BELFAST
Historic Belfast Mansion
Passes Out of Family

Tile beautiful old historic mansion,
once the home of Gov. William G.
Crosby, built in 1903 and restored in
1900 has passed out of the family,
having been sold by the heirs of the
late governor, to Francis Wood of
Belfast. a we'll known contractor.
This is the first time since it was
built in 1903 that the place has been
owned by others than members of
the family, with the exception of a
time when it was known as the Cros-
by Inn, hotel known far and wide
for its hospitality. The Crosby Inn
was built of portion of the original
house and large wings were added.
When the place was destroyed by
fire the original wing was saved and
later the place was purchased by
Mrs. Richard Cheney, Governor
Crosby's daughter, and it was re-
stored to its present pretentious state
her son Horace inheriting it and for
many years occupying it with his
family as a summer home. Later he
closed it, and for a few years it has
been unoecupied, a year ago COM
pletely' dismantled, and much of the
rare old furniture, including six
Hepplewhite chairs, Sheraton sofas
and such being sold. The new own
err will occupy it with his family for
a time and is undecided as to what
he will ultimately do with it.

1t isn't yet clear fhow any sensible
person would visit Russia under the
auspices and management of the
powers in charge over there and ex-
pect to obtain an unbiased view OF
the exact situation.
1t appears this was so evident te
Representative Britten of Illinois
that he decided to select his own
guides and personally conduct his
tour. although he went there pre-
disposed toward recognition of the
Russian government.
When he arrived back in this coun-
try he Immediately went to see the
President and told what he had
found. He also was willing to tell
the world, and did so, to the effect
that THE country is ruled in silent
terror by clique of theoretical
dreamers who are too stubborn to
admit they are wrong" He goes on
to say the soviet regime is "a Wis
ionary government whose very foun-
dation is based on murder, anarchy,
Bolsheyism and theft" All this ac-
cords nicely with the information Sc
cured long ago by those in charge of
our Government and sustains their
decision to withhold recognition from
government based on murder,
anarchy, theft, ct cetera.

At Wilton the fourth safe blowing

office with even two or three officers
empowered to pick up a trail some
thing might be done. One man edu-
Gated in the Eabits of criminals, hav-
ing knowledge Of their haunts and

hension, might do more than a dozen
inexperienced men without facilities
for coordinated effort.
A state might be burdened with a
constabulary if that We're permitted to
become a part Of the political ma
chinery, but so it might be burdened
with many other things if it did not
make proper use of them. We believe
this State should provide some
practical method under which in

UNFITNEss sELF.REvEALEp
On. Y. Times

The railing accusation which Henry
Ford yesterday brought against the
Secretary of War may or may not in
jure Mr.. Weeks, but is certainly
damaging to Mr.. Ford himself.
Without scintilla of PROOF in
justification of what he alleges,
Mr.. Ford accuses Secretary Weeks
of corruption in office. For moth
ing else in reality be under
stood by his charge that the
Secretary has been guided in his Of
fetal action in regard to the Muscle
Shoals plant by the private motives
of a BOND broker. Saying nothing
about Mr.. Ferd's political f1ourishes
in regard to what he would have
done for the farmer If allowed his
way in making cheap fertilizer at
Muscle Shoals, the quality of mind
and character shown in this attack
upon Secretary Weeks is enough of
itself to mark him as entirely unfit
for the Presidency.
The American people do not want
in that office a man who filings about
unsupported accusations of this
nature. after the fashion of hole
and-corner politician seeking votes
from ignorant and prejudieed men.
On the merits of the case, Mr.. Ford
has not leg to stand on. His own
lawyers agreed at Washington with
the Department of Justice that the
Government was under a binding
contract to sell the Gorgas plant to
the Alabama Power Company. Now
Mr. Ford eXclaims at this as if it
were part of foul conspiracy. In
the act he writes himself down in a
way not to be mistaken by any
sensible man as absolutely unfit for
the responsibilities, not to speak of
the dignities and decencies, of high
public office.

