 Insight Into the Man

New York, March 10 P>-Lady Raleigh has bravod the "brick-bats' of male literary critics which Mrs. Edgar SaItus and others saw await lha woman biographer who attempts to tell the truths about their hus- lands.
 She hes given the public the let tcrs of Sir Walter Raleigh, edited 0y her own hand. and which are de- .cribed as his best and only bio @raphy" From q collection of some 40a0 letters which the distinguished English man of literature wrote to various friends, Lady Raleigh has drawn an intimate picture of his life.
 The letters disclose that Sir Wal ter was not one of Henley's young men" as had sometimes been stated. William E. Henley, noted British author and critic, had fatherly re- lation with many young writers who later became celebrated. At most Sir Walter got from Henley was the stimulus that comes from friendship and from occasional opposition in opinion" says the book, which Macmillan publishes to- day.
 l Sir Walter Raleigh was invited tc , Oxford University as the first holdel of it's Professorship of English Lit crature. As a student in history at Kings College, however, he did moi make such a high mark, He wa' placed at the top of the secon{ class, immediately above his friend Austen Chamberlain. z D.

GETS QUICK HELP FOR LUMbACO
Back at work three days after simple home treatment

"Give me relief! Stop this agony!"- that's all you can think Of when you're suffering with any acute pain.
 And you can get relief-q quickly and completely-with a very simple home treatment.
 "Iwas in bed with lumbago," "writes C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Mime sota. "Afriend told me about Sloans Liniment, and after using it one day. l was able to walk around the house. After three days I was able to go to work, and now I'm as well as ever." "'
 The reason that Sloan's Liniment gives such remarkable relief is that it gets right at the cause Of the pain. It stimulates the circulation throughout the place where the pain is, and clears out the germs that are causing it.
 Right away you feel relief. The pain stops, and soon you are fit as ever. Get bottle today and have it on hand. All druggists-35 cents.

faith in wild geese and in NAL
lard. teal, redhead and canvasback
ducks than in other birds, and
there are prophets who stake their
regulations on chipmunks and on
gray and red squirrels. Certain
prophets, who may be classed as
Observation-Disclosures, believe that
the bark of trees is the sure weather
glass. and 1t is true that many have
observed that when oak leaves turn
brown and crisp and are whipped
from the trees by bowling northern
gales cold weather may be expected.
1t may be remarked that public
faith in volunteer weather prophets Is
not confiding. They have disappoint-
ed us. Last May, when we were wear
ing overcoats and trying to get an
other ton of coal, there was a prophet
roaring up and down the land who
said there would be no Summer. His
prophecy went something like this:
1.-THE Summer of 1925 will be the cold
est Winter Washington has known.
The George Leary. Pilot Boy and Lady
of the Lake will be frozen in, and the
ferry boats will be tied up
because Of ice. Men will be able to
drive yokes of steer and oxcarts from
Georgetown to Belle Haven on the ice,
and people will be able to skate as far
down the river as Point Lookout and
then on to Norfolk. IL they have
breath left"
Parts Of the cold-Summer prophecy
have not come true, but some of us
hope that the cold-Summer prophet
will yet make good his threat. This
professor gentleman who is forecast
ing early Fall with lots of frost Is a
pleasant and good-natured fellow. and
the steamed people Of Washington
wish him luck as prophet.

Will nip the pumpkin and tomato and

the pawpaw is best after frost has
turned the peel black and the pulp
yellow will be satisfied. The dispatch
shows that the professor Is not a
meteorologist. but an ornithologist,
and that he bases his faith on the be-
havior of birds. He says: Martins
near the campus will soon start on

will come with their leaving"

A Bandit Pays the Penalty.

Richard Reese Whitten1ore paid the
supreme penalty last night in the
Maryland State Penitentiary for his
life of crime. Only twentyfour years
old when he was swung off the gal
lows into eternity, Whittemore leaves
behind him a crime record which be-
gan at the age of sever At fifteen
he was sent to the reform school;
then a brief period of liberty was fol-
lowed by series of Jail terms which
kept him constantly under the eyes
of the police as a dangerous char
acter." He was sentenced to death
specifically for the murder Of a prison
guard in his escape from the Mary
land penitentiary after Buffalo had
failed to convict him Of participation
in a bank robbery and the murder of
bank guards. In the parlance Of the
criminal, he died game; unrepent.
ant, unflinching and defiant. His
passing marks the end Of q notorious
underworld character
LAW SoiA VI AOopCStetDlO ClIc, IL
is hard to understand the quirks of
fate which ended in the hanging of
the young bandit. With advantages
that other boys did not possess, it
appears that Whittemore deliberately
spurned the society Of decent people
and embarked on life of crime. His
career was comparatively brief, be-
cause much of his life was spent in
the penitentiary. Records show, how
ever. that while he was Outside"
huge hauls were made by him and his
gang.
Hanged at twenty.four, there is
nothing in Whittemore's life to en-
courage the evildoer. Society will
exact it's penalty from those who
break its laws. Crime does not pay
and never will. The bandit, the muir.
derer and the thief may get by" for
a while, but it Is inevihble that
sooner or later the laws set up for the
protection of the State will prevail
to wipe out those who defy them.
Think straight and act straight; that
Is the formula for the progress of
civilization.
