} BETTER. BECAUSE THE
SWEETHEART WAS MORE
GLORIOUS THAN OTH E r
MEM
You're wrong. Chances are.
John, that your mothers bread
was just $3.50, and you've tasted
a thousand better loaves since.
And it's dollars to doughnuts.
Alice, that your hero was just q
regular kid and you'd never
give him a second look If you
saw him for the first time
now. Then why has their mem.
ory persisted? BECAUSE IT
WAS PART OF YOUR MORN
ING.
It was part of that magic
which comes but once in life
part of that tip-toe ecstasy,
that wonder and delight, that
fire and fever and flaming
faith which is youth.
z You do not remember the
taste Of your mothers bread,
John. You remember the
flavor Of youth. You do not
remember the sweetness Of
first love, Alice. You remem-
ber the care-free glory and
glamour Of 1S-year-old romance.
And it will never come again,
for there is only one morning.
Only One Morning
But what Of it2 Why let
the memory Of that youthful
yesterday spoil all your tomor-
rows? There Is, it is true, only
one morning. BUT HOW
ABOUT THE NOON? Dewy
dreams are rarely sweet, but
why pass UP life for the sake
Of a dream? What of the
wide adventures, the long
marches, the gallant battles
that may be yours if you'll
snap out Of your dreams and
get going?
Why has life been such q
disappointing mess, John and
Alice? Why have you never
regained your lost happiness?
WAS TT BECAUSE YOU
WE'RE TRYING TO HANG
ON TO YOUR MORNING?
WAS IT BECAUSE YOU
WEREN'T WILLING TO SEEK

An Ideal Portrait Subject = By Claude G. Bowers

Mexican War and before. AS
such, he was one Of the fore
most leaders in the demand for
"fifty-four, forty or fight" in
Oregon. His eloquence was so
genuine that Webster once paid
him the compliment of saying
that it was fortunate Hannegan
did not appear until WebSter's
reputation had been estab-
lished, or it might not have
been attained.
It was because of the bril-
liancy Of his oratory that, Har-
riet Martineau, when here and
listening from the old Senate
gallery, impusively threw her
gloves to him as he sat down.
He rose, turned to the gallery
with q bow, pressed the gloves
to his lips, and then into his
pocket next his heart. And
Harriet was no beauty. She
was just a woman.

\Ga1laMCfy En0e0 HIS
Diplomatic Career
It was gallantry in Hanne-
gan that prematurely ended his
diplomatic career. In q politi-
cal overturn he was defeated for
reelection to the Senate and
was sent to Berlin as Minister.
He was q natural courtier and
he was popular among the Ia
dies Of the court.
He went to st. Louis to prac-
tice law. There he was sue
ceSSful. Then came the time
when the western country con-
cluded that it was entitled to
a Presidential nomination, and
Hannegan was the favorite for
the honor. His candidacy was
to be launched with great eclat.
He would make one Of his IA
nous speeches at a great meet
ing; others would speak and
laud him to the skies; the press
would carry the story.
The night came. 1t was Han
negan,s custom before making
a speech to take a drink of
liquor. This time, the occasion
being important, he TOOK more
than a drink. Had he spoken
soon after reaching the platform
the effect would have been
good. But speaker after speaker
preceded him; and when he
rose to receive his ovation he
was drunk. His articulation
was impossible. He munbled a
few words, and his horror
stricken admirers pulled him
down.
That. too, sobered MIN, and
he was conscience stricken. He
agreed to all they said in con-
demnation. Then he went back
to his hotel-and shot himself.

some Of the critics seemed to
resent the unimportance OF

And yet, perhaps, there are
personalities among the little

Indeed, among those who are

big ship in July to meet Sir Hubert

appropriate means for landing polar
expeditions near their destination,

them with supplies during their stay
in the arctic.
The Zeppelin expedition is to be H.
panced by william Randolph Hearst.
whose newspapers also are backing
the wilkins voyage.
The Graf will carry IS persons on
the arctic flight, including Lieuten-
ant Commander Smith, u. 8. N Pro-
fessor Samolovitch, who was aboard
the steamer Krassin when 1t rescued
the Noble expedition, and Lady Drum
mond Hay.
1t will take along complete polar
equipment, including sledges, boats
and arctic clothing. The time of the
start will depend On the progress OF
the wilkins expedition.
Because of her greater speed, the
Graf will not leave Franz Joseph
Land until Sir Hubert's submarine
Nautilus, is within two days of the
pole.
The rendezvous with Sir Hubert viii
be part of the Zeppelin arctic expe'
dition which has been in preparation
for some time.
