes to show that they
are selling all over town. If you

Good Whistler story.

"One Of Whistlers stories was OF
Burne-J ones and himself going to a
country fair and wandering into a
sideshow TO see tattooed lady-and
he was afraid TO say how many sub
jects were tattooed on heron one knee
the American Eagle, on the other the
Union Jack, and on her back Leonar-
dos Last Supper. And she really was
amazing, and they enjoyed it hugely
Some four or five years afterward, in
London, Burne-Jones burst In upon
Whistler, and told him the same tat
tooed lady was at the Aquarium, and
they must go and see her again. And
they went and she had grown very
stout in the meanwhile and when they
looked at the Last Supper, all the
apostles wore a broad grin. From

"originsl Package"

In American constitutional law this
means the package in which goods are
shipped from one state TO another.
The United States courts held that
where an article Is imported into one
state from another, IL does not lose the
protection of the Interstate commerce
clause, while the original package re-
mains unbroken and is the property OF
the importer. Interpretation of these
decisions made 1t possible TO evade
state laws by selling direct to the Gus
toners in original packages" Tire
Importance OF this is In Its bearing on
the sale OF cigarettes and other com
modities about which state laws differ.

sidering this evasion of the transpor-
