JERRY's TOMBSTONE

Calls first glimpse Of her fance's
homestead was not encouraging. Jerry
had taken her there to visit bis moth.
or and become acquainted with the
surroundings which might later be the
girls future home. Jerry ardently
hoped that 1t would be. His mother
had been satisfied and happy on
the old farm through many years
of her marriage; and as Jerry's bust

he knew that he would be able to do

heart was accustomed to city home,

lately her growing paleness and slen.
derness, even while he laughed ut her
fears.
1.-THE doctor says ! ought to he In
the country" she had told him. 1.-THE
doctor says l must try to grow strong"
So Jerry and his mother talked the
thing over with their usual sympa-
thetic understanding, and decided
that the farm would be the place for
Gail.
But when Jerry took his beloved to
visit, 1t was winter. And while she
loved the tree-bordered grounds, and
the rambling, picturesque old house,
Calls first and unpleasant impression
was Of the cemetery close by.
"Why, dearie." said Jerry's mother,
wOnderingly, II never mind the Gene
tery. Sort Of think Of it-when do
think Of II at alias Gods Acre.
Nothing there to harm one, dearie;
just peace and restful quiet" Jerry
actually laughed.
Mother would feel lonesome away
from those tombstones," he said, "espe-
cially she would miss old Jerry's."
Jeremiah was my brother" Mrs.
Holc0mb explained, FUSED to live with
me here long after Jerry's father died
and the boy had gone to the city.
Jeremiah was particular about his
tombstone, left money for 1t, and he
wanted 1t In reasonable distance from

Jerry was disappointed; there was

had so wanted his little sweetheart to

evening meal. to drive his mother down
to the village doctor. She was ailins

her journey to accompany them, In

Beautiful Cuban Tree.

The rose apple is one Of the lit
tie known but very beautiful fruit
trees of Cuba. Although 1t has been
grown there for more than 200 years
1t is never found In orchards, but only
In gardens.
Few trees have such exquisite leaves,

the attention of all travellers In the

lustrous; the fruit only about two

COLUMBUS

n American lady who has been doing relief
work in Armenia has found in that country a gen
orally accepted belief that Christopher Columbus
was neither Spaniard nor Italian, but Armenian,
and it is proposed to erect to the memory Of the dis
coverer Of America a monument on the top OF
Mount Ararat.
1t is not asserted. as we understand it, that
Christopher was actually born in Armenia. The
story is that he was OF an Armenian family some Of
whose members had moved westward, with the re.
suit that Genoa claims the honor Of being the birth
place Of the navigator, and Spain the honor Of send
ing him on his way across the western ocean.
This may all be true, and in any case, what
more appropriate place could there be for a monu.
ment to Columbus than the top Of Mount Ararat,
where rested the ark, commanded by the most dis:
tinguished navigator of ancient times? Moreover,
according to the method of Interpretation cham
Pioned by Mr.. Bryan, Columbus was the direct de.
~scendant of Noah, for that patriarch and his family
were the only human beings left on earth after the
great food. Hence, not only Columbus, but all
the rest of US, are Noah's children, and we who are
merely cousins Of Columbus should be pleased to
see honor done to him on the spot made famous as
the stopping place of the man who shares with
Adam the prestige of being the father of the race.

EVENING. May 5. 1922.
MAKE NO DISTINCTIONS.

1t may, be that congress will be asked to make
special provision for the inclusion of contributions
to the Woodrow Wilson foundation in the list of
payments which are exempt from taxation under
the income tax law. The question of the status OF
these contributions has just been raised, and Secre-
tary Mellon has directed that an adverse ruling
made BY one of his bureau chiefs be reconsidered,
and that the whole subject be re-investigated.
Contributions to Mckinley and Roosevelt me
mortal funds have been held to come within the list
of exemptions, but the bureau decision has been
that the Wilson foundation contributions do not
come within this list, for what reason we have not
seen stated. The attention of Secretary Mellon
having been called to the subject, he has directed a
review, and if it is held that because of technical
differences in organization or otherwise, steps will
undoubtedly be taken in congress to amend the tax
law so that the Wilson contributions may be placed
on the, same basis with the others.
IL the treasury department. finds it impossible
under the law to make this adjustment congress
should act. 1t would be deplorable for any dis
elimination to be made as among these three funds.
The purpose behind each of these movements is pa
triotic and humanitarian, and this is not changed
by the fact that in each case the admiration of in
dividuals for an eminent man has prompted them
to action. There has been some question as to the
opportuneness of the Wilson fund movement, and
this, by the way, is also true of the movement for
the Roosevelt memorial. Decisions on this point
have been made by those who have initiated the re-
spective movements, and must be made by individ-
uals who are invited to contribute. But the man
who contributes to any of these funds contributes
to the incubation. of high ideals among American
citizens, to the promotion of education of the high
est and most useful type, and no technicality should
be permitted to stand in the way of their being
placed on a basis of exact equality in so far as the
government of the country is related to them.

Representatives Of the regular and irregular

Mr.. De Valera will have none of it. He opposes
an election or plebiscite except for all Ireland, and
he demands that not only the treaty but the finished
constitution be submitted to the voters at the same

De Valera has always been willing to cooperate
with other people, provided the other people coop
Grated exactly his way. Beyond that, he is incap-
able of going. During the entire series of negotia-
tons for the settlement of Irish affairs he has played
the part of an agitator in certain directions and an
obstructionist in others. His insistence on an eles-
ton for all Ireland is futile, and indicates his inca
pacity to deal with facts as they are. Whether it
would be better or worse for ireland to operate un-
der a single government, it is a manifest fact that
for the time being no such solution is possible.
Ulster cannot be brought into union with the rest Of
Ireland under a single government by force, and it
is quite certain that without force, she will not come
at this time. The only prospect for union, and the
application OF common sense could make it a very
good prospect, is for southern ireland to accept the

The assumption by the army. representative

De Valera has admitted it, and his only hope is that

he can render the people so dissatisfied with the
provisional government that they will be willing to
turn to him and approve his extreme policies.
