SUCCESSOR IN TRAINING FOR PREMIERSHIP ‘Galloper* Smith Slated to Fill Shoes of Lloyd George. WORKS HIS WAY TO TOP LONDON, Feb. 6. —Just as assuredly s Lloyd George Is the present Prime Minister of England, so Lord Birkenhead', Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, trill be his successor. Nobody on this Bide of the Atlantic has the slightest doubt on the point. Frederick Edwin Smith, now known as Lord Birkenhead, has had the most meteoric career that Britain has ever known. Never before, not even in the instance Os Pitt, has a man taken the reins of government with .so short a bound. It was in February, 190(5. that London first heard of this young man. There had been a Parliamentary election. The Tories, after eleven years of power, had been wiped out. Just a faded remnant bad been returned to the House of tommons. The benches opposite were Crowded with triumphant Liberals. ASTONISHED COM MONS. And then, second day of the session, an unknown, immaculately dressed youth, with smooth hair and Liverpool accent, arose to address the house and the hostile legions opposite. He had no feelings of defeat. He made ho apologies. With silken voice and brutal invective he flayed the life from she victorious foe. Arthur James Balfour, leader of a hopelessly defeated party, looked around and asked; “In Heaven's name, who is this boy?" All England next day was ringing with the name of F. E. Smith. He became familiarly known as “Galloper" Smith. This was really -the third stage in “Freddy” Smith’s career. At the beginning he was the son of a very poor and Unsuccessful lawyer. His ability brought him prizes enabling him to go to a good school at Liverpool. From there ne won, his way to Oxford University, supporting himself all the time. WAS LEADER AT OXFORD. At Oxford he quickly made himself the man of the day. A great football player, president of the Union, triple first-class degree, this handsome boy—> without a cent—dominated the ancient purlieus of the venerable city. And all the people who counted asked: “Whav will he become?" For the time being he had no money to become anything. So for several years he was a famous professor and teacher. Then he went to the bar. And one day there was a most extraordinary forgery case. The prisoner was conspicuously guilty, but the defense put up was one that drew the excited attention of all England. F. E. Smith was the defending counsel. After that Liverpool, his native city, could not make enough of him. He had the pick of all the big legal causes that happened. He lived in tremendous style In a huge house, keeping a string of hunters, entertaining in elaborate style and making the entire community wonder hew he did it. His fame spread daily until men gasped. HERO IN HIS HOME TOWN. The famous Judge, Lord Mersey, was In Liverpool at that time. One day, driving around, a legal friend asked him who owned a huge skyscraper just constructed. • I don't know,” said Lord Mersey, “but I should imagine ‘Freddy" Smith is taking new offices.” He nearly threw away everything in the Ulster cause wuen he became “Galloper Smith,” i(> the Orange Army, in 1914. It was touch and go whether ht and Carson would not be indicted for big treason. But the war came, and these things were put aside. Lord Birkenhead went to France In 1914, as a major in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry. He served in the trenches for nearly a twelve-month, and then the government ordered his recall. He was need-ed-as attorney-general. And he came back with some regret. His extraordinary industry, rapid grasp of fact and amzing rapidity of Work made him invaluable to Lloyd George. At the next reconstruction of the Ministry he was made Lord Chancellor and head of the entire British judicial system, with enormous plenarypowers and unqualified prestige. He wired the fact to his wife, and the signature was, “Your impoverished husband.” He had sacrificed half his income by taking on the job. The old-fashioned judges of England were askance at the appointment. Never before had a man of forty-five been given such office. After he had delivered bis first judicial opinion they altered their view. Just a month ago, aft*r one of his judgments, three famous ex-Lord Chancellors —Lord Haldane, Lord Finlay end Lord Buckmaster —solemnly arose in turn and paid tribute to what they termed the finest contribution to the law of England they had ever known. And so this academic athlete, this political adventurer and learned philosopher just coming to the summit of his career. His powers of speech turn great audiences dizzy. His considered judgments make musty old lawyers enthusiastic. He can still play tennis all the morning, work all the afternoon and evening and dance all night. ne has lately been the main figure in the settlement of the Irish quarrel. Only one thing remains to him, and that Is the premiership. He wants tifkt, and it may come to him earlier than most people believe. Modern Redskin Is Handy With ‘Stick’ LAWRENCE, Kan., Feb. 6.—The Indian of today can handle th" printer’s “stick" with the same dexterity as his forefathers handled the tomahawk. A visit to the Haskell Institute near here would convince the most skeptical that the Apache, Commanche, Sioux, or Creek redrnan is well-nigh the equal of his white brother as a printer. Twenty-siv Indians are enrolled in the four-year printing course at the university. They are learning their trade In a modern shop, complete with mechanical equipment. All of the institution’s printing is done here and also the School weekly publication, the Indian Leader. Once a month the Leader appears in magazine form, with colored cover and fully demonstrates the Indian’s achievements in the printing trade. •Tail Bird Came Home to Roost I’T. PLEASANT, W. Va„ Feb. 6. - —When a man breaks out of jail It Is usually with the intention of staying away from it, but the rule does not apply to Strother Colley of this county, who escaped from the Mason County jail here two months ago. He was sentenced to a fonr mouths' term for sending a threatening letter through the mails. The other night Sheriff John F. Lewis was aroused from his bed by the ringing of the jail doorbell. He responded and was surprised to find Colley standing there. Colley said he had come back to eat. He had wandered over several States since leaving the jail, had been unable to obtain employment and was also unable to get “three squares” a day. Colley had three months of his sentence to serve, and he figured it was easier to eat by staying In jail than roaming the country.

