Bag Pipe Holds
Own In Jazz Music

Glasgow. Dec. 1.-(AP)-The bag

new role has been going strong ever
since. Only large men are engaged
as jazz bag pipe players because of
the necessity of having individuals
with an enormous lung expansion who

"Thats how crazy she isl"
They were unanimously of the opinion that Mrs.
Broidin was absolutely crazy. And Marguerite
who stood in awe of Mary was especially convinced
of this All, she despised the Mrs. but was entirely
submissive to her. Her tyrannical bearing. Her
sharp commanding, imperious tone. Her cutting
voice which tolerated no contradiction. Her CON
slant demands. The three shrill rings of the bell
All of this filled her with fright Made her power
less before the woman.
She blushed again and again.
She even felt at times that her knees trembled
And she did everything that she was ordered to do
Immediately Without contradiction. She did not

and the other mistress. And that she was here

cat at one o'clock. The table had to be set. The
table-service had to be scrutinized. Then there
were the dishes.

they didn't have any persons for guests the dogs

And Nickles felt in secret an overwhelming desire
to give that dog hard kick in the side and he
resolved to do it that very evening
Ordinarily however there was almost always
guests, which was something Nickles did not like
at ALL. For guests meant still more dishes, more
dinner service
Marguerite was also of the same opinion.
MARGUERITE was very good girl.
She always helped Nickles at dish-washing,
and he in turn would perform knightly services
for her. For instance leaves had to be laid under
the cantaloupes. Nickles went down to the park
willingly and plucked uniform shaped fresh leaves
from the lime-trees. This was one of the basic
requirements.) And he also helped her to cut up
pumpkins. He took the long, thin sharp knife
in his hand lifted it up in the air and like an exc
cutioner he struck down with it upon the pump
kin.

'that must have been frightful."

-. Disease Cant Be Ills Wish, Since Christ Healed the Sick

London, Jan, 9-When men die of illness it is mot Gods will to take them,' according to the Reverend Michael Bolton Purse, Anglican bishop of St. Alhans.
 Addressing the St, Aihans diocesan conference the bishop asked: If physical disease is Gods will and desire, why did Christ, who came to do His will, fight against 1t and heal the sick? I cannot believe" he said, that it is right to say. when a hu- man being dies of physical disor- der, that it was Gods will to take him. If said that I should feel that l had blasphemed."
 Bishop Purse added that no medi- cal practitioner would claim 10 have healed or cured anyone of disoasc. All that coIuid be claimed was that medicine had helped nature to do her own work of healing,
 As Christian the bishop said he believed that what the physiologist calls natures laws are Gods laws; that disease and disorder in the physical sphere are as much against Gods will as disease or disorder in the moral and spiritual sphere"
