SELF PRAISE is NO PRAISE

HARDLY anyone is praising the
IL present congress. Nearly ev-
eryone condemns it. Therefore
Republican House Leader Mondell
feels it necessary to stand forth
and sound his horn in praise of the
present congress. Yet he is al
most alone in his testimony, be-
ing contradicted by many utter
ances of his own party members
and the republican newspapers.
Although the military affairs
committee had made a favorable
report on the Muscle Shoals pro.
ject and the bill was ready for dis.
cussion, the republican a%gricultur'
lists of the house could not be held
longer in session. One must be
a hard-hearted person to blame
them, however, after the results ir
Iriiana. Pennsylvania, Iowa ano
North Dakota, not to mention what
happen&..d to Ira c. Copley, multi
millionaire veteran member of the
ways and means committee Of the
house, out of Illinois.
1t ought not to be necessary fol
the Democrats to make any extend
ed reply to Mr.. Mondell's eulogJ
of this congress. which is really
not a eulogy. but an elegy. The
republican press and republican
spokesman who still retain a sense
of proportion and are not afraid te
speak the truth. have anticipated
him and have already answered hi
principal assertions. For instance
Mr.. Mondell says: mo con
congress ever sat under this dome
that was more faithful. diligent
painstaking, earnest or intelligen
or sounder in its judgment and de
cisions than the present congress
Never in the same length of tim
has so much legislation been con
sidered in committee. etc"
The Boston Transcript, a typica
orthodox republican newspaper
which voices the opinion held gen
orally by the most intelligent o
the republican press, says:

resentatives in the first year o

The Secret of Heine's MOCkery

"Out of my great sorrows fashion
my little SONGS" lamented Heinrich
Heine, one of the worlds greatest
lyric poets, the centenary Of whose
first book the lovers of the muses. are
celebrating.
There were, indeed, many sorrows
in Heine's life. But the greatest of
them was-woman.
He was unusually sensitive to femi-
nine charms since early boyhood. To
put it hyperbolically, he spent half his
days falling in love and half falling
out of love. But the Dianas, Clarisses,
Angeliques, and Hortenses whom one
meets in his lyrics, are not the ones
that turned the blue-eyed young Ap-
ollo into the tiger whose poison-drip-
ping tongue kept Philistia in terror.
1t was not those who secretly and un-
knowingly helped to put the cap and
bells on so many of the crowned heads
Of Europe. The women who stirred
the poet to his profoundest depths, as
we'll as lashed his emotions into vol
canic fury are "Red Sefchen," Amailia
and Therese, his cousins, Matilde
Mirat, and Elsie Won Krinitz.
"Red Sefchen" or Josepha was an
executioner's daughter. She lived
with her aunt in little cottage on
the outskirts of Dusseldorf, the town
where the poet was born. The aunt
was supporting herself and her charge
by exercising evil spirits and by SELL
ing love phials and dead mems
fingers.
"Sefchen'' could warble the most
weird songs, could dance the most fan
tastic witch dances, and could chant
the most awful funeral dirges. Her
flaming red head was full of the most
bizarre fairy tales. Her roguishly
curled lips exercised more evil spirits
out of the languishing frequenters of
the widows cottage than all the nos
trums of her aunt.
One day the future poet fell to
blows with youngster named Jupp.
Jupp's grandmother tried to reconcile
the combatants and, seeing that Mas
ter Heinrich was in the right, forced
her grandson to kiss him. Jupp was
sinfully ugly, but Heinrich closed his
eyes and let himself be kissed with
the spirit of a martyr ready to clam
ber up the pyre in the interest of
Peace. The old lady was touched by
his munifcence and extolled him mag
nificently-when his nurse, Tipple,
came upon the scene. She turned blue
at the possible consequences of such
adulation, grabbed young Heinrich by
the hand, and tugged him off to "Sef-
chen's" aunt for treatment.
At first he was disgusted, then awed,
and at last pleased. But not with the
"Meisterin." It was "Sefchen" by
whom he was spellbound. She looked
about four years older than he, but

