Senator Capper is not the type of man who would attract the attention of a Visitor to the Senate gallery very quick- ly. In the first place, he has very little to say on the floor. He sits quietly at his desk, a few feet from the Vice Presi- dent, either listening casually to debate or else fingering a sheaf of papers. He pays little attention to dress, usually wearing a blue serge suit and soft shirt, | gle color of the shirt sometimes a light ue. His most outstanding physical char- | acteristic, apart from his slight figure, is his eyes. They are large and help to accentuate the mildness of his face.

February 10, 1864.—A fire broke out in the private stables of President Lin- coln about 8:30 o'clock tonight, and all of the building except the part used for a carriage housc was destroyed.

Some of them are peculiarly suited to the home and others are for school As well as home. Every speclal day marks some high moment in the lives of a peo- Pple and that is of interest to all of us. Our Fourth of July, Flag day, Memo- rial day, Armistice day, Washington's day, Lincoln's birthday have tre- mendous meanihg to us. About each of them is clustered enough history, enough fine patriotism through and through. Christmas and Easter are in a class by themselves. They offer a rich con- tribution of music, painting, literature, religion, culture of the highest sort to children of all ages. The study of each day as it comes along is one of the best ways of inter- esting young children in their history. Beginning with the simplest facts in the lower grades and broadening into nts and associated causes in the higher grades, we instil life and interests into what otherwise tends to become dry-as-dust matter. There are many good stories for each special day. Tell the children the old folk tales and don’t shy at the hatchet story. It lies within the field of experi~ ence of the kindergarten and first-year children. It can do them no harm and is bound to do them good. It is good for children to hear that the Father of their Country could not tell a lie when he was little. While accenting the great days take heed of the lesser ones also. The story and legend, #ongs and poetry that are associated with them are of real im- portance in the cultural education of They open fields of knowl- to inquiring childhood, and the knowledge gained teaches understand- ing and admiration for the fine qual- | ities of other peoples. St. Patrick opens the way to the| legends and songs of Ireland. That in itself is an illumination of great beauty. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

RITA. | DorothyDix| Newlyweds Who Vowed to Speak Only to ach Other for Six Months Are Attempting a Dangerous Enterprise. [Are Husband and Wife Aided By This Plan Suggests Remedy for_ Domestic Beredom THE other day the newspapers told the story of a young married couple that has made a wager not to speak to any one except each other for six months. This is an attempt at an endurance record that makes staying up in the air 90 hours or wall from San Francisco to New York mete child’s play. But I want to wager that by the end of the third month they will be saying things to each other that could only be printed on asbestos paper, and that after it is over they will never speak to each other again as long as they live. For there is nothing that palls upon us more quickly than an uninterrupted diet of the same individual's society. The thirty quails in thirty days do not produce in us a greater nausea than does hearing the same old story over every day for thirty days. We have to have variety in our conversation as well as in our food in order to get the proper intellectual vitamins to keep us stimulated and interested. It is observable that the friends whg canpot do without each other for a single day soon get so that they cannot ‘do with each other for an hour, and tradition is full of stories of mining partners, or two men cast on a desert island by some wreck at sea isolated from all other human contact, who com- mitted murder because they could md.ure. each other’s company no longer. .. SOM!HOW we seem to need an outsider to stand between us and even those nearest and dearest to us and protect us from getting too much of them, for if we gaze too long at even the most beautiful face we get so we see only its defects. If we listen too long to thc sweetest voice, it gets on our nerves. Once I lived in a big apartment house in which also dwelt one of the famous of the grand opera stars, and yet at night when her glorious voice was raised in song. ‘windows would go up and irate neighbors would shout up the air shaft: “‘For heaven’s sake, shut up and let us go to sleep.” ‘The greatest trouble with family life is dullness. The thing that wrecks more homes than anything else is bovedom. At the bottom of ctically every family quarrel is the fact that the husband and wife have talked out fo each other on pleasant topics, and so they argue and dispute over every trifle just to infuse a little pep into the conversation. —_— | ‘The old romantic ideal of A man and woman who loved each other as being “two souls with but a single though'” may be all right in poetry, but not in real life. For it takes more than a sirgle thought, it takes a wide diversity of dif- ferent thoughts and ideas and opinicns to keep a man and woman interesting to each other and to enable them to be good fireside companions. And it is because husbands and wives, as a general thing, see too much of | each other, and not enough of otner people, than they get to the point where | conversation has been exhausted between them. In nine homes out of ten, the family spends the evening sitting up in a silence in which you could hear a pin | drop. Bet let any stranger come in for a call, and in an instant all is animation and chatter and laughter. THE explanation is perfectly simple. The husband and wife are fed up. They ! have told each other what they think, and what they think they think, until they know it by heart and each knows exactly what the other is going to say on any subject before he or she opens his or her mouth. They have heard each other's jokes and stories until they feel that they would scream if they had to hear them one more time. Even their words of affection have become meaningless because said over so often, ‘This is a situation that occurs in practically every married life, and it is strange that men and women who know that the love of variety and the necessity for change are fundamental passions of the human heart, and that they weary of the uninterrupted scciety of even the most brilliant and talented, still cling to the old superstition that married people never get tired of listening to each other and of being together. If they would only have the courage and the intelligence to face the facts in the case, it would do more than any other thing to prevent divorce. . For the remedy is so simple. Just a little parting. A little absence. A little talking with other people, and when husband and wife came together again they would have their little budget of fresh stories and experiences, new Jokes, a thousand things to gossip about. Many husbands and wives feel that they should be all in all to each other. This is an impossibility. Not one of us can fill all the needs of another’s soul. Wise are the men and women who encourage their mates to keep up their friendships, their social activities, evcry possible interest that keeps them fresh and bright and alert and entertaining and amusing. For these things keep marriage fiom descending into the slough of despond and make it indeed the holy estate. (Copyright, 1930.) MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

