SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON For Jan, 4th, 1925. —The Triumphant Entry.—Luke 19:29-40 BY DR. MARION McH. HULL Golden Text: Blessed is the King that conieth in the name of the Lord. —Luke 19:38. During the next three months we are to study the events of the last week of the life of Jesus on earth. To show how much importance is at tached to this by the Spirit of God we find that about one-third of the t records of Matthew, Mark and Luke each, and about one-half of that of John is given in that period, which will be increased if we add the resur rection period. It is very clear, therefore, that the real purpose of Jesus in coming to earth was not to live, but to die. Let us have this fact in mind as we study the events of this period, and to keep ever in mind the further fact that He came to die for us, each one individually. . On Saturday evening He had been given a supper at the heme of Si ' mon the leper in Bethany. We think he was the husband of Martha. If so, it was very appropriate that Mar tha should serve, that Lazarus should be there, and that Mary 1 should take that occasion to anoint P Him with the spikenard that was her • most precious possession, her en gagement gift. ' It waa on the next day Jno. 12:12) that the so-called tri umphant entry into Jerusalem took plaqe. He sent two of His disciples —we should like to know which two Rthev were—into the village just over nst Bethany and Bethpage, with icit directions as to what they to do; they were to find a colt ' they were to loose him and g him to Jesus, and when any should ask why they were tak the colt—which the owners were to do—they were to reply: “The I of it has need.” The owners Id then' readily give their con sent for it to be taken. The Lord of All It is interesting to note that the order of the Greek words makes the translation above more correct than that ordinarily given. It is. “The Lord of it has need,” rather than, , “The Lord has need of it.” This makes it easier for us to understand why the owners so. readily consented to let it go; they recognized whose It was; while it was in their posses- I pion, it really belonged to the Lord; and it was their pleasure to give it back to Him when He had need. This shows that they were true disciples of His, for all such recognize the Lord's ownership of everything they possess, and are delighted to give back to Him for His use whatever 'they have that is needed by Him in His work. k When these two came into the ■•village they found everything just ■as Jesus had said they would, it was ■not by any prearrangement that this ■ occurred, for He had been out of the ■ country for four months, and had ■ just returned the day before; hut it I was but another evidence of His deity, His prescience. His ability to know all things beforehand. ■ They found everything “even as” He had said. So they brought the colt, the L foal of an ass (as Matthew helps us r to know) to Jesus. Thereupon they I took off their outer garments and L placed the on the colt, whereon never man had sat, and placed Jesus on him, and began the entry into the city. It i- at least worthy of note that this untrained animal was as docile as though he had been ridden all of L his life. Is this not another evidence ■ of the Lordship of Jesus? Even the I animals recognized in Him their f Lord and Creator. As they proceeded along the way, I the disciples took their outer gar ments and placed them on the ground for Him to ride upon, taking them up after He had ridden over them, and placing them down again in front of Him a« He progressed. Others joined them, doing the same; and still others, wfio had no gar ments that they could take off and use, pulled off branches of the trees and strewed them in the way, that they might give Him all the honor that would be given to a king en tering the city after a victorious campaign. This continued all the way into the city, others joining them as they proceeded, until a great multitude had gathered. As they walked along they cried nut: Hosanna! Blessed is He that comcth in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the Son of David. Ho sanna in the highest!” Others said: “Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.” ' These expressions were particular ly significant when we read Psalms 118:26, and Luke 2:14, and Zech. 9:9. ’ They were always looking for their Messiah, and these words had grown FARM EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE How to Cure Fresh Pork in Brine J. J. R., Demorest, Ga., writes: Pleace send me a recipe for cur k ing hog meat in brine. I find dry salt cure hardens the meat and makes It tough. There are quite a number of ways vs preserving pork, and other indi viduals might suggest a different rec’pe for your consideration. We -believe, however, in recommending only those plans of procedure which have been tested out and which, through a series of prolonged trial have demonstrated their efficiency. Under the circumstances, we recom mend that you proceed as follows, .believing that in advising you to use the plan outlined below, that we are recommending as reliable a proc ess of curing pork in brine as can be directed to your attention and consideration ta this time. Bribe cur eor sweet pickle (for 100 pounds of meat): Salt 8 pounds Sugar or molasses 4 pounds Saltpeter 3 ounces Dissolve by stirring thoroughly in hour gallops of water which has h'con Ixiiled and looked. f Place meat in a hardwood keg or or in a stoneware crock, put ting the larger piece® at the bottom and