Hooster Vagabond
2? BROWN COUNTY, Ind, Aug. 23.—One night I met Billy Pryor, a young man in his last year of high school. His father is a rural mail carrier. They live several miles out of town, way up a hollow, at the end of the dirt road. I drove him home. Billy is tall and thin and smiling, and I saw that*™m him was a sensitiveness that is unusual in boys his age. I could feel that he appreciates his hills and their nature and their peoples even more, probably, than most of the art sts. As we drove along I said, “What is the name of this hollow?” “It doesn't have any,” he said, “except that I call it Pleasant Valley and sometimes Happy Valley.” It was gathering dusk. The dark green ridges stood up on either side of us, and you could barely make out cabins. The names Billy used were commonplace, but there was a deep intensity in his voice. “You really love it that much?” I asked him. “Yes, I really do.” he said. That's all we said about it, but it almost made a lump in my throat that anyone so young and unstudied could feel so passionately for his own soil and valleys and trees. =

A Gold Prospector
John Dine came .intd Dennis Caivin’s store while I was there. He was in overalls. He lives way up Salt Creek, and does some farming. He is, furthermore, one of the half dozen men in Brown County who pans occasionally for gold. In many ways John Dine represents the true native character of Brown County. He has bought his own clothes since he was seven years old, by panning gold. For 51 years he has dressed himself with his gold pan. He is slow-spoken, and polite, and in him there is a strong pride in being independent. He says he knows how to do lots of things besides farm—a fellow has to, to live down here. “I never could stand to see somebody do something I couldn’t do,” he says. There is not a real living in gold in these hilly creeks, but it forms an alternate when everything else
Our Town
WHERE THE INDIANAPOLIS Orphans Home now stands used to be the home of Gen. Abel D Streight. It was a big Southern Colonial affair with four tall Corinthian columns out in front. When he
died, his wife had him buried in the front yard. Legend has it that she said: “I never knew where he was when he lived so I buried him here, and now I know where he is.” Mrs. Fred Darby of Ravenswood, who says she was a young lady when she heard the story, wants to know whether it is true or not. The part about his burial place is absolutely true. As for the rest of the story, I wouldn't know. I happen to know, however, that Mrs. Streight was an extraordinary woman—probablv the only Indianapolis woman who took part in the Civil War. For a while, at any rate. When the Fifty-first Indiana Infantry marched through the South, the regiment was in command of Col. Streight. His wife accompanied the regiment on its long march from Stevenson, Ala. to Nashville, Tenn. She was the only woman with that division of the army numbering 75.000 men. At Nashville a battle was imminent and Col. Streight sent his wife and S-year-old son to the North.

i" ’ < Trapped by Morgan's Men The trip from Nashville to Tyree Springs was made in a stage coach with 17 other passengers. Everything went all right when, suddenly, they were stopped by a band of Morgan Raiders. The mgn of the party were ordered to leave the coach, but before doing so they left their revolvers on the seats. Quick as a flash, Mrs. Streight picked up the guns and tucked them away in her underskirt. She kept count as she put them away. There were exactly a dozen. After all of the men had alighted one of the raiders commanded the driver to take the women to the hotel. That evening a doctor who said he was associated with Morgan's men entered the hotel parior where the women were sitting and announced that he had been ordered to make a search. He added
Washington
WASEINGTON, Aug. 23.—So far as I know there is no handbook of etiquette that suggests appropriate remarks one might make after being hanged in effigy. That long-felt want has now been admirably met by Senator Claude Pepper of Florida He has been advocating conscription and he was hanged in effigy on Capitol Hill by a crowd of angry mothers opposed to the draft. It was the first symbolic lynching that had occurred under the leaves of our citadel of democracy since the Civil War, so the oldest inhabitants hereabouts tell us. This symbolic lynching was a symbolic disgrace but it had a supreme and perhaps a slightly glorious climax when the notification ceremonies were held afterward in Senator Pepper's office. The effigy. bearing its insulting placard, “Claude Benedict Arnold Pepper,” was cut down and delivered to the Senator. If Wendell Willkie was on a spot with his acceptance speech, it was a spot no hotter than that upon which the audacious voung Senator Pepper found himself. » n ”
A Classic Utterance .
Senator Pepper's speech was a brief gem. It breathed so deeply of the spirit of our free democracy that it deserves its place among the classic utterances of our history. I quote it, and I hope that many others will quote it too—nrow, and for years to come—to shame those intolerant persons whose first impulse, whenever an issue arises, is to let go of the primary essential of democracy—tolerant respect for the opinions of others.
My Day
HYDE PARK, Thursday —Yesterday was a quict day and we were happy to see Franklin Jr. for a little while. He celebrated his birthday last week with his wife and liftle boy in Northeast Harbor, Me., on his return from his reserve officers’ cruise. Now he has come back and is doing some work in New York City. The President left in the evening to go back to Washington. I think this has been one of the quietest and most restful visits he has had this summer. One can never, of course, feel entirely free "from the shadow of world events, but in the country there : is always something healing in 3 the mere fact that nature does { rebuild whatever she destroys. 34 I have received a copy of the September issue of Harper's Magazine, with an article: “The Inner Threat, Our Own Softness,” by Roy Helton, marked for me to read. He seems to feel that the democracies have suffered from the influence of feminism and all of our softnesseS have come from the fact that men have increased the luxuries of life just because they have been trying to please the ladies.

