ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.
(From noon today to noon tomorrow.)
Sun sets 5:57, rises C:24; moon rises
9:56 p. m.; moon at greatest libration

The trouble with the Russian mind
is that it is wholly unable to under
stand the American mind in its broad
inclusiveness of all mankind as enti
tled to the liberties and immunities
of American citizenship. The Rus
sian mind must widen before it can
reach us.
Two bunco steeres, pointing out a
Chicago water tower to a pilgrim
were about to sell it to him for $5000
when a policeman came along. High
finance has never been as high in
Chicago as in New York, but, if this
trick could have been turned, Wall
Street would have had to look to its
laurels.
MOTION PICTURES. IN .POLITICS
If kept free from claptrap the film
shows can make a hit this year in
national affairs. This is a big coun
try, with territory nearly half way
around the world. It covers many
climates and races, with the Amer
ican type highly predominant. Why
not cultivate motion pictures in which
the intelligent advancement of all
the people is the aim? We have
troops on police duty in China. Not
much known of our more than
3000 islands in the Philippines group.
Hawaii is a region of pictorial inter
est, and so are Porto Rico and Guan
tanamo. The oversea railroad to
Key West is unique. Irrigation pro

invite the camera. The Mexican bor

VATED AND SEEDED FOR THE BEST INFLUENCE.
Sending city bred children delinquents to the country is of no use
tnless provision is made for their proper training. Country "values"
are not incident to living close to the soil. The country youth must be
EDUCATED AND INTERESTED IN THE THINGS THE
COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER
THE DANGER THAT HAS EXISTED, ONE THAT STILL EXISTS,
IS THAT THE IMAGINATION OF THE MAN WHO DOES HARD FARM
WORK SHOULD BE STUNTED. APPLY INTELLECT TO FARMING
AND THE IMAGINATION IS GIVEN A CHANCE TO FLOURISH.
, Imagination is a valuable asset to all endeavor. It gives grasp,
reach and grip. But the only way the farm boy has been- able to get
food for his imagination in the past ha3 been by GOING TO THE
CITY. The city boy has had the advantage of culture, such forces as
Homer and early reading to startlejiim out of himself, distribute his
interests and keep him from the worst forms of immorality.
THAT IS THE CASE FOR THE COUNTRY. IT HAS ADVANTAGES
IF ONLY THEY CAN BE UTILIZED; BUT, LIKE THE POWER IN THE
FALLS OF NIAGARA FOR SO LONG, THEY HAVE BEEN WASTING.
der is a stirring place. Current pub
lic events are an inexhaustible sub
ject for illustration..
Scurrying cowboys and dime novel
sentimentalism have had more than
a fair share of attention in picture
shows. As for scenes with a politi
cal significance it will be necessary
if audiences are to be pleased, to
steer clear of the buncombe of de
magogues. The United States is an
infinetly bigger proposition than any
man is or ever can be unless its form
of government suffers a fatal change
So if politics is to be introduced on'
the screens let it be views that ac
cord with the greatness of the people
themselves, their sovereign powers,
and their country."
PUBLIC QUESTIONS
The city council at the meeting to
night will be urged to donate a site
for the Carnegie Library, to provide
a public dock, and a public play
ground. These questions were to have
ben considered at a meeting of the
council and Commercial Club Com
mittees Tuesday night but owing to
a small attendance it was decided to
wait until tonight. There is consid
erable objection against the library
beng located in McLoughlin Park, and
unless a site is obtained soon Mr.C ar
negie will withdraw his propositon.
Sues For Land
Charles H. Menchinger filed suit
Tuesday in the Circuit Court against
J. M. Olds and Albina Olds, his wife,
for the recovery of a small tract of
land in the S. S. White D. L. C and
for $200 damages for alleged wrong
fully witholding of the land from the
plaintiff. This action is commenced
for the purpose of establishing the
true line between the .lands of the
plaintiff and the defendants. Plaint
iff is represented by the law firm of
Dimick & Dimick.

. His Great Scheme.
The aggressive young man elbowed
his way into the private office.
"I have a great scheme," he asserted,
"to boom your headache remedy."
"What Is it?" grunted the manufac
turer. "Give away sheet music with your
card printed x on It all the popular
songs of the day."
"What's so great about that scheme?"
"Why, man, don't you see? You are
not only advertising tbe remedy, but
creating a demand for it as well."

