loday Driving and Betting. Some Politics. Wasted Immorality. Soap for Sheiks. By ARTHUR BRISBANE y -/ "Pop” Geers,” past 70, died as he had worked, driving a rare horse. He leaves a million dollars, never drank, smoked, cursed or bet on the races. James Hoey, good actor, brother1 of "Old Ho*s” Hoey, was buried yesterday at Sayville, N. Y. When Hoey first went to Say ville he brought a stable of race horses, bought a fine house, raced his horses, enjoyed himself. When Hoey died in his old age, he held a job as "caddy” at the local golf club. Moral: "It’s safer to drive race horses than to bet on them. Driv ing horses may mnke a millionaire of you, as it did of Geers. Betting on them is apt to make a caddy of you as it did of the late James _ Hoey.” Mark Sullivan, who observes ac curately, says that both demands and republicans are amazed at La Follette’s hold on the west. The democrats, It seems, "bemoan their lack of publicity, but believe that the papers opposing them will be I compelled to print Davis' I speeches.” \ That’s too optimistic. One man I can take a political speech to an editor, but a hundred can't make him print it. The editors will print ^ speeches, however, if the speech makers will say something. Not much has been said by anybody thus far. Senator Wheeler, vice presiden tial candidate with La Follette, at least stirs things up, but respecta bility holds it breath and whispers "bolshevism.” He actually tells workmen in the mills of New Eng land that “they could run the gov ernment if they would stick to gether, imitate the farmers of the west and elect the type of con gressmen they want.” What do you think of that, for out-Trotzky ing Trotzky? Malcom McAdoo, brother of Wil liam Gibbs McAdoo, has left the democratic party and comes out for La Follette. In North Dakota democrats and republicana have combined in a “nonpartisan” ticket to beat La Follette. La Follette probably will beat them, as “Golden Rule” Jones beat a similar combination In Ohio years ago. That kind of “nonpar tisanship” doesn’t please voters. Leopold, one of the young Chi cago murderers, prepares 10 ques tions and will endeavor to send uh answers after he is hanged—if he Is hanged. His 10th question Is, "What is happiness?” According to Biblical teaching he won’t be able to answer that question. “Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” If the young murderer sends any message, would like an an swer to t?»ie question: “Are the hideously imperfect personalities of murderers and such human refuse, preserved forever more oisless in the shape they held here? Or does merciful Providence wipe them out of existence? Is crime a defect of body and brain, or has it nothing to do with the spirit, released in death? It is hard to believe that all the murderers, tyrants, cannibals, etc., are indestructible and preserved forever. That would seem a waste of immortality. Mrs. M. E. Harrison, hack from Turkey, says the Turks are earth’s champion bootleggers, having prac ticed the art since Mohammed or dered prohibition. Also she says that what the much advertised sheiks chiefly need is soap. In thi country what they need is brains. The lady saw a Turkish soldier firing his pistol wildly in the air celebrating “the proclamation of a republic." Privately he said, “What is a republic?” Some near home might ask that. If Kemal Pasha should die now the Turkish republic would go to smash, says Mrs. Harrison. What would happen in Italy if Mussolini died? A country or a business depend ing on one man, however able, is always in danger. Jack Dempsey, American prince, crowded the British prince off the front page the other day with the announcement of his engagement i^^to marry a young lady of the film B^^yorld. It was a pretty story of child hood friendship when the young lady wore “pigtails,” that gave the prince’s place to Jack Dempsey. The denial of the whole thing brings Mr. Dempsey hack to the front page. Thus the news goes. (Copyright, 1124) Adele Garrison | “Mv Husband’* Love” 1---' "Oht Mrs. Graham'." Mollle Fa* cett's voice held s note of genuine distress as she cams breathlessly up to Katherine and me. "1 am ao afraid I haVe done or said something I ought not. Your maid—I thought—I wondered—.” She was covered with a confusion as pretty es It was sincere, and my heart unexpectedly warmed to the child. "My maid V* a very silly woman," I said quickly, "and you must not mind anything she says or doee. I will see that ehe doesn't annoy you, but I think It perhaps would be es well If you avoided speaking to .Urn ee much es possible, and accepting any service from him while you are hers.” Her fane was dvsd scarlet by the time X hed finished, and ehe put out tier hands to me with an uncon •clous little gesture of appeal. “Truly I did not m»»n—” she be ■ an. broke off and started again and that boy Jerry, asked me 11 f mould like te ride the horse, and I va always l>een crazy to try ridlnc Oht Why do I always get Into—why tilings like tins have to happen to me?" "If you xcali) want to kauv? %\Jo things like this happen to you,” T sold laughingly, “suppose you take a good long look Into your mir ror when you go to your room. That's the only answer, and you may be #ire that you have done nothing at all to offend me or even to annoy me hi the ■lightest degree I would not epeaJc to you about the matter at all, only that my maid, who ha* served me faithfully ever alnre my marriage. Is extremely temperamental, and 1 do not wish her upset. But you must not worry about It any more. Indeed, tha matter Isn't worth another thought. I have something more pleasant for your consideration. Wouldn't you like to come down to Mr. Graham's outdoor studio now, and look at his sketches?" Her face brightened Instantly, and her eyes were starry. "Oh! I'd love It!” she said with pret ty enthusiasm. “Then we'll 'do It now,’" I laugh ingly quoted. "Katherine, won’t you come, too? There are some new things Dickie has done which I think you may like to see.” “I am aure of it," Katherine re sponded, and I knew by her tone she had grasped my camouflaged mes sage to her to guard our young guest from any annoyance at Katie's hands until I had seized an opportunity to discipline my fractious little maid. It was but a short walk to the old oorncrlb, which Dicky with Jim's help had transformed Into an out door studio, and once Mollie Fawcett was Inside Its walls, all remem brance of anything outside it appear ed to vanish from her memory. I never have seen any one appear more —fascinated—it is the only word fit ting the ca«*--bofore any exhibit of rare paintings than was my young guest before the heaps of drawings, some finished, some discarded after half the work had been done, some holding but a few lines, which are the mute testimonials of Dickie's er ratic habits of work. Within thirty seconds of our en trance into the studio 1 plainly saw that nothing Katherine nor 1 were needed—or—even wanted. Careless as Dicky Is. he yet has a curiously meticulous habit of labeling each i. 1 - drawing with the name of the etory for which It was made, the name of the etory'a author and the mag azine In which the tale appeared, to gether with the date. The flret thing my guest's eyes lighted on wag a eet of drawlnge which had Illustrated a popular magazine story of the year before. Oh—hr’ she eeroled. “I read that story and saw those drawing*. To think of knowing the artist now!" Sh# took th# big sheets carefully— almost reverently—Into her hand#, and sat down with them before Dickie’s empty drawing board. "Is —this where—he does themT” she asked, and at my assent she fix ed her eyes again upon the drawings and began to study - them as If her Ilf# depended ugon her committing their lines to memory. I went softly toward the door and signaled Katherine to join me. Mollle Fawcett did not turn her head as we opened the door and went out. I do not think she knew we had gone. "I thought perhaps one of us would have to answer questions,’’ 1 said, “but I don't think we're need-, ^d.” “She hasn’t reached th# question ing stage yet," Katherine returned practically. “Walt until she does She'll keep ue both busy. Just now sho’s overwhelmed with the novelty of It all, and more than a bit awed If you ask me I think it would be a most excellent time for you to Inter view Katie If you wish. I’ll stay here, and see that no one disturbs your fair charge.” OSTEOPATHY A Dependable System of Spinal Treatment B. Q.