Joan Dine took out of his pocket a little glass bottle with a screw top, with some gold flakes in the bottom of it. John Dine wanted $2 for it. Dennis Calvin paid him $2 for it. They didn’t weigh it, or haggle about it, or anything. John said it was worth $2 so Dennis ‘knew it was worth $2. That's the way things are down here.

who seemed to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. I forget what he asked me first, but I was buying an Indianapolis Times at the moment, and it turned out he was The Times boy in Nashville. He said he had 36 regular customers in Nashville. He said if he could get up t® a total of 50 he would get a three-day vacation trip to Dunes State Park np on Lake Michigan. \ He said another boy got that many, and then quit as soon as he got the vacation trip. He said he didn't think that was any way for a boy to do busiress. He said that now and then The Times made a mistake and sent him too many papers, and that when they did, he took those extra copies around and gave them away to people. He said that seemed like good business to him. I've never seen a tycoon more grave. And so, not just because I write for the paper, but in spite of it, I would like to suggest that it is a civic duty of the people of Nashville to subscribe for 14 more Indianapolis Times in behalf of a certain local businessman whose initials are V.

that the women must undress and be quick about it, too Mrs. Streight, mad as a hornet, drew one of the revolvers and pointed it at the doctor, saying she would die before submitting to such an indignity. Which didn't help matters at all. It merely vexed the doctor. To such a degree that he repeated the order. In the meantime, a little boy who was with one of the women ran out to Maj. Scott, who was in coms mand of the guerrillas, and told him what was going on at the hotel. The Major showed his good side that day and said he would shoot anyone who would force a woman to comply with an order as outrageous as the doctor had issued. Hearing the Major's remark, Mrs. Streight pushed the insolent doctor backward down the hotel steps into the street. He lit on his head. Goody. ”

After the. attempted search, the womén weren't bothered any more—except that a guard was placed over them for the night. In the early morning the guard was withdrawn and Mrs. Streight figured out her next move.
From her window she could see a young beardless man—he wasn't more than 18—sleeping under the stagecoach. She tip-toed up to him and said he must hitch the horses and be out of town before another hour passed. The boy refused whereupon Mrs. Streight dug down into her skirt, pulled out a gun, and covered him. You bet, the boy got busy. Mrs. Streight, with a cocked revolver in her hand, $at beside the driver. The coach whirled past the huts of the raiders without anything happening. FEither the Morgan men were too dazed with sleep or too astonished to offer resistance. After six hours of hard driving, the coach with its load of women arrived in Franklin. Soon as Mrs. Streight had finished her dinner she went to the railroad station to see ahout a train going North. While on her way she saw a cloud of dust. A moment later she saw a hundred horsemen making straight for her. Sure, she was scared. It turned out to be Gen. Smith and the advance guard of the Union Armv. The General recognized Mrs. Streight and made arrangements to assist her. She got home all right.

