congressman, this session's youngest,
has owed that quarter ever since he
was' 10. His creditor is Mrs. Fanny
Berry Bell, Alt. Oilead, Ohio, and she
has his note to prove it. It reads:
' Frcderlektown, 0.,
"$.23 March 10, 1901.
"For value ree'd I promise to pay
Fanny Borry Bell the sum of twenty
five cents with compound intercut at
0 per cent when I shall have made my
first speech in the State Legislature or
tho U. fi. Congress or shall have won
my first fight in either.
That note may account for the fact
that Dill is a national lawmaker at so
early ah ago. Ho simply couldn't wait
any longer to get that debt off his
mind. The circumstances were these:
Dill lived on a rented farm near
Frodorioktown, Ohio Mrs. Bell was
tho wife of tho ownor. On the corner
of the farm was tho Salem M. E.
church and ono day a box social was
announced for Saturday at the church.
Mrs. Bell asked young Dill if ho were
going. Nopo, didn't have the neccs
snry quarter, he explained cheerfully.
"I'll lend it to you," the said.
"Don't know when I can pay it
back," he demurred.
"Pay it back when you make your
first speech in Congress," she sug
gested. Dill, boinir a terribly earnest
young man, bad made no secrot of the
fact that ho was going to Congress
some day. The farm lad accepted the
monoy and drew up the note.
He hud a good time at the social, un

Five or six years lator ho fell into the

Johnson asked him what he was going

ONE OPINION OF FORD
Seattle Wins at Hockey.
Victoria, B. C, Dec. 11. The Seat
tle hockey team outplayed the Victoria
here lust night and won four goals to
three. Though the visitors had the bet
ter of the struggle, an unlucky stab
iu a futile attempt to protect his net
by McCulloeh, Victoria goal keeper,
gave Seattle the winning goal. ,
Patrick and tienge were tne aristocrat
stars. Morns, Wilson and Carpenter
were the Seattle stnrs.
Seattle started with a rush and scored
three goals in the first period. Each
team got one in the second. In the
last Victoria tried hard and rushed
through two goals but time was called
with Seattle in the lead.

"The war is changing all our habits
and interests. Art, in particular is
Buffering. Who cares for art Who is
buying pictures or going to see them J
Scarcely anybody.
"Art demands that we should con
tinue to piny tragedies. Who wants to
see tragedies played today when there
is the greatest tragedies to arrest the
attention and, how plainly sol People
demand to be made happy.
They cry out for the poultice to
soothe the ache caused by the war.
'Make us happy at' night,' they say,
'because m the daytime we are so mis
erable.' Who could refuse an answer
to that appeal"
And as business is business, the the
atres are making the people forget.
The psychology of a great civilian
people nt war is to bo found in Lon
don's theatres. Her seven milions gloat
over the tragic as it comes from the
blood-soaked battlefields; they lionize
the returning hero who has killed most,
they cry with joy as a hostile warship
sinks, they approve of war. But they
will have none of the tragic for trag
edy's sake.
The sentiment applies to the nation,
sny the psychologists who are making
a study oi civilian temperament in
war. The vaudeville
plenty of humor, th
faces are seen outside scores of Lon
don playhouses every afternoon anil
night, waiting to buy tickets to tho
galleries and stalls where t'uey can
laugh away tho worries and cares and
bury the sorrow of some soldier rela
tive who will never return. If a thea
tre manager elects to put tragedy in- .
to his performance tho box office re
ceipts soon dwindle.
Theatrical tragedy in war time i
foredoomed to failure.
Sir Arthur Pinero wrote ft drama
which he called the "Big Drum," the
finis of which found lovers parted and
heroine in tears. Tho unhappy ending
was logical and true, but the seeoml
night lomid empty scats. The third
performance found more empty seats
and Sir Arthur and his managers be
gan to seek the reason. It was the hu
man psychology of wartime. There wa
too much grief at tho curtain-fall.
The author has revamped tho Inst
act. Ho has united the loverB and his.
managers have rcstagod the play. it's
ending is happy and so are the crowd
thnt nightly flock to see it.
The psychologists have gone into the
ralnis ile movie. Here they find the
slap-stick comedios the most popular.

Engineer Motors Daily
To Mountain Summit
Tasndeua, Cnl., Dec. 11. When M. C
Dowd leaves his home for tho scene of I
his daily work, ho motors through a'
semi-tropical atmosphere, past orange,,
groves and tennis courts, toward nj
famous mountain peuk ono of the very!
few in the world which tho nccident of
conformation makes available to per
manent highway construction,
Mr. Dowd waves a snluto to the keep
er of the toll gate at the foot, opens
tho throttle of his Maxwell and begins
a metering experience which comes to
few pilots even once In a lifetime.
6,000 Feet la 9 Miles.
For 6,000 vertical foet more than a
mile hoary old Mount Wilson rears its
head into the clouds. Round and round
the baso of the lower crags but climb
ing, always climbing, leads a typical
southern California highway nine
miles from the foot to tho summit.
Often the road skirts tho bunk of a
perpendicular cliff. Many a turn seems
to lead straight off Into space but al
ways a quick twist of tho wheel re
veals more of tho ascent smooth, nar
row and steepor as the summit is
neared,
The timber lino Is pnssed and the
clouds are entered. Tho air cools. Of
ten, as the car nears tho summit. It
finds tho road covered with snow. But.
Dowd never pauses until ho reaches the
very ton where, in the shelter of the
fniiious Government Observatory, he
purks the Maxwell for tho day.
In the evening, with power shut off
and his trusty brakes steadying the
descent, Mr. Dowd coasts nine miles
back to the orange groves a trip cvon
more thrilling thun tho upward half of
the journey.
Familiarity, Mr. Dowd frankly ad
mits, has robbed tho mountain trip of a
great deal of its natural charm. Even
the knowledge that a momentary lapso
on his part or a fuiluro of a mcchiiiiicul
detail might send cur and driver to
sure destruction fails to afford a thrill
in the light of daily repetition.
Power, Cooling, Brakes.
"I'd bo willing to wnger I could
make the trip in the dark without
lights.," ho admits, "though the but
would have to bo ft fairly good ono.
As for the car, I never give It a
thought. Wo have throe Maxwells on
the mountain work now. Ono is a new
one, like mv own. The other has been
navigating the trail for more than two
years."
Hundreds of motorists essay the ML
Wilson trip each year and many of
them succeed. Powor, cooling ability
and good brakes are tho essenUuls.
