TALES OF

By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

THE LONE DEFENDERLondon.—Correspondence issued by
the foreign office showing that the
British government had seized the oc-
casion of the first public statement by
President Coolidge on the situation in
Europe to send another formal invita-
tion to the Washington government to
co-operate in a new conference in an
attempt to settle the reparations dif-
ficulty came almost as a complete sur-
prise to the public.
The secret had been well kept. Lord
Curzon’s request is for American par-
ticipation official or unofficial, or, al-
ternatively, participation in an in-
quiry by a special commission appoint-
ed by the reparation commission.
Smut’s Hand Seen.
■Whether the government's move
was prompted by General Smuts is
not known. ' It will be noted that
Smut’s conference was for a confer-
ence of ail the powers, including neu-
trals.
In his reply to Lord Curzon, Secre-
tary Hughes declared that the United
States is willing to take part In an
economic conference in which all the
European allies chiefly concerned in
German reparations participates for
the purpose of ascertaining German’s
capacity to pay.
CHARGES FORBES GRAFTER
Senate Committee Witness Declares
He Took Contractors Cash.
Washington, D. C.—Elias H. Morti-
mer, former agent for the Thanmpson-
Black company, which was awarded
a contract in 1922 for a veterans' hos-
pital at Northhampton, Mass., told a
senate investigating committee that
he had been told that J. W. Thomp-
son, a member of the firm, advanced
to Charles R. Forbes, then director of
the veterans’ bureau, some $32,000 in
loans.
This, the witness said, had been
told hint by James W. Black, the
other firm member. Mortimer de-
clared that he personally had handed
over $5,000 to Forbes in Chicago,
while the negotiations for the contract
were pending- and that afterward he
paid him another $1,000 or $1,500.
Included among a number of
‘‘drinking parties” that were inter-
spersed with the negotiations, Morti-
mer asserted, was one at Hayden
Lake, Wash., at which Charles B.
Hurley, of the Hurley-Mason Con-
struction company, proposed to
Forbes that the Thompson-Black com-
pany, and the Hurley-Mason company
divide the field for veterans’ bureau
contracts, each taking one-third of all
the profits with the remaining third
one seemed "contented” with the pro-
posal, but there was no testimony
that it become effective.
fF HE had been a white man his
I name and fame might have been a
cherished tradition in frontier history.
But lie was only a nameless Indian
warrior, one of Chief Black Hawk s
Sacs, who took part In the battle of
Bad Axe river in Wisconsin in 1832.
This engagement Is one which re-
flects small credit upon the American
arms for it degenerated Into little more
than » massacre, not only of warriors
who were trying to surrender but of
women and children as well.
Not far from where the main con-
test was raging was a little island
separated from the shore by a few
rods of water and covered with stunt-
ed willows. From it u galling fire
was poured into the company of regu-
lars commanded by Captain Reilly and
when the soldiers dashed into the wa-
ter to occupy the island one of them
was shot down. The soldiers Immedi-
ately retreated, leaving him struggling
in the water, but two of his com-
rades seeing his plight plunged in to
rescue him. One of them was shot
through the head and was instantly
killed.
Other soldiers then sprang into the
water to rescue the two fulien men
and still a third was shot down. After
that they gave up the attempt to take
the Island. Soon afterward they
caught sight of a colored object among
the willows and poured several vol-
leys into It.
The next day, after the battle was
over and the survivors of Black Hawk's
band had retreated, a party of soldiers
crossed over to the Island to see how
large a force had been Intrenched
there. They found that it had been
held by a lone Indian who had been
fighting to protect his squaw and his
little son. The bright-colored object
which had drawn their fire was a
blanket hung up for that purpose at a
little distnnee from where the warrior
and his family were lying and it had
been torn into shreds.
The Indian woman had been killed
by a stray shot, but the little boy was
still alive, although suffering from a
broken arm received from tlie bullet
which had killed his mother. He was
tenderly cared for by the soldiers, hut
died soon afterwards. The father, be-
lieving both dead, had escaped. lie
had swum the Mississippi on a small
log and he was tracked by a party of
Winnebago Indian scouts who dis-
covered where he landed on the Iowa
shore.
They followed his trull for some dis-
tance until they came to a little grovs
of trees. Suddenly one of the Winne-
bagoes stopped and silently pointed
toward the top of a tree. A volley of
rifle shots rang out and the “lone de-
fender” tumbled down to the ground-
dead.

