ROAST FOR THE PROFITEERS
Chap>-in of Columbia University Post
Brands Graspers as "Greedy
| Human Vultures."
"Greedy human vultures" and
"crawllriK ghouls" were terms applied
to war profiteers by Rev. Dr. Herbert
Sblpman, chaplain of Columbia uni- |
versity post, No. 400, of the American
Legion, In his Armistice day sermon
a the Church of the Heavenly Rest
on Fifth avenue In New York.
Doctor Shipman, who is rector of
the Fifth avenue church and an over- j
seas veteran, said that he was bitter
igaiast "those who out of the sacri
fice and blood of others have coined
dirty money while posing as patriots."
The pastor read from a poem he
had written, the title of which Is "The
Profiteer."
It follows:
You have decked your frowzy wives with
borrowed splendors,
Tou have hung your daughters' necks
with stolen pearls;
Have you thought about the other wives,
the lenders,
Or the harlot* made to decorate your
girls?
Tou have fashioned from the needs of
sick and dying,
From the souls of children pleading for
the right,
Ready cash today to do your Christinas
buying.
Ready cash to pay your prostitute to
night.
' Tou have coined your filthy gold from
blood and sorrow;
' There are soldier graves across the
field of France,
Whence the dead through you upon to
morrow
Will rise to damn your profits with a
glance.
All the deathless deeds worth doing and
worth telling, >
All the things that noble men hold high
and true,
All but seemed to yoivfor buying and for
selling.
All to serve a greasy human vulture—
you!
God! That better men should toll and
sweat and labor,
Bear the cross and climb up Calvaries
of pain;
While the crawling ghouls that spare not
friend or neighbor
Damn the world to make a crucible for
gain.
If ln blackest hell, O Lord, there be a
blacker;
If beneath the deepest pit a deeper pit:
Not for harlot, thief or coward slacker
But for these that blackest, deepest hell
is fit.
Profiteers of every sort and kind and
fashion,
Where you tread full many other feet
have trod; '
You are ranged against the power of
Christ's own passion;
Here! Hehlnd you walk the searching
feet of cod.

THE BURGLAR
By JACK LAWTON.
(W, 1821. Wlttlfl Newspaper Union.)
Peggy lay in her white lied, wakeful
and staring at he moon. It was awe
some of course, i,, be entirely alone
at this silent hour of the night, In an
old mansion on an unfrequented sub
urban road. At memory of the safe
sheltered years past, her heart con
tracted suddenly. "How would It
seem," she wondered, "to he away for
ever from the eld home." For there
was hut one condition on which the
might remain—and that condition was
part of Peggy's problem. Long ago.
when her stepfather had taken her
mother to his heart, he Had taken the
girl too, with all a parent's love.
Father Knowles had truly been to her
a father. Perhaps because his own
son had proven a disappointment, the
man's hungry affection overflowed to
the girl who wns his wife's daughter
—and Peggy had repaid his love with
tender care In his later years.
Robert took with him a legacy left
by ills mother, and It was supposed
that like a prodigal he would return
when that legacy was exhausted. Peg
gy's mother had stepped In later to
fill the lonely breach, and the elder
Robert Knowles' Inst days had been
his happiest. His will. Peggy learned,
had been made In her favor, leaving
her In the event (if her mother's death,
sole heir to his estate. Peggy was
quite alone In the big echoing house
of memories, when most surprisingly
Robert Knowles. the son, came bftck.
It was at evening and Peggy in her
white frock received him in the tire
light. And he was at once so pleasing,
and good looking, and altogether dif
ferent from what she had been led to
expect, that her aversion vanished,
nnd ns the evening wore on, friendli
ness took Its place. Hubert Knowles
was apparently regretful of his youth
ful rashness and neglect to his father.
and the excuses he gave sounded true
enough. Peggy generously gave him
the benefit of the doubt, and when she
assured the son that no will could be
found, he announced his intention of
taking nil his abode in the house until
the matter should lie settled, Old Mrs.
Weston, the housekeeper, called in to
give Information, told Mr. Knowles
that she had witnessed a will made not
long before his father's death.
