The return of wallpaper and the development in taste in interior dec- oration has sent many a chromo to the attic or cellar. Moreover, it has got rid of pictures, some of which were ung to cover a spot in the wall or a hole in the plaster. ‘The new style of decoration is all right and many a home is the better off for the wallpaper which has taken the place of plaster and paint. But we miss the pictures that were there, that might still hang around and add to the society within the walls. When the pictures were only daubs in imitation of oil paintings or were the walls are better off without these doo-dads. The paperhanger who de- erals and base ball heroes did a good job and cleaned up the home.

Here is something that ought to in- terest young men, also parents who hope for a future for their sons. It is a re- port by the United States commissioner of education. According to this report, a common school education increases a man’s productive ability 50 per cent, & high school training increases it 100 per cent, and a college training increases it from 200 to 300 per cent. Another item of similar interest is a statement by a national leader telling us that, though less than 2 per cent of men in America go to college, vet:from this 2 per cent the Nation draws 7,700 of the 10,000 chief leaders in all walks of life. In other words, when it comes to acquiring positions of leadership, the chances are about 99 to 1 in favor of the college= trained man. Wellington said that Waterloo was won years before, at Oxford, Cambridge and Eton. “The secret of any victory is in getting a good ready,” said an old Troy general. “Stand fast, and prepare thee,” cried Jeremiah to the men of his nation when he saw that the land was about to be invaded by an alien enemy. All things else being equal, whether on the battlefields of war or on the battlefield of ordinary life, victory goes to the best trained and best prepared. All about us we see young men falling short for lack of preparation. Plenty of opportunities are ready at hand, but they are not ready. There are plenty of big jobs looking for the man who knows ~how. Everywhere splendid chances cry to the young man, “Pre- pare thee!” NANCY PAGE Chicken a la King Is Fit for King or Queen.

Everyday Law Cases Can Payment Be Stopped on & Certified Check? BY THE COUNSELLORE. John Swift entered into a contract to sell his business for the sum of $2,000, receiving a check from the purchaser for the sum of $400. Swift immediately had the check certified. The purchaser, finding certain minor misrepresentations concerning the sale, Moreover, this was an open and shut case. On the face of it there was no earthly reason why he should have de- layed even 5 minutes in putting his O.K. on the paper before him. And still the pen, from which ultimately must issue that fateful message, re- mained suspended in air, its point weaving little circles of indecision. The adjutant finally threw his pen down in despair and walked over to the window. Before him was a lovely stretch of emerald countryside; off there somewhere to the west the big guns were vomiting out their missiles of destruction. But he saw neither the beauty of the immediate vicinity nor was he thinking of the hell over in the distance. He was pondering the case of Capt. Freddie. Capt. Freddie, one of the finest offi- cers who ever led a bunch of bayonets over the top. Capt. Freddie, a clean living, hard-fighting gentleman. Cash- jereed! To be sent home in disgrace. To be a thing, yes, a thing, of reproach in the eyes of his fellow officers for life. To be evicted from his club. To be shunned on the street. Something remarkably like a “damn” escaped the adjutant’s grimly set mouth. He drummed impatiently on the window pane, and for the hun- dredth time reviewed the case, in hope that_he might see some tiny loophole which would save the captain, ‘The whole trouble started from the fact that Capt. Freddie loved his wife and she loved him. Daily the military tman trundled back and forth the little missives of affection between this pair of lovers—one in France and one in London. Those letters were won- dertul helps to a love-lorn couple. Still, it wasn't like seeing each other; a jolly long way from it. But war is war, and love doesn't enter into it very much., Men must fight, and women must stay at home and wait. Stern military’ law forbade the wife of any fighting man joining him in the war zone, even in the back areas where it was quiet. The penalty for violation of this law was court- martial and disgrace for the man. It was a funny sort of law, too, on lnll{lls. For a soldier might make all the love he wishes to any woman other than his wife. Wives only were barred. Of course, several million wives at the front would have presented something of a problem to G. H. Q. That was the military point of view, and the military viewpoint is notoriously lack- Mrs, pt. Freddie didn’t know much sbout military law. She only knew_that she was awfully lonesome for Freddie..

And so one day she wangled a trip to the war zone, with the Red Crossers, or some similar workers, She headed straight for Freddie, and she found him in Amiens. He was the same old Freddie, too. It was to see him. E But after the first greetings were their impatient drubbing. And gradu- ally a grin spread itself over his face. He hurried over to his desk and reached eagerly for the pen which he had thrown down so willingly a few mo- ments before. “This is going to be a bit tough on the little woman,” he said to himsel, “but it's got to be done.” Then he wrote his decision firmly across the papers, with a small flourish of grlde showing at the end of each word: “No_evidence adduced to show that the lady in question was Capt. Freddie's wife. Case quashed.” (Copyright, 1929, Assoclated Press.) Sweet Potato Special. Saute eight slices of canned pineapple in a little butter until brown.