“I’ve often offered to take the man-
agement of things, but you know
you’ve taken It ill alwayg, and seemed
to think I wanted to push you out of
your place.”—Silas Marner.
There Is nothing that is able to hold
its place In the world without constant
struggle. One ef the keenest of ell
struggles is that between the estab-
lished generation and the rising gen-
eration, whether of plants or animal*
or men.
Long ago, Abram and Lot, the older
generation and the younger, found
that “the land was not able to bear
them, that they might dwell together,"
and they separated, the young man
going to live in the cities of the plains,
the older one going to live 'n the coun-
try of Canaun. Their example has
been followed by many millions since,
The age-old struggle between father
and son la embittered by the fact that
neither recognizee It as a part of the
natural working out of nature’s laws,
but each regurds his own case as
unique. There is in hardy families an
Interval of from ten to fifty years
between the time the son feels cup-
able of tuklng over the management
of the farm or business or profession
und the time the father feels ready
to step out. During ull this period
it Is to the young man’s Interest to

This is a psalm of IVtvid the king,
and therefore show's the conduct of a
ruler. It Is divided into two sections
—the first, verses 1-4, refers to person-
al conduct, and the second, 5-8, to the
government of others. This part of the
lesson can only refer to the destruc-
tion of the saloon In the sense that all
evil is to be uprooted and destroyed.

New York, N. Y.—The dissolution
of the Cemeqt Manufacturers’ asso-
ciation on the ground that it was a
trust was ordered by Judge Knox in
United States district court.
Judge Knox extended the dissolu-
tion to include the association and all
its corporate and individual members.
He further ordered the so-called
trust to discontinue the practice of
interchanging statistics recording
production and granted all other de-
crees sought in the government suit.

* MONG the Iroquois Indians he was
Chief Onwarenhiiaki, a Mohawk
and son of a chief; but the white man
knew him as the Rev. Eleazer Wil-
liams, a descendant of Eunice Wil-
liams, the famous white captive of
Deerfield, Muss., a missionary to the
Indians and a scout and spy for the
United States army during the War of
1812.
After the war Williams returned to
his missionary labors, but became In-
volved in a scandal connected with the
removal of the Oneida tribe from New
York to Wisconsin, where he had
planned to establish an Indian empire
with himself as Its supreme head.
There was a charge of embezzlement
and Williams was cast off by the mis-
sionary societies that had been sup-
porting him, and in 1832 he was re-
pudiated by the Oneidas whose trust
he had betrayed. With his dream of
ruling a native commonwealth broken,
Williams dropped out of sight for a
few years. Then he reappeared in an
even more amazing role, that of Louis
XVII, the Lost Dauphin of France,
who was supposed to have been killed
In the Tower of the Temple in Paris
during the Reign of Terror.
In 1841 the Prince de Joinville, son
of King Louis Philippe, arrived in New
York and Immediately departed upon
a,secret mission in the West. Accord-
ing to Williams’ story, De Joinville,
convinced of Williams’ right to the title
of king of France, came (o him at his
home In Green Bay, Wls„ and asked
him to renounce his claim, which Wil-
liams-refused to do. There l» authori-
tative evidence that the prince did
make inquiries about this frontier
soldier of fortune while stopping at
Mackinac, Mich., hut for an Interview
between the two men we have only
Williams’ word, and Eieazer’s reputa-
tion for truthfulness was not the higli-
»st.
This “discovery" of the Lost Prince
In the wilds of the Wisconsin frontier
caused n furore In both America and
Europe for awhile. Williams is said
to have visited France to try to estab-
lish Ids claim, hut the Bourbons would
nave none of hint. Finally he re-
turned to this country and died in
poverty and neglect at Hogansburg,
N. Y., August 28, 1853.

II. The Awful Ruin Wrought by
Strong Drink (Prov. 23:29-35).
1. Woes of Those Who Indulge in
light and water within their areu,
they compromise by growing normally
on the side away from each other and
by dying off on the side next to each
other—so that you will never see a
perfectly developed oak unless you

