I've always eyed women in
political jobs somewhat dubi-
ously, but a man S got to change
his mind sooner or later.
There are three capable women
HJver in the capital building.
Hannah Kempfer, representa-
tive, smart and likeable. Rep
Macbeth Hurd Paige, who has a
smart little bill proposing that
lengths Of motor lorries be re-
stricted (you know these auto
robile-carrying lorries about
half a block long And last,
but positively not the least,
| Mrs. Blanche LaDu, chairman
| of the state board Of control.
Single-handed she's done more
| to humanize Minnesota penal
and corrective institutions than
any other factor or organiza-
ton in the state. When she runs
for governor, she can have my
vote-and that's going a darn
long way for me.
| Two fellows, one an acquaint-
ance Of mine, were driving
along Twenty seventh and Hen
nepin, when one Of them grab
bed the other by the arm and
yelled, "Look!" Red flames
were shooting from the CHM
ney Of a nearby house. Deter
mined to be heroes, my friends
tore to the rescue and nobly
as we'll as hastily and thunder
ously, knocked on the front
door. A female thrust her head
out and inquired what they
wanted. Your house is on fire, "
bawled one of the boys. eve
saw flames shooting outa the
chimney" The woman was not
: perturbed. She said, "Oh,
/ that's only the incineFator. 1t
always does that.
) An eight-year-old youngster
decided to play hero also, the
other day during the cold spell.
Usually recalcitrant W h e e
school was concerned, one day he

with his breath smoking the

MEET one of the strangests the
Iva most sad and pitiful victims
that modern fiction has given us in
long time.
Her name is Harriet wye, tempo
rary delivery agent for the British
postoffice of Priorminster in the
south of Dorset in England,
You will meet her in "Gallows
Seed" by Princess Paul Troubetz-
koy, published today by Claude
Kendall $3.50.
Harriet did not have an exciting
life with her widowed mother in a
little cottage with a small plot Of
ground where foxgloVe, gentian,
strange roots and herbs were raised.
Mrs. wye, although not regular
doctor, cured most of the aches and
pains of the young and old in the
village that overlooked a great Brit
ish prison,
Harriet brought in a little money
by using her bicycle to deliver mail
during the war.
With no young men in the vii
lage during the war, Harriet grew
up a clean minded child, with love
for the air of the farmlands in sum-
mer and the bleak landscape in
dreary winter.
She loved dogs, and between her
and Peter, a big sheep dog who was
her companion from puppyhood,
grew great love and understand
ing.

was responsible for Harriets dis
grace as we'll as her death-was the
silent evidence which put the moose
around the neck of Capt. Savers,
war officer, who was gasSed and
went to live on solitary farm near
PriOrminSter.
Savers not only was hanged for
the murder of this simple, natural
girl, but he saw all her innocence
and hope Of living washed away be-
fore his very eyes.
''Gallows Seed" is not a murder
mystery, but a serious study of the
cause of murder. 1t is one novel
that is not overloaded with many
characters introduced for the puE-
pose to confuse the reader and shield
the villain.
1t is not a story of stark hor-
ror because the author has gone
deep into the mental and emotional
sides of the murderer.
"Gallow's Seed" is a powerfully
written book and one that will es-
tablish the author as a really great
writer.

court at Malmaison with her usual
extravaganza. Napoleon was an
noyed by the debts she managed to
pile up, and made pointed refer
ences to the orderly expenditures
Of Marie Louise, who would forego
new gown rather than go into
debt.
After Napoleon's defeat, which
gave Paris to the enemy, Josephine
fed to her castle in Navarro. When
she heard of Napoleon's Punishment
to Elba, she said to her daughter
Hortense: IF I we're his wife, how
gladly 1 would hurry to HIM"
After that an overwhelming
melancholy seized her. The great
heart of Josephine was broken. The
dazzling light of Napoleon had
gone out of her life. And in the
darkness her mind became con-
fused, her body grew weak. Final
ly she took to her bed and lapsed
into delirium. Three names came
from her parched lips, over and
over: 'Bonaparte, Marie Louise,
Elbal" These were the stations
along the road she had travelled
to victory, and defeat. There was
no need living any longer. On
June 90, 1914, she died.
These two romances of the great
Napoleon are highlights of the ro-
mantle literature of all time When
Marie Louise married him, she
hated him. When Josephine mar
ried him, she certainly did not love
him. But the hearts of both of
these women, so strangely contrast
ed, were overwhelmed by Ma
poleon's forceful ardor.
Now, for the first time, in these
newly discovered letters which will
be published by The Times, the
world will be able to get an init
mate glimpse of Napoleon's great
est campaign - his fierce struggle
for the love of a woman reared to
hate him.
