ASK ONLY FOR FAIR CHANCE
Crippled Soldiers Arc Eager to Prove
They Have Lost None of Their
Good American Grit.
A Wost Virginia private soldier who
lost n leg In the wnr mid now rocs on
crutches was visiting the national
capital, and while inspecting tho
Washington monument requested a po
liceman to net ns a witness for n
short time. The cripple then proceed
ed to climb to tho top. COO feet nhovo
the ground and reached by 800 steps.
It Is clear that this athlete was not. In
Washington to claim a pension on tho
ground of physical disability. In fact,
bo asks no more than a fair chance to
Hbow that bo Is lit to bold a Job, nnd
Is ready to prove It. In the main mili
tary hospital In Washington tho pa
tients nro publishing a paper called
the "Come Hack," whose main pur
pose Is to promote the Industrial wel
fare of crippled soldiers and sailors.
It gathers Information on useful work
for men who recover from amputa
tions or serious wounds, and wants
to ascertain how much they will bo
nblo to do, not bow little, nnd to en
courage ambitious efforts ns far as
possible. Such endeavors, for ono
thing, ndd to the happiness of those
who often are Merely classed as un
fortunntes. A crippled condition does
not neeossnrliy mean crippled life.

MAY AGAIN BECOME NATION
Possibility That Arab Tribes Will Bo
Reunited as One Result of
the Great War.
Ono of tho most Interesting flgurcB
nt tho opening of the peace conferenco
was Prince Kmlr Kalsul, son of tho
king of tho Iledjaz, the latter known
ns "the grnnd old man of the Knst." IIo
Is very handsome and his plcturesquo
headdress was well suited to his style.
As the prince strode up and down tho
room before tho opening of the session
ho wns n perfect typo of Arab beauty
and dignity. The representation of his
flno race In the peace conference and
their present effort to estnbllsb their
ancient kingdom recall the general
opinion which, I believe, Is held among
orientalists that tho Arabs arc des
tined ultimately to piny a big part In
tho world. I have seen them In the
districts around the Sue, canal and
the Jled sea and have wondered wheth
er they would not again becomo a
great people. Individually, it seemed
to me that they were tlner than any
other orientals. As a wandering race
they hnve lacked the co-operation nnd
cohesion which enable a nation to
make headway. It would bo one of
tho historic romances If out of tho
world war the AraliB emerged as un
organized people prepared to nssuuiu
heavy responsibilities In the near
East. Now York Times.
Grain for Alcohol.
Obviously nation-wide prohibition
will cut sharply Into tho use of tho ce
reals In the manufacture of alcoholic
liquors for beverage purposes. At the
same time It Is regarded as assured
that more alcohol will bo manufac
tured than ever before for use In tho
liberal arts and In manufactures gen
erally, this to be denatured and thus
ubsolutely unlit for drinking purposes.
Plans are under way, however, for
greatly Increased output of alcohol as
above noted, sonm.of this undoubtedly
to be made from grain, while large
quantities It now appears will be pro
duced from cheap molasses brought
from the West Indies. Olllclal chem
ists have been able to secure from this
not only alcohol but also the use of
residue for tho production of glycerin,
Komelhlng of Increasingly large con
sumption. Glycerin is very largely
used In making nitroglycerin, transpar
ent soaps, lubricants, printers' inks,
etc.
Death Brings Joy.
Tho reports from many parts of tho
United States that some women of

A young woinun. well dressed, went
to tho post otllco nt Vancouver, Wash.,

Tho famous bluo nnd purple dyes of

FELT HER EXALTED POSITION
Empress Theodora, Though Not Born
to the Purple, Was Every Inch
Royal Ruler.
The name Theodora lias been borne
by more thnn one lady of distinction
in Home nnd In tho Orient. The most
picturesque of the group was the Em
press Theodora, wife of Justinian,
Byznntlne emperor, who lived fourteen
centuries ago. She was the daughter
of the keeper of wild beasts and was
an actress in pantomime, "living
movies" one might call the perform
ances, for without speaking a word
she could moke her audience bold Its
sides with laughter. Hut as soon as
she became empress It was as if the
blood of all tho Caesars coursed
through her veins, for none was more
arrogant than this high-stepping
daughter of the people. Here Is one of
her orders to a messenger: "If you fall
In tho execution of my commands I
swear by Ulm Hint llveth forever that
your skin shall be Hayed from your
body." And the messenger knew that
she meant every word of it.
One may wonder if some of tho mon
archs who recently have faded from
their thrones would have gone so read
ily If n Theodorn had been present.
There was an Insurrection in Constan
tinople and Justinian nnd tho royal
household were about to escape on
vessels waiting nt tho stnlrs of the
palace gardens, comnninlcntlng with
the sen. Then spoke Theodorn: "If
flight were the only means of safety I
should yet dlsdnln to lly. Death Is
the condition of our birth, but they
who have reigned should never survive
the loss of dignity and dominion. I
Implore heaven that I may never ho
seen, not u day. without my dlndcm
nnd purple." So she restored the
waning courage of Justinian and his
generals, and tho dny was saved.

as lie thought, he sent them to the

agate, chalcedony, topaz and tourinn-

ovals of moonstone, mocha, sardonyx
and moss, nnd cnrnellan agate, and 35

who know Major Johnson will easily
believe, the Information which ho re

And on Sunday night Crlm's safe

"'That prisoner there,' said u brig
