Writes Graphic Account of
Night in Woods.
BY JOAN THOMPSON

We were hopelessly lost in swamp
surrounded by thick foliage and dark
woods. We pushed our way through
the tall grass of the swamp. The water
in the swamp was ice cold and it was
up to our waists. The water was too
deep for little "Mugsy' so Russell car
ried him on his shoulders. We finally
got out of the swamp. Our shoes were
covered with mud and were soaked to
the skin.
1t was growing darker and the mos
quitos were terrible. realized we would
have to find some place to sleep for
the night. We came to a hill which
seemed to be a good place to stay.
It was cold and we didn't have any
jackets or coats to cover us. We had
often heard about people getting lost
and we knew that the most important
thing was not to get panicy and not
to separate from one another. Russell
suggested cutting pine boughs to cover
us for the night. We all started to
work stripping tree of its branches
When We had enough of them, we
crawled under a large sheltering pine
tree. We made pillows of some Of the
boughs and put the rest over us.
"Mugsy," the little boy, years old
was instantly asleep. The rest of us
tried to sleep, but couldn't. June anc
I were just doing off to sleep wher
we heard the shreiking of siren. We
saw car lights and searchlights way of
in the distance. 'They are hunting
for u.s." June said. With new hope We
shouted as loud as we could. But it wa.

discouraged and frightened. "Mugsy'

we stopped singing he laughed and said

We looked at one another in disgust a

It rained little during the night. Il

After a while, we saw the smoke again

We were glad to be home because W

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The death of Governor Floyd
B. Olson has removed from
Minnesota one of it's most able
citizens and man of brilliant
talents. AS a speaker he was
unexcelled and he was recog-
nized as probably the most eff
fective campaign orator in the
state. Governor Olson was the
Farmer-Labor party of Mime
sofa and his ability for organi-
cation kept this party alive.
Personally he was beloved
character and he numbered
among his personal friends
citizens of every political, re-
ligious and civic group in the
nation.
The rise of Governor Olson
again demonstrated to the
youth of the land what can be
accomplished in this country OF
equal opportunity. He began
life in a modest Minneapolis
home forty-five years ago
Studying nights, he became
prominent lawyer and was cleo
ted county attorney of Henne

that are useful do not interfere
with each other.
'"There are more horses now

the automobile was invented.
There is a greater tonnage Of

"The radio will increase news

Capital Observes
Most Prosperous
Christmas

The most prosperous, the warm
est, the most joyous Christmas IN
many years was celebrated yester-
day by Washington.
Under a flecklesS sky, the mer-
curry scared to So degrees in the
afternoon. 1t was something like
April, but despite the regrets of
children to whom Santa Claus had
brought ice skates and sleds there
didn't seem to be much diSSatiS-
faction that the 1896 Christmas
was not a white Christmas.
Everywhere there seemed to be
the greatest Christmas since the
fat '20'S. Nobody appeared to have
been forgotten.
Parties for Poor
Throughout the day, Washing
tons poor were feted with parties
and the distribution of gifts-at
the Navy Yard where the Saliva.
ton Army gave a party for the
children of the Southwest section;
at Children's tuberculosis Sani-
tarium at Glenn Dale, Md; at the
Community Christmas Tree, Sev-
enth Street and Pennsylvania Ave

Even at the jail Christmas was
not overlooked. In addition to a
Christmas dinner, the prisoners
were treated to entertainment
from the Cocoanut Grove. The
Central Union Mission, the Volun-
teerS of America and the Salvation
Army made merry at their mis-
sionS.
President Roosevelt and his fam
lily led the celebration of Christ
mas in Washington. The day Was
celebrated in traditional Roosevelt
style, with the baby RooseveltS

credited the cartoonist with
originating the entire idea and
virtually debating the editorial.
Often artists of rare skill in
drawing but limited scholastic
training would be startled to
read the erudite essays of BriS-
bane on the spiritual and
aesthetic intent of their carica-
lures. Some of them even got
to believe they had written the
editorials and executed the
whole page.
Wrote Own Thoughts
He was that persuasive. For
years, the opinion prevailed
among the uninformed that
the voice of Brisbane expressed
the thoughts of Hearst. Yet
the fact is that probably there
never was a freer writer.
Lesser neWspapermen have
achieved transient fame with
books under titles like IT
Write as I Please" and Nov
1t Can Be Told" but Arthur
Brisbane not merely wrote what
he pleased but-far more i'm
portant-published it before
the eyes of 3O,OOO,OOO families
and it was his habit to write
of events and incidents as they
happened.
Once a week. or oftener, he
reviewed a book. He COM
planned sometimes that he
seemed unable to catch up
with the reading he should
have done in his youth. Scar.
city of time bothered him more
than anything else. He could
spare none for the theater nor
for music. AS editor of the
Mirror, he managed to add
eight columns of editorials a
week to his schedule and find
time to raise SouthdoWn sheep
on his big farm in Allaire, N. j.
\YeS, he was a farmer and
understood the farm problem,
with acres in New Jersey, in
California, in Florida, and he
used to try to figure out why
he had to sell alfalfa for $40
ton on the California acreage
and pay $25 a ton to buy it in
New Jersey for his stock.
Blue suits and Panama hats,
roast mutton and Bordeaux
wine, diluted in French fashion,
were among his preferences.
He was a man without a hobby.
He promised Cosmopolitan
Magazine to write an autobi-
ography about five years ago
but even when he reduced his
sleeping schedule to six hours,
he could not fit it in-and any,
way he did not like to write
or talk about himself. He did
not like to talk at all.
But he was a wonderful lis
