" ' r , ? . ; - " " - 77 : i - - t,., President Harding will likely find the Congress that will meet in December next more sympathetic than the one that is now in its last gasps, towards his proposal that we join the Court of International Justice; and that bunch of for eigners who live in the alien ' country yclept the District of Columbia will observe that the attitude of the people of he United States will gradually grow less sympathetic, in re- 'spect to world relationships and sympathies, towards the ideas that, prevailed in the noodles of the Pharisees of old and those of the priest and Levite who passed by . on,, the : other side. ; : . f !

The .distance from the tips ' of - ' his : fingers on one . hand to the - tips of . the fingers on the other -' gives the size of' . the - middle - piece.. The height from the floor - to i; the ; crown of his head sup plies the length of the two cen- ! ter pieces, or spines. Next meas ure, the distance from . the walst ' line' to the top of the head.

In fact, it is well to ajrnt8h each string as this makes it f taut and adds to the strength.

She meant to sneak out in the park for a little 4 run be fore her mother was up, J and would Insist that she ride. ' ' ) "Oh, I wish I were, poor, she sighed for the tenth timej that morning." "I wish I( were a lit tle Mahoney witji six brothers and sisters and - no automobiles and servants, and with a mother like Mrs. 7 Mahoney who "woud stay at home and do her own v.ork ,and , I - could help Iro4 and bake and take care of the baby.' ' Flora stopped short on the top step. There , before her was ;a big bundle. . What; could it be? As 'she looked, her eyes big arid black, with surprise," thel funniest little noise came from,.'-" It was like a j baby- crying. '" "WhateTer could It be? It moved. Quickly Flora grabbed up . the little bun dle. It wasa baby. It really was! Oh, how could any one do such a thing! t She had read of cruel mothers who didn't want their babies and ; left them on some one's doorstep. She unwrapped the blanket mere was a niue gurgling- iauga and the cutest little, pink .and white fellow smiled up 1b her face. Flora tore Into the house and up to her mother's room. -Oh, Mother. ? couldn't I K keep Ijim?" she panted. Couldn't; IT" "Flora!" Mrs, Ferguson gasp ed, sitting down suddenly on the edge of the bed..

"But yon must." Flora's mother was becoming Impatient. "Don't be silly, Flora, r YOU know we can't, keep him. ) What else can -we do?" .Flora sighed. .

