SHOOTING STARS.

In Thought and Deed.

In Thought and Deed.
Good thoughts may come, though men
remain
But selfish slaves to sordid gain,
And though their source unfit may
seem,
Still benefit the human scheme.
The impulse to good deeds may rise
In one whose thoughts we must
despise
And heralded abroad by fame
Make gratitude o'ershadow blame.
When one at last to view is brought
Noble in action as in thought,
The world his record fair will scan
And say. HE was indeed man,

The Last Homecoming

This afternoon all that is mortal of
Warren G. Harding. late President of
the United States, is laid at rest at
Marion, Ohio, the scene of his work
for many years and Of his success in
private life. To that little city Of
about 10000 inhabitants turn the
minds of the people Of the United
spect and honor to the man who has
held the highest Office in this country
and who won the esteem and affection
of all.
AS this ceremony takes place, clos
ing week of national mourning and
sorrow, the thought prevails that it
Is in such places as that which now
receives its son into its soil that the
average American life is spent. Mil
hons are gathered into few Centers
of population, the greater cities of
the country, but far more people dwell
in the smaller towns and cities, where
life is more intimate and more nat
ural and, II is felt, more wholesome.
Most Of the Presidents of the United
States have come from such places
the smaller towns and cities. They
have gained their prominence in local
affairs and have, perhaps, graduated
into the larger fields in later periods.
But as rule they have brought into
the White House the spirit of the
lesser community rather than of the
metropolis. The result is that there
has been a close contact between the
people and the presidency.
AS the funeral train bearing the
remains of Mr.. Harding came east
ward from San Francisco il passed
through lanes OF Borrowing people,
drawn from the farms and the vii
lagos, the towns and little cities. In
the larger centers the throngs were
denser, of course. In some of the
places they were so great as almost
to obstruct the way. No one will ever
know how many millions saw that
train. No count could be made. Prob
ably In some places entire cOmmuni-
ties responded to the universal i'm
presence and attention as the train
passed, tribute to the man and to the
Office he had just vacated in death
In city like Marion, type of the
average American community, men
are known well. They are called
Quaintance Is universal. a man sue
ceeds and becomes prominent in such
a place and all his fellow citizens are
proud of him. He advances to high
Office in the state or in Congress, or,
IN the rare cases permitted by the
routine of our national affairs, the
presidency, and this pride becomes a
personal sense of partnership. 1t is
this that makes the United States so
strong, so progressive, so enduring.
So it is appropriate that the Presi-
dents body should lie in the soil of
his own "home town" 1t is seemly
and fitting that his tomb should rise
there, a shrine not only for the nation,
but for those who knew him. and
those who in after years will hear of
him and his work and identify him
with the history of the country. 1t
10 suitable that the place that knew
Warren G.. Harding so we'll in life,
that was his scene of action, the city
that he served faithfully, that gave
him, as it were, to the nation, should
now take him back to itself, its own,
its beloved citizen, not as President,
but as a member of the community,
who had expressed in the highest de-
gree the spirit of America.

The Ford boomers have been quiz
escent for fortnight, which fact has
caused some uneasiness in the camps
of the other possibilities. They fear
the Ford outfit is lying low to spring
a surprise on them. The better guess,
however, is thought to be that the
Ford managers are waiting for the re-
cent sudden outburst among democrats
favoring Henry Ford to sink in," and
watch the reaction.
The Ford movement is classed among
many politicians as a two-track under
taking with the White House as the
terminal. They don't care whether he
runs in on the democratic track or a
third party track. If they had the
one which seemed to have the best
political and vote-getting roadbed and
rolling stock equipment.
Amid all the talk, speculation and
gossip, the McAdoo boomers are keep
ing everlastingly at II, working in
their own way. and are considered as
not having lost a trick thus far. The
strategy of the McAdoo forces is to
keep their candidate himself out of the
limelight as far as possible while they
do the fine work. They advise him to
refrain from making public announce
ment Just at this time of his candidacy,
on the ground that such action would
Immediately draw the fire of all the
other candidates. Furthermore, they
feel that such an announcement would
Inevitably be followed by the neces-
sity of a declaration by him of his
policies in consequence of public de-
mand for q SHOW down."
The backbone of the McAdoo move
ment is the railroad vote. A section of
that vote is now drifting to the farmer
labor party, as was shown in the Min
nesota elections. Whether or not the
farmer-labor party makes further
headway, 1t il believed. by the McAdoo
men that as soon as he declares he is
a candidate they will come back to him.

little old woman. Little Jack Rab-

don't know what Bruin means, I'll tell
you. It's the name for bear in Fairy
land) will you come into my humble
cottage?"
."She may be WITCH" whispered
the bunny boy. but the little bear said
no. she was just little old woman
who lived by the wood and picked the
wild Strawberries wherever she could.
This made Little Jack Rabbit smile,
never having heard a bear make q
rhyme before and neither have I. But
then, there are lots of things I haven't
heard. Well. anyway, the bunny boy
and the little bear went into the old
woman's house and while she was
getting some cookies, the cuckoo
clock struck the hour. A funny little
bird came out of a tiny door in the
clock and said cuckoo" thirteen
times. Then, before going back into
her little clock house, she sang q
song:
All the day long and all the night

I cuckoo the hours as onward they
glide,

Over and over and over and Ger.
But never before have I cuckooed

Then, with a pop. the cuckoo bird
disappeared in her tiny clock house.
Goodness, gracious mel" cried the
little old woman, nearly upsetting the
plate of cookies she had in her hand
what is the matter with my clock to-
day."
Pretty soon the bunny boy and the
little bear said goodbye and started
upon their way again, and the two
headed dog behaved himself very
| nicely, wagging his two tails in quite
friendly way when the bunny boy
patted him on one head and theslittle
bear patted him on the other. And in
the next story you shall hear what
happened after that.

Now, let me see. II there had been
more space in the last story, I would
have told you that the little bear led
the bunny boy to cave where there
lay a great bag of gold.
My goodness, how happy the little
rabbit was to have found his fortune
and the little bear was mighty happy,
too.
Let US travel together" said the
bunny boy, Il think you are a very

comrade."
The little bear said he would 30,
and off they went until, by and BY,
they came to tiny house near a
wood. Just outside the door sat a
little old woman knitting, and at her
feet lay a two headed dog. I think
he had two tails, too, only he wagged
them so fast. it was hard to tell.
We'll, WELL" said the little old wo-
man, "A bear and rabbit travelling

All at once her little dog got Up and

enough, Little Jack Rabbit saw two