the smaller pieces on top of them. Pour the prepared brine over the meat and weight the meat down so that it will all be covered with the brine. Allow the meat to stand in the brine two weeks, then repack it. to insure the exixusuve of all ;»arls the meat to the brine. Bacon Should be sufficiently cured by this ■ recess in thirty day's, and the thick er cuts in fifteen to twenty days longer. A safe plan to follow in Georg.a is to allow four days in cure for e«c hpound of weight of he piece. The brine must be exam ined every few days, and, it found to ee ropy or stringy, the ‘meat must be removed and washed, the contain er washed out with hot water, the ! brine should be re-boiled and cooled, »r much belter, new brine made. *nd the meat repacked in the :leansed container and covered with the brine. Upon removing meat from the arine at the completion of the cure, it should be hung up and allowed Io drain and dry so 124 hours before smoking. If the drv meat is found 10 hate a coafing of salt on it. this Lhould be washed off in lukswarm k' «t*r. and the meat dried again be ■rt the smoking is begun. TTTF ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL into their inner consciousness as they increased in wisdom and statue; now that they see One who has dong so many wonderful things they rejoice and praise God for the mighty works that they had seen. We shall refer to this praise again, but for the moment we pass it by with out further, comment. A Division: A Weeping There was always a division be cause of Him, and this was no ex ! ception. While the multitudes were I giving Him all the praise due to a I victorious King, the Pharisees came Ito Him with complaint. The rnulti ( tude had called Him the King, the j Son of David. The Pharisees speak : of Him only p.s Teacher, and de i mand that He rebuke His disciples I for the praise they have been giv- I ing Him. His reply was most sig nificant —“I tell you that if these should hold their peace the very stones would cry out immediately.” Until now He had- never allowed any one to give Him recognition as the King; but i)ow He accepts it, and says that if it was not given Him by them the stones would im mediately do so. He was definitely offering Himself again to the Jew ish nation as their long-expected Messiah. And the tragedy of it is that their leaders just as definitely rejected Him! Knowing this, is the explanation of the very striking words that came from His lips as He came over the brow of the hill, and caught sight of the city as it lay before Him across the valley of the Kidron: He “wept over it, say ing, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace . . . thou knewest not the day of thy visitation.” What did He mean by these strange words? Why wa s He weep ing so? Tha z reason is to be found in a study of the ninth chapter of Daniel in connection with the pas sage in Zechariah already referred to. It was toward the close of the seventy years’ captivity that Daniel from a study of “the books” —nota- bly Jeremiah—realized that the pe riod of the captivity was nearly over, and was wondering whether it would be at this time or not that God would fulfill to the Jews all the promises that He had made to Abraham, Issac, Jacob, ai>d David; and so he set himself to pray that God would reveal to him the truth. The answer came to him, that it would not be at the' end of thesp seventy years, but after I sevens, or 490 years. He was then told that even this preiod would be browen up, and that “from the go ing forth of the commandment to restore Jerusalem unto Messiah the prince would be 483 years; the Mes siah should be cut off and have nothing.” Now these years were prophetic years; they knew nothing about the Julian calendar under which we live; their years were years of twelve months of thirty days each. 48x12x 30 would be 173,880 days. The com mandment to restore and rebuild Je rusalem was given, according to Sir Robert Anderson, on the 14th of March, B. C. 445; and this day on which He was formally offering Him self to the Jews as their king, as foretold by Zechariah, upon a colt the foal of an ass, was the 6th of April, A. D. 32. And this was ex actly 173,880 days. In other words, Jesus was saying to these people in effect: If you had been studying your own prophets In stead of trying to find fault with me, you would have known that on THIS THY DAY, THE DAY Ob’' THY VISITATION, this 6th of April, would have been the end of the sixty-\ nine weeks of Dapiel, and that on this day your King would come to you, meek a,nd lowly, riding upon an ass, as foretold by Zechariah. Had they known this, surely they would not have rejected Him as they did! These are very seripus days in which we are living; there are proph ecies being fulfilled which are just as striking as these to which we have been referring. Are you as blind as these Jews were in the days of His flesh? Or are you able to dis cern the signs of the times, and are looking for Him to return at any mo ment? Do not think of setting any definite day; that is something that is known to God alone, artd with which we have nothing to do. But He does expect us to study tne Word, and to keep our eyes open to all the things that He is doing in the world—and to be ready for. Him whether He shall come at mid- ; night, or in the evening, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning. Are YOU ready? i A Good Ration for Dairy Cow C. M. S., Albany, Ga., writes: I have the following ingredients that I wish to make a balanced ration out of for dairy cows: Peanut vine meal, peanut meal, cotton seed meal, velvet bean and pods meal, and corn in the shuck meal. Please let me know how much of each to put in a ton, and also how many pounds to feed a cow. Dairy cows, like all ruminating animals, rejuire a considerable roughage in their daily ration. You may use shredded corn, sorghum stalks, or well-cured hay made from any of the leguminous crops for this purpose. It is best to feed pea nut vines whole rather than ground up in theforrn of meal. Ruminating animals ordinarily require two-thirds of the ration in the form of rough age and one-third in the form of , concentrates. You can make a very i excellent formula for the purpose ( you have in mind by mixing to i gether equal parts of the five in- I gredients mentioned in your letter. Ordinarily, grain should be fed to d airy cows at the rate of one to | one and one half pounds per each 100 pounds of live weight. The rate of feeding will cary, of course, with the lactation period and the age and size of the animals to be fed. If you use the formula described ' in your letter, it will probably be necessary to feedxthis material at the rate of one and one-half to two pounds per each 10 Opounds of live I weight. Remember, that in addition ! to theformula indicated, you must provide plenty of roughage. If you have some winter grazing areas - available, they can also be utilized ! to advantage; for cows, like folks, I need plenty of greens in order to keep their digestive system in good condition and to supply them with the necessary vatamines. The pal j atability of dry roughage may be increased by moistening it with wa ter containing a little salt. A little j dry hay placed in racks protected from the weather will also be eaten with relish. A varied ration will prove the most palatable and profit able as well. One who expects to continue in the dairy business should build a silo.

Meyers, of Florida, the latter a promi nent court figure in Austria before the "World war. Veteran of Many an Intrigue; (Louise of Whittlesbacli) Now Is Married to Florida < Grower MELBOURNE, Fla., Dec. 27.—“1 have found peace.” In these words the one-time Prin cess Louise, of Wittelsbach, writes her epitaph on a life that made her the most talked of woman in Vienna court circles.- Here, in the mellow warmth of a Florida farm, she takes on in her declining years the role of wife, of W. 11. Myers, a plain and prosperous American citizen. Fortuitous circumstance rescued her from the poverty that has visit ed much of Europe’s royalty. She had been, forced to work as a ser vant, her daughter had taken the nun’s veil and her son was a suicide. Life was brewing a wormwood cup for her ■wrinkled lips. And then came a lonely* and kindly Florida, man who read of the plight of the once colorful court lady and penned a wistful love note to her — the sort of letter one might expect from a somewhat bald “fairy prince” upon whose life romance has brush ed her hand ever so lightly. , “Why should you be so poor over there, when I have so much and am all alone? Won’t you come to Amer ica and marry me?” That was a portion of it, direct and without equivocation. Accustomed to Shocks Princess Marie Louise, or the Countess Larisch, if you prefer, is accustomed to having the unexpected happen. Court intrigue is never written in terms of the commonplace, and there was a time when polite in trigue was her heart’s delight. To Marie Louise it is all in a life time. She arrived recently, they were married in Connecticut and now are settled down in Florida. “And I am so happy to find peace and quiet,” she sighs. “When one has lived through what I have it is wonderful to find peace. I am getting old. The exciting things of youth are no longer of in terest —except as memories.” So, in the warm Florida after noons, memory will fly back to the gay court days and probably she will spin such tales to her fond and proud husband as will make time and place seem to cease. And if she does she may tell of how the Prin'cess Marie Louise be came favorite of her aunt,'Empress Elizabeth, of Austria. In this role she stood second to the throne in social life. Her marriage to Count Larisch .aristocratic member of the Hapsburg dynasty, was arranged by the empress and was staged with all the splendor of court ceremony—in striking contrast to the marriage in a Connecticut justice’s courtroom. Romance at Fifteen And she may tell of how her love life began at 15 when an old roue begged her to elope, and of the melo dramatic events that came in the wake of the scandal at Meyerling, involving the dashing Crown Prince Rudolph, son of Francis Joseph, and the Countess Vetsera. Count Ru dolph had been married to .he Prin cess Stephanie but chose to find his love in the Countess Vetsera. One day. in the story was given out, the bodies of Rudolph and Vetsera were found side by side—suicides. At the time it was reported that Marie Louise had had a hand in the intrigues surrounding the young royal lovers and was banished from the court. This she now denies, as she denies that the pair committed suicide. She hints a plot and says the Countess Mary Vetsera is alive today, but her face is terribly mutialted; that she is in hiding in a German retreat. Os such thrilling tales Marie Louise has aplenty. But they all are of her youth. Now she would be a nice old lady ending her days mellowly in the sun. “I have found a wonderful peace,” i she says. “There Is No Better—” “Tri Weekly Journal? “I received the Three-in-One Shopping Bag and am so well pleased with it.

