Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

COL, the sun-god, driving his chariot up the
 sky O mornings, is an artist transform
 ing the homely brick and mortar Of the city into loveliness. From his car comes the energy that created life and keeps it going. His is the power, stirring pigments in the heavens, which makes the barometer rise or fall, draws from the warm waters of rivers and soils the pale white msts that float in the cooler air, softening details, enhancing beau ties and washing the landscapes with sott color.
 Where Pan pursues the Arcadian nymph Syrinx along marshes, grasping her straw colored hair, only to find it reeds, migrating birds fit in the morning opalescent mist pearly white that Sol lifting the temperature somewhere else, causes to blow over the town, painting it's turrets and gables in mother-ot- pearl.
 Those who sleep late seldom see the world newborn from the brushes of the greatest or artists. They do not know the mysterious loveliness of the city when the sun-god IS washing in his background for the picture Of the day.

Watching The Parade
 By JOHN PILGRIM

A STRANGER could have written the "A scenario with his eyes shut, but the big crash at the end seems to have upset the hero frightfully. It came as surprise. He says no one could have made him be- lieve it.
 II had so many good friends" said he.
 Bill O'Connell was one of our brightest young bankers. Other bankers thought well of him, although he was alawys at play ex- cept during banking hours. Golf, dominoes, dancing, bridge, cocktails, football-nothing came amiss to him. At the bank he was a pleasant, intelligent painstaking young man who gave promise of becoming valuable. When he was at play
 He was the life of the party"
 Every one said that. Witty, good-natured, tirelesS, kind, he was that very rare bird ln- deed, a lovable man. Unfortunately the big fellows mixed up the banks bit the other day and in the bookkeeping that resulted it was discovered that Bill had been dipping into the funds for years. He admitted it freely.
 T was under-paid," he said. T could not live as banker should live on my salary. But it will be all right My friends will help me out"
 And not friend appeared. No one came to offer bond and Bill is still in a dark, rather smelly, somewhat cockroacherous cell. He found a young lawyer who was willing to take his case for the sake of the advertise ment But he isn't much of a lawyer, The life of the party is morose and cynical now, his young lawyer reports.
 "I thought they were friends of mine," he mourns.
 Well, what can he expect? They were friends of the life of the party-nOt of a liar and counterfeit and thief.

The person in political meeting who in terrupts a speaker to obtain information by asking question is clearly within his rights and should be answered respectfully by the man on the platform, and treated respect fully by the audience, so long as the ques- ton or questions are put in orderly tone and temper and have as their object elucldatlon of the point or points under discussion. The situation as regards the individual who goes to a political meeting with the deliberate purpose of interrupting and interrogating the speaker, in order to create a disturbance and cause embarrassment, is distinctly different. -Kokomo Tribune.

Feng, The Peacemaker.

Feng, Christian general, roaming around the north of China with a considerable army during the past few years, has entered the city of Pekin, established order and has told the warning factions to end their bloodshed. Dr. Robert Jaffray, Presbyterian missionary in Fu-Chow, China, who is well acquainted with General Feng, told this writer once that a visit to Fengs army brought astonishing surprises. Instead of the lewd barrack songs usually heard in military camps, the soldiers, 60 per cent of whom are Christians, were singing hymns. There was a complete ab- sence of the usual female detachments that generally travel along with armies in the east. Tie general even preached a sermon himself one Sunday.
 There should be great cause for rejoicing then in the fact that such a man is seizing the helm of state, it would seem. Yet the world must not expect too much. Christian generals in the past have seized cities and they also have behaved like true barbarians, invoking even the name of the Prince of Peace on their massacres and lootings and as for preaching sermons, his imperial majesty, William II of Germany had con- tracted that habit. His homily on Blessed are the dead, who died in the Lord," can be had for five pfennings in any Berlin bookstall. And for the good orthodox theology in it, it's dirt cheap at that.

KarOIyi Incident.

" HAVE been informed that this woman IS a bolshevik, that she has come to form communist groups" So speaks jealous patriot, Stanwood Menken, of the National Security league, as he rushed to Ellis Island to demand deportation of Countess Catherine Karolyi, wife of the former liberal prime minister of Hungary. "She is a danger to American institutions, for she was in the procession that freed Bella Kuhn from prison, !" says Mir. Menken. Awaiting Countess Karolyi in New York was 3 reception committee con- sisting of Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, Mrs. J. B. Hartman. Miss Jane>Addams and others. If Countess Karolyi is a danger to American institutions, Europe should have been on its guard when President Woodrow Wilson approached its shores. He was danger to old world tradi- tions of secret diplomacy, autocracy and militarism. The countess belongs to the same spiritual family as the late president. Dur ing the war her husband and she distinguished themselves by showing superiority of spirit and by rising above the clamor and the din made by the hysterical junkers in their coun- try. Count Karoyl and his wife have love of humanity thatatranscends the bounds of na- tions. The British and French, the Germans and Americans to them were human beings, not "beasts of enemies" against whom hymn of hate must be sung. As to the charge that she had anything to do with the freeing Of Bella Kuhn from prison, one may be tempted to ask from which prison. Kuhn was an Austrian soldier; before entering the army he was journalist He was taken prisoner by the Russians and was repatriated for the purpose of spreading bolshevism in Austria. He led the soviet revolution in Hungary which was suppressed and drowned in blood by the Rumanian army. Behind the scenes of this' deplorable incident, not worthy of a civilized country is the reactionary dictator, Horthy A man of the type of Mussolini, who disregards all rights of the people and by whom any independence of spirit or liberal thought is answered with the cry "Bolshev- ism" The Karolyis have called upon him to relinquish his stranglehold on their country. When he refused they branded him as a would-be Hapsbnrg and a tyrant.
