man been sea7ching7 For the same,
things which Alan was looking for?
And had the other man got them?
Who might the other be, and what
might be his connection with Benja-
min Corvet?' Alan had no doubt that
everything Of Importance must have
been taken away, but he would make
sure of that He took some Of the pa
pers from the drawers and began to,
examine them; after nearly an hour
of this, he had found only one article,
which appeared connected in any way
with what Sheriff. had told him or.
with Alan himself. In one Of the little
drawers Of the desk he found several
books, much worn as though from
being carried in a pocket, and one Of
these contained a series OF entries
stretching over several years. These
listed an amounts $3.50 opposite Sc
rfes Of dates with only the year and
the month given, and there was an
entry for every second month.
Alan felt his fingers trembling as he
turned the pages of the little book
and found at the end Of the list a
blank, and below, in the same hand
but in writing which had changed
slightly with the passage of years, an
other date and the confirming entry Of
$1,000. Alan looked through the little
book again and put it in his pocket.
It was, beyond doubt, his fathers

ALREADY GETTING REsu1rs.

When the nations waa6ch assembled at Washington heard the proposition for the reduction of armament it was rec ognlzed that it was intended that not only should the big nations be relieved Of the heavy expense Of constantly try ing to outdo or keep up with the other nations in the matter of naval equip- ment but that through their example the others would be inspired to do away with similar heavy ahd needless expenditures.
 This country has already shown what that Washington agreement means to this country. There has been big cut in the appropriations for the navy in anticipation of the ratification of the agreement by the other nations, while other governments have proceeded to do likewise. The wild rush to build new and bigger warships has stopped and as result there has been made possible reduction in taxation. With the cut ting to the bone of the naval appropnia- tions and the curtaifment or other war appropriations a big saving has been effected and the pocketboo2s of the na- tion already know tit, some taxes being abolished and others reduced

Australia al- ready reports that asA the result of the agreement the costs of national defense have been reduced $13.5Oeooe, some oI the war taxes abolished, the amount of exempted income increased and re duction of ten per cent made en the in come tax.
 But for the agreement reached at Washington the story might be entirel! different Certainly there would be nt voluntary naval curtailn1ent tn thi hopes that others would follow.

FAMOUS NIcKNAMES

: It was in the war of 1872 that An drew Jackson embraced the opportunity
 for permanent distinction, and it was al 50 'insthatsconfiict that he secured the nicknames that stuck to him forever after that of "Old Hickory While leading a. force of men from Natehez to Tennessee
 in the midst of a hard winter. he shared
 with them all the hardships and they be-
 came so impressed with his rowers of en-
 durance that a soldier remarked: "'rhe
 general is mighty tough
 "Yes," replied another. "He is as
 tough as hickory One after the other
 of the men took up the nickname and
 soon Jackson was "Old Hickory" to the
 entire army and remained as such, both in war. and politics up to the time of his
 death, and succeeding generations have taken pride in referring to him by this name.
 Another story goes that in 1872, when Fort Mimms, near Mobile Ala, was cap tured by the Indians, who butchered hun
 dreds of men, women and children many of them Tennesseeans, angered at this latrocity, volunteered in the Creek War, which followed Andrew Jackson was in bed as the result of wounds received Tn a fight with Thomas H. Benton. Upon l hearing of the massacre of the whites at Fort Adimms, Jackson immediately took | command of arl army against the Indians. T. At times during the war Jackson's little army had hardly enough to eat, and was almost ruined<by a lack of oth-
 Ter supplies. At one time part of his
 army started back home until to stand
 the hardships. The general became cn- 1 ragged and placed his cannon and remain Ling man across the road in front of the Hutineers and told them to stay or be l utat dnxxfr ftr7boxy. 7xoiHad frs 5c+a sN1a l next day the part of the army that help cd to keep the mutineers back started home and Jackson called out to the first j mutineers. | At Horseshoe the Creeks built fortifcation and believed that no army could defeat them at this place | Jack sonf road through the hickory J ground and after desperate battle he feaptured the fprtifications.

 For SS years Gen. Rondon has been at work in this vast wilderness.

In his recent message to congress President Harding asked that the nee essary increased authority be given that the government may have the power to give protection to aliens under the trea- tY guarantees that they will be pro- tected and safeguarded dn this coun- try
 It can be readily imagined what the sentiment would be in this country If Americans should be shot down in cold blood dn other countries It is well known what the feeling has been in this country because of the difficult ties experienced in getting any satis- faction from Mexico over the thunder of Americans in that country, and yet there continue to be instances Mhgre this government is about as helpless as we regard the Mexican gpvernflen4
