Oh, yes. Joe was quite a pest.
He would think absolutely moth
ing of phoning you at $3.50 in
the morning to ask you if you
had been asleep. And slipping
salt in the sugar bowl was just
as much fun for him as mis-
directing strangers in town.
Yet, some of the townfolk
thought he was a bright boy
whose main fault was his sense
of humor. Come to think of it,
they we're probably right. For
Joe was not dumb. Not by any
means. He wasn't so brilliant
in class, but he could relate
the latest Farmers Daughter"
joke with gestures and was con-
Sidered the life of any party he
chose to attend.
The Washington times., 1932-08-15

in his own irresponsible way,
and he had no intention Of
aggravating her condition.
But practical jokers are born
not made. One year after
they moved into the little farm
house, he knew that Maize was
expecting a baby. In fact. he
looked forward to the event
with as much tenderness and
love as she did. But he was
a practical joker, and what
happened probably shouldn't
be chalked up against him.
He knew that she was in
mortal terror of snakes. He
knew also that she hated in
sects. Yet he trapped two
hornets and Gagged them un-
der her wide-brimmed straw
hat.
When she lifted her hat
from the dresser in the bed
room, she heard the angry
buzz and screamed in terror.
They stung her severely on the
face and hand, and after the
doctor left Joe knew that there
would be no baby.

Wised Up

Joe sent a box of chocolates
to one of the girls in town one
Christmas Eve. And after the
girl ate some and passed them
around to her father and mother
and few friends, they all be-
came very, very sick. indeed.
Those chocolates, my friends,
were not candy. And if Maize
hadn't pleaded and cried so ef-
fectively. two days later a band
of young fellows would have
dragged Joe off and beaten him
until he couldn't stand.
But even that didn't sober up
this boy. In the parlance of
the day-he Lever wiSed up.
After seven years of fun, Joe
married Maize one fine summer
day and dropped a foul-smelling
bomb into the bridal bouquet
just before the ceremony. And
under these quaint circum,
stances, Maize became Mrs. Jo-
seph Martin - for worse or
worse
About six months after the
ceremony they moved to small
farm near Vineland. N. j.
Maize had been against the idea
from the start, because she
hated the lonesomenesS of coun-
try life in the first place. and
she was mortally afraid of in
Sects and snakes in the second
place.
But Joe insisted. He claimed
that the farm would build up
her physical condition, and they
could run the place themselves
and make it pay. AS a matter
Of fact, a doctor had told Joe
that Maize needed rest and
quiet; that she was nervous and
debilitated and might easily go
into a mental decline at any
time

HopeIessIy Insane

While she was cooking lunch
downstairs in the kitchen, he
placed the snake between the
sheets of the unmade bed. Then
he went downstairs and ate
heartily.
He sat reading the paper
while she went upstairs to make
the bed. He listened closely,
but heard no sound. Then sud-
denly he heard a short scream.
Not a loud one. Just like
sudden intake of the breath.
Then silence.
He waited for ten minutes
before he investigated. He ran
upstairs, flung open the bed
room door and shrieked in ter
ror. There his wife stood be-
side the bed with the thick coils
of the snake between her teeth,
chewing noiselessly, and star
ing strangely ahead.
The authorities pieced the
tragedy together. They figured
that the shock of seeing his
wife stark mad had mentally
unbalanced Joe Martin. He be-
came a mumbling idiot within
an hour.

The other is woman with dis

struggles and brushes imaginary
things off her clothes. Both

He Loved Maize

Now, you can accuse Joe of
anything in the world, and
stand a chance of being right.
But one thing he deserves
credit for. He actually loved
the frail Maize with all his
heart. He was crazy about her
The Washington times., 1932-08-15
He Would Reform

That brought him to his
senses more than any one
thing that had happened. He
resolved from that point on
never to play a prank again
no matter how innocent. And
when Maize forgave him for
what had happened, he cried.
During the following spring
the small harmless snakes got
so thick around the farmhouse
that Maize refused to venture
outside. Joe tried to convince
her that the reptiles we're
harmless, but it did no good.
She trembled even when she
thought of them.
Joe tried working the farm
by himself, but he wasn't max
ing enough headway. Work
which Maize usually did he
had to do himself. And soon
he realized that he was away
behind in the planting and
ploWing.
To his mind, there was only
one thing to do. Cure her of
her snake fear. How? That
was simple. Joe went out one
morning, Speared big slither-
ing snake. and snapped its
neck. Then, unknown to Maize,
he brought it in the house.

