Doubtless the Atmosphere Was Blue

The meeting, it is understood, was
tarranged by Gutzon Borglum.
The imperial wizard had come to
town with the imperial klaliff, f. L.
Savage of New York, on one leg of
swing around the country to discuss
Khan affairs. With him were G. w.
Rice, from middle western state, and
j. c. Moore, both laymen who by spe-
cial dispensation are permitted to
make their identity as klansmen
known.
81 told Mr.. Evans" said Mr.. Allen,
"that the Khan was not like other
secret societies which were merely
secret as to their ceremonies and did
not hide the identity of their mem
bers. | also told him that I was OPP
posed to the massed disorder which it
suggests and that it was made refuge
behind which man may hide to carry
out his grudges.
"Mr. Evans said that it was his
idea that in little while the Khan
might be established on basis where
it could come out from its secretive-
ness and that at some time in the flu
ture it might do away with DISCUSSES"

say that you are better looking than
the Mr.. Dog at the barnyard."
Mr.. Fox had never met city duck
before and he was surprised enough
that she did not swim away when she
saw him, but when she spoke about
Mr.. Dog he knew she did not know
who he was.
1.-The Mr.. Dog at the barnyard is
only distantly related to our family.
Are you stranger around these
parts?"
'Yes, indeed. / came here from the
city park for my health" replied Miss
Ducky Duck. II am not used to rude
country ways and 1 shall return very
soon to my city home"
81 wouldn't he too sure of that" re-
marked Mr.. Fox.
"What did you say?" asked Miss
Ducky.
II said you might like the country
well enough to remain here" fibbed
Mr.. Fox quickly but of course Won
have not seen this side of the pond.
Wouldn't you like to take stroll? /
am sure the walk through the woods
will be good for YOU" Then thinking
he did not wish to have sick duck
for his dinner, Mr.. Fox asked: "What
is the matter with you?"
"Oh, nothing, but that needed n
change. l did not eat WELL" replied
Miss Ducky.
'Oh, well, this walk will be just the
thing them" answered Mr.. Fox. "You
will never have that trouble again."
And If Mr.. Dog had not come run
ming through the woods at that min
ute Miss Ducky would not have had
that trouble again, just as Mr.. Fox
promised, for he was ready to spring
upon her as she waddled out of the
water.
Miss Ducky swan back to the barn
yard, where she told the other ducks
how rude Mr.. Dog had been to a very
polite Mr.. Dog she met on the other
side of the pond, but when she learned
who he really was and how Mr.. Dog
had saved her life, Miss Ducky Duck
began to respect Mr.. Dog and never
felt safe unless he was around.

EUGENIA

D ORN to queenly honors Is she who
- bears the name of Eugenia. Its
origin is in the Greek language where
it is derived from a word meaning
well-born. It's modern adaptation by
the French into Eugene is famous
throughout the world since it is borne
by one of the most illustrious women
of history, the former Empress Eu-
genie. Its popularity in France is
enormous and its Anglicized version,
Eugenia, has great vogue in England
and America.
Its history dates back from Eu-
genes. a very old Greek writer, but
Eugenias was the name most popular
I'm classical times. 1t was carried on
as Kugenius by the Romans. st. Eu-
genius was a confessor and another
EugeniuG was Bishop of Toledo in
GAG. Indeed, it has always been u
favorite as a masculine name and has
been borne by men of power and
prominence. Eugenioswas the name o1
that high-spirited Savoy called "le
petit Able du Roi," who was later the
Prince Eugene, dear to England and
Austria, ard terrible to France and
Turkey, yet. curious TO relate, foe that
he was. his name enjoys greater popu-
larity In France than in his native

so-called senate majority on its beam

An ancient senator, one believing
in regularity of procedure and of
proper regard for precedent in all
cases. is quoted as saying that the
reason that RroQkhart of Iowa and
Couzens of Michigan have been able
to take charge of things, and to chart
a legislative course to their liking is
because "every one of us seems nm.

MISS DUCKS VISIT

MISS DUCKY DUCK had lived IN
a city park all her life, but one
day she was sick and was taken to the
country and put in a barnyard, where
there were many other ducks and
many things that Miss Ducky Duck
had never seen or heard about.
To be sure there was a pond near
the barnyard but it was not so deep
or as large as the one in the city
park, and Miss Ducky never tired of
telling the country ducks about what
she bad left behind.
She could not get used to the other
animals. "We never had such crea-
lures where came FROM" she would
say, turning her head away from the
pig pen with an air of disgust, and Mr..
Dog she did not like at all. She said
he was $50 noisy, always poking about
to see what is going on
One day he came to the edge Of the
pond to get a drink of water when
Miss Ducky was going for swim. "It

a sort of tacit agreement that party
calls will not be expected from the

pay these is in the evening, and when
they do go out in the evening they
like to have some more substantial
diversion than paying calls.

makes better impression if he does

over, he should pay it whether or not
he has attended. If he has received
an actual stated invitation for q def

due, but If the invitation has been
verbal and only indefinite then he
need not consider it as requiring a
