ODDITIES IN TIE NEWS.

A minister in the middle west,
founder and for twenty years pastor
Of a church. married a couple while
they wore bathing suits, standing be-
side a public swimming pool. His
church promptly preferred charges
against him and win try him for the
offense OF conduct unbecoming a min
lister.
A New York judge had before him a
prisoner charged with shaping his
old father" The offense was not
serious from the legal standpoint, since
the slap had been undamaging to any
thing save dignity. The sentence was
that the offender paste in his hat a
written copy OF the fourth command
ment, Honor thy father and thy
mother" and agree to obey it. Com
menting on the sentence, a court Of
ficer said: TT may sound foolish, but
his neighbors will know it and talk
about 1t, and public opinion viii keep
him well behaved in future!"
In a Virginia court, a woman ac-
cused OF the serious crime Of forgery
was sentenced to pay fine OF one
dollar and to spend one hour in jail.
The court tempered the stern justice
of impersonal law with the tender
mercy Of compassion for the helpless.
Teh trial developed that the woman
and her baby had suffered hunger
and cold from lack OF necessities the
husband failed to provide, though able.
The woman opened a letter addressed
to her husband found a government
check for disability allowance, wrote
the husbands name on 1t, cashed 1t,
and spent It for clothes and food for
herself and child.
An Indiana woman died and kept
on living" according to the doctors
who attended her. The strange case
was that of a mother, run over by

alive and conscious for hours, with

after her heart had ceased to beat.

A FIGHT FOR THE CON
STITUTION WILL WIN

Agreeing with the Times-Un that
the injustice done in the apportion-
ment of Florida had nothing to do with
was written the Tampa Tribune thinks
the continuation of 1t has been the
work Of sectionalism and says:
"The Times Union will hardly
dare assert that the reason why
the constitutional mandate for re-
apportionment Of representation
every ten years has not been obey
ed is because northern and west
ern Florida counties would have
lost the legislative whip hand, or
feared they would. Having con-
troll passed to them from the days
when 1t rightfully belonged to them,
they defied convention, common
demand, and the constitution, by
refusing 20 reapportion, nd
though an illegally held power
have violated the constitutional
law every time the legislature met
In the past thirty years"
Timid as the Time-Union is it does
dare to assert that the representation
has stood through the years in which
through no spirit OF sectiona1ism. The
constitution plainly states that the re-
apportionment must be made every
ten years and must be based on pop
ulation. Members of the legislature
which was entrusted with making a
reapportionment violated their oaths
to support the constitution when they
failed to make one.
Now let's see how daring the Trib-
une will be. Will 1t assert that in ev-
cry case the discrimination has been
against South Florida counties? Will
1t dare to say that the injustice has
been kept UP entirely by North or West
Florida votes? VIII 1t assert that all
the representatives of South Florida
have ever Joined in an effort to Sc
cure a constitutional representation
and that this has been defeated by
votes from North and West Florida?
VIII It deny that the chairman of the
committee on apportionment for the
last four years has been a South Flor
Ida man and that the bills he has re-
ported made no effort to ctrry out
the constitution VIII It deny In South
Florida the issue as to justice and the
observance of an oath has been OBJ
scured by constant beefing about in
justice against South Florida instead
of against the inadequately represent
ed counties wherever they are? VIII
the Tribune deny that one of the two

BREAD ON the WATERS.

An incident Of Hospital day of last
year, recently reported from one Of
the public health service hospitals in
the middle west brings out strongly the
manner In which the celebration Of the
day has made friends among the wish
tors for the hospitals.
More than 900 persons visited the
hospital on the day, most of them
coming from outside the town of about
1000 inhabitants In which II was To-
Gated. Some came as TAR as twenty
miles away.
Among these was a farmer who had
never been in a hospital before. He
was greatly interested In the hydro
thereby equipment and treatment and
asked many questions concerning
them OF the officer In charge OF the
department. It developed that the
farmers wife was suffering from some
ailment which the country doctors had
been unable to treat successfully. The
farmer thought that hydro-therapy
would help her and therefore obtained
the name Of the manufacturer Of the
equipment and instructions as to It's
use.
Nothing more was heard OF the mat
ter until several months later, when
the farmer drove up with several big
baskets OF green corn and other fresh
vegetables for the patients. explaining
that this offering was token of his
appreciation Of the information that
the hospital officers had given him.
The vegetables were much appreci-
ated; but the knowledge that the hos
pftal had made so good a friend was
still more appreciated.