Sacrifices Life, but Is True to His Principles

Strange Story of Devotion to Cause and SelfAbnegation Vouched for by Marion County Man.

Devotion to principle has been the Impelling force of some of the most heroic actions of history. For principle's sake men and women have faced death in its most terrible forms, at the stake, in the arena with ferocious animals, and by tire and sword. But it has remained for Indiana to produce an example of supreme devotion in the animal kingdom, unsurpassed in human history and unequalled in the annals of the lower animals. Saint Anthony, the hero of this tale, was a proud, handsome rooster, aud he reigned unchallenged for several years over the barnyard of D. H. Wiggins, near Crows Nest, north of Indinapolis. But His Roostership, cock of the walk though he was, was noted for one outstanding characteristic, a supreme contempt for all things feminine, both fowl and human. He was the an inveterate, irreconcilable woman hater, and for his principles he gave up his life, calmly, unostentatiously, but with all the heroism of the Christian martyr thrown to the lions to gladden the hearts of the vestal virgins. DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE. According to Mr. Wiggins this unusual fowl was disappointed in love when hut a young cock. It seems that he became desperately infatuated with a trim yonng chicken and for her forsook all other flappers, though there were several dozen of them in the flock. By and by there came one day tc the family nest a dozen pretty eggs upon which the lady of his choice proceeded to sit. With pride In his eye the rooster strutted around day by day, waiting nervously for the moment when his young brood should issue from their shells. But his day of joyousnegs was to be turned into one of Stygian gloom, for ’when the hen of his heart came forth into the barnyard, trailing along behind her came yleven beautiful, fluffy little chicks and—almost too terrible to tel!—one waddling, web-footed duckling. The proud parental crow that had started in his throat choked to a strangled cackle as the rooster tumbled off the fence and maped in a corner. heart- ] broken. From that time forth he was a changed cock. Embittered by the Infidelity of his soul mate, he forswore all things feminine and took a vow of celibacy, for never again was he seen in the company of the female of the species. This gained for him his name of Saint Anthony, and never was she grim old saint himself more sorely tempted than was his rooster namesake. nens. chickens, flappers, broilers all tried to vamp him, but Saint Anthony j combined the resistive power of adamant: with the glacial coldness of the iceberg. He ruled his flock, but he ruled if aloof, alone, and without love or sentiment. BECAME FASTIDIOUS ABOUT EATING. He would not even eat food provided by the women of the Wiggins household, and if a man did not feed him, he either did without or scratched his own. He roosted apart from the flock. If the hens elected to sleep in the chicken