" One Way Free Speech One of the curious inconsistencies of this bitter fight over conscription that has shaken Washington to its roots is that those who oppose conscription as a threat to democratic institutions are themselves |
using the most intolerant tactics. They make the point that conscription would fasten the ways of dictatorship on us. But in so ©oing, they frequently desert the level of reason and stoop to the intimidating, smearing tactics of she Nazi Goebbels. They appear to respect free speech only by themselves. Adequate defense of the United States, and how it should be achieved, 1s a question that rises supreme | over a. other considerations. The fullest discussion of it is warranted—discussion of the question, not of the personalities. In 1917 it was not possible for the elder La Fo'lette nor for Senator G2orge Norris to get a hearing. Then the intoierance was on the other side.

Looking at the Ohio
By Joe Collier IF you're ‘going to Clifty Falls State Park over the week-end, be sure to brush. up on what’s been going on for the last five or six hundred million years. Otherwise the youngsters are very apt to ask a couple of trick questions that will catch you off base. Clifty Falls is one of the most fossilifefous sections in this part of the country. That means there are a great many old fossils in the valley and you'll be just one
more if you can't explain them to the satisfaction of the family.
Your first glimpse of the canyon floor is apt to catch your breath. It is deep and it goes almost straight down, more than 100 feet. It also has a helter-skelter beauty, with steeple-jack trees growing in crevices and along the precipices, fringing the stone cliffs that appear to be older than time itself. The canyon floor is paved with large hunks of rock which broke thousands of years ago from the cliffs and tumbled into the valley, there to remain quietly and gather moss. There are steps leading from the brink: to the floor of the canyon and descending them is an adventure. They, too, go almost straight down and, by the same token, straight up on the return trip.

O get to Clifty Falls Park from Indianapolis you take Road 31 to Columbus and Road 7 from there to the park. Nothing you will see on the way down will prepgre you for the canyon. Nothing you will see in the picnic area will give you much of a hint, either. You have ycur choice of getting meals at the park inn or taking them in baskets to be eaten in the open. After the meal, you are ready for the adventure of the canyon and, taking your child's hand in your own, you start down the long flights of steps.

I do not really think that this is true, for the world seems to me run for men and by men even now. Here and there you find a spoiled woman, but I think she is always matched by a spoiled man. I agree with much that Mr. Helton says. My only contention is that the gentlemen are quite as much | to blame as the ladies. If children are spoiled, it is | just as apt to be the father's fault as the mother’s. If we do not want to face paying taxes, I haven't noticed that the gentlemen clamor to do so any more than the ladies. There is a sufficient majority of gentlemen still in Congress to make us do it if they feel strongly about it. ® We should not miss one paragraph in this article: “For be sure of this, in a world of power the gracious, the genteel, the sheltered life has of itself no force. It has no vital consequences. Couple democracy to those ideals and you marry it to death. Whatever survives between now and the year 2000 will be something tough.” I'agree with you Mr. Helton, it will be tough, but one can be tough and at the same time gentle and gracious and cultured. Some of the toughest people I know are both gentle and gracious.

Because of the ‘vast amount of water that poured into this new river, the valley was

cut very quickly--so quickly that it outstripped the valley being cut by Clift Creek. That left Clifty Creek valley a hanging valley, way above the level of the Ohio River, and Clifty Creek, then probably a much larger stream, began to seek the level of the Ohio, In its search, it discovered weaknesses in the-rock formation and created CHfty Falls and Clifty Canyon Thousands of years from now, the work may re completed, the geologists say, and Clifty Creek will run an orderly course to the Ohio and thence to the sea. When Clifty Creek created the canyon it brought to view rock formations that date to the Pleis« tocene period when the area was the bottom of an inland sea And in these rocks can be found fossils of sea creatures the like of which no longer exist. You can find Trilobites, the fossils of extinct animal life; Gastropods, the fossils of snails; Cephalopods, the fossils of shell fish, and many others.