BY HERMAN JACOBSOI1N (Copyright)
An Old Story Which Is Always New

was of his own age. But the isolation
OF her life, the mystery surrounding
the cottage in which she lived, and
the hangman's trophies of which she
spoke, had superhuman drawing
power on the boy. He spent with her
every hour for which he could frame
up an excuse at home.
She was in the habit of twining her
copper-colored hair around her snow
white neck in way that made him
think of stream of blood winding
through fields tagged with alabaster.
At such times she pursed her lips and
looked him straight in the eyes, as if
asking: "Guess what want to say?
All, you are stupid" By the time
both were about 16 her songs and
stories, no less than her wild vivacity,
filled his fancies with opiate reveries.
One day she told him a story of
huge sword which had tasted so much
blood that it's manipulation, her grand
father, buried it in the back yard, lest
it turn on himself. When the execu-
toner died, the "Meisterin" disinterred
it and hung it up among the rest of
her dead-chamber trophies.
The poets imagination was fired.
He had to see the relic. When the
aunt was away one afternoon the girl
led him into the room, snatched off a
huge flaming sword from the wall, and
skipped to the middle of the floor.
Though too heavy for her she none
the less kept swinging it round and
round her head, roguishly singing as
she swung it:
Say, wish you to hang on the lofty
Or wish you to swim the dark blue
Or would you kiss the naked sword
Given us by our Lord?
Her red hair hanging loosely around
her milk white face, and her arms
swinging over her head, she resenbled
the Lorelei-siren of the Rhine which
he immortalized in later years. For a
moment he stood spellbound. Then he
ducked under her arms and kissed her,
crying, T'll kiss the naked sword
and Red Sefchen' too"
This was their first and last kiss.
They parted Immediately thereafter
whether because of her being an exc
cutioner's daughter and his parents
would not condone his marrying her
or because first kisses rarely prove
serious, is hard to tell. Perhaps it
was because, as he subsequently said,
"To win my love must be treated
en- canaille; for I am Indifferent when
I find out that I am loved, and love
when I find out that she is indiffer-
ent."
Anyway, he left Dusseldorf soon
after and launched out upon his fa-

nous career of broken hopes and re-
peated failures. But red-headed "Sef-
chen" remained fixed in his heart for
ever. When he reminds himself of it
many years later he dreams of can
enchanted nightingale on a red coral
overhanging silent sea, singing of
love of long ago, whose notes of sor-
row go streaming throughout the
ages"
Only those who have brooded over
his Dream Pictures" may catch a
glimpse of the profound depths to
which the socially ostracised girl had
stirred him.
A few years later he met his mil
lionaire uncle's daughter Amalie or
Mally-a beautiful young girl about
a year his junior. And before he
knew it he was in love with her head
over ears.
But Heinrich or Harry as he was
often called for an English relative,
was the black sheep of the family,
especially in the eyes of his rich uncle.
For one thing, in business the young
poet proved notorious as-a failure.
And Amalia, like the good girl that
she was, shared her fathers opinions
in every respect. Of course, she gave
him no encouragement. In one of his
songs referring to this incident, he
complains: '"They have poisoned my
bread, have dripped gall into my cup;
some with their loves and some with
their hates; but she who has plagued
me sorest, has never loved me and
never hated"
But he was persistent. He made up
his mind to be a success. He opened
up a business of his own under the
high-sounding name of H. Heine &
Co., and in very short time had it in
hopeless tangle, forcing him to close
it's doors.
To have the young man away from
the girl, perhaps also to make up for
wounded affection, the uncle sent him
to study law. The young poet did not
suspect the motive behind the million
aires generosity and went away
happy with the certainty that an
LID. degree would fetch the prize.
It was now that he wrote the touch
ingly tender song "Du biest vie cine
Blume," which Prof. James T. Hatfield
of Northwestern university assures us
"has been set to music more often
than any other song"
But no sooner was he off than the
girl became engaged and was married.
He at once sank into abysmal gloom.
This disappointment turned him into
the mocking bird that he was.
It must be said that at first he kept
up his courage and turned to his
muse and solace. The result was
number of lyrics known to the world
as "Lyrischer Intermezzo" which
