CROMWELL HAD LIGHTER SIDE
Incident Recorded of Him Seems to
Prove That He Could Enjoy
Practical Joke.

1t is told of Oliver Cromwell, the
English leader and soldier, that he
had a great love of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense of
others, according to the impulse of
the moment. An example of this trait
is shown in the following incident.
Cromwell had very beautiful daugh-
ter, and at the time he came into
power in England one of his attend
ants took fancy to this young lady.
One day Cromwell went into his
daughters room and was surprised to
see his page on his knees making a
declaration of his love to his daughter.
"What does this mean?" demanded
Cromwell
MAY it please your worship" STAN
mered the frightened page, II am in
love with yonder waiting maid
pointing to her as he spOke-"and l
have been beseeching your daughter
to use her influence in my behalf"

the waiting maid "to have this fellow

shall be married Immediately" and it

CAN'T KEEP HERO ON FARM
French Veteran of World War, Re.
turning to Paris, Succumbs to
Citys Lure.

Paris.-The problem Of how to keep
'em down on the farm after they have
seen Paree doesn't apply only to the
Americans.
For instance, there is Felix Queven,
who before the war, was farmland
in Brittany. During the war he col
lected five wounds, the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, the Medaille Mill
taire and the Croix de Guerre with
nine palms and eleven stars. Upon
rehabilitation he returned to the
farm, but In 1919 was summoned to
take part in the parade. during the
peace celebration. After his march
the lure of Paris got him and he de.
cided that never again would he re.
turn to the fields of Brittany. He is
a Paris street payer now, and enjoy.
ing the delights of the capital.

Apollo should be strong, to show, re-

By some it is held that the sue
cessful singers hand shows always a
good line Of Apollo, which runs up
the center of the hand into the finger
of Apollo, the third or ring finger.
The vocalist should always have the
finger Of Apollo terminating in a
point.
Success in seeking and holding pub
lie favor is indicated by line of for
tune rising from the bracelet and run
ming to the mount Of Saturn, at the
base of the middle finger.
Self-confdence is also required by
the man or woman who must appear
before the public, and this is indicated
by separation of the line of life and
that of the head. A line rising from
the line of life to the finger of Jupiter,
the forefnger, means ambition.

OUR NEW SENATOR

The people Of Georgia have spo-
ken their choice for II senator and
their voice has been heard through
out the domain procaiming rs THEN
choice to serve them i'll this capacity
Judge Walter +. George.
While Judge George was not the
choice of mahy citizens; while in
him they did not find their ideal
as did the majority Of the voters Of
the state, tits but due them that they
had right to thus teel and to be
accorded the honesty and sincerity OF
their convictions.
AS man thinketh in his heart,
so he is" In our heart we conceived,
desired and purposed to elect Judge
George, than whom no nobler and
more trustworty man lives; to that
end we worked with an energy born
OF an honest purpose, and have no
apology to make.
On the other hand, many of our
friends espoused the cause of other
candidates in the field, which was
their right, their prerogative, and
in which they were as honest and
sincere as we, while no doubt their
choice was man OF hattering capa
bilities. Then, since our senator-elect
is to represent us as a whole, let us
as a whole, as true Democrats and
Georgians, regale any little prejudices
or thought of malice to the past,
for in him we can see a man who
will be Justly proud Of the distinc-
ton conferred upon him by great
and good people; man not con-
tent with the possession; not con-
tent with the empty office but with
heart, hand and brain for Georgia;
a man who despises nothing but
falsehood and wrong-doing; who
fears nothing but cowardice; who
thinks of the whole citizenship as
his friends and who will spend the
tenure of his office in so administer !
ing its affairs that Georgia and every
Individual within her bounds will be
benefited.

WAS MARRIED TO BEST RAN
Odd Happening Recorded at Wedding
bridegroom Willing to Allow
Bride limo to Consider.