There’s a good deal of college spirit. It's all for dear only “cinema,” don’t you know. And morale must be kept the immorale that is going on. The college presidents and faculty members (producers) plant their mortar boards firmly above their unruffied brows and smile blandly.

That's how the perfect marriage with a moderately successful Hollywood husband petered out. ‘The whispering chorus now says that among the signs of Spring sported by this beauty is a fur wrap costing $60,000 —the sort of little valentine this Croesus would give.

A man can create a desert and a total silence around him very easily, and if he takes a dog and a gun, he will not see a squirrel or a tree-creeper, nor hear even a crow. Presently the silvery monotony of dead branches, the pall ot dead leaves on the forest floor becomes almost hostile, and final- | ly even the twirling of a litle ruddy, brown leaf, caught on some spider’s thread, seems like something alive and therefore comforting. To escape the sense of being lonely in a crowd, it is necessary to have a speaking acquaintance with the plant- people, whose faces, looking up at you, are really very friendly if you have eyes for them. Though almost the ! last partridge-berry has been devoured by the birds, and scarce a seed pod has not scattered its contents, there are many living plants in the Winter woods, and though I am not sure, I think | they do some growing even at this scason of yeAr. Not only are there the mosses and the lichens, but there is a far more amusing and important class of plants, the fungi. Winter is not a time to see mushrooms, but it is a splendid time of year for bracket fungi, those thick, shelf-like, drab-colored fellows growing out from stumps and trunks. | While it is true that these fantastic fungi are parasitizing the heartwood, slowly decogposing it to a state pice turesquely called “touch-wood,” the decorative fungus may not be doing any great harm. The sap wood Grows on unharmed, and the tree may finally be quite hollowed out by the bracket fungi, and still sand firm. ‘There secems to be no limit to the size that, around my house, bracket fungi will sometimes attain. I once found one, covered with snow, that was as large and heavy as an ordinary mattress. Theoretically, a bracket fungus might live several centuries, and probably they do: for if they attacked a young oak, grew up with the oak, and lived on it during its long decay, they might casily go back to the days be- fore Columbus. No sooner do people hear that a plant is a parasite, than the are filled with a horror of it. I see nothing particularly disgraceful in the condi- tion itself. We all live by killing and eating other organisms. A parasite is different only in this, that it settles down on its food and lives there—a mode of life that many humans would follow if it were possible. All things, oaks and nations alike, have their forces of decay, destruction or removal. This is, indeed. necessarily so, since it is an axiom in the phi- losophy of blology that nothing shall live forever, that all things change, that change is progress, or, if it is not progress, it is at least not stagnation. As between an oak and a thieving, ec- centric, _fat, deliclous old bracket fungus, T find that the fungus, on a Winter's walk. proves to be the more entertaining companion.

During &n important state confer- | ence the door opened and a servant said | to the President, “Mrs. Lincoln wants | u. “Yes, yes,” replied Mr. Lincoln with- out_impatience. The conference continued. Quickly the door reopened. There was the same servant. “She wants you right away,” he re- peated earnestly. ‘The imperious disposition of Mrs. Lincoln was largely to blame for such unhappiness as came to her. But her marriage was of the sort that produces events to try the temper. She came of an aristocratic, cultured family. Abraham Lincoin’s birth and upbringing were humble. He was from first to last a man of homely action and speech. After he had won her hand from his rival—in politics as well as in love— Stephen A, Douglas, Lincoln so doubted his ability to make Mary Todd happy that he falled to show up for his wed- ding. It speaks volumes for her faith in him and her love for him that she forgave this humiliation and became his wife. She seems actually to have believed her husband would become President. But,while she waited for the realization of her ambitions Mr. Lincoln wandered in the foreground of her consciousness, guilty of a succession of acts antitheti- cal to her aristocratic notions. He answered the doorbell in his shirt sleeves instead of sending a servant. He used his own knife in the butter instead of the sflver-handled one in- tended for the purpose. When he read he liked to lie on the floor with the back of an upturned chair for a pillow. Two ladies once knocked at the door of the Lincoln home in Springfield.
