I TREMENDOUS i TRIFLES I ® By ELMO SCOTT WATSON MOST HISTORIC THREE R*S SPEAK of the Three R’s and yon naturally think of those you learned tn the little red school house — reedin’, ’rilin' and ’ritbmetic. But ; more historic are those which kept Janies G. Blaine out of the White > House. They were Rum. Romanism and Rebellion. Blaine, twice the Republican nomination for the had Won It In 1884. Despite the attacks . made upon his character, he seemed 1 a certain winner over Grover Cleveland, the Democrat. Republican lead- I era. to counteract those attacks, staged a reception for their candidate by a group of Protestant clergymen. Rev. Samuel D. Burchard, a Presby- i terlan minister, acting as spokesman.! for the group, said to Blaine: “We are i Republicans and don’t propose to leave ; our party and Identify ourselves with | the party whose antecedents have been i rum. Romanism and rebellion.** Blaine. | tired out from a long speaking trip. I was paying little* attention to the I speaker and did not catch those three ' fatal words. If he had. there is no j doubt that he would have repudiated them. But be didn't and the news leaked out Immediately the Democratic press took them up. Soon Dame Rumor .whispered that Blaine himself had uttered the Three R’a. They were a direct slap in the face, not only for the people of the South but more particu- i larly for the large body of patriotic j Roman Catholic voters. In vain the Republican candidate re- I pudlated this slander. It was too late. , As the campaign drew to a close it be- i came apparent that the state of New York would decide the issue. Cleveland carried New York by only 1,140 votes. Had it not been for Doctor Burchard’s "three little words," it is probable that Blaine would have had that ■arrow margin and with it, the election, • •' • A BOX OF PILLS JUST before sunrise on June 22, 1918, a train en route to Hammond. Ind., stopped Just east of the little town of Ivanhoe, because the conductor bad noticed a hot box on one of the cars. It was the second section of the Hagen-beck-Wallace circus train. The trainmaster, dosing tn the caboose, awoke suddenly to see the headlight of a speeding locomotive boring through the dim morning light It was an empty troop train—2l steel pullmans drawn by a powerful locomotive. It had not slowed down for a cautlofi signal two miles back; it bad passed the next one set on the red; it had ignored a flagman from the circus train, frantically waving his red lantern. and as a last resort—be had tossed a lighted fusee at the engine cab window as it roared past in another moment the big engine had plowed into tbe rear of the circus train. Wooden coaches crumpled like cardboard boxes and almost Immediately burst into flames from the shattered oil lamps. Hours later when they cleared away the wreckage and counted the toU, it was 08 dead and 127 injured—downs, bareback riders. tra;x-ze performers, acrobats, animal trainers, veterans and internationally known stars of the "big top." An Investigation followed. The engineer of the troop tram admitted be had been dozing at his post and hadn’t seen any of the warning signala Was bls health good? Yes. it was all right except—well. Just before starting on his run, he had taken some pills! The pills left in the box were sent to chemists who found In them drugs which produced unavoidable drowslness. Because of them, there had occurred the worst disaster in circus history I .• • e A COUGH AND A MASSACRE CHARLES LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE wanted to be emperor of France, as his uncle. Napoleon Bonaparte, had been. The revolution of 1848 gave him his first chance, for it resulted in his being elected to a seat in the national assembly. His popularity grew and he secured the office of president But Louis Napolem wasn’t satisfied with thia He wanted his term of office extended to ten years and a residence in the Tnilleriea. Then on December 2. 1851. be staged bis famous coup d'etat Tbe assembly was dissolved and ISO of its members were placed under arrest. At once there was an uprising in the French capital.' An excited young aide dashed into the palace with news that a mob was on the way to storm tl»e gates. He gave the information to Count de St Arnaud who happened to have a very bad cold. Between his fits of coughing. be heard the aide’s news and, in apology, said ”Ma sacre tuux!" (My d—d cough!) The aide misunderstood him, and thinking ne said "Massacres tonal" (Massacre them all I) ran outside to give the order to the troops. Several hundred people were killed and before the day was over the fighting in tbe streets of Parti was a bloody slaughter—all because of a bad cough I < W*ot*ra Mwewxr Datae.