which causes one to cry out, "Oh!"
Many, indeed, are the pains which men
suffer because of strong drink. Bodily
Ills innumerable can be traced to its
evil influence. (2) The bitter remorse,
which causes one to cry out, “Alas!”
Many are the expressions of bitter re-
gret which daily come from the lips
of the drunkard. (3) Contention—
strife and quarreling. Much of the
fighting among men is directly caused
by their passions being inflamed by
strong drink. The drunken man is al-
ways ready to take offense, as well as
to give it (4) Babblings and com-
plainings. The wineblbber complains
of everything—ill luck, los* of friends,
of fate and of God. He sees every-
thing wrong but himself. (5) Wounds
without cause. These are wounds
from fights in which a sober man
would not have engaged, and from ac-
cidents which are purely the result of
Intoxication. (6) Redness of eyes.
This has reference to the blood shot
eye of the tippler which dims Ills
vision. All these woes come upon
those who tarry long at wine.
II. The Attitude Enjoined (v. 31).
Look not at it. Do not put yourself
Into the way of temptation. The only
safe uttitude toward strong drink Is
total abstinence, and the only way to
total abstinence Is not to even look
■t 4L
III. The Drunkard'* Bitter End (w.
32-35).
1. Acute Miseries. “It blteth like a
serpent and stingeth like an adder."
Strong drink, like the poison of a ser-
pent, permeates the whole system and
ends In the most fatal consequences.
2. Perversion of the Moral Sense.
This excitement causes the eyes to be-
hold strange things. This denotes the
fantastic images produced on the brain
of the drunkard. Even when delirium
tremens does not result, there are aw-
ful fancies which are beyond the pos-
sibility of realization. Then does his
heart utter perverse things. Ills moral
sense being perverted, his utterances
partake of the same. He tells lies; Ids
words cannot l)e relied upon.
3. He Is Insensible to Danger (v.
34). He is foolhardy, even as one who
would lie In the top of a ship's mast,
where there Is the greatest danger of
fulling off.
4. He Is Insensible to Pain (v. 35).
The drunkard is utterly ignorant of
what happens to him while under the
Influence of strong drink. Many
bruises and wounds the drunkard tins
which lie cannot account for.
5. His Abject Bondage (v. 35). After
all his sufferings, sorrow and disap-
pointments, tie goes on as a Imnd
slave in the ways of sin.
6. Hell at Last. No drunkard shall in-
herit ttie kingdom of heaven (I Cor.
6:10).
Whole Sum of Human Life.
Of the whole sum of human life no
small part Is that which consists of
a limn s relations to Ids country, and
hts feelings concerning It.—Gladstone.

The struggle ls bitterest where the

power late In life—notably tn the pro-
fessions of medicine and of the law.
“An unpractlced observer," says Dr.
Johnson, “expects the love of par-
ents and children to be constant und
equal; blit this kindness seldom con-
tinues beyond the years of Infancy;
In a short time the children become
rivals to their parents. Benefits are
allayed by reproaches, and gratitude
debased by envy. . . . The opinions
of children and parents, of the young
and the old, are naturally opposite, by
the contrary effects of hope and de-
spondence, of expectation and experi-
ence, without crime or folly on either
side. . . . Thus parents and children,
for the greatest part, live on to love
less and less.”

“. . , th* Lammeters had been
brought up in that way that they
never suffered a pinch of aalt to be
wasted, and yet everybody In their
household had of the best, according
to his place."—Silas Marner.
There are wasteful persons and
thrifty persons in every nation; but
when the percentage of wasteful per-
sons is very high, we speak of the
nation as wasteful, and when the per-
centage of thrifty persons is high, we
speak of the nation as thrifty. Amer-
ica lias the reputation of being one of
the most wasteful nations on earth;
France has the reputation of being
one of the thriftiest.
One drawback to popularizing thrift
In our country Is that so many people
confuse thrift and stinginess.
Part of our extravagance is prob-
ably due to ttie fact that we are still
close to pioneer conditions when game
and fish and timber were so plentiful
that there seemed no possibility of ex-
hausting the supply, und 'consequently
no need for thrift. Part of it ls also
probably due to the fact that many
of our housekeepers grew up on farms
where there were always pigs and
chickens ami cuts and dogs to eut ull
table scraps und kitchen waste.
Broken bread, bits of meat, thick
parings and uneaten food seemed no
waste when thrown into the swill
barrel, to be fed to the pigs. Nowa-
days, however, the farmer knows thut
his pigs and chickens thrive better on
a proper diet than on table scraps;
and what was formerly fed to them
Is now burled nr burned..
When a farmer kills a beef or a
hog or a sheep, there Is usually much
waste. Often he wastes the very por-
tion of the animal that meat-eutlng
savages und ineat-eatlng animals con-
sider the choicest part of tl’e carcass—
the blood and glandular organs. In
the large packing plants, where a few
cents saved on eaen animal slaugh-
tered amounts to hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars In u year, there ls
no part of the curcass allowed to go
to waste. No one speaks of the pack-
ers as stingy—but as efficient. With
them the value of thriftiness shows,
because the quantities hundled are so
large.
When our homes are run as effi-
ciently as the large packing plants,
we shall have more housekeepers such
as the Lannneter sisters—housekeep-
ers who waste absolutely nottilng and
yet provide their families with tbs
best of everything.