Not so long ago strange error
occurred at a church wedding. In
some way the bridal party became
confused and at the close of the cere-
mony it was discovered that the bride
had been married to the best man.
Further complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to the brides younger sis
ter. The register had not yet been
signed, ard there was nothing for
1t but to perform the ceremony over
again. The mistake had arisen
through the best man undertaking to
make the necessary response for the
bridegroom, who was so nervous as
to be unable to remember them him
self. At Il wedding which took place
in country village a few years ago
the bridegroom, on being asked the
customary question, "Wilt thou take
this woman to be thy wife?' scratched
his head rehectively, and, turning to
the bride, asked "NVill we clean my
boots?' The query was met in the
affirmative, and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. A laughable incident once
occurred at a village wedding When
the bride had reached the church she
had forgotten her gloves, and fatty
refused to be married without them,
adding: "Be quick, lest / change my
mind ~ Two hours later the bride
groom was discovered seated in the
local inn, calmly putting away at a
cigar, waiting, as he explained, to see
If the bride really would change her
mind.

PLAN TO HELP
INDIAN WARDS
Health and Education to Be
Given Greater Consideration
by the Government.
RED CROSS WILL AID BUREAU
Nurses viii Show Value Of Welfare
Work on Reservations 10000
Children Not Now in School,
5000 Never There.

Neutrality-suspicious. to improve the
condition of Indians, with particular
regard to health and education, are
being worked out by Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Burke with the ap-
prevail of Secretary Fall. An increase
in the estimates for the Indian bureau
probably will be asked in the next In
dian appropriation bill.
The American Red Cross, at the re-
quest of the Interior department, re-
Gently assigned three trained nurses
to the Indian bureau for one year, as
the first step in Commissioner Burkes
program. In addition, plans for en-
larged school facilities to educate 20
600 children of school age not now In
school are being worked out. APP
proximately 5000 Of this number be-
long to the Navajo tribe and have
never been to school.
Will Survey Conditions.
The nurses assigned to the Indian
service, it was said at the Indian bu-
reau, would survey conditions. on
reservations and demonstrate what
may be accomplished by women
trained in nursing and welfare work.
Thus it is hoped to lay the foundation
for asking congress for an appropria-
ton to enable the bureau to employ
on the reservations women of high
er grade for matrons and general field
service.
"There is great opportunity"
Commissioner Burke said, "for improv-
ing home conditions among Indians
and for teaching sanitation and look
ing after the health of children. One
nurse will be stationed on the Pine
Ridge and Rosebud reservations In
South Dakota; the two others will go
to the Southwest, and work among
the different Indians in Arizona and
New Mexico. This is only part Of a
general plan adopted by the Interior
department for improving and better
ing conditions among the Indians.
Take Up Education.
another subject that is receiving
great deal of attention Is that of edu-
cation-building up the schools al
ready in the service, increasing the
attendance to their full capacity, and
strengthening the personnel. An in
crease in the estimates for education
will be submitted, in the hope that
congress will respond in view of the
demand.
1T is planned, if the money can be
obtained, to enlarge many of the
school plants by porch and other cheap
construction, and it is also hoped that
two abandoned military posts, Fort
Wingate, N. NJ, and Fort Apache,
Ariz., can be transferred by the War
department to be converted into In
dian schools. Both of these posts are
desirable and well located, and should
care for probably 1000 pupils.
1.-THE Interior department and the
Indian bureau are giving much atten-
tion to health conditions at the sever
al Indian schools and upon the differ
ent Indian reservations, and the pres
ent policy is to try to have at least
one hospital on every reservation with
a capacity sufficient to care for the
sick, and particularly Indians that are
very aged and infrm and without
means or homes where they can be
comfortably and properly cared for"