for II because she had to negotiate
loans for so many things.
Here IS where the Junior Red Cross
OF the county came in. Child Welfare
was the program chosen by the school
committee OF the chapter for the school
year and so when the nurse reported
this case to Miss Esther NJ. BJoland,
chairman Of Trempealeau school COM

The outcome was that the boy was
taken to Minneapolis and at the ex-
pense OF the Junior Red Cross was fit

amputation had been above tho knee)
and was sent back to school able to
take his place among his schoolmates

A PlRATlcAL IMITATION

Last meeting we had q long talk.
and decided that Pirate Seven was a
luckier name than Pirate Six, and
anyway Jim irving would make q
good pirate. and everybody likes him,
so we made up our minds we'd ini-
tiate him at this meeting.
Squee and fixed up a real pirates
Initiation beforehand. and when Jim
. arrived to be initiated all was ready
! for him. We were holding It In Ollie
Clarks basement. on account OF the
fact that there wasn't room enough In
Herb Woods shack for q real ini-
tiation. As soon as Jim came In we
took him into one OF the three rooms
that Ollie's basement is divided into.
and blindfolded him.
In tho Cellar
II was dark, and kinda damp and
al together real spooky, so Jim was
pretty scared by the time we had him
blindfolded, and all the time the fell
lows in the other rooms were making
a lot OF noise, banging tin cans to-
gether, and telling each other in loud
voices to get the axe ready, or to
prepare the torture chamber, and 10
heat the branding cutlass In the IRE,
and to do lots of other things, and
the more Jim heard the more scared
he got, and all the time we fellows
him take vows, and swear 70 different
things.

minister OF the world or . pirate r.
yells out Squee Mather at Jim, and
Jim jumped. cause Squee was stand
ing right next to him.
I'D rather be-be q p-p-p-pirate,"
he finally managed to say, and then
Squee told him to get himself Into
the next room, where the pirates
would be waiting to transfer him from
. human being into something Ike
. real pirate.
Putting Him Through
Jim kinda gtiftened Up. and walked
into the next room a. though he never
expected TO be able to walk cut Of It.
He walked right into q step ladder
that had been laid out for him, and
TO see him stumbling along nearly

but nobody did. Then Squee pushes
him q little and tells him TO hurry
up, and Jim does his best 20. though
not very successful. He stumbled and

him, and he got bis balance back
all right.
Then he had TO ride the Spanish
Main; and We put him M on q light

up we all lifted tho table and made Il

after that had kept up for while we
let the table down.
After that we made a lot Of fuss
about getting the branding cutlass
ready TO brand the initiate with the
sign of the Pirates Cave. We got
Jim ell worked up. and then took a
sharp piece OF ice and rubbed It
across his forehead, and he yelled.

so you can't blame Jim for being
scared.
The Branding
After branding him we were about
through with the initiation, all but the
last. and most important, part Of the
whole thing. We told him we didn't
think he'd amount to shucks as a
pirate, so we were going to make
him walk the plank and get rid of
him. Everybody treated him real
rough, and yelled at him. and jostled
him. and with all that going on jim
finally got pretty scared. and began
to think we really weren't going to

Waking the Plank
So we had him start to walk out
on the plank, end the farther he
walked the higher the plank got. until
il was about two feet high at the
end. All the time he was walking out
the plank we kept warning him about
falling of the plank. and in order 70

all the way from the floor, and IL
sounded as though the plank was

Then everybody gathered around.
