which he will invite the public TO ask
him any question in public that they

scored a decisive hit. 1t is entirely
different from anything yet seen on

The Child Thou Gavest Me- opens
many avenues for thought, for it
presents slice of life made into a
vividly real screen drama. And
while it is bold and startling, amaz-

The story itself concerns the
strange case of a bridegroom who a
few moments after the ceremony
finds his wife clasping to her breast
baby whose father she refuses to
name. The husband is thunder
struck. His best friend has been
chum of the girl he has married; his

Thomas Boyle yesterday, was spent
in Danville, Va. 1t was the worst
New Years day I remember. l was
bucked and gagged and lugged to
hospital"
Mr.. Boyle was not visiting Dan
Vile for the first time. He had been
resident there for nearly year IN
a confederate prison. He had only
returned from a brief excursion or
week into the surrounding country
lust before Christmas he dug hole
in the wall and he and three other
prisoners made their way out, but
his companions were quickly cap
tured.
A few days later M. Boyle was at
tackled by pneumonia and many times
wished that he was back within the
walls. But he did not give himseh
UP. hoping somehow to make MS way
beyond the southern lines. A day or
two before New Years he was hid
ing in a corn shock, sick and hungry.
He saw a persimmon tree a short
distance away laden with belated
fruit. He went to ii and filled his
cap. AS he turned he looked into the
end of musket barrel in the hands

He was taken before a colonel who
commented good humoredly but dis
respectfully upon his appearance and
ordered him to be taken back to DAN
Vile. The colonel lightened the jour-
ney by joshing him along the way.
He was mounted on the back Of a
bony horse, for which the colonel
said he hoped to find a saddle at the
next farmhouse. In the meantime a
piece Of carpet was the only protec-
tion Mr.. Boyle had against the saw
like vertebrae.
"How do you like the steed, Yank?"
asked the colonel.
1T fits in we'll with everything
else I've seen of the Confederacy,"
replied Mr.. Boyle, whereupon the
colonel joined in the laugh of the
guard and bystanders.
BY the time he reached Danville
Mr.. Boyle was in serious condition
and the authorities felt that here was
one prisoner they would not have to
trade for a good confederate. He
was taken to the hospital. But for
his capture. it is the belief Of Mr..
Boyle that he would not have sur
vived the war between the states.

THE SENIORITY RULE

The United States senate is all upset again its
seniority rule which automatically gives committee
chairmanships the members of longest service The
president is frankly disturbed and the public keeny
interested.
1t appears that of the most important chair
mashps in the in danger of passing into the
hands of independents who cannot be depended to
cooperate with the administration majority Thus the
smooth working of party policies is said to be endangered
This seniority rule is thing that concerns both par
ties alike. in the long 1t is rule too whose merit
varies wonderfully with circumstances depending the
changing character of the Seniors thnseves. When it
gives the committees chamen who are both able and 10y
al to their party it is considered good ruk otherwise
is bad But good bad, the senate has never had the
courage to change it.

prospect of party ieguarty in positions of power The
