GOV. MARSHALL'S TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER.
In speaking of the influence of
his mother. Gov. Thomas Marshall,
the Democratic vice presidential
nominee, is credited with the fol
lowing:
“I think back through the years,
the lean and the fat, the good and
the bad ones, to my earliest recol
lection. I see a woman v/ith an
eye that flashes swift as an arch
angel's wing and a mduth that
breaks with laughter and hardens
at sight of wrong, singing lullabies:
a woman who with hand grasping
the Unseen Hand walks the brier
bordered paths of life unshamed,
unafraid, unharmed. She is clad
in garments of beauty for me. and
age does not soil them, nor years
make them cheap and tawdry. Her
tongue is without guile, having nev
er been the messenger of a lie. It
is seventeen years since her soul
went home to God and her fingers
became for me the fingers of an
angel, but I have not forgotten all
she said. She told me there was a
Santa Claus, and 1 believe her. He
brings me no longer drums and fifes;
but he still brings to me the vision
of my mother and the music of that
angelic chorus which sang at crea
tion’s dawn and at the hour of man's
redemption.”
As a rule the politician who seeks
a job while he pretends to be sav
ing the country takes his business
a great deal more seriously than
the people who listen to him.
Nowadays, father is the list man
in town to get official notification
that his daughter is engaged.
There’s a big difference between
saving your money to get rich and
saving it to get married.
Dyed whiskers and rejuvenated
Tiair never fool anybody but the peo
ple who wear them.

ALVERSON’S !
ADVENTURE j
By STACEY E. BAKER j
(Copyright, l«li>, by Associated Literary Press.)
Alverson found the letter on the
j street. It was unopened and addressed
I to Mrs. Martin Von Kruger. 1(14 Won
dertnere avenue. His curious eyes
found the number above the door of
the house just opposite. It was 104
"1 have a letter for Mrs. Von Kru
ger.” he explained to the tidy maid
answering the bell. ”1—”
"You are expected, sir,” answered
the servant, with a neat little bow
“This way, please.”
“But—'* objected A!verson.
Too late! The maid was already
on her way. With a resigned sigh lie
followed.
Mrs. Von Kruger swept gracefully
across the velvet carpet and extended
a well manicured hand on the artistic
level of the young man’s chin She
was a tall, portly dame, middle aged,
and with the confident air of the sue
cessful social leader.
”1 knew you Instantly.” She smiled
Into the face of the surprised Alver
son. “Instantly,” she reiterated, re
leasing his hand. “Be seated, please
Holly will be In in a moment.”
,A]verson gave over to the woman
the letter which she carelessly laid
on a convenient stand unopened.
“You see,” continued Mrs. Von Kru
ger, “you have been so thoroughly de
scribed to me that I have had a mind
picture of you for months. ‘Tall,
broad-shouldered, curly hair, blue
eyes, resolute jaw, high cheek hones,
and let me see—good conversation
alist.’ ”
Alverson mentally stimrned up the
situation. Here was he, a soap sales
man out of Chicago, exchanging airy
persiflage with a hostess who certain
ly entertained under the delusion that
her visitor was some one expected
And he was poor enoiftch to sit here
and accept this same hospitality lie
squirmed, metaphorically, in his chair
and cursed his own stupidity In not
explaining.
This last menial racking was
brought about by a keen glance at the
slim girl who had drawn aside the
portieres that curtained the entrance
to another room and now stood, a
slight flush upon her fair cheeks, re
vealed In all her dainty loveliness.
“Mr. Alverson, my daughter. Dol
lie, you have often heard me speak of
the Alversons of Chicago. This Is one
of them.”
Alverson’s heart leaped into his !
throat. How did this woman know j
him? He had never heard of the Von
Krugers at home and he was quite
certain that had the family been as
intimate with them as the words of
nis hostess seemed to Imply he would
at least be familiar with their names
But the girl! For the second that
their hands met in brief contact all
thoughts of this unusual situation
vanished from his mind. She was a
dream! A revelation!
“1 am pleased to meet yon,” He
heard his voice respond to the intro
duction as from a distance. His
senses swam Magnetism is closely
akin to hypnotism.
"What do you think of New York.
Mr. Alverson?” asked the girl.
"It was on the tip of the youth's
tongue to say that the novelty of a
trip to the metropolis had worn awa.\
several seasons ago, but he suddenly
recollected that he was undoubtedly
supposed to be a stranger in the city
“From what 1 have seen of New
York today I am much impressed," he
declared, his mind, as a conscience
easer, reverting to the several sub
stantial orders he had filed.
Mrs. Von Kruger, after several con
ventkmal phrases, suddenly excused
herself and left the room.