Kissing Under the Mistletoe.
The custom of kissing under the
mistletoe is so old that It would be
useless to attempt to tell just when or
how it originated. There is a very
ancient Scandinavian legend which
tells us that one of the goddesses who
loved Baldur, the god of light, upon
that god's restoration to life after he
had been killed by an arrow of mistle
toe wood shot by the bad god Loke,
kissed all who passed under the plant
as a token that It was no longer a
weapon of death, but a symbol of love.
The custom of kissing under the mis
tletoe is almost as old as the Scandi
navian, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon
peoples themselves. New York Amer

Funerals In Scotland.
In Scotland the custom still prevails
of taking down the window blinds at
a death and hanging white sheets
across the windows. The custom also
prevails in the north of England, and
in many families a special sheet re
served for the death chamber Is kept
for the purpose, and often used from
generation to generation. In many
parts of Scotland, too. it is still cus
tomary for the nearest relatives of the
deoeiised to lower the body into the
rave and wait by the side until the
grave Is tilled up. Loudon MaiL
' Napoleon and Wellington.
Napoleon was a rnuih greater mili
tary fjeuius than Wellington. The man
who was accidentally overthrown by
Wellington and Blucber at Waterloo
was one of the three or four greatest
military geniuses that the race has
produced. If it had not ruined -oi the
night of the 17tu of Juue Napoleon
would have bad Wellington beaten to
a finish long before Blurber's arrival,
and the history of Europe and of the
world would have been an altogether
different thing from what it is. Wel
lington was a good general, but Napo
leon was more than that. He was a
supremely great battle winner, as
much above Wellington as Wellington
was above his privates. Exchange.
Origin of the Banjo.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century in the town of Banjoemas, on
the Island of .rava. a negro native de
termined to construct n musical Instru
ment for his own use. Taking a cheese
box and heading it with a goatskin, he
ran a handle through it. and. adapting
violin strings tuned to the first, third,
fifth and eighth notes of an octave, he
christened it a banjo, from the first
two syllables of his uative town. Grad
ual improvements on this rough and
ready .instrument were made, and about
the middle of the centnrv It crnsaori tho
Atlantic and. though unpopular in Lon-
aon at nrst. soon became well liked.

Strike Scenes at Lawrence,
Where 50,000 Workers Went Out

Photos by American Press Association.
1AWRENCE, Mass., takes Its place among the American cities which in the
last few years have been the scene of the most serious conflicts be
a tween capital and labor. With two regiments of militia and a strong
body of metropolitan police to re-enforce the local force the city has
been practically under martial law, while frequent disturbances resulted in
bloodshed and death. The arrests of strike leaders en the charge of being
accessories to murder and of a city o'fflcial for his alleged "planting" of dyna
mite to discredit the strikers have been notable features of the dispute. The
first of our photographs shows militiamen keeping the crowd of strike sym
pathizers back with their bayonets; the second the crowd closing about one
of the electric cars which were attacked because they carried strike breakers. -
WARD AND JOHNSON
WILL ' HAVE IT OUT.
BaMball Fates Have Again Brought
Together Two of Game's Fa
mous Characters.
It begins to look as if the fates at
least baseball fates have picked out
John M. Ward and Ban Johnson for
their prey. For years now John Mont
gomery and Big Ban have been war
ring against one another.
Last December, when Ward bought
his way into the Boston National
league club, it looked as if they would
no' longer have reason for keeping up
their old feud. But that is where the
fates played a trick on both.
In baseball circles Ban Johnson is
looked upon as the owner of the Bos
ton American league franchise. The
sale of the club recently to Jim Mc
Aleer and Rob McRoy made the know
Ing ones smile. McRoy was Johnson's
secretary before he cut in on the Bos
ton club.
i Neither McAleer nor McRoy has been"
credited with being a wealthy man. It
has never been given out just who are
their backers, but those on the inside
of baseball are confident that It was
Johnson who put up the money.
With Johnson the owner of the Bos
ton Americans and Ward president of
the Boston Nationals, these old rivals

tract for Davis that enabled tbe player
to mqke the American league buckle
down to his demands.
Two years ago, when Ward ran for
president of the National league. John
son evidently decided that the time
had arrived to even up old scores and
succeeded in blocking Ward's election.
Johnson gave out. or was accused of
giving out. statements that hurt Ward's
candidacy. Incidentally John Mont
gomery thought the statements re
flected upon his tntegrity and went
into court Here Ward won again, as
he was given a verdict of $1,000.
If Ward makes good with the Bos
ton Nationals he will not alone have
accomplished a big thing for the Na
tional league, but he will at the same
time be putting over another jolt on
bis old enemy. If the Boston Nation
als prove a winner under Ward it
means that the patronage of the Bos
ton Americans will be injured, and that
means that Johnson's pocketbook will
suffer.
