PEP in SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Authority Makes Plea for Games That
Are Characterized by Energy
and Vim.

"Jellyfish gymnastics, or stupid, silly
games, played half heartedly, have lit
tie place in the proper physical devel-
opment Of the growing child,' declares
DR. E. Blanche Sterling. acting assist
ant surgeon, United States public
health service, in commenting on the
health of school children. In planning
exercise with a view to the promo
ton of good posture, she suggests
they should be simple and vigorous
and play full of energy and vim.
The posture Of school children can
not however, be said to depend chiefly
on any one condition, she holds. De-
fective vision, adenoids and bad tonsils
tend to have bad effect on the child's
posture. Where hygienic conditions
in a school are not the best there is
an increase Of poor posture. Good
nutrition is a contributing factor to
good posture, but by no means an in
dispensaDle condition. Condition of the
teeth, she claims, has no effect. Doc
tor Sterling's findings are based on a
study Of three elementary schools at

Late in January, 1869, Rudolf
staged gay house party at the castle
of Meyerling, some twelve miles from
Vienna. Among the guests was the
Baroness Maria Vetsera and gossip
concerning her affair with the crown
prince ran high, finally breaking with
clash when, on the morning OF JAN
uary &c. Rudolf's valet entered his mas
ter's bed chamber and found the crown
prince dead and, beside him, the body
of the beautiful baroness.
The first official report stated that
the crown prince had died of apoplexy
but, as his rugged physique and ex.
ceptional health we're well known
throughout the court circles OF Europe,
this statement was received with
smile and much Struggling of shout
ders. Following this there came a
flood of rumors and supposedly 'au
theqtic" accounts of the tragedy, some
of which stated that the baroness had
killed herself in despair and that Ru-
dolf had committed suicide when he
found her body, others telling of an al
legged suicide pact between the lovers
and still others limiting at completely
on the part of certain court officials
who had been instructed to put stop
to the intimacy between the baroness
and the crown prince sat any cost"
A fourth story, which gained consid-
cradle credence on the continent, was
connected with former fiance Of the
baroness, whom she had discarded in
favor of Prince Rudolf This person
age, whose name was freely mentioned,
was known to have been in the vicin-
ity of Meyerling castle on the night OF
the tragedy, and the report was that
he had secured admittance to the
apartments of the prince by bribing
several of the servants, and had shot
both Rudolf and the baroness, making
his escape before the double murder
was discovered.
Still another angle to the whole af-
fair appeared several years later when
the former crown prince and the baro-
ness were reported to have been seen
in the United States, and it was freely
limited that news Of their deaths had
been given to the world in order to
cover scandal which would have
shaken the throne of Austria and i'm
periled the friendship then existing be-
tween that country and Belgium. That
this version of the tragedy is not as
wild as it appears is evident from the
fact that one of the foremost ency-
cIopedias states that the crown prince
us believed to have died, probably by
his own hand, at the Castle Meyerling."
But the entire affair-Whether .dou-
Bile murder, a suicide pact or an at
tempt to cover a scandals only one
of the many tragedies which made
their appearance during the reign of
Franz-J Joseph, tragedies which includ-
ed his unhappy marriage with the
Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria the ex-
ecution of his brother, the Emperor
Maximilian of Mexico; the mysterious
disappearance Of the Grand Duke JO-
ham Salvador; the murder of the En-
press Elizabeth at Geneva and the as
sassination of the heir to the throne,
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and
his morganatic wife the final tragedy
which led to the greatest of all-the
World war and the subsequent par
| tition of the kingdom.

THE PRISON POET"
VK7HO wrote this poem?"

GVKTHO wrote this poem?"
Judge John w. Willis of st.
Paul, Mimi, turned to his secretary
one day early in 1910 and, pointing to
a verse which appeared in an issue
of the paper published by the prison
ers of the st. Paul penffentiary, babe
the other read what he termed zone
of the best bits of poetry have come
across in many a day"-a fragment
of which ran:
Haggard faces and trembling knees
Eyes that shine with a weakling's gate;
Lips that mutter their blasphemies,
Murderous hearts that dar1ly wait;
These were they who were men of late,
Fit to hold a plough or a sword.
If a prayer this wall will penetrate,
Have pity on these, my comrades, Lord!
Interested in the psychology which
could give birth to such lines written
behind the bars of a penitentiary
Judge Willis made a point of visiting
the prison, where he found a man
entered upon the prison books as
"John Carter, age a." but who admit
ted that both the name and age were
false. When questioned as to his true
name he would only reply: Il have
too much pride to allow that to be
known" and with respect to his age,
he merely pointed to his gray hairs
and smiled.
Carter had been sentenced to ten

Judge Willis commenced to investi-
gate his case, he found that the man
had had nothing to eat for two days
prior to his crime, and that he had
broken into a railway restaurant with
the sole idea of obtaining enough food
to save himself from starvation, after
being thrown from freight train
while trying to beat his way from
Winnipeg to st. Paul.

Garter" had commenced to play the
organ in a manner which attracted the

contributed a number of poems to the

only led Judge Willis but number of
editors throughout the country to an
appreciation of the genius of this con
vict-author. His Ballad of Misery

in various sections of the United

of which the verse above forms a
