The Meaning Lillian Mead Into Dicky'*

"Mornln' Mis' Graham. I^ooklt!
Here's a telegram for you. Yen.

to see. old Doc Denton, yes. ma'am.
And Jest as 1 was comln' out of bin
office, the telegraph fellow over at
the station was Just coming out, and
he giv* me this message. Yes. ma'am!
Wasn't that funny that I Jest hap-
pened to be comln* out?"
Jerry Titer, shambling, awkward,
but with such honest good nature
shining In his ruddy boyish face that
one simply had to smile kindly at
him, or to mark ones self a hope-
less misanthrope, delivered his mon-
ologue much as If he were "reciting
n piece" In school, while I hastily
scanned the contents or the yello*
envelope which he handed me.
"Yes. Jerry, that was funny," I
said mechanically, then rousing my
nelf to the inquiry which I know the
boy expected. I asked solicitously
"Is Lady %ery sick?"
"Yes. ma'am, shea pretty slcl
When I got up this morning, she wa:
all doubled up with colic, but I gat-
her a quart of turpentine and watei
.ind she felt a little better. But old
Doc Denton, he's got a splendid med-
Icine for colic, so I went down to
wee him and get some. You oughl to

The aigfct of Lillian s face with its
patent atruggle to smother Its laugh

me to keep my own face straight. 1

"That won't he necesaary. Jerry,'

come to you for It, and now I wish
you'd go out and count all the chick-
ens carefully. If they're all there
you ntedn t come In again, but If
they are missing, tell me at once."
"Yes. ma'am." Jerry bustled off ex
cltedly. "Y"ou know. Mis' Graham
chicken thieves might have been
around alter all."
His voice held a distinctly hopeful
note, and I knew that Jerry s love of
"something happening"—that boon so
desired by lonely country-bred youth
- was involuntarily triumphing over
his loyal Interest In our property.
"As long as that telegram Is not
bad news." Lillian said, as the door
closed after him. "a fact I know
from your unruffled face, will you
enlighten me as to this mysterious
l*dy who is given a quart of turpen-
tine and water, and whose colic
medicine our Jerry so solicitously
offers you? I trust for your sake It
has nothing like turpentine in it."
Through my laughter at her puz-
tled expression there ran a swift lit-
tle feelings of elation that my face
had been of a "poker" one to deceive
so astute an observer as Lillian. For
the news In my wire, while not ex-
actly bad was still disturbing, and
1 *\as glad indeed that she had con-
sidered my lace "unruffled."
"That's Lasj."
" 'Lady.' Is a new acquiaition of
Jerry's," I explained. "She is an old,
broken-down horse, one of a series
which he has bought cheaply, nursed
and sold more cheaply, or lost by
death. You would know thla." I
added severely. "If you spent more
time Informing yourself as to the
business of the neighbors and less
on the affairs of the nation."
"Peccavl! I'eccavi!" she cried,
laughing. "But I am relieved to
know you will not be expected to
take the colic medicine. And I take
off my hat to Jerry's optimism."
"It la unconquerable." I returned.
Then I held out my telegram to her. i

In those days, deer, running wild
over the country, cut sharp gullies

popularity in France almost rivals
that of Georges Carpentier. He is a
versatile boxer and easily adapts
himself to the style of his opponent
in the ring. He has massive should-

forearms, which counts much in de-
livering K. O. blows. He made a
great record In Australia and Is
wanted there again for a series of

Michael Collins, helping the Irish
to run their own country, says that
Jews from Russia and Poland will-
be welcome in Ireland. That proves
Mr. Collins's intelligence. He know >
what Jews have done to build up in-
dustry and prosperity in this coun-
try, and he would like them to do the
same In Ireland. Duplication on a
smaller scale of New York's Fifth-
avenue or Chicago's State street
would start a prosperity boom in
Dublin. There are plenty of Jew«i
in Eastern Russia that would do the
work with a little encouragement.
They know how. understand both-
production and distribution, and they

Conan Doyle has more message#'
from dead relations, all "genuine."
One spirit stroked bis arm, another

Miss Kingley's interesting book oa
Africa. A witch doctor told the
savage king an enemy had bewitched
him and made a small crocodile
grow in the King's stomach. Thai
doctor wanted to get rid of the acv
••used, and d4d.
A small crocodile was put in m
receptacle, in a dark room. AnH
emetic given to the African king sup--
plied the evidence. He saw tha*
• rocodile and sentenced his enchant
ter to death. It was "perfect evH
•lence." Those that want to believe^
find It easy to believe. Neverthe-'
less, human spirits do not come hacte
here to beat tambourines, lift tables,,
and say "Mamma is happy."
No matter what our destiny ma>*
be after death, It can't be as Bllljfj
as that.
Since Queen Elizabeth had a thou-*
sand dresses hanging in her palace*
and no bath tub by the way—meni
have asked "Do women dress to
please men, to please themselves or*
to make other women envious?"
Part of the question Is answered
by news from the Bedford Reformat
tory for Women.
There, locked behind walls, hid*
den from every male human eye*
young women are accused of dress*
ing "in flapper style," and rules for*
bid short skirts, powdered noses, lipi
sticks, rouge, etc. Managers saj*
the rules are necessary "to improved
morals." Why, if no man sees?
Women dress in fancy colors. anJ
fancy ways, and men do not for thla
reason. Among animals, the pea-*
cock has* his feathers, the jungla
fowl his wierd dance, to attract th*
ladies of their species.
Among human beings, in tha
struggle for existence, women have!*
been obliged to go out after the men.
Hence they compete with each other,
even behind reformatory walls.
War ends, but not its troubles.
There is a revolution in Bulgaria,
King Boris driven out. red flags fly-
ing. It is one thine for solemn allie*
to meet at Versailles and decide id

it is another thing to keep them
going. To combine small countries*
into big countries, small businesses
into big businesses is the successful
plan—usually.
Trotzky, who looks like the lat*
Joseph Pulitzer, and has the same*
blood, a powerful mixture of Jewish
and far.eastern, tells his army they*
may have "to conquer the capitalist
states of the world."
It's a large undertaking, a credit!
to his daring. Many have started,
out to conquer capital, only to bo
conquered by capital in return.
If capitalist states were wise, es-
pecially this capitalist state, they
would give Russia a chance to get
j rich. There was depth in Joseplf
Pulitzer's solemn remark: "Bris-*
bane. Brisbane, if you ever get any
money, which you never will, yoif
will find that your opinions wilfc
change."
Will the radio make the newspa*
per unnecessary? Not if Government
controls the radio. The value of a
j newspaper resides in the fact that
the government does NOT control it.
The other day in Washington*
| when the woman suffrage leaders*
dedicated their building with en-
thusiasm, they were not allowed to
use radio to send their speeches*
broadcast. Newspapers can print the
woman's side and any other sidei
without permission. And what is
plainly printed and slowly read is
more effective than what comes bub-
? bling in over the wire through the

The Reverend Dr. Marquis, an ex-