I fish, queer little houses, strange
animals and goodness knows what.
ooh. we are the sugar candy men
And we work all day In the snow
To make the maple sugar cakes
To sell in the town below"
sang one little man who wore a reu
peaked hat and long turned-up'
pointed shoes.
On seeing Little Jack Rabbit, how
ever, they all stopped their work ana
the little man who had been singing
pulled off his cap and asked:
"What brings you here? Are you
fond of maple sugar candy
II know lots of little boys ana
girls who are" answered the little
bunny with a grin. .,
well, hold open your pockets,
said the little man, and standing up
on a stump alongside Dapple Gray,
he filled the bunny boys pockets to
over flowing. Wasn't that nice OF
him?
Jack Rabbit, what can l do for
your
go to yonder town and tell the
dear old lady who keeps the Goody-
Sweet Tooth Shop that we will bring
her candy tomorrow"
"All right" answered the little
rabbit boy and off he went to the
little town down the valley. BY and
by, after while and many a mile,
and song and a smile, for he fey
very happy with all those nice
candies in his pocket, he came to a
bridge over river, on the other
side of which nestled a little town
among the trees.
Now there was a toll keeper, a
funny little old lady with a crutch
under her arm at the entrance to
the bridge, but you must wait until
the next story to hear what she did.

Whose Ok Is Gored7,
(Boston fierald)

The Mount Carmel (Pa.) Daily
News of a recent issue contains an
article which We believe entitled to
wider circulation. 1t relates that at
a special meeting of the United Mine
Workers of America, held in that
town on Oct. l, a series of resolutions
were adopted and duly signed. We
shall have to summarize them as fol-
lows:
The medical association in that
town has announced a 33 per cent.
increase III the price of calls and of :
flee treatments. The mine workers
have received only a 10 per cent. in
crease in their wages. Many other
labor craftsmen have received no in
crease at all.
The United Mine Workers accord
ingly protest. against the "hasty ac-
ton taken by the medical association
in increasing their prices, and con-
denim the enactment of the same"
They recommend that the local
unions employ a doctor to locate
there, mo matter where he comes
FROM" which sounds liberal surely,
ito wait upon them and their families
in distress, the same as some of our
fraternal societies do"
This tells its own story. 1t shows
the effect of the spiraling process
once undertaken, and how differently
rises look on the two sides of the
counter. ~

Is Your Heart Haunted?

Are you in love with hes,, and
blood man or ghostly memory
man?
Perhaps your ghost is harmless.
Years of wise living may have ex-
orcised its vicious power; but we
are here concerned with those spec
tiers which, like Poe's raven. refuse to
take their beaks from human hearts
and their forms from human dwell
ings.
\ really perservering ghost may
walk in hunger and in emptiness
through the thin, gray years of a life
time.
Haunted hearts are starved hearts.
In the days of our grandmothers
women spent their lives yearning
over love disappointments 1t was
the vogue to die of broken heart.
The woman at the window waiting
year after year for the return of a
certain lost. strayed or stolen male
was spectacle which commanded
fearful admiration. So, in India, it
was once the style for widows to be
burned on their husbands funeral
pyres.
Fashions in sentiment have
changed. A gusty, joyous wind has
blown from the world of women
their morbid fidelity to spooks.
The intelligent modern woman de-
mands a rich. happy. useful life. She
insists on real love, not shadow love.
If she is to marry. it must be to
flesh and blood husband. not a ghost
husband. Airy children of dream
stuff do not interest her. She wants
them solid. healthy, dirty fingered
sometimes, and cuddly. Castles in
the air? Day-dreams? She would
give all their towers of chrysoprase
for one fragrant. honest to- goodness
red rose plucked by her own door,
step.
Doctors have discovered that a
love which can not be expended on
ar actual person often turns back on
the nervous system, causing hysteria,
anxiety, inertia and 9TH
er forms of mental illness.-Erom the

the effect of the harmful acid and pre-
vent the formation of gas, sourness or
premature fermentation by the use OF a
little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals
There is probably no better, safer or
more reliable stomach antiacid than Bis
urated Magnesia and it is widely used for
this purpose. 1t has no direct action on

a teaspeonful of tt powder or a couple
OF five grain tablets taken in a little
water with the food will neutralize the
excess acidity which may be present and
prevent Its further formation. This re-

As A Woman Thiniss,h

There Is woman who is one of my
best friends, and people wonder
why like her so much.
She isn't particularly attractive, she
doesn't talk well at all, she is too
busy with her children to have
entertaining parties, if she knew
how. In fact, she is not at all a
remarkable person.
Except in one respect: She is a real
friend.
She is as pleased when my husband
gets a good fee as when her own
does, and they are in the same
profession.
She apparently thinks the things my
children say are as funny and
clever as those her own children
pull.
! can have a better time with her
going to the market where the
cabbages are cheapest than at the
opera with lots of other people.
She is a good housekeeper, but she
wishes she could do things the
way I do!
She will offer me anything. she
owns, If she finds out need II.
