Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUn1MER

WASHINGTON, April 17-Joseph jefferson
Mansfield, representative in congress from the famous
gulf coast district Of Texas, is not superstitious. But
there is nothing on earth that could induce him to
burn a stick Of s~assafras wood.
The numbers Is and % hold no terrors for him.
He never hesitates to walk under a ladder any old
time-even on Friday. the thirteenth. Whole droves
OF black cats may cross his path with impunity.
But to burn a piece of ~sassafras wood-never. No
matter if the weather goes 20 degrees below zero.
In explanation Mr.. Mansfield says that in his
early boyhood just after the close Of the Civil war,
coffee in West Virginia, where he then lived, was re-
garded as a great luxury. 1t was as scarce as cook
ing stoves, which none but the rich and the near rich
could afford. The principal table beverage of the
countryfolk consisted Of a tea made from the roots
of sassafras trees.
There was a persistent superstition in that section
OF the country that bad luck would certainly follow
those who would burn or otherwise destroy ~sassafras
trees.

CHAPTER XVIII

S44LA& - -
Half way back he passed, on his
right, a mean little building which
one would hardly have recognized
even for a humble public house but
for d decayed sign bearing the faint
memory Of a Georgian king upon it.
This was the inn towards which
Ted, some way behind, was slowly
hobbling. A hundred yards beyond
the inn. a girl stood at a corner. At
first Rupert wondered whether this
were the girl who had inspired their
mad adventure, and his steps in
stinctively quickened. Was he at
last to have his own glimpse of the
adorable Venus?
The girl was undeniably pretty.
Yes, she looked most attractive as
she stood at the corner, gazing
down the lane towards him. But
she belonged to the golden-haired,
blue-eyed, rather plump variety,
and did not fit into the conception
planted in his mind by the descrip-
tons he had listened to. He missed
the Intangible something" He
missed, also, an atmosphere of eff
ficiency. And would their own spe-
cial Venus have given way to the
weakness Of tears on such a sunny
morning as this? For it was clear
to see that the pretty, fair-haired.
blue-eyed girl at the corner had
been crying.
A moment later, she disappeared,
and when he reached the corner
there was no sign of her. He con-
tinued on his way, vaguely wonder
ing. An idea occurred to him. Was
it her little glove button he had in
his pocket? Then he laughed at him
self, and at the ridiculous signifi-
canoe with which he was investing
everything he encountered.
He was walking through the out
skirts of the village now. and a well
come sight abruptly intruded itself
before him. Charlie had condo
scended to wake up at last, and had
come to meet him.
"Halloi You think you're bright

Charlie. "Where've you been?"

pert.
"Ho! Catch any worms?"
It'll tell you in a minute. Any

Charlie nodded.
"As a matter of fact. it was the

heaven forgive me for describing
what I've caught as a worml"

EXPENSIVE FIRE

One day while he was gathering wood for fuel he
CHANGED to cut down and drag a nice ~sassafras tree.
Inc tree was cut into cordwood lengths and placed
on tne IRE before any member of the family noticed
that it was the forbidden s-assafras..
A great commotion ensued. For a time it appear
ed that he would have to seek other quarters than
IN the ancestral farmhouse. The neighbors heard Of
IT, an dpredicted that bad luck would follow in a
short time.
Their prophecies were borne out.
Two days later Mansfield was mercilessly man
handled when he got the first and only real beating
in his life.
The same week an overflow occurred in the river
on which the family was living at the time. and
washed away a brand new stake and ridered" fence
he had just finished building around an eight-acre
field.
A large tract Of land that he had prepared for
planting corn IN the spring was inundated.

THAT WASN'T ALL
That overflow came at the end of a long. cold win
ter, and great quantities of ice were washed out upon
the public roads. Right in the midst Of this condi-
ton of affairs, the family meal bin became empty,
and young Mansfield was selected to 20 to the mill
some six miles up the river.
With a two-bushel sack of shelled corn and seated
on the hurrican deck of Old John, the family horse,
he started out.
He soon found the road welI-nigh impossible.
When halfway to the mill he found the road COM
pletely blocked with huge blocks OF ice a foot or more
IN thickness. and piled to a height Of six or seven
feet. He attempted to ride around the obstruction
on the side next to the river. Here he encountered a
block of ice in the narrow passageway lying at an
angle and extending to the brink of the river. There
was nothing to do but ride across it.
Old John confidently stepped on the block Of ice.
Suddenly his feet shot out from under him, and

Two Grandmothers

Role Is Never Easy

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

Johnny had two grandmas.
a. Sometimes he would 60 to visit
Grandma Smith-Sometimes Grandma
Jones. With one he was very, very
good. With the other he was horrid.
Grandma Jones, with whom he was
horrid, had prided herself on the way
she had managed her children. And
her friends and neighborS, knowing
what success she had had, were simply
thunderstruck when she couldn't do
ANYTHING In the+way OF disciplining her
five-year-old grandson.
when she spoke In the old days every
one of her children had jumped to at
tention. They toed the mark, can
tell you," she was very fond Of remind
ing those who had forgotten. "It shows
what children are coming to these days.
That child doesn't know what obedience
means. It's disgraceful."
And vet when she visited her daugh-
ter-in-law she had to admit that
Johnny was q pretty we'll behaved little
boy. What surprised her still more was
that he paid more attention to her, too,
as long as his mother was in the house.
But let his. mother so out for an
afternoon and leave him to the juris-
dicticn Of Grandma Jones, the old war
fare began all over again. He simply
wouldn't do a thing she told him.
Now Grandma Smith was quite the
opposite-no disciplinarian whatever, a
rather mild, easy-going sort Of person.

didn't especially want to, and wasn't
especially disappointed because she
wasn't home, but found myself leaving
her note beginning, Dear Golden
Girl because Doris expects that.
IT had once said something about
liking to see her in copperish clothes
which made her, with her golden skin
and eyes and hair,S look like gcid
image, and she has never forgotten, ana
always lives up to it,"
My only objection to those people
with a dramatic ego Is when they eX-
plot the rest of humanity to their own
ends. Do you remember the heroine
of "All Kneeling"? CE~--eAbel or
Christine, think her name was.
Christabel baslEed in the legend that
she was so sweet, so good, so spiritual.
She ground any one and every one into
the dust so long as her role was main
tanned.
In the privacy of her own boudoir
she drove the little dreSSmaker who was
making her wedding lingerie into hys-
terra because the tucks weren't fine
enough, and in the presence OF ner
fiance she sweetly invited her and her
old mother to her wedding and told her
how perfectly precious" the trousseau
was. -.
After all, we have an ideal Of self
which we fight to preserve. II 1t isn't

or Bernhardt. it's something else. The
battle Is MOTTO let it 60 too far.
