Everything la com

▲rtfear Brlabaa* l eon thought of SUl-
dde because he had done nothing at
an age that found Alexander ruler of
the world.
The death of Huey Long, regretted
throughout a nation that loathes cow
ardly assassination. Is Important not
alone because of Senator Long’s pow
erful personality, but also because
of Its possible effect on the national
election of 1936.
Senator Long Is gone; his power
ceases, as though he had never lived.
Others will pick up the reins of pow

another will take his place In the
senate. Efforts, futile, *wlll be made to
And “another Huey Long.”

phasising Goethe’s definition of “per
sonality,” ‘'as the highest good fortune
of earth’s children.”
France discourages crime, and really

ship. La Martlniere, Is on her way
to the criminal colony In French
Guiana- with 773 convicts locked In
eight strong Iron cages in the hold,
with Iron bars, cement floors, wooden
benches, hammocks, and overhead a
criss-cross of pipes that would fill the
cages with deadly live steam If mu
tiny broke out.
No parole board sits in French
Guiana. Each man ordered to tbe
ship receives a new suit of clothes, a
blanket, an extra pair of wooden shoes
That, with perhaps a few books and
packages of chocolate from relatives
constitutes -his wealth as wrists
chained, the convicts march, single fils
up the gangplank, between rows of
bayonets
They go to prison, to stay In prison.
It Is a hard system, but being mur

' Famous Headline Hunter.
A ND greeting and salutations, Miss Evelyn Perry, for the story
of your night of terror.
Gosh! If folks don’t stop telling me spooky stories about grave
yards I’ll be afraid of even being buried in one.
Let’s tell this one as fast as we can before my hands s.tart shaking.
Question: “And now, Miss Perry, where were you on the night of February
21, 1928?” . V.
Answer; "I was In a graveyard.”
Question: “A graveyard! What were you doing In a graveyard at nlghtr
Answer: “The graveyard was near my home and by cutting through It I
could save a mile on my walk from town. I had been attending a dance In
town and had stayed later than I had permission to stay so I left the dance
alone and In my hurry to get home entered the graveyard.”
Question: “Did you continue through the graveyard?”
Answer: “No.” '
Question: “What did you see there that caused you to change your

Walt a minute! I object. We haven’t any proof that Miss Perry saw a
ghost, so let’s Just review the evidence for the Adventurers’ club Jury and let
them judge. * 1 >

The evidence I have here before me shows that Miss Perry entered the
graveyard in a carefree manner. She was thinking of the good time she had

From all Indications quilt makers
will be busy this winter making more
quilts. Quilts are still very attrac
tlve for needle workers, and any sug
gestion on this work will be wel
comed.
Patchwork Quilt making Is much
easier today than during - Colonial
days. Patches are more easily ob
tained. Diagrams and cutouts for
patches and books of Instruction are
printed. All of these make the
work easier and more quilts are be
ing made.
Grandmother Clark’s Book No. 20
on Patchwork Quilts contains 30
quilts with cutting diagram for
patches, also several ways to assem

Within a few days two women, one

dangerous for older persons. They
should observe the greatest care; a

followed by drowning.
Rubber factories should make and

arrangement to prevent slipping.

romantic mind.
This state of mind Is important. It leaves out the supposition that the
young lady might have been “seeing things” because of an active Imagination
The night was a typical February one. A light enow lay on tho
ground and dark wintry clouds made the way difficult to aee.
But Miaa Perry was not bothered by that She had taken this
short cut through the grave-stones many times before and waa com
pletely familiar with it.
She had, on this night, according to her own testimony, traversed twa
thirds of the graveyard and was approaching the farther gate when she saw
something that caused her to staud transfixed with horror I
A Real Ghost Clanks Real Chains.
A white figure moved slowly toward her along tbe path to the gate I
The figure, Miaa Perry saya, was approaching her and aa the stared
terror-stricken, unable to scream because of a tremulous lump in her
throat, she heard distinctly the slight metallic rustling of chains!
Mias Perry was now beside herself with horror. She saw that she could
not reach tbe gate without passing close to tbe specter In her path.
She decided, therefore, to Feturn the way she had come—even If It was a
mile farther. But she was afraid to turn suddenly and run so sbe kept facing
tbe Thing and backed slowly away.
At this point, boys and girls of the Jury, you’d better take a deep breath.
You may think thia la written flippantly but when you hear what
happened next you’ll understand how terribly serious It really waa
Aa Miaa Perry walked blindly backward ahe tripped and fall right
into an open grave!
1 told you to take a deep breath! Well, now, take another one, and make
It a good one, because tbe worst la yet to come. 9
You may even doubt that a young person could go through such an ex
perience aud keep her reason, but one did. and It’s true. AH right, have you
got your breath? Then listen.
Mist Parry waa not alone in that open gravel
As she fell, a cold hand closed on her wrist!
Zowie! The dead in that graveyard are still talking about tbe scream the
young lady let out and, If they could have seen her, they would have been even
more amazed.
Sbe wrenched loose from that hand and Jumped like a frightened ghost
right out of the grave!
Unbelievable Story Has Plausible Ending.
Through the stones and out the gate toward home she went at break-neck
speed and that long extra mile seemed only a few short steps—so fast did she
travel! Her clothes were torn and muddy but ahe crept Into bed aud hid her
bead under the covers. *
Not until the next afternoon did the shaken girl dare tell her
weird story. And what do you suppoes har fathar did? Why, the un
feeling man Just roarad with laughterl
You sat, Evelyn Parry’s fathar had haard anothar story that day
which dovetailed perfectly with hie daughter's.
Now that my heart la a little quiet I’M tell you the facta. Here they are,
In order: i_
First: Tbe town drunkard’s white goat ran away after breaking his chain.
(It waa this goat—not a ghost—that Evelyn saw.)
Second: Said drunkard, while following his goat Into the graveyard, fell
Into an open grave and was too stiff to climb out He was found there tbe next
morning.
Third: Evelyn fell lato the same grave and aforesaid T. D.—like a drown
ing man grasping a straw—grabbed her wrist 1
Well, these are the facts In the cast, so you see It’s all true after all.
Evelyn doesn’t say whether her hair turned white or not, bat I know a certain
portly Adventurer who would have gone greeu and stayed-jrlght In that grave!

Remarkable Swiss Clock
an Ancient Attraction
The Clock Tower, a well known
landihark In the Swiss capital, stands
in what la the center of the city and
tea back to the Fifteenth century,
e clockwork was constructed In the
Sixteenth century and proves s never-
fslllng attraction for visitors and na
tives alike. From early morning until
late at night whenever tbe time ap
proaches for the hour to strike, groups
of people station themselves before
this ancient tower, eagerly anticipating
the moment when th# Intricate mech
anism of the clock Is set Into play.
This masterpiece ^of medieval dock-
making functions In the following man
ner:
As often as the hour strikes, s troop
et Httle hears goes round In a circle
and s cock crows three times before
and once after the chiming. A sitting
holding a "Staff la one hand and
an hour-glass In the other counts the
strikes by opening his mouth and
smiting with his stick at every stroke
of the clock. Another wooden manni
kin rings two little bells when the hour
Is about to strike. In the belfry at
the top of the tower are the bella and
beside them stands s figure of the
duke of Zahringen (the founder of tbe
city) In armor, who announces the
hours oo the bella with a hammer.

The delicate weed anemone la one
of America's rarest and prettiest wild
flowers. The quilt block of this name

simplest flowers and reproduced th^p
moat successfully In their most fhmoua
quilts.
