figured that with them dividing up

would be expected to, Montgom-

nomination.

That didn't look so easy. Not so
soon after 1920. And that is the
reason why we decided to pass it

What will be the affect of Mr.
Montgomery active and agrees
sively enthusiastic support of Mr..
Ogden's candidacy? The answer
of Washington observers by a
large majority who were question
ed about that today, was that it
will prove decidedly helpful, and a
valuable asset to be annexed to
the growing organization of the
Ohio County aspirant. Especially
will all of this prove to be true,
they say, if Mr.. Montgomery s
ability to swing hfs followers for
another is as great. or rs per cent
as great, as it is to line them up
for himself for anything he wants.

ROWS CANOE 1900 MILES
TO BUILD UP HEALTH

By padding canoe 1900 miles in
six weeks, travelling alone and earn
ing his way, studying to occupy his
time in camp, Milton H. Erickson, of
Beaver Dam, student at the univer-
sity of Wisconsin, this summer found
a way to build up his health and pre-
pare himself to continue his college
course.
Pale, underweight, convalescent
from infantile paralysis, and almost
too weak to walk any distance, he de-
cided last Jtine that he must do some
thing for his health. Starting out
alone in canoe, with $3.50 in cash
and a small supply of food, he pad
died until late in August--d6wn the
Yahara, Rock and Mississippi rivers,
and back up the Illinois, Hennepin
canal and Rock. He returned strong,
robust and ready for college work.
He earned his food along the way
by cooking for campers, working for
farmers, helping in fish market, and
doing anything that turned up. he
returned, with more money than he
had at the start He averaged about
so miles day, upstream as well as
down, and one day covered SO miles,
padding alone.
Along the way he read zoe pages
of history, 470 pages of psychology,
and two German books. As ne is a
pre-medical student, the extra read
ings gave HIM long start in his ac-
ade4nic studies.
Erickson attracted much attention
along the way because he padded in
swimming trunks and soon was so
tanned that he was scarcely recog-
nized as white man. Campers could
not agree whether he was an Indian.
Negro, Mexican or japanese. Bu+
everywhere people welcomed him and
helped him along the way and he
found the trip delightful.

EXCITED WRATH OF DICKENS
Great Writer, at His Best, Denounced
Public Haneings, Which Were
Disgrace to English Law.

Charles Dickens, at the time of the
execution Of Manning and his wife for
the murder of Patrick O'Connor, was
at his fullest power as writer. In a
letter to the London Times he wrote:
II believe that sight so inconceiv-
ably awful as the wickedness and levi
ty OF the immense crowd collected at
the execution this morning could be
imagined by no man, and presented by
no heather land under the sun. The
horrors OF the gibbet and the crime
which brought the wretched murderers
to it faded in my mind before the
atrocious bearing, looks and language
of the assembled spectators. When |
came upon the scene at midnight the
shrillness of the cries and howls that
were raised from time to time, denot-
Ing that they came from concourse
of boys and girls already assembled In
the best places, made my blood run
cold. When the two miserable crea.
lures who attracted all this CHASTITY
sight about them were turned CULVER
ing into the air. there was no more
emotion, no more pity, no more thought
that two immortal souls had gone to
judgment, no more restraint In any of
the previous obscenities, than IL the
name OF Christ had never been heard
In this world, and there were no belief
among men but that they perish like
the beasts"

"The only idea you can get Of what

over the pages and look through from

Lao-tsze Wrote cospe, Of Taoism.

Lao-tsze wrote the gospel of Ta0ism,
from whose pages an Immense re-
ligion grew up. Having been librarian
Of q Chinese king, and having much
time for meditation, he came after
many years to the conclusion that hui
mility was the supreme virtue. He
resigned, and desired to hide in Sc
clusion. While passing through the
gate of the palace on his way to soli-
tude the warder besought him: you
are about to withdraw yourself from
the world. pray you write me q
book before you CO."
Lao-tsze thereupon sat down and
wrote q book about half the size OF
st. Marks gospel. He gave this to
the warder, passed through the gate
and no man knows where he died.
The little book is the gospel Of Tao
ism. The word '"Ta0" means way
man OF destiny. The advice was that
men should become like little chill
dren and act without reflection.

Once while the process of scrubbing

quite while.

CHINESE MINISTER As CUPID
Testing Remark Made by WI Ting
Fang Led to the Union Of Two
Loving Hearts.

WI Ting Fang was, while minister
at Washington, attending the wedding
Of the daughter OF the chief justice
at that time. At the breakfast he
asked one OF the bridesmaids when II
would be her turn to become bride.
She modestly said that she did not
know, as she had not yet had an of
fer. Turning to group Of young men,
Doctor WI jocularly remarked to one
of them, 'This Is beautiful lady,
would you not like to marry her?"
He replied, II should be most delight
ed to-" "Will you accept his offerf"
said Doctor WI to the bridesmaid.
She seemed slightly embarrassed and
said something to the effect that as
she did not know the gentleman she
could not give a definite answer.
Meeting the Chinese minister at an
"at home" few DAYS. later, she sc0ld-
ed him for his bluntness. and he ex.
cused himself by saying that he was
actuated by the best Of motives.
A few months afterward WI re-
ceived an invitation from the young
lady's parents to attend her marriage.
The bridegroom was the young man
who had figured in the unconventional
incident. To Wu's agreeable surprise
the mother of the bride Informed him
that it was he who had first brought
the young couple together, and both
bride and bridegroom heartily thanked
him for his good offices.