house he roosted in a tree. If they took his tree he either drove them nwaj or chose another. With the gossip of the old hens he had no patience, neither had he tolerance for the silly cackling of the younger chickens. Realizing aud respecting his scruples Mr. Wiggins built Saint Anthony a separate house In which he roosted In bad .veatlu- Wednesday, in some manner, the joor to Saint Anthony’s private garaje became shut and, as the ladies of his unused harnie had taken to the chicken he use. he was forced to roost in a tree. That night the mercury fell below zero for the only time this winter, ana when Mr. Wiggins looked out of his window Thursday morning, there lay Saint Anthony under the tree, a frozen corpse; but he died as he had lived—t true to his principles, and Mr. Wiggins buried Sf. ADtbony in an enclosed plot where his body will not be profaned by the steps of the feminine flock he so detested during his lifetime. New ‘Terror’ for European Customs LONDON, Feb. 6.—Visas for lingerie are the newest, terror added to European customs examination. Thousands of people holding frontier permits have dally passed Into Germany wearing old clothes, which as soon ns the frontier was passed they discarded and with cheap marks bought new outfits on which they had to pay no duty. The Swiss authorities have now decided that every person passing the frontier will be required to have every article of clothing, from boots to hnt, stamped with the official seal. Even women’s most intimate attire will be unable to escape registration. Domestic Servants Now Nurse Their Jobs NEW TORK, Feb. 6. —The “fly-by-nlght” type of domestic servant Is rapidly disappearing, according to an announcement by L. n.

Public May Help Mail Service PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. o.—Ever hear of a postmaster in a big city admitting that the public was helping him out In improving the mail service? Postmaster George W, Gosser told a reporter this; "We have been able to reduce the making up of the mails two hours during the the early night in the central Pittsburgh postoffice because the public is cooperating with us in the ma s ter of mailing aud wrapping packages more carefully. Everybody connected with the service is also helping along the good work. If the public continues to cooperate everybody will benefit by it.” Recently Postmaster Gosser asked all firms having a heavy outgoing mail to sort the mail up by cities, right side up. This would save an enormous amount of sorting on the part of the mail clerks, and would save very much time in turning half the letters over. The experiment proved a tremendous success. Isolation Makes Hill Billy Queer COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. “The thing that makes the inountaiueer of the Southland highlands a problem is his isolation,” declared Dr. W. J. Hutchins, president of Berea College, addressing a local audience. "Isolation makes poverty, poverty makes poor schools, poor schools make Illiteracy, and Illiteracy deficient church life,” continued Dr. Hutchins. Ho said that, although the better class amongst mountaineers is as much opposed to Illicit distilling of liquor as any other group of Americans, tlie poor facilities for transportation of corn to market, the low market price for corn, compared wflh sifi to S2O a gallon for moonsbiDe, aud the fact that many children are dependent upon them for support combine to induce some mountaineers, who otherwise would not dc so, to make mooushlne. “The mountaineers are typically American," said Dr. Hutchins. “They know our language. They ure loyal to the core and prolific beyond all other Americans.” Says Women’s Dress Real Temptation LONDON, Feb.

NERVOUS WRECK FOR SIX WEEKS Kentucky Lady Tells How She Became Strong and Healthy.— Recommends Cardui to Weak Women. Mount. Vernon, Ivy.— Mrs. Cynthia Vanhook, formerly of Stanford, but now residing here, says that after her third child was born, she undertook to resume her housework too soon, “and this caused me a great deal of trouble.” “I began to feel weak and al) played out —not myself at all,” ak Mrs. Vanhook describes her condition. "For about six weeks I was just a nervous wreck. I had to have someone do all my housework. \ “My doctor told me my imprudence had caused shock to the nervous system. and the thing to do w r as to use a tonic to build up my strength. “He recommended Cardui . . .

said, was an efficient body of men with spiritual ideas. If it was more difficult today for men to be pure In heart than it was before the war women had a great deal to do with it, aud he believed they would act differently in the matter of dress if they understood the position. “Modern fashions of domen's dress,” Major Birchall continued, “do make a real difficulty for men. They make cleanness of mind difficult for many thousands of men. I believe if women knew this they would see to it that such a thing was impossible. “We should point this out to them, and no good woman would then put temptation In the way of a man who might be struggling against it just for the sake of following the fashion.” Shirt-Sleeve Diner Caused JHot Dispute VIENNA, Feb.