No sooner had the portieres closed
behind her than the girl leaned for
ward in her chair and, with a steady
eye on the youth, asked:
“And now I am ready for your ex
planation Who are you, sir?"
The man gasped at the suddenness
of the question. Surprises were the
order of the evening.
“Why I—” lie stuttered, and then
with a determined effort to brazen it
through, "What do you mean? You
heard your mother’s introduction, did
you not?”
"Mother,” explained the girl, “is -er
non compos mentis, and the A1 verson
she speaks of has been dead for 10
years. At the time she was stricken
she was expecting this person to pay
her a conventional call and she has
l never gotten beyond that day. Now.
if 1 may repeat, who are you?”
And Alverson explained.
“Had our regular maid been on
duty,” continued the girl, “this would
never have happened But mother's
little failing ha - ne er been explained
to our new acquisition." She turned
almost timid eyes toward the man
j “However. 1 I dor. ; know but w hat
1 am glad It happened. This may have
a tendency to do away with her er
vagary."
“Then my calls should continue,'
suggested the traveling man.
“What do you mean?"
“Why. that 1 should he al’owefj to
come here often, if ‘he subterfuge is
| to be kept up. In tlie interests of a
cure, jfou know ”
"Of course," she agreed, "if it will
relieve mamma of her mild mania
i l—l can't object."

Man Meets Friends Dragging
River for Him.
Thought Drowned He Had Reached
Opposite Bank in Series of Long
Dives and Was Paddling
Back in a Canoe.
Richmond, Va.—Whether through
thoughtlessness or purpose, Charles >
Harding caused a sensation among
his relatives and had It spread
trroughout the city that he had been
drowned. Those who fell for the
story and took the trouble to investi
gate it were a bit sore and preferred
to believe that it was a put-up job
rather than an exhibition of expert
swimming.
Harding, who Is known ns one of
the most expert swimmers in Fulton—
and there are some swimmers in Ful
ton—went, out recently with a number
of others. First he swam over to the
Chesterfield side of the river, and, aft
er resting for a while, started hack.
When about midstream, far front ■
any of his companions, he disappear- '
ed. and, ns far as they could see, never [
came to the surface again. They
waited for some time and then sent
out the alarm that he was drowned.
His relatives were notified and a
searching party was being organized .
When Harding was discovered calmly ;
rowing up the river in a canoe in j
which he took passage soon after his
remarkable disappearance.
it turned out that Harding, when in
I the middle of the river, took a notion I
to do some fancy diving. He ducked
under the water and let himself go
with the current as long as lie could
hold his breath. Coming up but a
moment for a new supply of oxygen,
he took another dive and still anoth
er, until, when he finally tired of tho
stunt, he was nearly a mile from
where he left his clothes on the
hank. Tt was then that he chartered
the canoe and returned to the grief
stricken relatives and friends who
were about to drag the river.
One of his kinsmen. Fireman Will
iams, connected with Xo. 4 engine
house, was among those who bit. "1
knew."'said Mr. Williams, “(hat tie
would not he drowned unless taken
with cramp, hut anyone is likely to he j
taken with cramp, so when 1 got the
message there was nothing to do but
get a short leave of absence and see
about it."
Though he would not say that it
was a premeditated fake, Mr. Will
iams was very dubious.
ODD DIVERSION OF CHARITY
When Church People Refuse to Aid
Needy Trio of Vaudeville Troupe i
Others Rally.
Shippensbitrg. Pa.—PecatiFe Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Evans and little son,
stranded vaudeville actors, were re
fused assistance by wealthy church
people here and obtained liberal help
through collections raised in pool
rooms and cigar stores, the town re
sembles a. skeptical foreign mission
field today, with church and non
church factions bitterly criticising j
each other, and those on the fence de
daring that things are going to the
demnition bow wows.
The Evans family arrived in town
recently, on their way to—somewhere
The head of the family is partially par
alyzed. and on account of his inert
ness and the age of the husband and
wife, they failed to keep up with the
j hace that the vaudeville stage set
j them. Anyway, they arrived here
stranded.
Being adherents of a religious de
| nomination, they sought, the pastor
who. although pinched financially him
self, gave them forty cents and pre
j rented their cause before a wealthy
j member of bis congregation. Put the
| wealthy member and others neglected
to assist.
The Evan: eg. discouraged, appealed
i to the proprietor of the Sherman
i house, who gave them beds, and in
! ibe hotel they found ebaritv. Several
j hotel "loungers" went out to the pool
rooms and cigar stores and raised a
i comfortable purse for the family and
sent them on their way to relatives at
Steelton. The whole affair hag set j
; the gossip pot boiling.
