Progressive and Sober Citizen.hip
There are two things / am glad
to pay taxes for" said one South
Carolina farmer. Zone is good schools
and the other is good roads," The
State is making rapid progress with
regard to both schools and roads.
South Carolina also wisely decided
that the time has come not to put
all the tax burden on property, no
matter whether it is paying a profit
or not, but to throw more of the bur-
den on incomes and inheritances.
And while speaking of schools, let
us add that one of the most inspiring
sights seen CT our visit was the group
of some forty boys taking vocational
agriculture at Johnston. Those Smith.
Hughes students will be leaders ter
years from now.
We were also gratified ut waht W.

gradually going to root out thes,
evils. The general conviction seemed
to be expressed by one man who said
"a man needs all the brains he ha
to make a living now without be
fuddling himself. with liquor. If eigh
drinks will make me drunk, one drinl
will make me one-eighth drunk. ant
the only wise thing to do is to let i

HUMOR IN CONGRESS

About the dryest reading one can
find in all literature is thought by the
average citizen to be the Congression-
al Record, the proceedings day by day
of the solemn Senators and the slight
ly less solemn members of the other
house. Especially in discussing that
grave subject, the four-power treaty,
one would not expect an injection
of humor, but read this extract from
the discussion Of that subject by two
grave Senators. Senator Fletcher of
Florida, asked Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, if the treaty were adopted
would it affect our rlations with the
Philippines. When this exchange of
views took place:
Mr. Hitchcock. "My judgment is
when we get out of the Philippines
we will get completely out. eW may
at that time enter into some sort of
treaty with the other countries to
respect the independence of the Phil
ippine Islands, but when we let go they
will be independent. If it desired, that
sort of treaty might be made
Mr.. Fletcher. 81 gather that che
Senator's position is somewhat like
the two gentlemen on .a.ship at sea.
The story of father and soma storm
arose, and the son went to the fathr
and said, "Fadder wake up, wake,
The ship is sinking" The father said,
"What do we care? We don't own it,
eve may not own and may not be
compelled to approve of action as the
result of the conference which may
be held, but take it at the same time
the Senator is little afenid OF our
position as one of acknowledgements"
Not to he outd9netby the Senate:a
member of the other house, Congress-
man Robert Y. Thomas, of Kentucky

day, while the troops were out on a

which had to be delivered at once, and
there was no one who would dare at

Dakota warriors.
Kelly stopped at Berthold only long
enough to eat and then pushed On to

from Berthold he came to q timbered

a bullet whizzed past his ears. AS

Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and

The scout started again for Fort

without further adventure. He be.

Sioux were so frightened of his

Kelly remained In the United States

Philippines the old Indian scout, as

further to his laurels Of war before

well again. When working in the mill
the mother would leave her baby to
be cared for by strangers who now re-
fused to care for her. Poor little crea-
ture! She looked so pathetic as she
tried to tell, in her baby way, all
about her troubles. Mary was Just
fourteen months old and was so pale
and thin that the. worker knew in
stantly that she was not getting prop
er nourishment. She had only two
teeth and could not even walk, indeed
her thin little legs did not look as
though they would ever be strong
enough TO stand on. Neither Mary nor
her mother had change of clothing
and their condition was desperate.
The first step was to have the baby
examined by good baby speeiaiist,
who pronounced her sound but badly
under-nourished. He gave orders for
a change of diet and agreed to look
after her free of charge if she re-
main in the city. The next step was
to find some one,,to take care Of the
baby temporarily; and, this problem
was finally solved through a relative.
who consented to take little Mary and
and care, for her. In the meantime,
arrangements had been made for
Mrs. * to have hospital treatment.
AS. this little true story is being writ
ten, the mother has regained health
and is on her way to join her baby.
She will be with little Mary every
night; during the day, little Mary
will be under the careful eyes of her
devoted aunt, while Mrs. X is at
work. ...
Cases like the above are often in
cluded in the working program of the
Child Placing department of the
State Board of Public Welfare. This
shows clearly that the work OF this
department canuot be confined sicily
to the placement of children in homes
where they will. be. adopted. Advice
and assistance are given in many dif-
icult cases, and it is the policy of the
department to study each case and if
it is for the best interest of the child
a strenuous effort is made ta keep the
child with it's father or mother.

THE WOMAN WITH THE "EvIl
EYE"
20 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate. }

0C nE i,ns the evil eye" said Dumas,
- "she will bring curse upon any
man who loves her"
History knows the beautiful woman
Of whom he spoke as Lola MOntez,
but she was chriStened Elizabeth, the
daughter OF an Irish woman and Lord
Byron, by the left hand. Afterward
the mother married and went to In
dia with her soldier husband. When
the girl was sixteen. her mother came
back to England for time. and the
young mistress proceeded to run
away, marrying a soldier and depart
ing for India.
Elizabeth left India. stopped In
Spain, and changed her name to Lola
Montez She studied dancing and de-
termined to storm London. Her ap.
pearance In 1843 was heralded as a
great event, but she could not dance.
Her failure brought Kisses, and she re-
turned to the continent, wandering
through Germany and Belgium. Then
she went to Warsaw. She conceived the
idea of calling herself Pole, for
cause Of their struggle for liberty.
SO Lola came to Paris. under another
name, and started to dance. Once
more Kisses greeted her. II was the
last straw. She few into a fury. tore
Off her slippers and garters. and threw
them at the audience.
Paris had been won. Lola, drepping
her other name, became the fashion
Of the day. An editor was killed In
duel about her, and Dumas pro-
nounced the line quoted above, which
drove her from the capital. She next
turned up In Munich and enslaved old
King Ludwig. Then folly took hold
Of her. She started to rule the state
and soon got into water 80 deep that
she almost lost her life A mob sur
rounded her palace and angrily de-
manded that she come out Lola
came. in her nightgown, pistol In
hand. She emptied the contents into
the crowd and barely escaped the
mob's fury when Ludwig arrived at
the head Of the royal bodyguard. She
had to flee, and Ludwig lost his
throne.
LolG had exhausted Europe. She
came to New York and tried again to
dance. Once more she failed, and
went West, dipping into the mining
camps for while, then on to Aus
tralia, and finally back to New York.
Nov sNe lies In Greenwood cemetery,
Brooklyn, and not even an epitapb
marks her simple headstone.

SOME VANISHING BELIEFS

There are a great many myths in
the novel that have no Foundation
whatever in fact. One of the latest
to be contradicted is that grain. of
wheat wrapped in the bandages Of an
Egyptian mummy had been planted
and later came forth in the green
blade.
Scientists have made experiments
with grains taken from mummies and
with wheat only few years old and
in no case did the wheat grow. ,.
One scientist affirms most postiue-
ly that wheat fifteen years old won't
grow if planted. So one by one sto-
ries long believed one found to be un-
real and with foundation.