February 13, 1861.—The peace com- mittee, which has been in session here in an attempt to find some way to bring the seceded States back into the Union, or devise a plan which will at least temporarily bridge over the S ent crisis on the slavery question, met again today without result. It was an- nounced that the committee probably would have nothing to suggest for two or three days. Meantime the action of the seceded States in forming a Southern Confed- eracy and choosing Jefferson Davis of Mississippi as President has upset the best-laid schemes of many persons— schemes that for a time seemed to give hope of successfully solving the slavery problem, ‘The situation has now resolved itself into a struggle for the border slave- holding States. Some of the Southern extremists go so far as to declare that Maryland and Delaware eventually will join the new confederacy. But thus far there are no signs of a move in that direction in either of those States, ex- cept among individuals who do not con- trol the governments. All eyes today are turned toward Richmond, where the Virginia conven- tion met this morning. The only news that has come over the telegraph wire is that the convention has elected John Janney of Loudoun County as its pere manent president. Mr. Lincoln is continuing his journey through the Northern States toward Washington for his inauguration March 4. When passing through Cincinnati yesterday he delivered a short speech in which he repeated to the Kentuckians present what he had said during the campaign—namely, that the new ad- ministration will be conducted with “strict regard for the compromises on the Constitution.” Mark Dubant, one of Washington's best known citizens, is the subject of congratulation from all those who are upholding the Union. He speaks “with great satisfaction” of his family of boys in the present crisis. He has seven sons, all for the Union. Two are captains in the volunteer militia and the others are in the ranks. ‘The Federal Government continues to add small detachments to the mili- tary forces at its command here.

James Buchanan. JAMEB BUCHANAN, Jackson Demo- crat, and suave, courtly diplomatist, took office March 4, 1857, with the slavery issue and threats of secession rocking the ship of state. | Although Buchanan was not a popu- lar idol and the clouds of political rancor and sectionalism dulled enthu- siasm at his induction to the presidency, the inaugural pa- rade was a mili- tary and patriotic pageant of consid- erable brilliance. In a car drawn by six horses was & woman dressed as the Goddess of Liberty and a flag- pole 50 feet high. Another spectacu- lar float was @& full-rigged warship with sailors work. ing high in the rigging. Buchanan was the only son of Pennsylvania to be chosen head of the Nation, and the Keystone Club had a conspicuous place in the procession. George Washington Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Washington and adopted son of President Washington, was a guest at the ceremonies. He at- tended every inauguration_from Wash- ington to Buchanan. The inaugural ball, held in a huge wooden building erected for the occa- sion, was a gala affair. The ceiling was white, studded with golden stars; the walls were hung with red, white and blue draperies, and the room was illumi- nated by many large chandeliers. A newspaper of the time tells of the “bountiful provisions” at the supper served in an apartment adjoining the baliroom. For wine and champagne alone $3,000 was spent; there were 1,200 quarts of ice cream, 500 quarts of chicken salad, 400 gallons of oysters, 60 saddles of mutton and 4 of venison, 8 rounds of beef, 75 hams, 125 tongues and 500 quarts of jellies. The mistress of the White House was Harriet Lane, daughter of the Presi- dent's sister and of Elllot T. Lane, member of an old Virginia family. A society reporter of the day writes of her beauty and charm as follows: “The merry, bewitching Miss Lane— her cheeks vying with the rose she loved, and her large blue eyes beaming with amiability and gentleness. Her person is above medium height, well proportioned. She is a blond with hair worn perfectly plain and with a faultless complexion‘ blending the, lily and the rose’ and pronounced by com- mon consent of both sexes beautiful.” The young Prince of Wales, after- ward King Edward VII, visited Wash- ington in 1860. At his reception at the White House, “the prince, dressed in the usual blue coat and grey pants and with ungloved hands, stood upon the right of the President. “As each person passed, the Presi- dent shook hands with his customary urbanity and the prince bowed his head as usual. Several ladies succeeded in shaking his hand, however. By way of preparation for dinner, the prince play- ed a game of tenpins in the gymnasium of a school for girls, whither he went with Miss Lane and Mrs. Secretary Thompson.” In the evening there was a state din- ner for the prince, attended by 32 guests, and followed by fireworks. A cotemporary account says: “The prince was in high spirits all evening and made himself agreeable to many a fair dame, not alone by reason’ ot his title, but because he developed himself for the first time as a gay and gallant young gentleman who seemed desirous of pleasing.” Another important event of the Buchanan administration was the visit of the Japanese embassy, which led to the establishment of diplomatic rela- tions between the two countries. At the reception in the White House “both ladies and gentlemen in their eager- ness to get a good look at the Orientals in their native costumes climbed on chairs and pler tables. The three am- bassadors and a suite of 50 servants gre“sem:d a picturesque view down the all. “Approaching the President in pro- found silence, the ambassadors bowed three times as they advanced and after pausing a moment retired, with a like number of bows. After an interval they again appeared bearing the auto- graphed letter of the Tycoon to the President.” PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE President Wilson’s praise of one of Fletcher’s murder stories gave that form of fiction a great impetus in this coun- try.