SHEPHERD DENIES ANYTHING UNUSUAL IN BOY'S ILLNESS (Continued from Page 1) j. ding could give her. Miss Pope, however, determined to take mat ters into her own hands and pro cured a license, with which she walt zed, at Billy’s bedside, in what proved to be a vain hope that he would je cover consciousness long enough to marry her. Denies Any Animosity There was, and is, no animosity between Mrs. Shepherd and himself and Miss Pope, Shepherd declared. They knew of the great love Billy I held for hes- and did nothing to stop the attentions Billy was paying Miss Pope. She never was ordered from the Shepherd home, but was once requested by attending physicians to cut her visits short in order that the boy could have quieter surround ings and because the cook had pro tested against cooking extra meals for her. Shepherd was vehement in his de nial that he had ever studied chem istry or bacteriology or that he ever l>ad been a registered pharmacist. He said he had made frequent vis its to a Chicago laboratory because Mrs. McClintock’s physician, Dr. Oscar- Olson, brother of Chief Jus tice Harry Olson, had offices here, (it was partly upon Judge Olson's (suggestion that the present investi | gation was begun. “I never handled germs in any form nor saw a germ test,” Shepherd j asserted, “i was in the drug busi ness with a brother-in-law in Salina, Kas. My brother-in-law was a reg iistered pharmacist, and when he (died I hired another.” Shepherd said he and his wife I had a private income sufficient to support them without receiving any thing from the McClintock estate, (lie said, however, that they would ’ have to give up their Kenilworth ; home if this were to be the case, as their income did not approach j SI,OOO a month. ( Shepherd, on hks arrival here to ap pear before the state’s attorney in an, I investigation of McClintock’s death, announced hft would make an in vestigation of his own before he was [ through. “I shall obtain full exoneration,” ( he said. “Then we are going to blow up some people here. ; “It would seem necessary as a I means of re-establishing my reputa ; tion,” he added in explaining his pur pose of turning the tables on his ac» ( cusers. Mr. Shepherd declined to say at j this time what persons he suspected as behind rumors reflecting upon him which led finally to the present ( investigation. | “It is my present intention to file | libel suits,” he said in response to an inquiry, “but the program is in ( the hands of Mr. Stoll and Edward Hendrick his legal advisers.)” Mr. Stoll said he had nothing to say about libel suits at this time, j “\Ve are still on the defensive,’’ he said. Says Judge's Attitude Puzzling “I am at a loss to account for the attitude of Judge Olson toward me (Chief Justice Harry Olson of the municipal court who has aided in the investigation)” said Mr. Shep herd. “I did not know I had any enemies—except one man.” Mr. Shepherd said he had sup posed Justice Olson friendly. He said the jurist’s brother. Dr. Oscar Olson, deceased, had been his friend, and “told me of his love for Billy’s mother, though he never told her.” The servant problem in a suburb was responsible tor the discourage ment of visitors at the McClintock residence during “Billy's” illness, ac cording to Mr. Shepherd. It was stated at the state’s attorney's of fice following examination of Miss Isabelle Pope that the latter. Me : Clintock’s fiancee, had said members of her family had been requested to ( visit the home less frequently. i Mr. Shepherd said the request dis couraging visits at the McClintock home had been made because “the cook threat??.ed to leave. The sec ond maid said if the cook left she would go.” The cook, he said, was Eva Nel son, who today was mentioned in an other connection at the state attor ney’s office, as one of the witnesses of McClintocks will. Miss Mary Gertner, house maid, said ex amination that when she waF in service at the McClintock home she and Eva Nelsen had been requested by “Billy” to witness the will. Says Doctor Barred Visitors “It is hard enough to get new servants in Kenilworth at best," said Mr. Shepherd, “and would have been impossible with illness in the fam ily. Mrs. Shepherd could not have managed the house alone, and Billy would have had to go to a hospital. I laid the situation before the doctor and he made the request discourag ing visitors.” “I don't believe there is anything in that,” said Mr. Shepherd, apropos of a mentioned legend that the Mc- Clintock fortune was “cursed.” “The fortune came to this country as the resuit of the marriage of an E' glisb nobleman’s daughter tn a I country squire.” he added. "From ! that time it has been handed on 1 THE HUNDREDTH WOMAN BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR (Copyright, 1924. by Public Led«w Company) Lyra Graham is to be married to Peter Griswold in three weeks. Thomas Hunter, a friend of Mr. Graham’s, is invited to come on from the west for the wedding, and in spote of Lyra’s scornful treatment of him falls desper ately in love with her. Lyra de spises him for his lack of polish and misses no opportunity to let him know her feelings, but when she discovers that he cares she leads him on for t)ie fun of it. CHAPTER XXII Tex Takes a Chance IYRA had been forced to give Tex a dance, whether she would or not. She had succeeded in«evad ing him until after supper, but at last he had made his way toward her, and she had given him a waltz.) To do this she had cut one of her dances with Peter, but she had ex- ( plained this to him vary sweetly, and Peter with the memory of his en counter with her earlier in the eve ning, had given up the dance with good grace. K Lyra did not want to dance with Tex. He was too big, too awkward, he made her feel ridiculous, she could not stand the thought that people were looking at her amusedly, . but she comforted herself with the knowledge that men would be sure to cut in on them. Tex did not understand this busi- ( ness of cutting in, and, when a man walked up and deliberately took Lyra out of his arms, his blue eyes flash ed. But standing on the sidelines, it did not take him long to under stand the system, and when she ( danced near him he deliberately cut ■ in himself. Lyra laughed. He was so grim, so determined. He took everything so j seriously. But when Peter tried to ( cat in on them, and Tex refused to i give her up. holding her against him, and dancihg her away before Peter was aware of what was happening, Lyra felt a vague premonition of danger. However, this was gone in a moment, gone because Lyra re fused to admit that she was afraid of anything. As if she couldn’t manage any man, as if she were afraid of any one or anything! And to prove this to herself she went out into the grounds with Tex after the dance and strolled around for a ! while. But the stones of the gravel path i cut into her silver slippers, and aAer * through marriage for several genera- i tions. “We did not care a thing about Billy’s money; we loved him. “Billy sent me a memorandum while he was at Dartmouth of what ’he wanted embodied in his will. He ) had told me he meant to make a will as soon as he was of age, and that he wanted me to pi-epare it. I submitted to him a draft. It was his idea to make Miss Pope an an nuity conditional upon her remain ing single; I proposed that he give her outright a definite part of his property. He said he did not -want another man, her husband, to spend his money—a perfectly natural feel ing. Says Miss Pope Will Get Annuity “I advised otherwise, but after ■ the course she has taken I doubt if ' i would give more than he intended. If the will is unbroken she will get every penny of her annuity.” Asked about reports that the rel atives might give her a share in the estate if they were successful in i overthrowing the will, he smiled: i “Let her try to get it from them.” , Referring to quoted statements of Miss Pope that she never has had , any suspicion of Mr. Shepherd, he ( said: “Why should she?” Shepherd arrived in Chicago to-| day from Albuquerque, N. M., to take part in the investigation. “I have come voluntarly from Al buquerque,” said Mr. Shepherd, “to answer such questions as may be asked me and also to ask some ques tions myself. I will seek a public ex oneration as widespread as the pub licity given the accusations ainst me.” “I want to get at the bottom of this affair, and I want the legalized authorities to do so,” Mr. Shepherd added. “There is nothing to con ceal.” Typhoid Germs Revealed The autopsy over the exhumed body of McClintock has disclosed the presence of typhoid germs, but has I not determined the cause of death, , i according to Coroner Oscar Wolff. I ( En route to Chicago last night, I Shepherd, at Kansas City, declared | i he had “never seen a typhoid germ ] in my life.” He said he had gone to the lab ( oratory for treatments after an op ' eration. The entire investigation, ne ( said, has resulted from efforts of dis tant relatives of McClintock in Kan sas to have the will discredited be cause they had not been included. Breidigan’s statement was made public by George E. Gorman, assist- I ant state’s attorney, at the same i j time that the prosecutor's office an nounced it was investigating all pos- ( sibilities of the < jse, not excluding ( that of typhoid inoculation and im proper feeding of the patient to hasten or aggravate his illness. Examination of Dr. Rupert Stolp, who signed the death certificate jiv ing typhoid as the cause of McClin ! tock's death, had