earl, who was mainly responsible for the
massacre of Glencoe, and in revenge an old
highland woman called down a fearful curse
on his house, prophesying among other
things that the future holders of the title
would die childless. And, as a matter of
fact, the second, third, fourth sixth seventh.
and eighth earls did die without issue. A
superstitious lady once asked the present;

Mr.. Beanpole was somewhat sensitive
about past failures, it being his job to look
after the plants and the goldfish when Mrs.
Beanpole went away. SO this time he picked
out rear bath room, put the fish in the txA,
turned on a gentle stream and ranged the
plants under the caves to catch the overflow.
Surplus water merely trickled down the back
stairs and under the kitchen door into the
yard
Such were the arrangements greeting Mrs.
BeanpOle upon her return. There was a
moderate amount Of damage to plaster and
Iinoleum but the goldfish and the plants
were never more flourishing.

A WAY OUT is FOUND

While Governor Baxter said he
had not asked for the resignation OF
the county attorney Of Aroostook,
and had changed his mind respecting
immunity granted by the federal Of
ficials. he did say he wished the
county attorney to conduct an ag-
gressive campaign against liquor
selling. The county attorney on his
part insisted on prosecuting re-
CARELESS of immunity. Now he has
changed his mind. At this distance
1t looks as though both the Gov
ernor and the county attorney were
wise in changing their minds, that
the Governor was right in his con-
clusion that there is ample oppor-
tunity for a county attorney in that
county to exercise his prosecuting
abilities without disregarding i'm
munity pledges. Now that the coun-
ty attorney has resigned the Cover
nor seeks a man who can and will
do this, and it is reported that he has
found one. This Is good news and
we trust results will confirm eX-
pectations. A way out of situation
which had nothing to recommend it
appears to have been found.

Looking for Musical

San Francisco, Jan. IA. P)-
The time is at hand for a new messiah

Hertz, conductor of the San Francisco
Symphony Orchestra. formerly a di-
rector OF Wagnerian opera in New
York and musician of international
repute.
There are today many composers
who are almost geniuses," Mr.. Hertz
told The Associated Press. But
Richard Strauss is the most recent to
be accorded universally the name Of
genius. The new messiah will come
we are ready for him.

San Franciscan who has been brought
to Mr. Hertz's attention; at any rate
he usually is an American of the
younger generation, a student or a
teacher who is becoming articulate
This is the conductors way of encour-
aging native composition where IL

CONGRESSMAN Frear OF Wisconsin,

DR. Elliott is a resident of Palm