Sense s isz7 BLAKE
ENERGY is CAPITAL

A LAKE cannot turn turbine,
"A though 1t contains more water
than a cataract.
All the knowledge you can accumu-
late In a lifetime will do you no good
unless 1t can be translated into energy.
The difference between doors and
wlshers in this life is difference of
energy.
The wishers want things. The Coers
get them. 1t is hard work getting
them, but energy is the force that can
accomplish hard work.
The reason you see so many men
succeed whom you know to be no bet
ter fitted mentally than failures OF
your acquaintance is because the sue
aessful men are energetic.
Energy is the driving force behind
everything that is done.
All of us have some of 1t, or we
could not live.
Those who have great deal usu-
ally get along, unless they constantly
mlsdirect it.
There are, of course, energetic peo-'
pie who never get very far. But even
they get farther than they would If
they were content to sit still.
If the maxim, Everything comes to
him who waits" were amended to
read Nothing comes to him who
waits" it would be true.
AS it stands it is one of the most
misleading and dangerous falsehoods
in existence.
Your energy is your capital. Use
it wisely and economically and it will
paw you an almost usuriouS rate of
interest.
Half use it, or waste it on things
that are of no value, and you will just
about make living, which is a thing
no man of ambition wants to do.
Education teaches US to use our en-
ergy proftably. An educated man
can, or should, get more out OF the
same amount of energy than an I'M
educated man. exactly as q turbine
gets more out Of column OF falling
water than the old-fashioned overshot
wheel
Yet the energy must be there, or the
education must be useless. There
must be driving force which will ap-
ply what you have learned to your
problems. Nothing important was
ever accomplished by education alone.
If you haven't got energy, cultivate
it. Put your health in good condition
and your physical energy will I'M
prove, and with physical energy you
will gain mental energy.
Be careful how you use both. You
can't settle a business tangle if you
have been playing tennis all the morn
ing The exercise will use up the en-
| ergy that ought to be expended on the
job. Your brains can't use what
your muscles have used already.
Energy is always capital, but 1t
must be, well and prudently invested.
Take care of yours. Add to it by
care of your health, and by abundant
mental exercise. Then expend 1t on
important matters, and don't be afraid
| to expend it literally. 1t is one thing
of which the more you fspend the
more you will have, provided. OF
course, it is not foolishly wasted.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
20. K"

VTTHILE this abbreviation, as
w q laconic method of writ
ing correct" is undoubtedly
traceable to the Indian "Okeh,"
number Of other extremely in
teresting legends have gathered
around 1t, dating all the way
from the early colonial days
down to the time of Andrew
Jackson.
There are some that claim
that 1t originated from the fact
that the best rum and tobacco
were formerly imported from
Aux Cages, in San Domingo, and
that the casks containing them
were always marked with the
name of the town which was
later phonetically rendered by
the two letters 80. k"
Others maintain that the abb
breviation came into vogue dur
ing the presidential campaign of,
1923. when Andrew Jackson was
alleged to have marked a num-
Der of documents with the let
tiers 30. k" under the impression
that they stood for con Korrect."
While "Old Hickory" was far
from being q learned man, it is
doubtful whether he would have
been guilty of this error-par-
ticularly as there exists today
certain legal papers on which the
letters 20. r., meaning "order
recorded" may be seen in his
handwriting. The hurried man
ner in which the initials were
appended makes some of the
SIS look like Ai's," which prob
ably gave rise to the tradition
connecting him with "Oll Kor-
rect" The abbreviatiOn was
brought into prominence again
when President Wilson endorsed
the majority of his correspond
ence with the proper Indian
term "Okeh. ~

seven years old, of Trenton
Junction, N. dumped down a
chimney at his home while
dreaming, it required an entire
company of Trenton firemen to
release him. Giron recently was
released from an institution and
it was while dreaming that the
hospital guards were chasing
him that he fed from his bed
to the roof. He jumped in the
chimney, became fast, and the
tiremen were appealed to. After
trying to pull the man out with
ropes, it was found necessary
to cut hole in the chimney.
Giron was nearly Suffocated, but
