The doctor's ire was aroused the other day by Senator Brookhart. The Senator from Iowa, he told the Senate *“scornfully mentions my State as if it ‘were responsible Tor all of the ills of the farmer and for all of the ilis ©f the human P Turning to urning Brookhart, in blunt Zfashion he told the Jowan that in this talk about poverty and distress and the necessity for relief “we in New York have poverty and distress and the necessity for relief.” “Because t h e Senator from Iowa Or any other Sena- tor cries ‘New York,' the New Yorker must suffer because of the sins of a few men who gamble upon Wall street, or ‘Who control the finances of America.” As a matter of fact, “Doc” Copeland €ontinued, New York poverty is. worse Iowa poverty. “For in Iowa you can go out and kill an old rooster and stew it long enough o get a food you can enjoy, or at least that will maintain your lives.

He suggested that the Towa Senator ator recognizes, does he not, that Iowa has sent her worst citizens down to New York to join in the same game?” Said Copeland: “I hope the Senator is enough to have sent all of his citizens. If he can get rid of them in that way, I congratulate him.” WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Gracefully wrote Gray: “From yonder ivy-mantled tower The mnpfifn owl doth to the moon compl Of such as, wandering near her secret wer, Molest her solitary reign.” But ivy-mantled towers are most un- American, and even the bird of which he wrote, the European barn owl, is not common in America. Indeed, I do not think that it is listed from the Dis- trict of Columbia, which is officially credited with the short-eared, long- eared, barred and screech owls. I have heard owls in Europe make a oping” sound. They also say, ‘Who? ho? Who?” and “To-whit- | to-whoo,” all of them very soft, almost musical sounds. The cry of an Ameri- can screech owl is to me something far wilder and more magical. Almost any | Winter night, especially on frosty, clear | ones, you may hear an owl calling, even sometimes in a city park or street where there are trees. The barred owl is rare; the long-eared and screech owls are common; the short-eared owl you will see only in ‘these Winter months, and if the Arctic lands sustain terrible weather we may again, this year, find | the beautiful snowy owl (who rejoices in the melliferous scientific name of nyctea nyctea), the hawk owl and the great gray owl, driven into Winter quarters around Chesapeake Bay, as in January and February, 1925. ‘The families to which animals belong and the families to which they are re- lated seem at first glance only a dry subject, fit for the attention of a few museum long beards. But I find I never weary of studying these family rela- tionships for resemblances of a fam- ily sort. The owl, in popular fancy, has a reputation for being the wisest of birds, because he is silent and makes large eyes, but the owl's true nature is understood when we realise that his family is closely related to the hawk's. Indeed, the owl is but a sort of hawk—a hawk without the airy, daring flights of the true hawk; a hawk who hunts at night; a hawk with ears as intricate and marvelous as a cat's take a census of the “big fellows” in | Tegio: New York. “He will find that most of them, per- Btkies'and Drobany & 1o of thein & , and prol a lot o fro; the State of Iowa.” o “Then,” replied Brookhart, “the Sen- ‘Even the nurseries have “gone mod- erne” and furniture of this type proves very practical for such rooms.

I happen to follow & vocation that brings me into close contact with Jouth —jyoung men and young women between the ages of 18 and 24. Through them T discover a great many interesting things about human nature. , they worry a great deal about names, especially their own. I find, often keeping notes on the ques- tion for several years, that nearly every one passes through a period when he would just as soon have some other surname. I can recall no fewer than 30 young men who have consulted me on the advisability of changing their names. Young ple are, of course, inter- ested in tfi“ soclal oontg:h they hope more.

February 11, 1864.—David Pretzman, known throughout Western Maryland as “Oross-eyed Davy,” was committed to the Old Capitol Prison here today by Capt. Todd. He was arrested at Hagers- town several days ago by Capt. Spauld- ing and sent on here. He belongs to the 1st Maryland Confederate Cavalry and is charged with being a spy. the Confederate movement in Maryland Pretzman tried to recruit a cavalry company for the Confederate service.

As time went on their financial con- dition grew better. But while Carlyle, in | the larger aims of life, was pure and unselfish, he was subject, in domestic life, not only to complaining moods, but to fits of sulkiness and unjust impa- tience. Above all, he was autocratic. His own discomforts surged in his mind to the complete effacement of thoughts of Jane's. For two weeks at a time his gloomy humor would make her feel as if she were “keeper in & mad house.” “If Carlyle wakes once in a night,” she told Froude, “he will complain of it for a week. I wake 30 times every night, but that is nothing.” Poor woman. She really was desper- ately ill. Her pale, drawn face haunted the memories of her friends. Pain and sleeplessness played havoc with her. Once she went 12 nights without a wink of sleep. In this situation it is pleasing to find that spiritual happiness returned to them. Carlyle, really a tender-hearted man, devoted himself to her. There must have been comfort for him in this in a later day. He went to Edinburgh to deliver an address at the university. His p with Jane was tender. He never saw her alive again, (Copyright, 1030.) ‘The head of the Tibetan e Dalai-Lama, is regards incarnation of Buddha. vernment, as the re- FEATURES." OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI Develop Time Sense. “Mary Ann, you are late again.” “Please, the clock was slow.’ “Mary Ann, couldn't you arrange it 50 that your clock could be fast once in a while?” “No, ma'am. Our clock is always slow. My mother says it's too early to get up if it's fast, so she keeps it slow.” ‘The clock ought to be set right and kept right. Time sense is highly im- portant to children. The clock is the only authority on the correctness of time, and if it is to be pushed back- ward and forward to accommodate the poor-time habits of people the children are going to have more or less trouble. We sll live rhythmically. When we follow a routine day after day our bodies take on that rhythm and ve are adjusted mentally and physically to that rhythm. When we break it we are uneasy, cross, lose time and do poor work. That is why late meals, irregular rising hours, irre tiring hours upset us. have better when they follow the schedule and the clock is the authority. It is a good thing to have the clock as the starter of the daily routine. If the rising hour for the children is set the clock will do its full share.
