A DULL THURSDAY. LENINE’S TURN, AT LAST. A SHOCK FOR KHADIJAH. UNCLE JOE AND SHAKE SPEARE. '"’"By ARTHUR BRISBANE-' There isn’t much news this quiet Thursday. Four more Trishnu;q .stand before the firing squad and fall dead. That’s one attempt to force men’s opinions. In the Ruhr, German hostages are placed on loco motives of trains operated by French and Belgians to make sure the trains will not be wrecked. That’s another attempt of the same kind. Long ago that idea was used by England’s king. When he traveled a director of the railroad traveled ahead" of him another train. The tracks were well inspected. After all the rumors and false reports of death, it appears that Lenine is at last in danger, with one side paralyzed. You marvel that he has lasted so long, with the load upon him and the bullets of two would-be assassins in his body. If Lenine dies, control of Russia passes to Trotsky, who heads the Russian army and has put his son in the Russian navy. That may mean a new chapter in the history of bolshevism. The wife of Kernel Pasha, whose husband rules Turkey and names the caliph to exercise Mohammed’s power, appears in tight riding breeches. \Vhat would Mohammed’s wife, Khadijah, the rich widow of Mecca, say to that, looking down trom Paradise, where, by the way, she Is the only wife admitted? Kemal, able to outwit all the al lies and outfight some of them, may find that wine at his wedding party and a wife in tight breeches may do to him what England and her fleet can't do. Religion is not to he trifled with. The more superstition in it, the more dangerous it is. Uncle Joe Cannon. 46 years in congress, more than 80 years* on earth, goes home to rest and enjoy life. Every day he visits the Sec ond National bank, which he prac tically owns; every evening he plays “25-cent limit” poker—and wins. ‘■Dull old age,” you might say. An old man might be expected to sit up, study the stars and ask him self, ‘‘where do we go from here?” But old age of itself is dull, with ,a few brilliant exceptions. Uncle Joe Cannon’s retirement is no more monotonous or difficult to under stand than that of Shakespeare, who retired much earlier and visited the public house instead of the Second National bank. Miss Mullarkey, only 22, also tall and pretty, wrote to her mother: "The mystery of the world be yond tempts me.” She turned on the gas, but didn t die. Miss Mullarkey and others will have all eternity, which is a long time, to investigate mysteries of the world beyond. The myster ies of this world should keep any bodybusy. with Europe, income tax, coal problem, bad weather, etc, to lend variety. Firpo, agile giant of the Argen tine republic, comes to show us how hunian beings can be knocked sense less. Crowds pay to see him; the government of “civilized” . New York, most prosperous state in the union, welcomes him, provides a commission to take care of him and regulate the crowds. And, under, government protection, he is permit ied to commit assault and battery, knock a man unconscious while a lowbrow crowd howls its delight.. Do you wonder that crime in creases’ when government sets aside laws against assault and battery in fnvor of gate receipts, with a sub stantial slice t&r the politician? A learned psychoiog.st tells you heroes and cowards are both crea tures of imagination. Who imag ines only success is a hero. Who imagines failure is the coward. Wolfe, climbing up to attack Quebec and die gloriously, or the despondent man, killing h mself be cause he lacked courage to fight a 'tluel, were both moved by the same power of imagination. So says the psychologist. Another kind of wise man says the whole thing depends on various glands in the body, “endocrines.” What you are and do depends on their work, normal, above or below par. New York legislature derides that the .Stock Exchange must be incor porated and brokers must have li censes. The incorporation will bring the exchange under control of the banking department. What good the licenses will do is not clear. In any case, the good kind of -tock exchange men will not be in jured. The other kind may be dis couraged^ Civil 'Service Plan for State Employes Killed Lincoln. March 15.—{Special Tele gram.)—The atate senate this morn ing by a vote of 8 to 22 killed S.

The scoundrels are not worth that we should suffer for It." Another from Mrs. Nebbe said: "If you had only given him enough so that it would be over. If only he does not go and have himself ex amined. Mother and I are so wor ried lest It he discovered. "If once he was only so far gone that he could not leave the house—if something should happen to him out side he would be taken to a hospital and then It might be found out."
