The speaker .advised that much of the Old Testament history was adaptable for hero-worship for boys.

Cruikshank Falled to Get Even = Glimpse of Wi nd Children, Potsdem, N. Y.. Jen. 26.—Captain Barton Cruikshank returned to this village {oday almost direct from Porto Rico and made 2 fruitless effort to see his wife and family, who for more than a year mourned him as dead until he was found In New York as Donald Douglas. By a coincidence today was the first birthday of Cruikshank’s son, whom he had never seen. Though an- nouncements from the family that there would be no reconciliation had preceded his arrival, Cruikshenk was hopeful that his wife would receive dren again. Mrs. Crutkshank was firm in her refusal to see her husband and tonight the captain, plainly distressed, ahim and that he could see his chil- | is on his way to Syracuse. even get a glimpse of either his wife | [ or children, and in fact made no‘effort | to when told her decision was final. Captain Cruikshank arrived here shortly after noon and was met at the station by a crowd of villagers. Seiz- ing the arm of his brother-in-ta Stickney, of Albany, he hurried to the office of his attorney, Judge Georga W. Fuller. There a conference was held which lasted six hours. At this con- ference the captain, it is said, signed a number of papers. Cruikshank was vistbly - nervous when his train neared the village from which he dropped out of sight more than a year age. “T sincerely long for a chance to re- turn home and if possible start all over aguin,” he said. “But that part of it is up to Mrs. Cruikshank and her fam- | ilv. At any rate, I shall continue to contribute as far as I possibly can to their support. It Is up to Mrs, Cruik- shank to say whether that +support shall come in the form of alimony or natural channels. | “My wife is a wonderful woman,” he | said, meditatively. “T will admit that | I made a mistake, a grave error, but that & past now.

Mrs. Ithamar Dubols, Mrs. Cruik- | shank's mother. said: “You may say there will be no reconciliation; indeed, they shall never see one another un- less it be purely by chance.” LEGISLATORS PAY A VISIT TO LAWRENCE. for First-Hand Information About Textile Strike. Lawrence, Mass., Jan. 26.—An infor- mal visit of Speaker Grafton D. Cush- ing and members of the committee on rules of the Massachusetts house of representatives, who came here to fa- millarize themselves with actual con- ditions before acting on a pending pe- titlon for a legielative investization, added interest to the textile strike sit- uation today. The legislators were In conferenee for some time with the eft- izens' committee which is gaged in efforts to bring and went away wilh a feeling that an early settlement of the strike was not improbable. They said that this feel- ing was based on intimations conveved to them by members of the. citizens’ committee. Later the legislative com- mittee conferred with the strike lead- ers, Joseph J.