failed to elicit any ( j confirmation of these possibilities, Joseph Savage, assistant state’s at j torney, said. Dr. Stolp disclosed, ( however, the prosecutor said, that when he was first called in Novem- I ber 23, McClintock seemed to be suf- ( sering from an affection of the nose ; ' and throat, and while he seemed very i ill, showed no symptoms of typhoid fever until a few days later. Coroner's chemists said it would i take two or thr-e more days to com plete the analyses of the necropsy i and determine the exact cause of j death. Nurse Questioned Miss Maybel McClenahan, one of th* nurses who attended McClintock, was questioned by the state’s attor ney today. She said that while the | young man was ill, visitors general- j ly were denied entrance to the sick i ! room but that Mrs. Shepherd, his ! foster mother and co-guardian, had ‘ said that “there will have to be an exception as to visitors in the case ( of Isabel!,” meaning that his fiance, ( i Isabel! Pope, should be admitted. ( Miss Pope was there when she as | sumed her duties, Miss McClenahan ■ said. She said she spoke to McClin- ( ' tock of the necessity of excluding visitors. i “Not Miss Pope” she said he told • her. She said she told him she would ( l ask the doctor, and later that Miss I j Pope's visits were limited to a half ; l hour each. ! The nurse said a "beautiful love” seemed to exist for young McClin ( tock in the Shepherd home. “I have been in many homes but ■ have never seen greater sorrow than when the young man died,” she add- j , ed. Called Mrs. Shepherd Mother Miss McClenahan said that wh»n | McClintock was delirious Mrs. Shep j TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 192-1. a time she 1 suggested that they get into Peter’s car. Looking at Tex from under her lashes, she thought idly how big he was, how much big ger than Peter. He would never con-promise with any woman, he would have his own way, no matter what happened. He turned suddenly and met her eyes. “Will you take a drive with me?” he asked evenly. Again that little feeling of fear flashed up in Lyra and again she resolutely crushed it back. “I didn’t know you drove a car,” she said sweetly. “Do you think you could drive this one? It’s a foreign make.” She had no intention of going for a drive with Tex, but before she, knew what he intended to do, he had pressed the starter and the engine had thrilled into action. Lyra’s heart quickened with alarm, , and impylsively she leaned forward. But she could not make her voice heard above the roar of the engine, and in a moment Tex had backed out of the parking space and was whirl ing down the long drive. It was a copl September evening, and Lyra pulled her evening wrap up around her throat. The wind whist ling in her ears blew strands of her silvery hair loose, and as with one hand she tucked them in, she leaned forward and touched his arm with the other. But he seemed not to be conscious of her touch. His gaze was bent steadily of the road stretching out before them. His mouth was set, his chin squared, and slowly, slowly the speedometer was mounting until they were flying along at fifty miles I an hour. Lyra’s fingers on his arm tight ened. She was angry now, angry i and a little afraid. There was some thing so indomitable about him. Out ( here he did not seem like the same man. Surrounded by the hundreds j and one accessories of her luxurious environment, she had it in her pow er to do as she liked with him. But out here under the stars everything was different. “We must turn back, she said sharply, and as she spoke he slack ened his speed a little and turned toward her. In his eyes as they met hers, there was no embarrassment now. Strangely blue, they beat down i the fury in hers until she found j it impossible to retain her dignity , under the fire of them. (To Be Continued.) 1 herd’s voice seemed to calm him. He (had expressed his love for Mrs. Shep herd, calling her “mother” in | her i presence, the nurse said. She added ithat she never had heard any talk (of an immediate marriage. I Mr. Shepherd telephoned to the state’s attorney that he would ap pear at his office at 2 p. m. Mr. Shepherd prepared to take vig orous action in his own behalf prior to going to the state’s attorney’s of fice and after a conference with his partner indicated he expected to seek legal redress against persons be believed responsible for statements made against him. “After this investigation is all over, we are going to blow up some people here,” he asserted. Asked if he intended to start libel suits against the persons he referred to, he said: “That is my intention at present. The program, however, is in the hands of Mr. Stoll and Edward Hedrick. Mr. Hedrick volunteered to assist Mr. Stoll because he is my friend and neighbor.” Two Alabama Boys Accidentally Killed While Out Hunting MOBILE, Ala., Dec. 27.