Ry QUENTIN REYNOLDS

NEW YORK, July G.N.Sl
John D. Rockefeller celebrated
his ninety-third birthday today
and as usual he issued a CHEEKY
statement in6orsing the nation,
liberty, fresh air, free wheeling
and Rockefeller oil.
He also added that he felt
sure prosperity was on its way
back.
AS a move toward economy,
John D. omitted his customary
birthday party. Perhaps he
thinks he's getting too old for
such nonsense. The elimination
OF the party will at least pre-
vent the guests from coming
out of the Rockefeller home
and saying, "A good dime was
had by ALL"
It's Dime for Economy
John D. hasn't given out many
dimes lately, which is just an.
other sign Of the times. He
used to present them to people
with such whimsical jests as
"a dime in time saves nine, ("
which would be all right for a
cat with nine lives but not so
appropriate today when nearly
everyone is leading a dogs life.
The oil magnate has given up
golf. Perhaps he thinks golf is
an old mans game and he won't
bother with it for another few
years. Or maybe he thinks golf
is too expensive and it's time to
put aside a few pennies for his
old age.
There was a time when a
golfer would use a dozen balls in
one round of golf. Now he uses
one ball for a dozen rounds. The
profession Of caddying has be-
come as extinct as the anti
macasser and the good five-cent
cigar.
Like the Oily Bird
Golfers no longer hire caddies.
It is a question of self defense.
On every club house porch you'll
find a group of serious thinkers
looking for someone to touch.
They don't bother with men who
tee off carrying their own bags

submarine Promethee, which
went down near here yester-
day with 63 men, was def.

were voiced that some of the
missing men may be alive.
The craft was located through
a telephone buoy discovered on
the surface of the water and be.

the craft after 10 went down.
In Paris the minister Of marine
announced:
"The telephone buoy seems to
be attached to the wreck, and
bubbles are coming to the sur.
face"
This was the first indication Of
life aboard the Promethee since
it went down at p. m. yesterday.

still may be alive in sealed com.

Seven On Deck Saved
Seven of those aboard the ship,

about 40 minutes after the craft
sank. They were on deck when

TISSUE Of LIES
/. BRAND PUT ON
HIS DEFENSE
"Don't Know What III Do"
Says ShriVeIIed Rector,
Stunned by Finding
BY LINTON WELLS

LONDON, July 8 Q.N.S.).
The Rev. Harold Francis
Davidson, rector of Stiffkey,
today was found guilty of all
the charges of immoral con-
duct filed against him in con-
nection with his relations with
London girls.
A formal judgment to this
effect was delivered in consistory
court by Chancellor F. K. North.
The chancellor's findings will be
forwarded to the Bishop of Nor
wich, who will decide what action
shall be taken against the 60
year-old pastor whose trial was a
sensation throughout England.
Branded as Liar
Davidson, who arrived in court
is minutes after the proceedings
started and walked Sprucely
down the aisle to his seat, was a
Shrivelled man after Chancellor
North's decision and the added
remark that Davidson "goeS
down as an absolutely diScredited
witness upon whose oath no reli-
ance can be placed"
Davidson was in a daze. He
said simply:
IL don't know what / shall
do"
The chancellor found Davidson
guilty of the following charges:
Immorally conducting him.
: self with Rose Ellis from Sep
tember, 1921, to November,
1881.
HabitualIy Immoral
Immorally annoying and
making improper suggestions to
a waitress in a London tea
shop in August, 1929.
Immorally embracing young
women in q Chinese restaurant
in Bloomsbury in November
1891. =.
Habitually associating himself
IN the last five years with
women of loose character for
immoral purposes, referring TO
Barbara Harris and others.
Certain occasional instances
of immOraIIy mOlesting young
women.
Tissue Of Lies"
Chancellor North said David
sons evidence regarding his asso-
citation with Rose Ellis was
"tissue of lies" and added:
81 don't believe him."
Davidson contended throughout
his trial that he had associated
with Rose Ellis, Barbara Harris
and other girls mentioned, for
the purpose of uplifting them and
guiding them socially. Said
Chancellor North:
"The rector said he used to
take a girl and pull down her
mouth like a horse and look at
her teeth. / almost wondered
Well, 1 won't say what 1 won
dered.
"It is significant that he only
pressed his attentions on attrac-'
tive girls. l think that regard
ing women he was certainly
mad. believe his intentions
were immoral"

of 1892, Reverend Davidson faces
unfrocking and expulsion from
the church. He will be allowed