Peggy perplexed and confused as to
her own position In'the house which
had been her home, yielded to her
foster-brother's pleadings, for so
Robert Knowles named himself —and
stayed on, that her possible claim
might he proved. And when there
seemed no longer hope of that possi
bility, Robert Knowles asked the girl
to marry him, Peggy was not, sur
prised when, with white tense face,
the man asked his question, she had
seen love hovering near, For Peggy
in her own wisdom had learned the
meaning of love, though Paul Helmet's
manner of love was different In some
Intangible way from Robert Knowles'
And she had told Robert Kn«#wlea no to
his question. Marriage was the con
dition upon which Robert Knowles of
fered to Peggy her home, and she re
fused. Suddenly the girl sat tip In
bed, an unmistakable though muffled
sound In the lower hall started her
heart hammering painfully,
When the girl could bear the un
certainty no longer, she sprang from
her bed and slipped Into dressing gown

.fust as she had expected him to he.
She sank down behind the desk to
watch the burglar. Peggy silently
considered; there seemed no sane
chance of seeking aid. Then, with a
little soft rush, Peggy was at the
burglar's side, "Oh," she whispered
eagerly, "will you do that again
please — that way."
The man wheeled around abruptly,
his hands caught her.
"If you make .1 sound," he threaten
ed.
Her quick answer stayed the motion
of his hand toward her mouth.
"I won't." Peggy earnestly agreed.
"It wouldn't do any good."
The burglar stared fiercely.
"What the---" he began, but the
girl's words coining in a soft rush In
terrupted.
"You opened r. compartment In the
safe," she explained, which has never
been opened before. I saw you. It
had papers in it. folded up. I think
that a will is there which leaves this
property to me. Please raise that slide
again."
The man's sharp eyes left the girl's
face with a short, queer laugh. Then,
toward the two swung a shining panel.
Peggy put forth her hand excitedly
to draw out some folded papers.
'•See." she told him triumphantly.
"I was right."
"Do you know?" he said grimly, "I
almost thought you were stringing
me."
The bur-tar laughed uneasily.
"When you have decided to drop all
this crookedness," she said, "go right
to Mr. Paul Ilelmer. he will help you
to make good. I am grateful," she
added gravely, "for your finding of the
will. I shall keep my old home and
Robert Knowles may have the rest."
"Then," said the man. "you'd bet
ter send that there will tight to your
lawyer, and get It out of this house.
I'll mall it, If you'll trust me." he
grinned over the word, "on my way."
From the doorway the burglar
looked back again at tbe girl, the di
rected i envelope In his hand.
"Good night and good luck little
one," be said awkwardly.
THE PULLMAN HERALD
LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent of the Spaniards
the System Was In Vogue Among
the Aborigines.
Irrigation began In Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within its boundaries became a part
of the United States, years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic,
writes James It. I'rmhly In the Ameri
can Forestry .Magazine.
To bring the time down to a more
tangible date, the lirst irrigation wort
was done —according to tradition—
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar ditches about Xl Paso
and the Pecos country, which author-
ties of today claim were built for Irri
gation purposes. Another tradition
coming out of the past tells that these
ditches were built by the Yuma In
dians when they were driven west
ward by the Coruanehes and Apaches,
and not by the Pueblos,
When Coronado, the roving ex
plorer, opened tills country to the
Spaniards be found well-worked Irri
gation systems among the Indians;
this was In 1540 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice of
Irrigation was continued under the
Franciscan fathers, who constructed*
the five mission ditches that were
found near the present city of Sun
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
the work did not stop, mill grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
"In the name of the Mexican na
tion, grants him one (!«.,' of water with
its corresponding labor of land."
FROM LOWLY TOIL TO FAME
Edwin Dallin, Ranked as Great Sculp
tor, Was Ooce Wheelbarrow Boy
in Mine in Utah.
One of America's greatest sculp
tors, Edwin Dallin, was once a wheel
barrow boy in a mine in Utah, where
he tolled all day ft i- less than a dollar.
The miners uncovered v stratum of
white clay one morning, and Dallin,
forgetting hi-- work, sat down and be
gan to model a likeness of one of the
workmen. So lifelike was it that his
teacher, whun he returned to school
in the fall, sent It and some of his
drawings to a state fair being held
in Salt Lake City. A rich mine owner
had his attention called to the little
clay bust and he offered to furnish'
the boy transportation to Boston
where fie could enter an art school.
The boy worked long and hard, and
by the time he was twenty-one he had
a studio of his own. the Detroit News
recalls. He went to Paris shortly
afterward and began a series of In
dian poses, using the Indians from the
Buffalo Bill show at that time in
France, His first masterpiece. "The
Signal of Peace," was finished at that
time and he was recognized there
after as one of the world's greatest
sculptors. His "Ann Hutchinson,"
made for the Boston state house; "The
Medicine Man" in Fairmount park,
Philadelphia, and the great golden an
gel on the Mormon temple in Salt
Lake City are among his best known
works,