From this resolution I have in " no instance departed.: Being still under the impressions which produced It I muse decline any share In the per sonal emoluments which may be Included in a permanent provision for the executive department. Since the times, of George our pa triots have grown more tractable In the matter of accepting money from the government. The nation was hard up In the days of Wash ington, but It did not owe one mil lionth part of its present indebted ness. Nevertheless our statesmen are seen ''fighting at the. public trough for all the spoil that may be obtainable. George loved his country .Modern patriots love it so well that they are glad to be supported by , it. MARY CUNNINGHAM LOGAX Editor Statesman:' - Recent press dispatches an nouncing the death of the widow of the late General John A. Logan is to me a sad reminder of, the fi nal closing of all earthly scenes to a generation "passing over' to ioln.the great majority : some where on the other side, '.'Can anything good come out of Naz ereth? Come and see." William son county, - Illinois, with f Its county seat, Marion, held almost as unenviable position before' the country during and a few years following; the Civil war as ft does today -in its orgy of murder .and wholesale ( official . whitewash. During the Civil war Marion, was a hot bed of active' southern sym pathizers commonly ' ' known as "copperheads The , principal leader of this unsavory bunch, when Uncle Sam's bounty money offer for enlistment had reached its apex, raised a regiment,: which was transported to Camp Butler, they were sworn In, drew-their uniforms, , equipment and bounty then deserted almost in a solid body. During the remainder of the war, another regiment quar tered in Marion, spent all' It's time and energy trying to round .up these deserters. . . ' , It was during this period that a reign of lawlessness and terror sprung' vp , almost Indescribable.. Feuds engendered lived for sev eral years after wlfh tragic re sults. My uncle by marriage was during these times, and for many HTTMOH PLAT . WOiiS - Edited by John EL Millar going to take him, to the Home unless she ' had . to. Some owe of her mother's friends would surely love to have ' him. ' Flora had a busy day.. , $he visited every friend of her mother's,. ut it was no . use; No one-1 wanted a. baby, not even such; an ador able baby as Flora had free ot charge, t It. was late and Flora ws coming home completely dis courged when she met Mrs, Ma honey, the gardener's wife. Al most In tears : Flora told ' her, about the baby. "Oh, v I , just can't bear to take him to the Home," she' cobbed. ' ' . . "I should say not," declared Mrs. Mahoney, "not a fine baby like that. " We have ! only, six, so one more won't make much difference. Would yon , help me take care of him, Flora? Flora's shining eyes gave no fioubt of her answer. ! I PICTURE PUZZLE :j ' FILL BOTH BLAKSKS BELOW : WITH WORDS USING THE SAME LETTERS I LOST MY DIAMOND 1NTHE Atltw t yesterd.y'i: BU Excellency, Ambasdor t Spain. , . , and flour mill operator ' in the prairie that took his ' name and has so recently' become thrf 'scene of one of the most shocking and brutal' tragedies' ever enacted in the name of union . labor. Out' of this' wicked Nazereth, another Mary sprang up to honor her sex, and point -the way to better things. She was the daughter ot John Cunningham, 'Who had long1 been a resident of "the little city of Marion, Ills. Her " father died while in government service some where "out west" In the seven ties, I think. She had one bro ther, "Hybe" Cunningham, who wore a gray uniform in active ser vice during the Civil war and at-, tained the rank of colonel - ' Marlon has other claims to dis tinction. It . was the boyhood home ot Bob IngersolL From here when a boy he used to drive the old horse and buggy oyer muddy, stumpy roads through primeval forests for his reverend father to some log school house appoint ment away , back in the woods. Maybe the -memory of some of these dismal Crips lingered. I wonder? Marion was the early home of the Hon. William Joshu- away Allen, the "Silver tongued" orator, who gained fame as an ad vocate before the bar immediate ly following Lincoln. In this little town Logan first wrestled with Blackstone and poverty, and finally madia the richest strike. of his life when he met and won Mary Cunningham. They were married sometime in the (fifties, m (I was only a small boy and don't remember dates), and from that day to the Gener al's death in Washington, no finer example of team work has ever been noted. Logan's restless en ergy and ambition, guided very largely by "the gentle leading in-. fluence of his no less ambitious wife, soon won recognition. It was a hard hard fight. From childhood till he broke the "lead ing strings," his environment and training had been the exact an tithesis of all now struggled; for. His father iras a prominent sport ing man, and John A. being small of stature and very active was early trained; to rjde. In. the straightaway speed r ' contests "" of the period, j 1 1 have often heard one of my uncles tell of the time his mount fell with him, and after sliding some j thirty feet he was carried off the field unconscious. His education was almost If not entirely neglected. , His dark com plexion, and long raven locks, earned, for him the title, "tne Black Eagle. Later during the war j he was dubbed "Black Jack Logan." 'On breaking away h had I to lay j entirely, new founda tions before he could start build Ingi" Against all .handicaps, his indomitable ambition and energy never flagged. As a Douglas Democrat he became quite a pow er In ; "Egypt." Had gained dis- ndIon as aJawyer. Was elected to congress in' :'1858. ', Served through the Civil, war. Returned home with the rank of major gen eral. Back to congress In 1866. Served In the senate, from '71 to 1886, the year-ot his death. - For many years Logan, was the political idol of Illinois, and es pecially so of the southern part of the state. f : His success was attributed In the largest degree to the ever present influence- of his wife. Those whd knew him best would probably give a 50-50 split on all success achieved.- She possessed talent, tact and tenacity of pur pose that I challenged admiration, and generally won the objects sought. She was probably a bet ter politician than the general. The purity, sweetness and gentle feminine traits of her character were ever Ian inspiration to those who knew her best.- They - had two children'. John' A"., Jr., lost his life In the' Philippines during the SpanishiAmef lean war. Dolly married a young man by the name of Tucker, and soon- after the general,, her father, sent young Tucker back to Murphysboro, iils., Logan's boyhood home, to devel op some coal lands he owned near by. Having made a failure of this enterprise, he secured for him an appointment' to s,ome po sition in the army. In his 'ser vice he seems to have advanced to a prominent position. I think he was stationed for a while at Van couver barracks, and recently died near Hood ! River. , Newspaper readers know- tooNmuch that ' is unpleasant, about this . unfortu nate union. Let us forget it; as our prayers go out to the lonely, wid ow that survives. - Mary Logan engaged in literary work-soon after the death of the general in ; 1886. She made her home In Washington, and her in fluence for the best things has permeated the entire land. The world Is better . because Mary Cunningham Logan lived and wrought. ' R. B.