—Two deaths were recorded Saturday in Alabama as results of hunting trips.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE TALKS ON HEART AND HOME DSAR MISS DIX—I have heard of many women who married men to reform them, but I do not know that I have ever heard of a man marrying a woman to reform her. If a woman deserves and rte ceives credit for marrying a man /• 1 E/J ««•:* ...- ;H—K '.: x>.«iaaa for such a mo tive, should not a man who mar ries a woman for a similar mo tive receive just as much credit? Would a man of good repute be justified in marrying a woman of the underworld If he were convinced that he could in- 123456123456123456 fluence her to be -123456123456123456 come a good woman and a good wife, and if he. cared enough for her to take the chance of reforming her? How would his friends look upon him for doing this? If they censure him, why should they blame him more than a woman who married a rounder? What chance of success would such a union have? INTERESTED. Answer; The woman who marries a man to reform him, or the man who mar ries a woman to reform her take a foolhardy risk and nearly always wreck their own lives without ben efiting the erring one, for there is something fundamentally wrong and weak with any one who needs to be reformed, and the man or woman who will not go straight because their own sense of honor, and hon esty, and high principle demands it ,of themselves, is not likely to do so for the sake of any mere husband or wife. There is no moral surgery by which we can implant backbones in the spineless, and while there is so much good matrimonial timber going to waste, it seems foolish to select a rotten plank upon which to build your house of happiness. So that’s that. I don’t think that, many people give a. woman credit for marrying a drunkard, or a gam bler, or a roue, to reform him. Thev think she is a fool. And they think that a man who marries a fallen woman or a drunken woman to je form her is an even greater fool, because the woman who strays off the straight and narrow path goes deeper into the pit than a man does, and Is far harder to rescue. Also she finds it far more difficult to come back than a man does, because the world judges her more severely and punishes her more cruelly than it does an erring man. As to whether a man is justified in marrying a woman of.the under world, that depends on two things': First, on the character of the wo man, and, second, how ardently she longs for the clean things of life, how sincere is her repentance. There are plenty of women who, in the folly of their jouth, through ignorance, through misplaced love or under the stress of some great temptation, have taken the wrong M 3 H i Have a better ga>den this year.

They loathes their calling,, and if given a helping hand would be only too glad to climb back int respectability. But there are othe women, sensual by nature, whos every fiber is immoral. They ar not amenable, to any good influence and no man in the world can refornt them. Furthermore, before a man mar ries a woman to reform her hi should be very certain that his lov for her is great enough to endur the ostracism of his friends, becaus; it will take years and years of clean living for her to wipe out her past. Os course,(iq strict justice, the wom an who has lived an immoral lift is no worse than the man who ha; lived loosely; but, unfortunately, th' world does ,not judge the malik* It still draws its skirts away fror the woman and invites her partne in sin to dinner. And since this i true, it makes marrying a woma to reform her a very thing for a man to do. DOROTHY DIX.. (Copyright, 1924.) Christmas Celebrant 1 Darkens Whole Town After Battling Dozen i LOWVILLE, N. Y., Dec. 27—800 - I leg whisky is supposed to have been the indirect cause of four hours of darkness in this village last night. And the darkness was the culmina ' tion of several hours of excitement. Paul Arlette, an Indiaii youth, who ! is alleged to have been in a fren -1 zied condit’on because of excessive ' holiday potations, entered an ice I cream store in the neighboring vil ; lage of Naumberg and threatened to ; kill all the customers with a knife. ; He was bound with ropes only after twelve men had joined in the fray., While on the way to the county jail here In custody of the sheriff and deputy, Arlette got his feet free and kicked the sheriff through the wind shield of the automobile. The car went into a ditch, br .-.king an elec tric light pole and severing the elec tric light wires running from Eagle Falls to Lowville, i After another j fight, Arlette was overpowered and brought to the county jail.
